Little essentials, right when you need them.
Thoughtfully stocked vending machines for parents and caregivers across New Zealand.
Thoughtfully stocked vending machines for parents and caregivers across New Zealand.
Tiny Needs was born from the moments every parent knows too well. The forgotten nappy. Wipes that ran out. A lost dummy right when you need it most.
It always happens when you’re already out, juggling kids, a pram, bags, and the hundred little things that come with leaving the house.
So we created Tiny Needs.
Simple vending machines stocked with baby and toddler essentials, placed exactly where parents need them most: shopping centres, family spaces, and parent rooms across Aotearoa.
Because sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference.
Every machine is stocked with the essentials you’re most likely to need on the go.
We’re just getting started, with more machines rolling out across Aotearoa soon.
From parents who've been exactly where you are.
We were at Sylvia Park and my little one had a complete meltdown. No snacks, no dummy, nothing. Found the Tiny Needs machine and honestly felt like I'd discovered treasure. Lifesaver doesn't even cover it.
The nappies ran out mid-shopping trip. I was dreading the whole pack-up-and-find-a-chemist ordeal. Spotted the machine and it was genuinely one of the most relieved I've felt as a parent. Such a smart idea.
My teething baby was absolutely beside herself and I'd forgotten everything at home. The machine had exactly what I needed. I want one of these in every single shopping centre in New Zealand.
A mall, a community centre, the airport, anywhere parents could use a hand. Every suggestion helps us decide where to go next, and where we’re needed most.
