I have been buying some touristy New Zealand things from museum shops and op shops. This is my favourite so far.

I'm not sure how old this is, it has a 1950-60s look.

It can be much older. I've got an embroidery sampler that's almost 200 years old.

The phrase Kia Ora dates from WW1 I believe - it could well have been done in the early 1900s.
