About Us

Whimsical, colourful and playful.

Our little toy store has been created to bring joy, whimsy and a bit of magic to families across Aotearoa.

We have collected all of our favourite toys in one place - some especially made for us by local makers, some nostalgic classics that have stood the test of time, a great selection of art and craft supplies, and so much more. We really think what sets us apart is the small boutique feel of our store, a place where you can physically see, touch and play with all the products in person.

We are thrilled to produce a bunch of great toys ourselves, in our little studio rooms just behind the store. Making toys for family and friends has been the seed that started Gala and its one of the best parts of having this little store - being able to make anything that we think you’d like and sharing it with you.

Our sister brand Hydrangea Ranger sits so sweetly in the store. Bella has become known for such beautiful and special gifts, stationary and jewellery, after so many years of wholesale and website sales, its really very special to have our own store to put Hydrangea Ranger into too.

Where we can, we buy locally, from small businesses and creatives. We also select a small range of more commercially made toys - careful to choose from companies that still align with our values and produce truly lovely, high quality toys, gifts and craft supplies.

Whether you visit us online at www.galastore.co.nz or stop by our lovely store in Grey Lynn, you’ll experience the warmth and attention to detail that define Gala.

No batteries required.
