New Zealand small businesses we love this month:
Chasing Whimsies Fairies Small World Play
Designed by NZ mama of two, Hayley, and then “hand-crafted to life” in Nepal, Chasing Whimsies is a magical playland of fanciful characters and landscapes that inspire imaginative play and storytelling. Made from 100% wool felt (not to mention eco-friendly and fairtrade), we’re swooning over these ‘fairy cute’ creations.

Little Bug Mini Tumblers
Featuring the sweetest designs, these Little Bug Mini Tumblers are perfect for fluffies, hot choccys and quick on-the-go drinks for your tiny tot. This talented local Christchurch mum is forever dreaming up new designs and personalised product ideas for those searching for something unique to treasure.

The Dough Folk Premium Playdough
“Born from a family’s obsession with play dough,” qualified Zoologist and ECE Teacher, Rach, whips up buttery soft, premium play doughs and accessories to foster imagination and invite little ones to slow down and enjoy open-ended sensory play. We love that all products are handmade, 100% non-toxic, safe and compostable.

Lil Moo Portable Bottle Warmer
Formula mums, listen up. Lil Moo is changing the game with a portable bottle warmer for babes who prefer their milk to remain at that optimum temp. No more lugging thermoses or finding it easier to “stay home today,” these two savvy mamas have created a product that can be popped in a nappy bag and have a feed ready to go in 5 – 10 minutes.

Bibbles Dribble Bibs
Nominated for “best teething award” by Oh Baby! (and well-deserved, might we add), Bibbles’ dribble bibs are not only super cute but each bib is handmade “with 100% cotton and backed with absorbent cotton towelling” to keep bubs dry. We’ll happily take the blame for fuelling your new bib addiction.
