Some dishware sets, teapots... What did piqued my eye are these measuring spoons in the shape of a heart, a set for $28, and you bet it's stainless steel, so a nice fun secondary gift to get in time for Valentine's ;), and especially for a great cook. Friendly service, offered a few suggestions.

The selection of vintage and vintage-inspired goods is wide-ranging, from tea cup candles, to metal furniture, to quaint decor like phrenology hands and puppy dog tail hooks. It's always a pleasure to pass by to see whether they have anything new in store! They also have a website in which you can browse through their collection and later ring them to hold for you (as they understandably don't hold everything in-store). And the other useful services they offer are upcycling your used furniture and a finding service in which you can submit photographs of what you're looking for and have the store help you in your search. Very nifty! Overall, L'Atelier offers extensive services and a remarkable array of home decor, and the people have never failed to provide excellent hospitality. This is definitely one of my favourite shops in the area for all these reasons!

While sauntering along Main Street this weekend I came upon this little gem. Nineteen Ten is a…read moreboutique filled with many unique and interesting items for the home. These include, but are not limited to, cards, rugs, workshop cage lights, wooden stools, cardboard house kits, prints and cushions from local designers, welcome signs, and various other useful and beautiful items. So the next time I am desperate for a gift for the person that has almost everything I think I will head back here. Plus they carry a small assortment of Christmas ornaments (my kryptonite) that I can ogle.

The lights are definitely the main focus, right now anyhow, and they are gorgeously unique, not over the top expensive. The service is quietly friendly and thoughtful. My favourite item was a bird smoke alarm in a wooden frame that would look great on any book or kitchen shelf for 80 dollars. It is definitely a welcome addition to the reiley park area with its gaudy antique shops and stupid expensive "Scandinavian" one (you want how much for that uncomfortable old chair?). They are currently having 10% off first purchase sale, so hurry on over! (13 of 30))

And that's why I was surprised to find a quasi-furnishings store I actually liked. Granted, Provide in Crosstown carries more than just fixtures and accessories for your abode. Among the designer espresso makers are some pretty fashionable clothing items, which, for me, broke up the monotony of the selection of housewares (lamps, vases, tables, cushions, etc.). Someone must have had people like me in mind when they came up with the concept for this store. On to the fashion! I found some beautiful (although pretty high-end) tees by designer James Perse as well as some local style, like Vancouver's own Shereen De Rousseau's gorgeous cross-platform jewellery.

The general vibe of the store is very bright and open but still warm and cozy. Soft, luxe James Perse casual wear for the ladies and the gentleman inn your life will be welcome with very open arms as a gift for someone else or yourself. Unique pillows and throws will have you wrapping yourself up on the couch and hibernating next to your decadently scented boutique candle from Europe and a cup of Nespresso from that handy little machine that spits out espresso exactly how and when you want. The aforementioned scene is courtesy of Provide and there is more where that came from. Royal Doulton tableware, Niche Modern lighting, Dwell and Publique Living decor items from gorgeous picture frames done in stone to massive and stunning ceramic bowls, you are sure to be entranced by some very fab finds at Provide.

I love to shop local and seeing so many Canadian products that the store promotes is refreshing to say the least. Having a small business in this day and age is extremely hard and I applaud this store for it's longevity in the village, they have been there since as long as I can remember. Obviously the owner has an amazing talent for choosing very unique items and I have purchased many gifts but usually also walk out with some beautiful clothing or jewelry for myself as well lol ... also always enjoy the friendly staff who have on many occasions steered me in the right direction and then to top it off, gift wrapped my selection too!

Wish On A Star fits in perfectly with the life of the village. Lots of great gifts for any occasion. Pet, guys, wedding, baby, bath, body and of course furnishings adorn this store. The best part is that all of the gifts are wrapped with lovely scented potpourri, tissue and ribbons. If you buy a gift from here, it will likely be the one on the gift table that's admired while the recipient carefully opens and saves the wrapping to use again. And if that wasn't enough, there's two love birds that live in a cage, chirping away while you admire all of the lovelies.
