Maia was founded because we love to make people feel special. We understand the importance of giving gifts that are received with excitement and create special memories. We therefore made it our mission to hunt out all the cool, fun and unusual gifts to offer in one lovely website! We hope you will enjoy the product selection we've put together.
It is hand-selected with a lot of love and care to give the shopper a wide and unique range to choose from. Only the good stuff makes it in and we don't select our products on the strength of a brand. We believe that things should be special in their own right not just because they carry a certain label.

MAIA gifts is really a gem worth looking for and finding.
It took few minutes to find the place online while I was surfing the Internet for a gift shop. The staff are just loving, kind and humble. This place touches you even without your presence (I made an online purchase).
For all your events, look no further than MAIA gifts in Glasgow and you definitely will not regret it. I know I haven't 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽! They have that special toppings, the minute gift that makes the difference.
Thank you staff of MAIA gifts for you patience and kind support always. Cheers!

Proper little gift shop in Glasgow centre, not far from Sauchiehall street. No cheap plastic tacky tartan or overly loud bagpipe music here. Nice selection of tasteful, small gifts with a Scottish twist to them. Pleasant staff and always a warm welcome, not too many shops like this nearby, so a good place to visit

This is a fantastic little shop!
I'd never been in before, but went in a few days for Christmas to look at the lovely things. What a great shop to browse in - perfect for presents or treats for yourself.
They have some beautiful household items - little decorative touches, as well as mugs, bath things, candles, and plenty of cards.
Despite it being crazily busy, there was a nice atmosphere in the shop, as people gently shuffled past each other wrapped up in their own wee world of lovely things, and the chap at the till was really pleasant and chatty.
This will be my first stop next time

Deep breathes, Nicola, deep breathes...
If like me you're inclined towards all things super cute, then you're going to have a hard time leaving Maia empty handed. In fact, you're going to want to buy one of everything, because Maia is a wonderland of kitsch and quirk. It's just so inviting and cosey with an abundance of cheery and bright stock that it's near impossible to leave without a smile on your face.
Owing to their great variety of stock, Maia makes for the perfect spot to browse for a gift, or even something special to treat yo' self when you need a little

A lovely gift shop with lots of quirky products.
You can normally find something for most people. I used them for lots of stocking fillers and for unusual cards.
They stock everything from stationary to quirky bags to mugs and hip flasks. It is one of those shops you will go in and find something you never thought existed.
I loved the original store on Buchanan Street and this one is great too. Its only downside if the location.
Hidden a little out of the way in a basement premises on Bath Street means it is missed by many potential visitors.

Like a wee independent biz oasis in the big ol nasty chain nonsense that is Glasgow city centre, this wee place is a life saver for those who abhor the insanity that is x mas shopping.
I popped in here a few days afore Christmas (I know, my own fault!) to pick up some wee stocking stuffers for the Mrs and left with my sanity very much in tact. Win.
Add to the chilled out vibe a selection of cool wee trinkets that feel pretty reasonably priced, and the fact that it's located next to Good Spirits Co (pop in for a sample? Why the hell not!), then you have an awesome wee shop.

Where did this come from? Seems while I was away tons of little shops started cropping up all over.
I met a friend here, and at first, had NO IDEA where she was talking about.
Boy, am I glad she took me there!
I was in coffee/cupcake/gift heaven. I could easily roll out a sleeping bag and stay there forever.
The staff are very friendly, and not in that coffeehouse-condescending way. When they say, 'It's no bother' they mean it.
I spent ages walking around and looking at everything in the shop. Everything I found was something I could see myself having, and now that I&apos

Maia is yet another example of what I call the "cutesy kitsch" genre that is currently cropping up around Glasgow. You know what I mean; sparkly cupcakes, vintage doilies, greetings cards which say "I love you more than rainbows". It's location at the top of Buchanan Street is odd; an area more associated with polluted subways and grimy boozers rather than twee boutiques you would be more likely to see in Byres Road.
Divided into a shop on the lower section and a cafe on the mezzanine, I popped into Maia to use the latter when the hunger pangs struck me one lunchtime

This lovely little shop is a quirky mix of a cafe and coffee shop, with a scoopalicious ice cream parlour and a little boutique section selling gifts, books and lovely things.
I was drawn in here today on this icy January day, by the sign advertising hot coffee to takeaway for only £1.50. I was welcomed in by the friendly girl behind the counter, who offered me a tasty sample of rocky road as I browsed the menu on the wall. I decided on an Irish cream flavoured latte to takeaway, as I had a little look around the beautiful boutique. I particularly liked their retro kitsch telephones that are

I'm beginning to think that I walk up and down Buchanan Street with my eyes shut! Although I didn't notice it at first, this little gem faces the Buchanan Galleries, and is right beside the Buchanan Street subway station entrance.
It's kind of like a cute coffee shop, combined with an ice cream parlour, combined with the card and gift shop Papyrus. At first glance it looks quite expensive, but it's not as dear as I had suspected. Like Papyrus, they have loads of lovely wee trinkets, books, and jewellery items that make great gifts. The kind of thing you wouldn't necessarily
