What we do
A curated catalogue.
Real quote in two hours, Mon–Fri.
One person on your account.
A different shape than the legacy NZ promo industry — and the difference is the whole point. Here is exactly how we work.
The shape of the work
What happens, in order.
You tell us what you need
The product page form takes the structured signal: quantity, colourway, decoration, deadline, your logo.
No phone tag. No three-day email thread to start the conversation.
We send the full picture
One email with the full picture: your product mocked up in your colourway with your logo printed where it will sit, every decision confirmed, an itemised quote with no surprises, and a timeline tracked against your stated date — your quote attached for your records.
Composed by hand. Sent by lunchtime if you brief us by 10.
You pay from the email
The button in your quote email takes you straight to secure checkout. Or just reply and we'll sort it together.
Pay before 10am NZST and production books the same working day. After that, the next one.
We make it and ship it
Ten working days in production, then FedEx to your door — NZ-wide, fully tracked and insured. Your quote shows your delivery date.
No carrier invoices waiting for you when it lands. No surprises.
Step 2, in detail
What lands in your inbox.
The email is the whole thing. Not a teaser, not a placeholder, not a “we’ll get back to you with details.” Every question answered, signed by Gem, with the start button right there.

From the founder
Why it’s built this way.
Most NZ promo merch is built around an account manager who translates between a buyer with a vague brief and a supplier who can make many things. That translation layer adds three days, several phone calls, a PDF email-thread quote, an inflated price, and zero visibility on where your logo will actually land on the product.
Little Gems is a different shape. One person on your account, a deeply-engineered platform behind her, and a curated catalogue with a written rationale on every product. A real quote in two hours, Mon–Fri 9–5. A quote that is a proposal, not an invoice. One direct line. Hamilton-built. NZ-wide.
That’s the whole company. It’s deliberate — and it’s what lets us charge for the work instead of charging for the chaos.
— Gem
