The Made by Mum (MBM) Buy Sell NZ Facebook group started in April 2015, born out of an idea by one woman to not only support mums in business, but to also make NZ handcrafting businesses easily accessible. Now it has grown from small beginnings to a group of over 40,000 people with over 1000 sellers! Most sellers are busy mums but we do have a wide demographic of sellers, including grandparents, dads and even children. We try to get a good balance on the page between helping people find what they are looking for (in search of posts) and sales posts of amazing handmade products! Come and have a look, you will be surprised at what is on offer!!!! There are plenty of businesses with amazing items in stock and many who specialise in custom work. If you can imagine a creation, it's highly likely you'll find just the person to bring it to life for you!

One of the issues that keeps coming up on the page is safety. Yes, its great to support handmade and help families get what they need, however safety is always at the forefront of our page model. We have the following info and advice freely available to all members-

We strongly urge you to consider, and where applicable, ask the following questions of the seller before purchasing
