Not your ordinary gift shop
Is to create a unique space which reflects our values of integrity, honesty and sustainability. A space which offers all a welcoming and warm shopping experience, and they leave with a memory of being valued.
We believe it takes a village to raise a child. We feel the same goes for our business. Thieving Kea’s village has many amazing humans, who had great influence on its creation.
Over many coffees, beers/wines and walks this village co-lab developed & implemented the interior design, product choices, and overall vibe & flow of the shop.
Our vision
Our name
Comes from the world’s only mountain parrot, who has made many a human laugh,
cross and challenged with their “thieving” ways. To honour this endangered New Zealand bird,
2% of our annual profit, from brand partners, will be donated to the Kea Conservation Trust.
Thieving Kea was hatched from a timely opportunity presented to our family.A family who dearly loves to laugh, have outdoor adventures and hang with like-minded folks
You’ll find us on the Wanaka Lake front, we’d love to get to you know you.
“My go to gift shop in Wanaka! A great range of products at great price points and always appreciate the help of the ladies in-store, highly recommend”
