This adorable little gift shop is located towards the Bay Street end of Botany Shops. The lady who runs it sneaks off to exotic places all over the world and brings back a variety of unique home wares, gifts, trinkets, ornaments, candles, jewelery, frames, sculptures, sea shells, salt lamps, paintings, blankets, antique-looking and vintage-vibed with an "I can't put my finger on it" peregrine flavour, you can get lost in this tiny shop for ages! I often buy really beautiful scented incense from here, and I've bought many gifts for Christmas and birthdays from this place too. From things like sequin birds that you can pin onto your pot plants, to tiny little bird cages, beautifully crafted and designed plates, glassware and gift ware and necklaces, earrings, key rings, and then random things like a brass anchor shaped jacket hanger, a huge silver soccer ball, wooden giraffes, clocks and boxes and almost everything you'd never imagine too.
If there's anything they don't have, and you can think of it, they will find it somewhere in the world and order it for you!
Another lovely, local, family run business. The lady who owns this shop works there herself, everyday behind the counter, and you can tell she knows almost everyone in the area, because every time someone walks into her shop she speaks to them like she's known them for years. She speaks to me like that too now, as she has a great loyalty card system, where the more you spend, the more gift vouchers you receive that you can redeem next time you come in! As if you needed ANOTHER reason to go back ;) read more
