Welcome to Horace and Henry, your premier online destination for unique gifts and elegant homewares in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand.
We are Erin and Lowri Baker, a husband and wife team based in Ongaonga, Central Hawke’s Bay, and our journey began in 2016 with a passion for creating beautiful, handcrafted products.
Our Story: Our adventure began with the opening of The Old School House Gift Store in our village of Ongaonga, where we quickly grew into a thriving gift store.
Adapting to Change: With the onset of COVID-19, we made the difficult decision to sell our physical store and transition to an online platform under the name Horace and Henry. This move allowed us to continue sharing our passion for quality and design with a broader audience.
The Meaning Behind Our Name: The name Horace and Henry is a tribute to our family heritage. Horace Baker was Erin’s grandfather, and Henry Roberts was Lowri’s father. By combining these names, we honor our family’s legacy and the values they instilled in us.
Our Mission: At Horace and Henry, we believe that every home deserves to be a sanctuary filled with beauty and warmth. Our mission is to curate a collection of high-quality, stylish products that reflect our commitment to excellence and our love for beautiful design.
