This HomeSense is a combo store with Winners. I saw both these stores on Sunday on my way to an…read moreeatery for lunch. Coming back, I decided to check out this store. It's in a plaza with parking. It was pretty busy. I ended up parking in front of Sleep Country Canada. I could have used a nap after a huge meal, but I went shopping. I like these combo stores because you can walk between them without any barriers. You don't have to go outside. It's nice, especially when there was light snow happening. I liked the Hello Kitty bedding. I don't have any. Same goes with a Hello Kitty pillow. It was so cute. The drinkware section was cool. There was a discussion between two customers and a HomeSense employee. The customer was looking at all YETI tumblers. They all had missing lids. It was weird. I saw an Umbra penguin liquid soap dispenser. I love Umbra. This dispenser seemed small, but it was cute and functional. It's a huge store. I saw mermaid tails. The linens section looked inviting. The lineup at the checkout was long, but it did move fairly quickly. I ended up grabbing a Keroppi Squishmallows plushie while in line. The price was great and the plushie is adorable. I had the nicest woman at the checkout. I was purchasing a small Kipling crossbody purse. She was squeezing the cheeks of the monkey attached to the purse. She was equally as enamoured as I was. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and all was great. She asked if I needed a bag. I declined. I grabbed my purchases and headed to my car as huge snowflakes were falling. One snowflake went in my right ear. I wonder if that's a good omen. I had a fun experience here. One of these days, I may have Hello Kitty bedding. If I do, you'll know where I got it. (61)

A TRULY HEARTFELT THANK YOU!!! I want to share my sincere…read moreand overwhelming appreciation for the incredible staff at HomeSense in Vaughan Mills. What an amazing group of kind, honest, and genuinely caring people! Yesterday morning, I had a moment of panic when I realized my wallet was missing--the Louis Vuitton wallet my daughters gifted me for a special birthday. Inside were my credit cards, gift cards, and some birthday money I had just withdrawn. Needless to say, I was distraught and retracing my steps as quickly as I could. When I called HomeSense, a lovely lady in Customer Service answered and calmly asked for my name. To my shock and absolute relief, she told me my wallet had been found and kept safely for me! I can't express how emotional I felt--I was overwhelmed with tears and gratitude. On my way back to Vaughan Mills to pick it up, I learned that the HomeSense team had even reached out to my condo building to confirm they had my wallet, just to make sure I got the message. That kind of care and effort is beyond words. In a world where it sometimes feels like there's too much negativity, this experience reminded me how much goodness still exists. The staff at HomeSense Vaughan Mills, including Jessica and everyone who helped, showed the very best of humanity. I'm also deeply thankful to the wonderful customer who turned my wallet in. To all of you at HomeSense--thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your honesty, warmth, and compassion mean more than you'll ever know. This store truly embodies

This one is located in Heartland Centre, which can get pretty hectic, depending on when you go. I went on a Sunday afternoon, which wasn't bad. I got a parking spot fairly close to the store. For a while, I have been looking for a funnel. I have a number of water bottles that have a narrow opening. I like to load hot tea and iced tea in these bottles that keep their temperature for many hours (12 hours for hot and 24 hours for cold beverages). One of the staff there asked me if I needed any help. He found them a few steps away from where I was. I was so close to the funnels! I thanked him for the help. I got three silicone, colourful funnels for $6. If you subscribe to the store's mailing list, you get even more discounts and exclusive offers. I love this store. It's clean and bright. I'd come back just for the helpful staff, including the woman who cashed me out. (142)

The menu at the cafe seemed limited though. What keeps me coming back is the unmatched selection especially towards the higher end of the market. The prices are competitive so that's a bonus. The service has been great so far with my dealings at this store. I usually visit this location to get ideas about those hard to buy for friends. Some brands worth mentioning are Alessi, Hermes, Versace by Rosenthal, Christophle etc. They have the most extensive selection for these brands I have encountered. If you like housewares this store is a must visit IMO. 4.5 stars.
