Overview
Owner Nadine designs and handmakes the sterling silver meditation rings that anchor Soul of a Gypsy, and she has built the rest of the boutique around the same intention.
The result is a Sooke gift shop with a strong New Age and metaphysical lean, where the inventory has been curated piece by piece rather than ordered from a souvenir wholesaler.
Crystals, candles, home decor, mindful gifts, and the full Fusion Mineral Paint colour range have all been chosen with the same care as the jewellery, which is why repeat visitors describe the shop more like a treasure stop than a tourist one.
The shop space itself reflects the same intention Nadine brings to the jewellery. Instead of standard retail shelving, Nadine displays the inventory across refurbished cabinets, antique tables and vintage display cases she has personally chosen. The gift shop is bright and easy to browse, but every section feels arranged rather than stocked. You notice it as soon as you walk in.
The product range covers more ground than visitors expect. Sterling silver meditation rings and malas are the signature, with a strong selection of gemstone bracelets, loose crystals, tarot decks, sage, candles, soaps, home decor and gifts. The shop is also a Fusion Mineral Paint retailer, with the full colour range on display, which makes it a known stop for furniture refinishers across the South Island. The handmade jewellery range is also available online at mygypsysoul.com if you cannot visit in person.
Soul of a Gypsy works especially well for women browsing for themselves or for a meaningful gift, and for anyone drawn to spiritual, wellness or mindful items. It pairs naturally with a wider Sooke shopping loop, since the location next to Village Foods makes it easy to combine with a stop for groceries or a coffee before heading further along the coast.

It is great for women shopping for themselves, anyone looking for a meaningful gift, and furniture refinishers wanting to see the full Fusion Mineral Paint range in person. The space is welcoming and easy to browse, whether you have a specific item in mind or you just want to look around.
