🌿 A BIG THANK YOU FROM MANAWA GEMS 🌿

Kia ora whānau! 🤎

Manawa Gems would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came along to the market last night and to everyone who purchased our products! 🥰

It was definitely a very busy night, and we are so grateful for all the support, aroha and kōrero shared with us. It means so much to our little business to see our community supporting what we do. 🌿🤎

After a busy night and weeks the Manawa Gems team will be taking this weekend to rest, recharge and reset ourselves. We believe it’s important to take time to look after ourselves too! ✨

But don’t worry, whānau! If you need any of our beautiful products, you can still shop online through our website.

✨ WOW, WHAT A WEEKEND AT CRAFTER LATITUDE 46! ✨

A huge ngā mihi (thank you) to everyone who came along, supported our small business, purchased our products, and shared such beautiful feedback — especially our returning customers. ❤️ Your continued support truly means the world to us!

We absolutely love bringing Rongoā Māori and kaupapa Māori products back to Southland, sharing Kawa, ako and tikanga that inspire everything we do. 🌿

What started three years ago as a personal journey, searching for something that worked for my sensitive skin when many man-made products just weren’t right for me, has grown into something I never imagined — a business of my own! 🥹❤️

To see how far this journey has come is incredibly special. Every purchase, every kind word, and every returning customer reminds us why we started and keeps us going.

Thank you for being part of our journey, supporting our kaupapa, and helping us share our passion with our community. We are so grateful! 🌱✨

With aroha,
Manawa Gems ❤️🌿
