Amenity Kit?
I flew NZ1 a few years ago LHR-LAX, when NZ first launched the 773ER. We had a brand spanking new aircraft, and I was in Business Premier.... it was a special flight to say the least.
As a souvenir, I saved my amenity kit but sadly lost the fun 'raccoon' eye mask that came it in on a recent flight. I wrote NZ customer service to ask but got nothing back. Any ideas on where else I can try, or where I can buy one?

I think you'll find the NZ J Amenity Kits have changed and you'll be able to confirm this but I believe that when you flew a few years ago the J Kit was in a box. Now it is a little envelope type thing with no fancy eye mask (Or at least when I flew in April to LAX in J that was the case

I remember when it came in a bag with corduroy eye mask and a "fancy" NZ pen.
The bag was useful, my partner still uses it!

My mum still uses one I gave her. My sisters have requested them as well but, unfortunately, it looks like we'll never see another one again.

The NZ envelope kit bag is the only one that I have not found a use for.
KLM boxy thing for my hard drive
BA Body Shop bag (very old) for my I-phone cables
Asiana bag (quite large) for my computer power cable
Air France fold-over thing for my other smaller hard drive
Daughter loves the Kate Spade QF bags - they have high cred ratings at Uni
Malaysia Airlines white and red bag (but now replaced by their Tumi wash bag) for my electric razor.
China Southern for my Braven (NZ Elite Christmas gift) speaker - nice and snug with pockets for connecting wires.
Has anyone found an alternative use for them as I have at least five and my Wife wants rid?

I took some photos.
The kit is as described by nz_crew.
It a small cardboard box - I think it's quite impractical for a traveller.
Box View, Amenity Box Seal & Pattern:
Open Box, Tissue Open & Closeup:

All in all, nothing special.
However, still worth getting as it means you are travelling in "Business Premier" and that's a whole lot better on the 773 than on the 772 or 774.
