Gifts in Christchurch

“The team here support the local LEGO group, if you're after LEGO, look no further. On multiple occasions I have contacted them to express interest in yet to be released sets. They have taken down my contact details, set the item aside when stock came in, then called me back to let me know it's ready. Kudos to whatever system to they're using to keep track of these requests, as sometimes the products haven't reached NZ until months after my initial contact. To top it all off they even ensure you get your desired minifig in the blind bags. The prices can be a little higher than the likes of Kmart or The Warehouse, but it's worth it.”

“Hannah was exceptional, she was super friendly and helpful! Kids loved her, we will definitely be back :)”

“What an outstanding morning, watching early rugby, breakfast and great coffee. Great start to the day. Jasmine was outstanding with her service. Very attentive and nothing was a problem. Always a great team. Look forward to the next game.”

“Best home made pasta (carbonara) I have ever had. Great service, with nice soft Italian music playing. Nice service and atmosphere. We will definitely be back.”

“Had a great meal here. Efficient, friendly staff. Generous portions. I had enough to ask for a take away container.”

“This is a great place the staff are very helpful. I would definitely recommend shopping here”

“We had a lovely lunch at Winnie Bagoes with my work crew yesterday. It was a beautiful day, so we sat outside ... perfect spot to enjoy the sun and people watch. Service was excellent from the moment we arrived. Our server quickly put the umbrella up, took our drink orders, and was back in no time with them. He handled all our pizza questions like a pro — friendly, clear, and efficient. The pizzas were delicious (as always), and everything came out promptly. A relaxed, sunny lunch with great service and great food. Would definitely recommend for a casual group lunch in town.”

“Young lady working on her own very helpful and friendly.. she was busy doing everything. Including restocking , helping customers, checkout, and running to rear of store to get pick ups. Prices competitive. All good”

“Good in store help and advice. Right balance of being there at the right time and not being too much. Styles all pretty good and the new chinos and cashmere knit are my new favourite things neither of which I would have associated with 3 Wise Men being any good at. Shirts good as usual but some of the tailored fit shirts are still a tad boxy. 10/10 would shop again.”

“Bought muffins, pastries, some drinks, as well as boxes of muffins as well and I find that the service is always warm and prompt! I love Muffin Break as no other store does the muffins like they do. Tan Slice is my favourite and I seem to only get that from this store.”

“Sam was very knowledgeable and not only helped me find everything I needed but also gave me recommendations for my cocktail night. Lots of love ”

“My favorite is the Gourmet Classic Italian with thin crust. Great to have a pizza place in Woodend. Great prices too for freshly made pizza.”

“Well stocked with Filipino products.”

“The staff at this store are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes a difference—I genuinely love coming here because of how great they are.”

“Coeliac super friendly! Been great with being coeliac and in the early days would phone and confirm my choices. Always consistent and hardly ever had an issue. Feel safe eating here and that in itself is worth 5 stars.”

“My third time here and I’m always surprised in a good way! The food is very tasty and well made, and they even give you a starter with soup and tea. I really recommend it! The service is always great too.”

“Best view of the beach, eggs Bennie arrived with hard boiled poached eggs however waitress was quick to sort & replace with runny ones. Friendly service.”

“Great place, atmosphere, staff, drink and food. We have been here many times and intend to continue doing so. Ask about the loyalty card as its great value. Thanks team and we look forward to seeing you again tonight for quiz night!”

“For those of us who come to the Bottle Store looking for $3 Strong beers I cant recommend anything better than, Hite - Extra Strong Beer, something I've only seen stocked here. Less offensively 'clear spirit' tasting than Royal Dutch, not as sweet as 8.6, a little more flavorful than Haagen and far less bitter than Carlsberg. After the Kingfisher price hike this is my go to. A perfect middle of the road Strong Beer in terms of taste and price.”

“This is as good as it gets. Really good Chinese food. Authentic Chinese and kiwi favourites as well. Nice, friendly service. Bathroom has had a major, much needed upgrade. In fact the whole place has been upgraded. We will definitely be back. From the way that the other customers (four different groups, two Chinese, two kiwi) related to the staff, you could tell that they weren't there their first time. It's a good sign when customers come back. We had the curry chicken, cha shao pork (much bigger dish than in the menu photo), Fu Yong egg (omelette thingy) and stir fried veggies. All delicious.”

“My favourite Indian restaurant in Christchurch. Good food and good prices. They’re sometimes slow to bring out drinks, may depend on the server. But overall I love this place.”

“The staff were very pleasant, polite and smiling. The food was delicious with generous proportions. I had the prawns and others had pork and the Dynamite Chicken. Prawns were presented nicely and had tails on, and stir fried, medium spicy was not very hot. I don't like deep fried food, but others who had the Dynamite Chicken enjoyed it. They said medium spice was not hot either.”

“A shout out to Jude in furnishings. Absolutely brilliant service. I was trying to match a duvet cover to pillow cases, trying different colours. Jude went out of her way to make sure I went home satisfied with my selection. I really valued her input. Once again thanks Jude for your time on Sunday, my guest bedroom looks fantastic. We are incredibly lucky to have such a great team at Farmers Rangiora”

“Speights went out of their way to make a triple birthday dinner super special for my sons. They allowed us to go in earlier and set up decorations and put the 3 cakes in the chiller. They supplied little plates and napkins for them to be served on after dinner Although there was close to 30 people eating the waitress had it all under control and the meals came to the table quickly and all the meals were delicious, with generous sizes.”

“Everything you need for your home and plenty of other stuff you never knew you needed from bedding to kitchenware , laundry and so on. Reasonable prices and even better of you can get it during one of frequent sales. Well stocked with wide range of items from lower to higher quality and prices, something for everyone’s budget. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff treating everyone with smile and kindness.”

“I just wanted a bottle of wine.”

“Great service will help you carry too much liqour to your car. They may not have some hot stuff because it sold out”

“Came into dinner for our mums 60th, and the food was immaculate. Fresh, hot, big plates, very flavoursome, good amount of veggies, well presented. Service was great and people in the kitchen are very nice. Support local guys, you won’t be disappointed!!”

“I eat here at least once a week. I’m a real big supporter of Thai food and I must say the food is absolutely delicious, it’s well priced and the customer service is absolutely first class.”

“healthy and yummy food with decent price, 4 days in town every day came for lunch or dinner, especially kids love it.”
