A Pounamu Gift for Father's Day
He Taonga Mō Pāpā
There's a weight to a piece of pounamu that no other gift carries. Not just in the hand, but in the meaning.
When you give your father, your husband, your grandfather a taonga carved from this land, you're saying something words can't quite reach.
Father's Day is almost here (Sunday 6 Mahuru/September which is this weekend!), and we're making it easier to find something truly special.

Gift Ideas by Meaning
Not sure where to start choosing the perfect gift? Think about what you want to say:
"You are my strength" → Toki (Adze) – The traditional tool of builders and leaders. Carved from stone for survival, worn today as a symbol of determination, focus, and quiet power.
"You keep us safe" → Manaia (Guardian) – A spiritual protector with the head of a bird, body of a human, and tail of a fish. Balance between sky, earth, and sea.
"You've guided our journey" → Hei Matau (Fish Hook) – Prosperity, safe passage over water, and the provider who always brings his people home.
"Here's to the next chapter" → Koru (Spiral) – New beginnings, growth, and peace. For dads starting something new or simply deserving a fresh breath.
"You carry our story" → Hei Tiki – One of the most revered symbols in Te Ao Māori. Connection to whakapapa, passed down through generations.
Something for Every Dad
Beyond pendants, we also have pounamu rings and cufflinks for the dad who prefers something understated, and pounamu sculptures for a statement piece in his office or home.
Every piece is hand-carved, one-of-a-kind, and sourced from Te Tai Poutini (the West Coast). When you choose pounamu, you're choosing something that will outlast trends, outlast seasons, and grow in mana with every year it's worn.
