The foundation of Daisy & Iris Unique Poi Creations

The name Daisy & Iris was Inspired by my two beautifull daughters. My eldest Joy-Daisy Ngaraka who is named after her great grandmothers. And In between, my son Ashly-James Te Ahikaiata who is named after his great grandfathers. And lastly, my youngest daughter Iris-Jade Aniwaniwa who is our baby of the family and is named after the Iris flower, the jade green stone and the rainbow..We are a creative bunch with big creative minds still learning and finding our shine in the world. Opening a Poi, Craft or Wellbeing business was always something I had wanted to do for a very long time, especially when my children came into this world and joined me on my journey. Back then, Daisy's Unique Poi was the original name I would go with. And after baby Iris, me and my eldest daughter decided to extend our business name and go with Daisy & Iris Unique Poi Creations instead. And well, it fit perfectly like two peas in a pod😍 Who am I? My name is Danielle Hiraina Wharepapa and I am Mother and Creator of Daisy & Iris Unique Poi Creations.

Why Poi?

My family are Maori. Born and raised in the Eastern Bay of Plenty of New Zealand, in a little ole town called Kawerau. I spent majority of my years growing up between here and Australia and my creative passion for poi making first started as a hobbie back in 2015 while I was living and working in Sydney.

Past. when I was kid I use travel around with my Koro and his haka group, Tuhoe ki Kawerau. and at times I would sit quietly and watch our Nanny Kura McClutchie make Poi for the haka team for the Tuhoe Ahurei. It was always fascinating to watch and I even got my first pair of poi from her back then I was so proud I took them to school with me and ended up performing with them in our primary school kapa haka🥰

Fast forward to the Present. Poi making is one of those pratices that has become second nature to me and I enjoy it a lot.

The Poi I make are not professional standard like the Poi you will see on Te Matatini stage, however I do create them for the same purposes and they last a lengthy period of time after use.
