Market Opportunity – Nelson/Tasman

Shows, Events, Fetes & Fairs

For over 11 years, Nathalie’s Gemtrees has been a highlight of the Nelson Market — a well-loved stall that locals and visitors return to again and again. Our handcrafted Crystal Gemtrees always draw a crowd: they sparkle, they’re meaningful, and they sell.

This sale includes the flagship Nelson Market stall, one of the most successful and well-established sites at the market with 11 years of proven sales. Nathalie will continue to handcraft all Gemtrees, so the new owner receives ready-to-sell, high-quality stock and a fully supported business from day one.. Alongside Nelson Market, Nathalie also hold regular stalls at regional events and festivals across Nelson/Tasman (craft fairs, seasonal shows, and community markets). All of these opportunities will be passed on to the right person.

This is a rare chance to step into a prime, established business presence with proven sales and a loyal customer base.

How It Works

✅ Purchase Gemtrees direct from us at wholesale rates.
✅ Sell ready-made stock at the Nelson Market and other Tasman events/festivals already secured.
✅ Easy setup – a full stall display fits in the back of a car and carries $3,000–$4,000 worth of stock.
✅ Market setup and pack-down takes about 45 minutes — much quicker and easier than most stalls (like food vendors), making it a low-effort, high-return option.
✅ Simply reorder as you sell.
✅ Choose your style – go big with gazebo & signage, or keep it simple with a table & display.

✅ Confident chatting to people and making sales.
✅ Available for Saturday markets and local events/festivals.
✅ Has a vehicle + some storage space.
