About Us!

GiftsNZ.com (Simply Souvenirs Ltd) opened its doors in May 2002

Welcome to our web site
My wife and I have lived in the North Island of New Zealand all of our lives and have finally settled in Taupo. The temperatures here are debatably a couple of degrees cooler than the rest of the North Island but the humidity is also considerably less, suiting us both. We have worked in retail all our working lives and have enjoyed selling gifts and souvenirs the most. The customers in our store are always happy as they are usually on holiday whether they are tourists or local Kiwis. The web site seemed a natural follow on to the shop and sure enough the response has been fantastic. Thanks to all of our regular online customers.

One of the many challenges we strive to achieve is to have New Zealand Souvenirs that are original and that little bit different. As a result this web site is always changing and being updated. Old stock that is not popular is deleted and new stock tested for a limited time. We have many suppliers covering the whole of New Zealand.
