NZ Woollen Blankets

Unique Thermacell Weave

There is a common misconception that wool is best suited exclusively for warmth in cool conditions. However, scientific tests consistently show that wool is ideal for apparel and bedding in hot, humid, dry, cold or wet conditions.  New Zealand Wool Blankets’ unique Thermacell weave enhances the properties of wool even further, making it efficient at regulating body temperature in the micro-climate of the bed.  Thermacell is woven to form a lightweight aircell which maximises air pockets. The result is a 365gsm blanket that allows maximum air circulation, with the equivalent thermal effectiveness of a 400gsm traditional blanket.  Independent tests by the Wool Research Organisation of NZ (Canesis) have shown that Thermacell blankets carry the (internationally used) TOG value of 1.1, proving their thermal effectiveness to be equivalent or better than a heavier, closed weave blanket.

Wandering Kiwi Child Locators 

The Giggle Bug is the most affordable locator. It is an effective, easy-to-use electronic child locator that gives parents peace of mind while out in public with small children.
The Giggle Bug clips easily onto a child’s clothing, and the small key fob is held by the parent. If a child wanders away or hides, the parent or caregiver simply activates the Giggle Bug by pushing the button on the handheld unit. The Giggle Bug emits a loud (85 dB), distinctive, child-friendly beep, until the child is located and the parent deactivates the unit.  The Giggle Bug has a range of 20-30 metres indoors and 30+ metres outdoors. Range varies based on environment and obstructions.  The Giggle Bug comes with a tamper-resistant safety feature. Should the Giggle Bug become dislodged or removed from the child’s clothing, and the clip closes, the unit will beep and flash until the clip is opened and re-attached.
