Let's Celebrate 10 Years of Maia!

During our 10th birthday celebrations, we want to do something special and give something back as a big THANK YOU!

We of course want to do something special for our wonderful customers as a thank you for supporting us all these years! If you pop by during our birthday weekend you will have the chance at grabbing a lucky dip discount or winning big in our lucky dip!

We will be donating 10% of all weekend sales to a great charity - Action for Children Scotland. We want to give something to those in need around our home of Glasgow. Help us support them by coming by between the 3rd-6th of October, maybe you can even get a head start on your Christmas shopping! We'll also have other opportunities to help raise funds on the weekend.




A whole decade of Maia! It's wild to think that we've made it so far as a wee indie gift shop in the city centre of Glasgow!

It has definitely been an eventful time! In these past 10 years we have...

...moved from our bold beginnings on Buchanan Street, to our cosy home on Bath Street now...

Maia on Buchanan Street

We have built great lasting relationships with customers, suppliers, business neighbours and staff.

Thank you to everyone who has been around and supported us along this journey! We hope to see you this weekend 😊

Valentine's Day 2019

Valentine's day is coming around the corner again! It feels like Christmas has only just been and gone and here we are again, feeling stumped about what to gift your loved ones! Well, no need to look far, we've cherry picked some of our best Valentine's gift contenders for your consideration. To make things easier, we've put together some popular categories - check out Valentine's day gift ideas 2019 edition below, Maia Gifts style!




Valentine's Glam

Add a wee touch of glitz and glam this Valentine's!
Jewellery is a timeless romantic gift for your wife, girlfriend or partner! We have the ‘Amulet Charm Bracelet’ range with different charm motifs - the heart or infinity charm bracelets would be fitting for Valentines!






We also have this With Love Silver Stacking Bracelet Set in a beautifully presented gift box and soft cushion.












If you're all about traditional romance, we think this Mackintosh Rose Pendant or Long Stem Rosebud Pendant would tick the box! Made from a real flower - and it will last forever!









Maybe sweet and simple style is more up their street. The Shona Shell Heart Necklace has a dreamy heart-shaped shell insert pendant.







If jewellery is your usual go-to and you'd like to find something different, but still classy and stylish, we have some other ideas!






This contemporary Yellow Heart PU Travel Jewellery Box makes a thoughtful present, to store all precious trinkets that have been gifted over the years of courtship and romance!











You may also look to our forever stylish Katie Loxton range of fashion accessories - we think these are great for a Valentine's gift! Suki Bucket Bag In Burgundy , Little Love Secret Message Clutch , Hello Lovely Secret Message Pouch.












Valentine's for the Unromantic

Valentine’s day is for lovers suckers! Even if you're completely loved up - you may think Valentine's is a bit of a sham...and somehow still you can't help getting swept away by the romance in the air!
If this sounds like you and your partner, we have some gifts which say ‘I love you, but let’s not get sentimental about it, cause that’s mushy. But I'm totally, 100%, head over heels in love with you.’
The Scottish saying mugs perfectly capture the cheeky, endearing Weegie humour! We think Wee Weirdo and Done Graftin' are hilarious!
 


If you and your partner share a silly sense of humour, the 50 Shades of Brown Mist, Eggplant Stress Ball and Wash You Nuts Soap might really tickle your fancy! We think these are top contenders for gifts for guys, boyfriends and husbands!




Who really has enough socks when there are these quirky novelty socks - You Rocketh Sock, Thou Art The Bomb Socks! There are so many hilarious styles, you can definitely find one to suit your loved one!






Valentine's is going Green and Vegan!



Your valentine's date may seem prickly on the outside at times, but you know they’re a real softie on the inside! This Leave Me Alone Cactus Mug perfectly captures the essence of this person!













All the same, you know they have endless love for you - and the planet and all its weird and wonderful creatures! The Avocado or Pineapple Plush Toys may be just the treat you're looking for! And why not cuddle together with the Cactus Teapot Set too?








Green is the new black! And being vegetarian or vegan is super hot...according to this hilarious Hot Vegetarian Action Oven Glove! Preparing a homemade Valentine's meal for two lovers will be extra romantic with this Date Night Cookbook in the mix too!



If your partner is a budding eco-warrior too, we recommend checking out our Bamboo Travel Mugs and Happy Avocado Lunchbox - say goodbye to single-use plastic, say hello to love!






Sometimes you think they might love their plant babies more than they love you...this pair of novelty Plant Socks is a perfect gift for this crazy plant-lover!








PALentine's Day

Why does romantic love get all the attention? Let’s celebrate the friendships that see you through thick or thin, no matter what! We have a range of heartfelt sentiments and tongue in cheek gifts to show your fab friends you love them!



Whether you and your pals love a exciting night out or a cosy cuppa at home together, we’ve got you covered. The Sex on the Beach Cocktail Mix can make your next pre-drinks or house party extra fun! And you can fill up the Girls Night Out Hip Flask with your friend’s favourite tipple to keep the party going wherever are!


For your cosy nights in, we have a wide selection of Scottish humour mugs - like the Classy Lassie Mug and Still Got It Hen Mug - or heartfelt coasters such as this beautiful leafy patterned Friends Forever Coaster and Good Friends Porcelain Heart Coaster.





Best friends will share so many good times together, and will also be there to support you through tough days. Let your friends know that you got their back with these small and simple tokens - Friends are Like Angels Wood Tag and Happiness is Time Spent With a Friend Tag.



Show them with a wee minding that you're always there to lift them up! We at Maia suggest these - Love You More Than Irn Bru Tote Bag52 Lists of Happiness BookA Little Best Friend Bracelet and Rooting For You Plant Pot. Galentine's day for the win!
