Our story: where imagination takes shape
Welcome to Happy Little Things—a small rural Hawkes Bay studio where imagination truly takes shape, one layer at a time. Our shop is born from a simple mission: if it makes us smile, we want to share that joy with you. We believe the world needs more 'little things' that spark happiness, whether they are 3D printed fun or soft, needle felted magical companions.
The Digital: 3d Printed Fun
Using 3D printing technology, we bring digital designs to life. From articulating fidgets and magical mythical creatures to fun desktop companions, these items are designed to be touched, moved, and enjoyed. They're a perfect blend of modern digital design and pure, simple fun, showcasing the magic of geometry. These look like they've been pulled right out of a digital world. Regardless if it's a calming fidget, a fearless dragon or a splash of colour on your desk, these 3D printed items will add capture your imagination.
The Heart: Happy Little Creatures
Alongside the fun digital creations, I lovingly craft our Happy Little Creature collectibles. These are the soul of our shop—each one a unique character brought to life through a blend of soft needle felting, expressive polymer clay features, and intricate hand-painted details. Taking days, or weeks, to create just one, no two creatures are ever exactly alike, making them true collectable companions with a soul. You don't just buy these; you adopt them.
Our spark: creating and sharing joy
The spark that ignited Happy Little Things came from a deep love for creating new, adorable things and watching them come to life. Seeing the smiles my creations brought to people's faces inspired me to bravely step out of the shadows and share my ever growing collection of creations. I believe in continuously developing my creative skills and sharing something truly happy with others, handmaking every piece with joy.
"I can't say enough about Happy Little Things. Their unique creations truly bring a smile to my face every day. The attention to detail in both their 3D prints and charming felt creatures is simply wonderful!"
