Meant To Be is a gift-ware boutique on Moir Street in Mangawhai, Kaipara, on the Northland coast. Its listing describes it as a gift shop with home décor, beauty products, babyware, clothing and kitchenware. Customers mention candles, jewellery, books, toys and baby clothes, as well as home décor pieces, and say the range is wide enough to find a gift or something for yourself.
Customers say the shop is cosy, that the staff are friendly, and that they are always greeted with a smile. One regular says they find it hard to leave once they are inside, and another, who travels from Whangārei to visit family in Mangawhai, has also been there.
