About Us

Hi, I’m Jojo — the one-woman maker behind KiwiCrafted.

By day, I’m a paramedic for St John. To unwind from the intensity of the job, I turn to crafting. It keeps my hands busy and my mind calm. Over the years I’ve tried everything from crocheting and painting to needle felting and furniture restoration.

I recently moved to beautiful Marlborough from Invercargill, and this inspiring landscape has deepened my love for natural, handmade creations.

Why Three Brands Under One Roof

Each brand started as a creative outlet:

•  Skin Kiss – gentle, natural skincare, perfumes and artisan soap free from harsh chemicals

•  Little Kiwi – Fun essentials for babies, kids (and even adults!).

•  Wooly Whiffs – quirky needle-felted car fresheners made from NZ wool

I decided to bring them together under KiwiCrafted so everything lives under one roof, all made with the same values: natural materials, small-batch care, and genuine craftsmanship.

I’m blessed with four wonderful grown children, two amazing grandchildren, and one very charismatic cat named Russell, who often oversees my creative and quality control😽

Above all, I love the smiles and joy my creations bring to others. Thank you for supporting my small handmade business from Marlborough, New Zealand.
