Yesterday, I dropped by Shoppers Drug Mart at Oakville Place to get a few essentials. Across from…read moreit was this Claire's store. After shopping around the mall for a bit, I checked this store out. I always know that stopping by any Claire's is deadly. It has Squishmallows, Pusheen, and Grogu items that suck me in. I finally found a Grogu bucket hat that is made for adults with huge skulls. It also has ears, which I love. I immediately got it over a Grogu headband that I would have probably snapped over time. The Squishmallows at this store are great. I ended up getting a smaller version of Danny the dinosaur. What's special about this plushie is that he sports the cutest bowtie. I loved the Pusheen items at this store. Luckily, I had willpower from everything from lip balm to pens. The earrings are cute here. You can get bubble tea, rubber duckies, s'mores, and more. Ear piercing services are available. I had the nicest woman cash me out. I liked that she didn't bug me or the other two shoppers in the store. She let us browse. I paid with a debit card. All was great. She gave me a coupon for $10 off my next purchase. Sweet and deadly! She placed my items in a paper bag. I appreciated the bag that was free. I also placed my Shoppers Drug Mart items in it. It's a great store. It's located near entrance 1, which is next to LL Bean. When I'm back in the area, I'll definitely return to shop here. (378)

I can see store like Write Impressions disappearing slowly and it is just a shame…read more In this modern digital age, people are sending emails, messages and texting their love ones. It is even not as often that we write each other a letter or a love note? Write Impressions does carry all the cards, stationary and paper needs if you do decide to send your admirers a note or to your love ones to show them your appreciation. Or you want to start keeping a Journal for a special period of your life? I found it so much personal to write that down with my own handwriting than just typing it in the computer. Write Impressions is a great store for shopping for gifts for yourself and that special someone..... And thinking of that, I need a journal for my YELP adventure!

I really wanted to stock up on some scrapbooking supplies and wanted to see them in person. So bad…read morenews squad, it seems like summer is over because all the fall, Thanksgiving, and Halloween stuff is available at Michael's! They had fake decorative pumpkins and hay in the front as buy one get one free deals. I think the hay might have been real as there was some condensation in the bag. They had more BOGO deals inside with seasonal door mats as well. I really liked that they had a variety of Halloween subthemes. There was spookier stuff (not as spooky as like gaunt skeletal remains) and then there was the pastel colours of a cutesy Halloween. Finding things isn't hard at Michael's since the aisles are really well labelled. I was able to find really pretty card stock in foil and textured paper. They also had a lot of cutouts if there's a theme you're going for. Michael's also has a great 3D sticker collection. They have ones for a ton of cities and countries which is great for documenting your vacation! They only had one checkout lane open. Once a line started forming, another employee opened another POS to help us out. I was asked if I have a Michael's account. They can look you up by phone or email. The membership gets you some deals and a birthday offer.

I ordered online. I was home all day and got an e-mail indicating package was delivered, but there…read morewas no delivery. That happens, as perhaps the package was delivery to the wrong house. However, called customer service and waited for way too long before giving up. Tried online service and was told it would be over an hour and wait. I used the online ordering to save time - totally useless customer service. next time I will just use Amazon.

I have been here many times in the past year. The store is divided into 3 sections/areas (arts and…read morecrafts, equipment (like drawing tools, different kinds of paper and paint) and framing). The people working there are very nice. It's appearance on the inside can give a little bit of sensory overload (in terms of the colors in different areas in the store). However, they carry varying amounts of supplies so you might have to go online to buy them if items are not available in store. BTW 1) They have a point card where you could get 10% off each time you purchase something and collect the amount you paid (ex. Pay $15 = 15 points). 2) When you are shopping online, you will get free shipping if you buy things that add up to $39 or more.

My absolute favourite art supplies store of all time. First of all, the staff are amazing. They've…read morebeen consistently helpful and friendly since I started going there in 2002. Obviously a change in staff, but the manager has been around for a long time and a couple staff members had stayed and have been amazing and funny! Seriously, I used to just hang out here as a kid because it's an art store, I'm an artist and the staff is great. It's a very clean store. They always have what I need and things I didn't know I needed. The prices are far superior to Michael's and better than Curry's. Plus the discounts are great and the rewards program is solid too. Oh and did I mention it's animal friendly? I can take my dog for walks in Petsmart and Deserres, Oh and also the customer bathroom is pretty cool. And free bags, who needs to pay a nickel for a bag? All in all, it's a great store. One of my favourite hangout spots, I can test my markers and pencils and all that and talk to awesome staff.

Located inside a cute heritage home, Cork House is a niche store deep inside a newly developed area…read moreof Oakville. This retail space inside of a home, tucked behind a new strip mall focuses on, what else but cork! Think: Coasters, wine bags, fabric (who knew?), clothing, shoes & purses like you'd see in Portugal, & flooring. The primary reason why anyone would visit, I'd think, is to check out the cork flooring. That's why I was there! Salesman was very friendly and informative about his product. He even let me sign out a sample piece of 1' X 3' slate of flooring. I haven't priced out their competition, re: hardwood or even laminate, but the piece I got was $5.15sq'. I'm undecided, but I'd highly recommend checking this place out if you're even thinking about installing cork flooring! You'll be surprised by the results which are actually installed all around the house itself.
