2026 Critter of the Week Pouch

PLEASE NOTE: This is a pre-ordered product. Orders will be dispatched mid-November.

Nicola Toki, resident critter expert and self-confessed "nature nerd", teams up with RNZ’s Jesse Mulligan and Joyya for Critter of the Week: a celebration of the quirky, lesser-known native critters and plants of Aotearoa. Each week, Critter of the Week spotlights an uncharismatic but lovable member of New Zealand's wildlife. Catch the show every Friday, 1–4pm on RNZ. 

As always, illustrator Giselle Clarkson does not disappoint! Her 2026 special edition design was inspired by old-school specimen boards - the kind you'd find in a naturalist's collection, complete with pinned illustrations, numbered labels, and a dash of scientific charm.
