Welcome to Celebrate Aotearoa
Celebrate Aotearoa is a proudly New Zealand-owned gift store based in Glen Innes, Auckland.
We are a small, carefully curated store that celebrates Aotearoa, Māori and Pasifika creativity, alongside local, independent and selected international makers whose work connects with our wider story.
Inside our store, you will find gifts, artwork, homeware, jewellery, accessories and creative pieces chosen with care. Some are handmade, some are small batch, some are locally sourced, and many carry the stories of the people, places and cultures behind them.
We believe a good gift should feel meaningful. Whether you are buying for whānau, friends, work, visitors, a special occasion, or yourself, our aim is to help you find something with quality, story and connection.
Not every item in-store is made in New Zealand, but the majority of our range supports New Zealand-based businesses, artists, makers and suppliers.
Our team is always happy to help you understand who made the work, where it comes from, and the story behind it.
Thank you for visiting Celebrate Aotearoa and for supporting local, independent and creative businesses.

Over the past few years, Celebrate Aotearoa has proudly hosted and supported a series of pop-up markets - vibrant events that bring together our community of makers, artists, and small business owners right here in Glen Innes.
Since our very first pop-up, which welcomed over 200 market-goers in our first year, we’ve continued to grow and evolve. Our pop-ups have showcased a beautiful mix of experienced vendors and first-time creatives, each adding their own unique energy and talent to the space.
These events have never been about profit, they’ve been about connection, collaboration, and community. Each market is an opportunity to meet other creatives, share ideas, and celebrate local entrepreneurship while offering the community a chance to shop small and support local. We have also shared our experience via mentorship with the newbies to build sustainable business practice for themselves and their families.
We’re proud of how far we’ve come and look forward to continuing to create spaces where creativity, culture, and collaboration thrive.
Malo,
