Wraps for Good, managed by Chrissy Watson, was born very organically out of a strong desire to help. Help the planet, help people choose a reusable, environmentally-friendly product, and also support really heart-warming causes in the community.
The aim is to provide an excellent alternative to plastic wrap that is affordable and continue to give inspiration on the different ways to use them. Handmade beeswax wraps are made from 100% cotton, all-natural beeswax, pine resin, and jojoba oil.
Wraps for Good strive to offer really high-quality wraps in designs customers will love. They often change their fabric patterns depending on supply and season. Beeswax wraps typically have a lifespan of up to 6 months, sometimes longer. You can also rewax your wraps when they start to lose their stick.

In 2017, after playing with the concept for many years, Angela decided to take the plunge and start ProjectPlay.
Angela is a fully-registered ECE Teacher with a Teaching Bachelor’s Degree. She has over 10 years of private/corporate early learning centre teaching experience and has served as a liaison instructor, mentor and headteacher. She has a keen interest in infants’ and toddlers learning and development.
In sunny Hawke’s Bay, ProjectPlay is a kiwi-owned and run family company. Angela strives to bring consistency, open-ended loose parts and services for children ages 0-6 alongside her husband and son. For opportunities that inspire and spark the imagination, they do all the hard work and scour the neighbourhood and the globe.
They value real, authentic play experiences for children. Project Play is inspired by Montessori, Rudolph Steiner and Pikler philosophies while also supporting the theory of loose parts.
Chickpea Children’s Wear is focussed on providing quality, timeless alternatives to mass production and fast fashion. Their garments aim to be enduring and easy to wear, using quality fabrics, notions and fastenings.
Garments are available for infants and toddlers up to age 5 years. All pieces are made to order using only natural, breathable fibres such as cotton and linen. Fabrics are pre-washed for shrinkage before construction.
Chickpea’s colour palette is inspired by nature and muted vintage tones. Many of the garment styles and colour options are unisex, in a purposeful step away from the typical ‘girls wear pink, boys wear blue’ gender norm.
This business is also conscious of the environment and is especially aware of the negative impacts made by the fashion and textile industry.
