About The Quirky Magpie

A shop of vintage, new and locally made gifts and homewares on Queen Street in Waimate, which the website says has moved to a bigger and brighter space. The Quirky Magpie is at 65 Queen Street, near Timaru. The shop stocks New Zealand wool blankets, bags and apparel, New Zealand candles, linen, clothing and bedding, and jewellery. The website names brands including Exquisite Wool Traders, MM Linen, Living Light Candles, Le Forge, CC Interiors, Wyld and George & Edi. The owner has a background in art and interior design, and the website says the shop can help people bring furniture, decor and art into the home.

Reviewers describe warm, friendly and helpful staff who go over and beyond, and a shop with lots of choice in gifts, clothing and homewares. One reviewer bought a locally made sweater, and another says the clothing and bedding are beautiful, affordable and of fabulous quality. Gift vouchers come in values from $25 to $200, and the website lists flat-rate shipping of $10 across New Zealand, as at 2026.
