One of my favourite shops at Victoria Park Market is The NZ Touch. Owned and operated by New Zealanders, this small store has a wide range of homewares and other things.
Many of the suppliers are small enterprises, which means that you could be there on a day when one of the supplier's is re-stocking and you get to meet the person who made your bowl, board, piece of jewellery.
This is a small operation so you get the personal touch: product knowledge is great, you can have a joke, be given recommendations on what to do on a rainy day in Auckland or for that matter a sunny day, good places to eat and where to get that all important good cup of coffee. They also gift wrap for free
