The warmth, in their words
"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."
"We sent EMBER boxes to 40 clients. Three emailed saying it was the most considered gift they'd ever received from a business. The packaging alone sparked conversations."
"Got the Moon Phase print of the night our daughter was born. The detail is unreal — you can see the exact shadow on the moon that night. It's the first thing people notice when they walk in."
The most considered EMBER Matariki gifts are those rooted in Aotearoa's sky and whakapapa — a Forever Print of the Matariki cluster on the morning of pre-dawn rising (Night Sky map of the eastern sky from your location at that hour), pounamu pieces from Te Wai Pounamu, and ritual gifts marking the new year.
Matariki is the Māori New Year, marked by the pre-dawn rising of the Matariki star cluster (Pleiades) over Aotearoa's eastern horizon in late June to early July. The Matariki public holiday in NZ falls on the Friday closest to the cluster's rising — confirmed by Te Papa each year.
A Matariki gift should honour the season's themes — remembrance of those who have passed, gratitude for the harvest, and hope for the year ahead. EMBER's most-gifted Matariki pieces are pounamu (cultural taonga from Te Wai Pounamu), Night Sky prints of the Matariki cluster, and the Holding Stone for those marking remembrance.
For corporate Matariki gifting in Aotearoa, EMBER supplies pounamu Holding Stones, paua-detail pieces and Night Sky prints of the Matariki cluster — each in matte kraft packaging with an A6 cotton story card explaining the cultural significance. Bulk pricing from 20 boxes.
