Christmas gift ideas NZ 2026: natural stone gifts they’ll keep

Most Christmas presents are forgotten by February. A piece of natural stone isn’t. Every board and table we make is cut from a single slab in our Auckland workshop, so no two are the same, and it’ll still be on the bench in twenty years. Here’s what to give, by budget, and when to order so it arrives in time.

Under $100: a marble serving board

Our serving boards are $99 each, cut from marble and onyx with a carved stone handle. They’re food safe once sealed, stay naturally cool for cheese and butter, and look good enough to leave out on the bench between uses.

Pick the stone to suit the person: Pink Storm pink onyx is the gift favourite, Emerald Vein is a deep forest green with white veining, and Jade Cloud green onyx glows when light hits it.

Under $200: an entertaining platter

For the person who hosts every Christmas lunch, our entertaining platters are $189 and give more room for a proper spread. Choose from Rosa Cloud pink onyx, Teal Tide teal marble with gold veining, Dune travertine or Silver Mist grey marble.

See every board and platter on one page in our gifts under $200 collection.

The Christmas Release: three boards, one of each

This year we’ve made a small Christmas release: three natural stone grazing boards in Christmas colours: burgundy red, deep green, and white with grey veining. Each is 600 × 250mm, big enough for a long Christmas lunch, and signed and numbered “Christmas Release 2026 · 1 of 3”.

• Price: $399 each, or $999 for the set of all three.
• On sale: Sunday 15 November at 7pm.
• First look: people on the first-look list get the link on Saturday 14 November at 7pm, 24 hours before everyone else.

There’s only one of each, so if you want one, join the first-look list.

For someone who has everything: a gift voucher

If you’re not sure which stone they’d pick, let them choose. Prime Piece gift vouchers come in $100, $200 or $500, are emailed instantly and last three years. They can be spent on anything in the collection, online or at the showroom, including the Christmas Release.

Because they’re emailed, there’s no delivery cut-off, so they’re the best last-minute gift we have.

A bigger gift: a marble side table

For a partner, a parent or a new home, a stone side table becomes the piece the whole room is built around. Ours start at $490 for a 450mm round marble top on a black steel frame, and orders of $500 or more ship free anywhere in New Zealand.

• Serpentine Storm, $490. Verde Imperiale marble, deep forest green with bold white veining.
• Dark Current, $510. Laurent Black marble with white and gold veining.
• Jade Rain, $520. White Calacatta with streaks of deep green and black.
• Jade Jewel, $520. Translucent green onyx, the rarest stone in the collection.

When to order for Christmas

Frequently asked questions

What is a good Christmas gift for someone who has everything in NZ?

Something handmade and one of a kind. A natural stone serving board ($99) or entertaining platter ($189) is made from a single piece of marble or onyx, so nobody else will have the same one. If you are unsure of their taste, a gift voucher lets them choose, and it is emailed instantly.

When do I need to order for delivery before Christmas?

Order by 15 December for delivery anywhere in New Zealand before Christmas. After that you can collect from the Wairau Valley showroom on weekdays, or buy a gift voucher, which is emailed instantly with no cut-off.

Are marble serving boards food safe?

Yes. Natural stone is non-porous once sealed and completely food safe. Wipe it with warm soapy water after use and avoid acidic cleaners like vinegar or citrus, which can dull marble over time.

Can I use a gift voucher on the Christmas Release?

Yes, gift vouchers work on the Christmas Release boards. Discount codes do not apply to those three boards, and Afterpay is available at checkout.
