"I ordered the Night Sky print of the night my dad passed. We framed it for my mum's birthday. She didn't say a word for a full minute. Then she just held it. It sits above her bed now."

About NZ new baby gifts

What is a thoughtful new baby gift in New Zealand?

The most considered EMBER new-baby gift is a Forever Print of the night the baby was born — a Night Sky map of the exact sky over the hospital, a Moon Phase print of that night, or a Tide Chart of a coastal birthplace. The print arrives with the baby's name, date and place printed on the artwork itself.

What do you give a new mum in NZ?

For a new mum, the EMBER gifts that are most-given are a Forever Moon Phase Print of her baby's first night (the exact moon that night, generated from real lunar data), a Holding Stone (pounamu, pocket-sized, grounding), or a pair of Featherfall paua earrings — light, considered, easy to receive when life is full.

What is a good gift for a baby that they will keep?

A Night Sky, Moon Phase or Tide Chart print of the night the baby was born is the EMBER answer for a gift the child will own for life — the actual sky, moon, or tide on the night they arrived. Printed in Aotearoa on archival paper, canvas, metal or acrylic. Parents commonly frame it for the nursery.

What is a good NZ-made baby shower gift?

For a NZ baby shower, EMBER pairs work best — a Forever Print to be designed once baby arrives (with a gift card), paired with a Deep Rest box for the new mum, or pounamu for the baby to be carried later in life. Each gift NZ-made in Aotearoa New Zealand with provenance on the story card.

When can I order a Forever Print for a new baby?

A Forever Print can be designed once you know the baby's date, time and place of birth — any date back to 1900 works, so you can also order for older children. The print is produced at full resolution in Aotearoa and ships within 7–10 business days NZ-wide door-to-door (5–7 production + 2–3 shipping).
