Our Story

Crafting with purpose, wrapping with love

Our Mission

Mindful Creativity

We believe in the power of slowing down and finding joy in the creative process. Our approach focuses on the therapeutic benefits of handcrafting, making mindfulness accessible through everyday activities.

Sustainable Practices

We're committed to promoting eco-friendly materials and techniques that minimize waste while maximizing beauty. Every tutorial considers environmental impact and showcases alternatives to single-use gift wrap.

Community Connection

We foster a supportive creative community in New Zealand where both beginners and experienced crafters can share ideas, find inspiration, and celebrate the joy of handmade with others.

How It All Started

Our journey began in 2020 when founder Lisa Chen found herself overwhelmed by the digital world and yearning for more tangible, meaningful creative outlets. What started as a small workshop series in Christchurch quickly blossomed into a passionate community of crafters.

After noticing how many participants described the calming effects of hand-lettering and mindful gift wrapping, we realized these simple practices offered something precious in our fast-paced world: a chance to slow down, create with intention, and express care through handmade elements.

Today, we're dedicated to sharing these accessible art forms with people across New Zealand, proving that you don't need extensive artistic training to create beautiful, meaningful pieces that bring joy to both maker and recipient.

Each year, we host community events where participants create handmade cards and thoughtfully wrapped care packages for those in need, spreading joy beyond our immediate circle.
