Found a New Zealand food souvenir you'd love to share with family and friends back home, but your suitcase is already full?
Between clothes, gifts and everything else you've picked up on your trip, finding space for a few extra souvenirs can be difficult.
Here's something you might not have considered: you can buy New Zealand-made butter cookies online and have them delivered directly to your home overseas.
At Lowrey Foods, we make butter cookies in New Zealand and offer DHL international delivery to eligible destinations. Whether you're travelling from Auckland, Queenstown or elsewhere in New Zealand, you can arrange to have your cookie gifts sent home without carrying them on your flight.
Can You Send New Zealand Souvenirs Home Instead of Carrying Them?
Yes. Some New Zealand souvenirs can be purchased online and delivered internationally, depending on the product and destination.
If you're looking for New Zealand food gifts to send overseas, it's worth checking the product's shelf life, packaging, delivery options and any customs requirements before placing your order.
Lowrey Butter Cookies are available in individual gift tins and multi-tin gift sets, with DHL international shipping to eligible countries.
You can place an order while you're visiting New Zealand and arrange delivery to your home, family or friends overseas.
This can be particularly convenient if you've already filled your suitcase or want to buy several tins for different people.
Lowrey Butter Cookies: A New Zealand-Made Food Souvenir
Lowrey Butter Cookies are handcrafted in small batches in New Zealand using New Zealand cultured butter.
Our Original Butter Cookies contain 42% New Zealand cultured butter, giving them a rich buttery flavour, balanced sweetness and a delicate, very fragile, melt-in-the-mouth texture.
They are not designed to be hard or crunchy. Their fine, delicate texture allows the cookies to crumble gently and melt in your mouth.
Each Original gift tin contains 430g of butter cookies and comes in our distinctive red metal packaging.
The Original recipe is made without egg, artificial flavours or preservatives. It contains milk and wheat.
Looking for a different flavour? Lowrey offers six butter cookie varieties:
- Original: Rich, classic cultured-butter flavour.
- Coffee: Aromatic coffee with cocoa notes.
- Chocolate: A rich cocoa flavour made with Dutch cocoa powder.
- Matcha: Distinctive Japanese green tea flavour.
- Raspberry: A fruity flavour with a gentle sweet-tart finish.
- Black Sesame: A roasted, nutty sesame flavour.
Each Lowrey tin contains one flavour only. If you choose a multi-flavour gift set, you will receive separate tins in the specified flavour combination, not a random selection or a mixture of different cookies inside one tin.

Why Send Your New Zealand Butter Cookie Souvenirs Home?
1. Save Space in Your Suitcase
It's easy to underestimate how much space souvenirs can take up, especially when you're buying gifts for several people.
Instead of trying to squeeze extra gift tins into your luggage, you can order Lowrey Butter Cookies online and have them sent directly to an eligible overseas address.
That means more room in your suitcase for the things you want to carry yourself.
It also saves you from having to reorganise your luggage just to fit in one more gift before your flight.
2. Share a Taste of New Zealand With Family and Friends
Some of the best souvenirs are the ones you can share.
A tin of New Zealand-made butter cookies can be opened with family over tea, shared with friends after your holiday or given to someone who couldn't join you on your trip.
Lowrey's red metal gift tins make them suitable for family gifts, host gifts, thank-you gifts and New Zealand food souvenirs.
Whether you're returning to the USA, Australia, Singapore, Canada or another eligible destination, you can check the available delivery options at checkout.
3. Buy Several Gifts Without Carrying Several Tins
Shopping for more than one person? A multi-tin gift set allows you to order several separate tins together.
Lowrey offers same-flavour value packs and fixed multi-flavour gift sets, making it easier to choose gifts for different people.
For example, our 4-Flavour Butter Cookies Gift Set includes four separate tins:
- 1 × Original Butter Cookies, 430g
- 1 × Coffee Butter Cookies, 430g
- 1 × Chocolate Butter Cookies, 430g
- 1 × Matcha Butter Cookies, 430g
The four flavours are fixed, not randomly selected. Each tin contains one flavour, making the set suitable for sharing between several recipients or enjoying different flavours at home.

Can You Send Lowrey Butter Cookies From New Zealand to the USA?
Yes. Lowrey Foods offers international delivery to eligible addresses in the United States.
If you're an American traveller visiting New Zealand, you can order Lowrey Butter Cookies online and arrange delivery to your US home address, rather than carrying all your cookie gifts on your return flight.
For example, if you're travelling in New Zealand and plan to return to the USA in a few weeks, you can place your order while you're still on holiday and arrange for the cookies to be shipped to your US address.
We recommend checking the estimated delivery time at checkout and monitoring your shipment so that you or another recipient can receive the parcel.
US import duties, taxes, customs fees or documentation requirements may apply. The recipient is responsible for any applicable destination charges.
Delivery dates are estimates and may be affected by customs clearance and courier handling.
Will Your Butter Cookies Still Be Fresh When You Return Home?
Lowrey Butter Cookies have a shelf life of nine months from production.
The remaining shelf life of your order depends on the production batch you receive. Always check the best-before date printed on the product.
This makes it possible to plan ahead when buying New Zealand food gifts for family and friends overseas.
For the best flavour and texture, store your cookies in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. After opening, close the metal tin firmly.
Lowrey Butter Cookies are naturally very delicate and fragile. Although the red metal tin provides external support, some cookies may break during international courier handling and transport.
If you're ordering cookies for a birthday, family gathering or another special occasion, allow sufficient delivery time rather than relying on an exact arrival date.
