Smart Stuff for Smart Kids

Established in 2014, SmartyPants is owned and managed by Sarah – a Kiwi mum to two beautiful children, who inspired her to create a local boutique focusing on smart stuff for smart kids.

The SmartyPants philosophy is guided by quality, mindfulness, affordability and – most importantly – fun! We’re proud to offer New Zealand’s best range of mindful and engaging gifts, toys and activities – designed by leading brands to delight, inspire curiosity and encourage creativity in kids of all ages.

Birthday Gifting Options Galore

Every parent knows the struggle of finding engaging yet affordable gifts for kids when their little ones have a birthday party to attend every other weekend!

We know the cost of frequent birthday gifting for classmates can mount up, so SmartyPants makes shopping for kids’ gifts simple, with a HUGE range of toys, books and activities to choose from in the $10 – $30 price range. Our in-store team is more than happy to help you select the perfect gift, based on gender, age and interest, to make life easier!

FREE Personal Shopping Assistance

Our gifts, books and toys may be geared toward little Kiwis, but SmartyPants is BIG on customer service. Our friendly and personal approach has made us the go-to store for people looking for great customer care – particularly for grandparents, aunts and uncles who may not quite know what they're looking for. We offer personal shopping assistance in-store to help you find the right gift at the right price. If you’re looking for recommendations while shopping online, don’t hesitate to flick us an email or touch base with us via Facebook Messenger so we can help you!

Tons of Fun in Store

Shopping at SmartyPants is tons of fun. Not only does our team test-drive lot of the games on offer – all in the name of research, of course! – we’re also fond of playing games in the shop with our customers so they get to see how cool they are! Shopping in-store with little ones? Our Christchurch boutique offers a large contained play area to keep them entertained while you browse.
