Our story

Every box tells a story — follow Kia Ora Kiwi from Aotearoa's producers to premium gift boxes around the world.

Matuora began with a simple idea — that the best of New Zealand deserves to be shared with the world, not as a random assortment, but as a thoughtfully curated gift that tells a story. Kia Ora Kiwi guides that journey, from the producers who craft each product to the moment someone opens a Matuora box far from home.

Kia Ora Kiwi's journey

The Matuora brand story

From Aotearoa to your door

How Matuora grew from a love of New Zealand into a premium gifting brand — six chapters from Kia Ora Kiwi's arrival to curated gift boxes around the world.

New Zealand Arrival

Ora the kiwi arrives in Aotearoa — a land of rolling hills, crystal lakes, and snow-capped mountains. Here, the adventure begins.

Discovering NZ Goodness

From sun-drenched orchards to lavender fields and mānuka forests, Ora discovers the incredible range of food, wellness, and artisan products New Zealand has to offer.

The Dream

Ora dreams of sharing the warmth of Aotearoa with the world — through premium gift boxes that celebrate the people, places, and products of New Zealand.

Meeting the Makers

Ora travels across the country meeting growers, beekeepers, artisans, and makers — learning the story behind every product destined for a Matuora box.

Curating the Boxes

Matuora is born — each gift box carefully curated to tell a story. Dried fruit, mānuka honey, merino wool, and more, all chosen with aroha.

Your Guide to Goodness

Kia Ora Kiwi sets off to guide customers on a journey through New Zealand — one thoughtfully curated box at a time, packed with meaning and ready to gift.

Our approach

Every Matuora gift box is thoughtfully curated — dried fruit, mānuka honey, merino wool, natural wellness products, and artisan goods from across Aotearoa. Each item is chosen for its quality, authenticity, and connection to the land and people who make it.

We work with passionate producers who share our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and manaakitanga — care and hospitality in every box we share with the world.
