Japanese Christmas Gift Ideas for Matcha Lovers in New Zealand
Looking for a thoughtful Christmas gift that feels a little different this year?
Whether you're shopping for a matcha lover, someone who appreciates Japanese culture, or a friend who enjoys discovering new rituals, a Japanese-inspired gift can be a lovely way to bring something meaningful into their everyday life.
At More More Matcha, we believe that enjoying matcha is about more than what's in the cup. It's also about the little moments we make for ourselves — and the simple pleasures we can share with others.
If you're looking for unique Christmas gifts in New Zealand, here are a few ideas inspired by Japanese matcha culture.
A Christmas Gift for Someone Who Loves Matcha
For someone who already enjoys matcha, or someone curious about trying it, matcha-related gifts offer something they can enjoy long after Christmas Day.
Japanese matcha can be enjoyed in different ways, from a simple bowl of whisked tea to a creamy matcha latte or a refreshing iced drink.
Pairing matcha with a practical accessory makes the gift even more special. It gives the recipient not just a product, but a new way to enjoy their favourite drink at home, at work or on the go.
At More More Matcha, we offer Japanese matcha and thoughtfully designed matcha shakers to make preparing matcha more convenient.
A Japanese Matcha Shaker for Everyday Enjoyment
Not everyone has a bamboo whisk or the time to prepare matcha using the traditional method every day.
A matcha shaker offers a convenient alternative for making matcha with cold or room-temperature liquids. Simply add your ingredients, secure the lid and shake.
Our matcha shakers combine practical design with Japanese-inspired aesthetics, making them a useful gift for both matcha beginners and experienced drinkers.
Meet Kodai Shu Red — Our Christmas Limited-Edition Colour
Inspired by traditional Japanese colours, Kodai Shu Red is a deep, earthy vermilion that brings warmth and timeless elegance to your daily matcha ritual.
Its rich red finish feels especially fitting for the festive season, while its Japanese-inspired character makes it a beautiful addition to any matcha collection.
The Kodai Shu Red shaker is available to purchase online, so you can give it as a gift or enjoy it yourself.

A Beginner-Friendly Matcha Gift Set
Shopping for someone who wants to start enjoying matcha at home?
Our Beginners Set pairs Japanese matcha with a matcha shaker, making it an easy way to get started.
It's a thoughtful Christmas gift for someone who enjoys trying new drinks, exploring Japanese food culture or creating small moments of calm in their daily routine.
Instead of choosing separate items, the set brings together two essentials for enjoying matcha in a convenient way.

The Beauty of Japanese Furoshiki: A Gift That Can Be Used Again
In Japan, the presentation of a gift can be just as meaningful as the gift itself.
Furoshiki is a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth used to wrap and carry items of different shapes and sizes. Unlike disposable wrapping paper, a furoshiki can be folded, stored and used again for another gift or everyday purpose.
It can be used to wrap a lunch box, carry small belongings or beautifully present another gift. Its versatility means the wrapping itself becomes part of the present.
For a more thoughtful approach to Christmas gifting, reusable fabric wrapping offers a simple way to reduce single-use packaging while sharing a little of Japanese culture.
And that's the idea behind our special Christmas gift set this year.
Exclusive to JAPANZ Market: Our Kodai Shu Christmas Gift Set
For this Christmas season, we've put together something special for visitors to the JAPANZ Market.
Our limited-edition gift set brings together:

A gift box
The deep vermilion shaker, festive floral fabric and Japanese matcha come together in a gift that feels both seasonal and distinctly Japanese.
We especially love the furoshiki because it doesn't need to be put away once Christmas is over. Made from 100% cotton, it can be reused for future gifts or other everyday purposes.
It's a small detail, but one that allows the gift to be enjoyed well beyond the festive season.
Price: NZ$89
