The Pirate Chest

The Pirate Chest in Mountain Gate Shopping Centre is a treasure trove of all sorts of beautiful gifts for others or yourself. It stocks a large variety of items including handbags, French provincial furniture, jewellery, moneyboxes and candles. My favourite item was a really happy looking pig moneybox. It had a gorgeous funky patterned design painted on it and was only $ 29.99. A bargain.
Owned and run by a husband and wife team, the atmosphere in the shop is really friendly and the service is fabulous. No matter how trivial your query they will take time to make sure that you leave with absolutely everything you need, without being pushy.
Some of the bags and accessories in here were a little tacky for my taste but they were cheap and would do well for Kris Kringle presents. The store was laid out well and was very clean. I enjoyed my shopping experience in there as it had a lot of items I hadn’t seen anywhere else. Originality is always a good thing.
For a slightly nicer gift, the Pirate Chest offers an abundance of options — check them out if your passing by.
