KJ Creations - home of unique giftware. All creations are one of a kind and handmade in Kaiapoi.
A wee piece of Kiwi nostalgia inspired by retired New Zealand currency. Laser carving enhances the detail of each coin bringing them to life in a way not seen on the actual coins. Each coin comes beautifully packaged ready to gift or just to spoil yourself. Our coins measure approximately 190mm diameter with a depth of 18mm. This can vary due to wood variations, but will not be less than stated.Using solid New Zealand Rimu sourced from local timber merchants enables shipping to most countries, (you will need to check individual countries requirements before shipping).Is there a date that holds significance to you? Let us know and we can incorporate it on to your clock.

2026 Kaiapoi Art Expo
17 - 19 JULY - Twenty years of the Kaiapoi Art Expo and it just keeps getting better and better. That’s what we hear from our audience and judging by the numbers that turn up to take a look at the work of our talented Waimakariri artist, it’s true.
We hope 2026 will be another big year for art and artists.
You’ll find a few changes this year, we’ve changed some aspects of the layout to allow more space for an improved experience.
We’ve expanded into the upstairs former restaurant for the Schools Expo and some artist demonstrations.
And to celebrate our 20 years we’ve invited previous Public Choice winners to exhibit a special artwork which will be showcased on the stage.
