Help Us Honour Every Baby’s Name — Macrons, Accents & All ✨
Help Us Honour Every Baby’s Name — Macrons, Accents & All ✨
Nationwide
We’re raising funds to buy a laser engraving machine that will let us properly engrave all names — including macrons and special characters — our current engraving machine has a frustrating limitation: it doesn’t support macrons or special characters. That means many beautiful names — especially in te reo Māori and other languages — can’t be engraved properly.
The machine we are wanting is currently on sale for $1,857.25 (down from over $3,000), but this price is only valid for 10 days. We need your help to make this happen!
Your donation will help us:
Celebrate names with all the correct characters
Honour te reo Māori and other languages with respect
Grow our small business and support our whānau
We believe every child’s name deserves to be seen, spoken and remembered — exactly as it was given.

🎉 We Did It — Thank You! 🎉 21 July 2025
Thanks to your incredible generosity, we've surpassed our fundraising goal for the laser engraving machine! Your support means the world to us, and we are deeply grateful for each and every contribution.
What's Next?
The additional funds raised beyond the cost of the machine will be used to purchase name plates for engraving. This ensures that every plaque we create moving forward will honor each baby's name with the utmost care, including the correct use of macrons and other special characters.
Why This Matters:
Accurately representing each name is a vital part of our mission. With this new equipment, we can ensure that every engraving reflects the dignity and respect each child deserves.
Thank you for being a part of this meaningful journey. Your kindness and support make all the difference. ❤️
