Thanks everyone. I perhaps wasn't as clear as I could've been - not necessarily looking for Kiwiana stuff just something that she won't be able to get in Sydney (wouldn't want to go to PP when she can get her own stuff there IYKWIM)

Also Nature baby has some gorgeous stuff. Can be a wee bit pricy but it really great stuff. Think it is www.naturebaby.co.nz

Goodluck with deciding, there is some really cool NZ made stuff out there when you start looking as mentioned above by everyone !]]> Wed, 12 Sep 2007 19:58:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10660&PID=212439&title=made-in-nz-gift-help#212439 <![CDATA[Made in NZ gift help!! : bugger you Nikki. now I want...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10660&PID=212236&title=made-in-nz-gift-help#212236 Author: lizzle

Baby factory sells All Blacks gear it's sooo cute. I've seen little silver boxes at different jewelery shops with paua shell made into the lid and things like that, they come in birth cert holders, 1st lock of hair box and things like that. My sister bought my youngest daughter one and got it engraved it's such a nice keepsake. ]]> Wed, 12 Sep 2007 15:11:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10660&PID=212230&title=made-in-nz-gift-help#212230 <![CDATA[Made in NZ gift help!! : yeah some of the AB and buzzy...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10660&PID=212128&title=made-in-nz-gift-help#212128 Author: Bombshell

Check out some work at home mums on trade me.. the problem with buying stuff from a souivner shop is that it's mostly made in China (an issue that has been on my mind lately).

What about some possum or lamb skin booties, I had some lovely ones when Ella was born. Although depending on where in Aus she is, they might be too hot.

This woman is my sewing idol:

Thanks for your ideas everyone (and your PM Glow!) I should point out that they have lots of Buzzy Bee and ABs stuff because they have a 19mth son. I have been sending him HM books too but there's bound to be new ones!
Good idea about Mary Lou although I'll have to check she didn't buy it for the last bub (when she didn't know whether it was he/she).
I am really wanting to get her a little outfit so might look at the Mokopuna stuff ]]> Wed, 12 Sep 2007 10:05:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10660&PID=212053&title=made-in-nz-gift-help#212053 <![CDATA[Made in NZ gift help!! : You could get something with All...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10660&PID=212050&title=made-in-nz-gift-help#212050 Author: caliandjack

oooh oooh buzzy bee would be kewl, or one of those mary-lou wooden dollies, it's classic kiwi kids stuff!

otherwise you could try souvenir shops - they tend to have heaps of made in nz stuff for the touristy type so i would say one of those places would be your best bet - also they'd be likely to sell the buzzy bee stuff too and clothes toys etc with them on it.]]> Wed, 12 Sep 2007 08:25:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10660&PID=211995&title=made-in-nz-gift-help#211995 <![CDATA[Made in NZ gift help!! : What about a buzzy bee toy?

My cousin had a wee baby girl yesterday (only 2.5kg!) and I want to send over a gift for her (she's in Oz) but most of the shops I would go to over here to buy a pressie they have over there. Can anyone recommend somewhere (or something) to get a gift (clothing or?) made in NZ?
