Curiosity, Curated.
The Quirk is a curated gift and curiosity shop based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Everything in it has been chosen because it makes you stop and ask, "Where did you get that?" Antiques and curiosities lead the collection, alongside our Gift Kits, left-handed mugs, and notebooks. No mainstream brands, no big-box retail, just genuinely interesting objects, each with a story worth telling. Gift Kits, mugs, and notebooks ship anywhere in South Africa; antiques, curiosities, and stained glass are available at our markets around Johannesburg.
Gift Kits
All 8 kits →Eight Gift Kits, each one carrying Dram's name, one for each of life's big moments: turning fifty, having a first baby, moving house, getting married, and more. Honest, a little funny, and made for real life.
The Missing You Already Dram
A goodbye gift for when 'good luck' doesn't feel like enough. An honest, funny survival kit built for a send-off they'll actually remember.
The 3am Dram
A new baby gift for when another onesie or a bunch of flowers won't get them through the night feeds. A funny survival kit built for what actually happens before and after 3am.
The For Better or Worse Dram
A wedding gift for when another appliance off the registry or a set of wine glasses is the sort of thing no one remembers giving, or getting. An honest, funny survival kit for an everyday partnership, not just the wedding day.
The Big Five-O Dram
A 50th birthday gift for when an 'Over the Hill' banner or a spa voucher feel like everyone else's idea of fifty. A funny survival kit for the parts of turning fifty no one talks about.
