You can find a lot of things in here from gardening and kids stuff, ribbons and wrapping paper, binders and pens and a lot more. It is one of the places that sells things that don't look like they can fall apart easily and they have some of the things that you can't find in other dollar stores such as pots and trellis for gardening. It is metered parking on the side street and prices are upwards from $1 to $20, but the items are nicer. They don't have as much food items as other dollar stores, but they have quite a selection on the themes that they do have.

Rude, tough-looking sales guy with an attitude: THE perfect ingredient for WORST customer service…read moreever! Seriously how did that guy end up here? He should work in the army, not in sales. I've been loving that store and shopping there for almost 10 years, but I'm sorry to say I can't set foot in there again. I'm trying to support small business as much as I can, but it makes me feel sick to give my money to such an obnoxious person. Good news is there are plenty of other stores in town that carry cute cards and quirky gifts. And for framing services, there is Fast Frame, a couple blocks up the street: will answer all your needs with a smile and uber friendly service.

This is my new favorite store in Vancouver. I know, I know,…read moreit's not a new store. It's been around a long time. But it's new to me - and I FREAKIN' LOVE IT. I was wandering around Gastown the other day - I'm not often in the area, - and I stumbled upon this fabulous gift and card shop. It's small but wow, it packs a punch. I'm a sucker for stationery stores. I love greeting cards - the wittier, the more twisted, the better. I love funky household gift items (mostly for myself, truth be known!). I love fun tchotchkes that I can collect through the year and then put in my adult kids' Christmas stockings or give to them, out of the blue, to cheer them up. I love fun socks, clever games, colorful jigsaw puzzles, gorgeous wrapping papers and gift bags, Vancouver ornaments and Prosser art canvases. In other words, I love everything this store sells. They have a box that says "FREE" on it and it contains various items - all free. I got a small structured mylar-esque lunchbox that zippers up and has cute graphics of bike riders all over it. Totally new, with tags! I put all my purchases in it and carried it home, planning to give it to a friend who's a big bike enthusiast. SO nice. Another bonus is how incredibly nice the folks are who work here. As soon as I entered this place, I could see it was my kind of store, so I told the guy behind the counter that I love this store and I am going to be here a while (lol). He and I laughed and chatted and I browsed the store for a long, long time, getting a bunch of fun things along the way, chuckling at the funny (and some risqué) cards, admiring all the framing work they do (oh yeah, I should mention that they're essentially a framing shop!), and just loving everything about this fun shop.

It's definitely much smaller than most other similar stores, but they have the essentials, and they also do helium balloons, including the big metallic letters/numbers. I don't shop here often, aside from the aforementioned balloons, which I got for my wife's birthday, and they dutifully wrote my name down along with the day I'd need to pick them up. Other purchases have included random stuff like pop, batteries, etc. The reason I'm giving them five stars is because the older Korean couple running the store are some of the sweetest people you could ever hope to meet. They're so nice, I want to buy stuff I don't need just to give them business. Always friendly and helpful, and they apologized to ME because I tried to use my card to pay for something that was only a couple dollars but store policy is $3 and over. I gladly grabbed an LED flashlight and a Coke Zero to make it up. This shop is the definition of friendly mom and pop store.

I would not say I was typically a "dollar store" fan. I don't hate them, at least not all of them,…read moreI just don't tend to shop there. I just did not have much to do on Super Bowl Sunday because I don't watch football. I was walking around Vancouver and I thought I would go in and look around. I thought it was pretty decent for a dollar store , although it was a little bit small. The "dollar store" doesn't seem to be a literal thing anymore, as a lot of items were over a dollar. However, they had some more useful stuff than I usually see at a store like this one. They had some useful office supplies, Pyrex pie plates, and "acceptable", though probably not long lasting, looking cookware. I actually bought a couple small things there that I had been meaning to pick up at the hardware store. The most expensive thing I saw was a drying rack for $28. This seemed like a pleasant store to me and, bonus, it doesn't have the overwhelming smell of plastic. I am still thinking I need that glass pie plate. The area does not seem "touristy", but this store did have a selection of postcards and very small gifts (magnets, patches, pencils, postcards).
