Remarkable Gifts, at 13 Beach Street in Queenstown, is a souvenir shop that sells New Zealand-designed souvenirs, local products, manuka honey, magnets, alpaca toys and fashion, and small gifts. Customers mention souvenirs most often, and say the range is good and the prices reasonable. The website also lists beauty, health and food products. Products sent overseas are shown as tax free, the website says, as New Zealand GST is 15%. Orders are sent by New Zealand Post within five working days of payment, and postage depends on weight and destination.
Staff are the most praised part of the shop. Customers call them friendly without being pushy, and helpful. One visitor who had been into several souvenir shops said this one was by far the best, with good quality gifts at great prices. Open Locally lists 11 other gift shops within a kilometre. The Outpost and DF Souvenirs, both within 0.1 km, are rated 4.5 from 80 and 166 reviews. None of the 11 gift shops with 10 or more reviews is rated higher than this one.
