Well, I had not been inside of a Bouclair for many, many years. I thought it was all fabric type…read morestuff but it's changed! This was Bouclair Home, very nice things. Some sales, nothing really on clearance. The Xmas items are all out at the front of the store. Within 5 minutes of entering the store I was greeted by at least 3 friendly associates. Nice! Lots of prints, mirrors, bathroom needs... small furniture items, sooo many pillows. It reminded me of a Pier One without the exotic flare. I left empty handed based on what I actually need right now and the prices but I'll return another day and would recommend this store.

I visited JV Studios & Boutique for a couple of reasons: - I…read moreneeded relief from the hot weather and cooled down at this air-conditioned store - It seemed to have items that I like when I peered through the store's window. It did have merchandise that I like. I had just bought a punny card at a different store. This store has a wide assortment that I enjoy. I tend to purchase a greeting card of some sort in my travels. It comes in handy when I need to gift someone a present with a card or when I send one in the mail (what's that?!) to someone. This store had cute trinket holders. There were heart-shaped ones. I liked the strawberry ones. They were perfect for rings, earrings, and maybe my air plant. This store had artisan soap by Whiskey River Soap Co. Had I not purchase a bunch of hand-crafted soap last month, I would have bought some here. It's funny that I held back getting a thing because I had just purchased similar items recently. The drinkware was another good example. I got one with a glass straw a few months ago. I didn't need another one, but the watermelon and strawberry ones appealed to me. This store had a lot of earrings to choose from. I was happy to see a lot of cute, small earrings. I like clean designs. Simplicity is good. You got everything from crescent moons to triangles. This store had so many gift ideas. Even the pottery section made me wonder if I could gift a friend something. I enjoyed browsing at this store. I hope that I'll have the need to buy something for either a friend or me next time I'm here. (249)

We went into Blueprint Home to see what furniture offerings they had available since we just moved…read moreinto a new house and needed to furnish it. We loved that it's a local store and we try to support local in our purchases whenever possible. They have a variety of furniture on the floor as well as decor of all kinds. The team at Blueprint Home was absolutely great! Karrie and Kim were very knowledgeable and helpful when we explained to them what we were looking for. We could tell that they are passionate about what they do and actually care about providing excellent service to their clients. We ended up buying a Lind leather couch and love seat for a good deal. We ordered them in July and we were expecting to receive them at the end of November, but the shipment arrived early November instead. It was a pleasant surprise! The white glove delivery experience was amazing and we're very content with our overall experience with Blueprint Home. We're planning on going back to get more furniture and decor there in the future. We highly recommend them!

I asked to see the manager to discuss this further and upon the manager arriving I got the exact same response. I asked the manager whether I was able to able to exchange the product for another item and if there are able to manually write down the item for which i had a receipt for and was still declined. When the manager noticed my frustration, in-order to get rid of me I was told to please go ahead and make a complaint if i was not happy about the service. Me personally being in the customer service business I definitely though this was highly un-professional and that this situation could have been dealt with better or for CT to have a back-up plan in place.

Who needs to travel when they've got it all right down in Manotick Station?! Kidding. But I do love the concept. Each fall, this family returns from their travels and lays their accumulated goods out in a big barn for us Ottawans -- for a very limited time. I've been coming for five or six years and, while the merch isn't always that different from year to year, I always find stuff to covet and take home. Particularly the beautiful dishes and sweet earrings. I get a big kick out of the international assortment of Christmas decor, too. Flying Santas? Santas with chicken feet? Yes please. This place gets jam-packed, so go early or suffer the crowds. Also, bring cash! There are stands set up outside where you can sit and eat Thai food or bring home cider, apples, and fresh pies (which I've totally passed off as my own in the past. Don't tell.)

With a…read morelovely selection of gift cards, journals, stickers, ribbon and a small but lovely selection of scrapbooking and card making paper/supplies, it's lovely to browse in and almost impossible to walk away from without a purchase. In addition to my 'drug' of choice, they have some fun small gift and decor options. Everything is beautifully displayed. Staff are friendly. This surprise me - but dogs are welcome. (Apparantly most Glebe stores allow dogs... who knew? Love it!) If you are a vistor to Ottawa, it's in an area that's lovely to walk on a sunny day. Would I return? Yes Would I recommend: Yes

I shop in this mall mostly for the grocery store, and I often forget to look up from my grocery list! This Hallmark store reminds me of the old Curiosity Shop that used to be in the Farm Boy Market Square in Kanata, where the other Farm Boy is, and the Bulk Barn and LCBO are also located. This store also sells decorations, and offers seasonal specialties such as Christmas ornaments. TONS of gift ideas in here! Every once in a while I need a gift that is "general", with a card. Something to say "Thank You", "I appreciate it", or "get well soon". I'm entering this review as a place-marker for me, so that I remember to come back here. I will return.

The store manager, Carole, and her employee Sherry have become our friends over the years and they make each visit special.
