Ordered the hei matau for my son before he moved overseas. It came well packaged with a little card explaining what it means. He wears it every day now.

Bought the toki mostly for myself. Wasn't expecting the cord work to be this good honestly, and it's heavier than it looks in photos.

Shipping to the UK took just over a week. The rei pounamu is bigger in person than it looked in the photos, which was a nice surprise.
