Our Story
A little shop with a big
love for Aotearoa.
Forget Me Not is a family-owned New Zealand souvenir and gift shop, proudly situated at Cathedral Junction in the heart of Christchurch CBD — right beside the heritage tram.
We opened our doors because we believed Christchurch deserved a souvenir shop that genuinely represented New Zealand — not just a shelf of imported trinkets, but real products made by real Kiwi hands, from the landscapes and crafts that make Aotearoa special.
Every item we stock has been chosen with care. Our possum merino knitwear comes from New Zealand’s finest mills. Our pounamu pendants are hand-carved by certified Māori artisans. Our mānuka honey is UMF-certified and sourced from New Zealand’s pristine wilderness. We don’t just sell souvenirs — we tell stories.
Cathedral Junction is a special place. It’s where the heritage tram runs, where visitors from around the world explore the rebuilt city, and where locals come to find the perfect gift. We’re proud to be part of that story — and proud to welcome you to our shop.
