It may be the season of gift-giving and feasting with loved ones, but that doesn’t mean you can’t treat yourself every now and then. Shop Your Home and Garden is a treasure trove of art prints, ceramics, bedding and tableware, from a range of local creatives. It’s easy to get tempted as you browse through the pages, each item more captivating than the last.
With the sun streaming in and mercury rising, I asked our editorial team to tell me the homewares they have their eye on for summer. From art prints featuring New Zealand native birds to glasses to toast in the season, our bank accounts might not be thrilled – but our homes certainly will be.

Might and Magic (Piha, Waitakere Ranges) – Limited Edition Print
$540.00 from Shop Your Home and Garden
“I spend so much time at Piha over the summer that the idea of having one of Jen Sievers stunning limited edition prints of Lion Rock isn’t just a nice to have. It’s mandatory for me.”
– Fiona Hawtin, Editor, Your Home and Garden
The Dip Bowl | Blue
$49.00 from Shop Your Home and Garden
“In my world, summer means only one thing when it comes to food – platters! Seafood, cheese, Mediterranean, fruit, you name it, I love them all. And no platter is complete without a sensational dip. And what makes a dip even better? When it’s served in a beautiful artisan dip bowl. I love that this one reminds me of our great Kiwi beaches, where I’m hoping to spend most of my time over the holidays.”
– Sarah Henry, Editorial Director
Kererū Art Print
$65.00 from Shop Your Home and Garden
“I’m obsessed with the beautiful native birds in my garden and now I’m trying to bring them into the house too with Shop YHG’s huge range of art prints. This kererū perched on a kōwhai branch makes me smile every time I look at it.”
– Sebastian van der Zwan, Editor, Woman’s Day
Cast Iron Dutch Oven in Orange
$258.00 from Shop Your Home and Garden
“I’m determined to improve my lacklustre cooking skills this summer, so I have my eye on this Dutch oven. The colour is stunning. I can’t wait to crack open my (largely untouched) cookbook collection and make the most of summer produce.”
– Bryony Ammonds-Smith, Content Producer
Ceramic Takeaway Cup
$67.99, from Shop Your Home and Garden
“This reusable cup is beautiful and useful and not plastic, so three important ticks! This is a perfect gift for my sisters and my daughter. And I’ll probably add one to cart for myself too.”
– Kirsty Cameron, Editor, Listener
The Perfect Pearl Coupe (Set of 4) in Blush
$92.98 from Shop Your Home and Garden
“I adore this pearl series. I bought the champagne flutes as an engagement gift for friends recently, and I just need some for myself. The oh-so-pretty coupes are perfect for summer. I’m imagining toasting to the warmer evenings while sipping on prosecco, without a care in the world.”
– Katie Delany, Senior Digital Content Producer
Grey Piped Edge + White Sheel Full Sheet Bundle
$719.50 at Shop Your Home and Garden
“Summer calls for fresh, crisp, white bedding. Over winter, my sheets have gotten a little stained with fake tan and morning coffee, so I’m desperate for new bedding to see me through summer. I love this set from House of March, which includes a duvet cover, pillowcases, flat sheet and fitted sheet. The grey piped edge adds a modern twist (but will hold up to bleaching in case of more coffee spills).”
– Sarah Templeton, Shopping Editor
