Skip the crowded malls and packed stores—this Christmas, make it meaningful by celebrating New Zealand handmade and crafted gifts!
Why Choose Handmade?
The Merry Makers' Christmas Market is all about spreading the joy of giving unique, heartfelt gifts created right here in New Zealand. Each item you’ll find has been thoughtfully crafted by talented local makers. When you choose handmade, you’re not just buying a gift; you’re supporting an artist’s dreams and fueling the love they pour into their craft. Come talk to the makers, discover their stories and passion behind every creation. Experience the warmth and care that make each gift truly special.
What You’ll Find: 🎄 Christmas Crafts & Unique Gifts
From unique handcrafts to bath and bodycare, candles, fashion jewellery, art and one-off creations, our market has something special for everyone on your list. Find that perfect gift without the stress of big crowds, all while supporting local small enterprises.
🎄 DIY Christmas Cards & Decorations Station!
Tap into your creativity and design festive cards and decorations using upcycled materials. From unique ornaments to personalised holiday greetings, you'll craft meaningful, eco-friendly creations while helping reduce waste this festive season.
Perfect for all ages, this hands-on activity is brought to you by The ReCreators, who are passionate about teaching how to reduce and reuse natural resources in fun and creative ways.
🐾 Bring Your Furry Friends
No need to leave your pups or pooches in a hot car—well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome to join the fun! Bring your furry friend along to find the perfect gift for those special people in your life, or maybe even for themselves!
🎨 Festive Face Painting
Children (and the young at heart) can enjoy a bit of extra festive fun with face painting! Whether they want to become a sparkly snowflake, a jolly elf, or a reindeer, our friendly face painter will add a little extra cheer to their day.
🍪 Delicious Treats & Coffee
Savour handcrafted goodies, from cookies and slices to other festive treats. Pair your snacks with a freshly brewed coffee or hot chocolate, and relax in the joyful ambience of the market as you shop.
