The gift that knows them.

Bespoke baskets and hand-crafted busy books, made one recipient at a time. Nothing off a shelf, nothing out of a standard box.

The Signature Basket

Tell us about them: the tea they hoard, the candles they burn, the trip they keep talking about. Megan curates up to ten pieces around who they actually are, then finishes it with the useful luxuries every basket deserves.

  • Their favourite things, up to ten, sourced one by one
  • A candle they will actually burn
  • Hand moisturiser for the desk drawer
  • Dog biscuits, if there is a dog
  • Wrapped, ribboned and finished by hand

For corporate thank yous, too

A step above the generic client hamper. Megan builds each basket around what you actually learnt in the room: the holiday they were counting down to, the daughter starting school, the thing they said they would finally do once this was signed. The thank you that proves you were listening to more than the deal.

A busy book they keep for life

Megan crafts a one of one felt busy book around your child. Their name stitched to the cover, their world built into every page. Made to be played with at two and found again at forty.

Their name on the cover

Stitched in felt, letter by letter. No template, no reprints.

Letters, numbers, planets

First learning made touchable: pieces that button, zip, count and move.

Their favourite things

Pages built around what they love, in the spirit of the friends they adore.

A page for photographs

A pocket to hold pictures of the year they were small.

$250 to $500 NZD, by pages and detail. Allow two weeks
