    For friends far and near

    A gift card is the easy answer when you'd like to give something good but aren't sure what they'd choose. They pick the fibre, the colour and the fit, whether that's a possum merino jumper, a silk layer or something for the home.

    It arrives by email with a code to use at checkout, so it can reach someone down the road or on the other side of the world in the time it takes to send. No postage, no waiting, and no second-guessing sizes.

    Gift cards are valid for five years, so there's no rush to spend it.

    Can homeware be sent overseas?

    Yes. A small number of items are restricted for international freight, and if anything in your order is affected we'll contact you before we send it.

    Does this make a good gift?

    It's a large part of why people buy natural fibre homeware. There's no sizing to get wrong, and a throw, duvet or set of tea towels suits a household rather than one person's taste, which takes most of the guesswork out of it.

    Natural fibre pieces also tend to be used rather than put away. Wool and possum merino in particular improve with use and last for years, which counts for more than novelty at a wedding, a housewarming or a new baby.

    Where a piece is made here it carries an NZ Made tag, which is worth knowing if you're sending something overseas.

    We don't gift wrap at the moment, but we're happy to include a message from you. Add it in the notes when you order, along with who it's from. If a gift turns out not to be right, the recipient can note that on the returns form and we'll handle the exchange discreetly.

    Is your homeware made in New Zealand?

    Some of it is, and the product page will tell you. Anything made here carries an NZ Made tag. Much of the range is designed in New Zealand and made offshore, and we'd rather be straight about the difference than blur the two.

    Is it dishwasher or microwave safe?

    It varies by item, so check the product page. Where there are restrictions, we list them in the product details. If it isn't clear, email sales@nznature.co.nz and we'll confirm before you buy.
