This gift store however is well distributed, with a nice bathroom items, frames, hooks, very mod flower vases, jewellery, Xmas ornaments, and lastly gag gifts. There is a nice assortment of ice cube trays from cold fish to frozen smiles. There are cool jazz swizzle sticks and there doesn't seem to be a lack of items made by Umbra. The most amusing area of the store however is the books that are for sale. With titles like "I Don't Give a Frock", "How can you tell your boyfriend isn't the anti-Christ"," How to be an everyday philanthropist", and "When housewives go bad". This again is an ideal gift store for that person that has everything, or if you don't really know the person you are shopping for, in all likelihood you won't go wrong by purchasing something here at Twisted Goods.

My son just moved to Calgary to a place near the Macleod Sleep Country store. I called them from…read moreToronto to see if they had a particular mattress in stock, and to find out if they would allow me to pay for it over the phone with my credit card if my son came in there and liked it. They agreed to do that, and not only that but when I explained that my son didn't have a car, they offered to drive him home with his new mattress that night so he wouldn't have to sleep on the floor! I could not have asked for better customer service!

This shop is a wonderful gem…read more Staff is very accommodating, polite, resourceful. Prices are wonderfully priced. Remember, you're paying for the custom floral arrangements and top quality flowers. They also carry all sorts of nice decorative items, definitely worth checking out the selections.

A Scrap Booker's Paradise!…read more I'm not a scrap book wizard by any means... but I know a one when I see one and I know the best place in Caglary to get your fix of scrap book goodies. I'm the guy with a bunch of photo albums in boxes under the stairs. I also (most of the time) custom make my greeting cards... I came here to see if I could come up with some ideas for my kids and I to do in the days ahead (they're 2 & 4 right now) The staff here are fantastic and attentive. I was a little overwhelmed the first time I went in the store (with my two little ones) but the staff took great care of us - they even had a game for my kids to play while I looked around. There's something for everyone in this store - seriously. I was amazed. Colours, textures, themes, etc... They also run workshops (haven't attended one yet but just may consider it as mother's day isn't far away). You can tell the staff really enjoy working here by the way they treat you... it was really appreciated. Lots of choices and a sure fire way to look like a hero if you were to sneak away a few nights to complete a project for that special someone. Whether you're pro and do-it-yourselfer or someone like me who would need some one-on-one guidance, this place is for you. Lots of free parking, great prices, and creativity oozing out of every nook and corner. Enjoy the experience! PS: I don't charge extra for typo's - they're just my gift to you ;-)

It's quite out of town so when going you have to incorporate that into you time and make it a full day. We arrived and automatically went into the cabin where we would be doing our art. Our tour guide was Emma and she gave each of the students a notebook to keep and take home which they loved. She asked them to look around the room but they had to stay seated and draw an object or thing they could see from their seats. Then after they did it once they had to flip to the next page and find another object in the room and draw it and she gave them a time limit the first time of 5 minutes and only 3 minutes the second time to show how it gets harder. Some students were asking for erasers and she explained that they don't have erasers because they believe that artists don't make mistakes. Then they students started their clay projects making a landscape and they had lots of fun doing this. Then we had lunch in that same room after students cleaned up and then they had play time outside in the snow which the leader explained the boundaries they had to stay in and that all nature things including snow stay on the ground. Then we did a nature walk and then the students got to go through the Leighton house which they really enjoyed especially the room with the parrot and all the trees! Thank you Leighton Art Centre !

I used google maps to get me to the Leighton Art Centre. The drive there is beautiful. Lush rolling green hills and beautiful forests. I swear I was transported to an English countryside! If you like scenery, a summer drive in this area is highly recommended. Our art lesson was held in an original little school house, now an historical landmark, built in the 1950s. After our art lesson (which I determined I do not have a talent for lol) our instructor led us on a short nature walk up to the the Leighton House Museum. A beautiful home originally designed by Alfred Crocker Leighton that features much of the home's original furniture and the Leighton's personal belongings. The home also showcases AC Leighton's original artwork as well is now home to many local artists' work where they are displayed and for sale. The house is beautifully situated over looking a breathtaking view. The Leightons were dedicated to art and the art community, and I can see why artists come there to paint, there is so much inspiration all around you. Definitely worth the drive out there for the views alone, but the museum and learning a little bit of local history is a nice bonus too.

Buying our mattress here was one of the best decisions we have ever made. I was a little sceptical…read moreabout going here at first just because they aren't a huge name like The Brick or Sleep Country, but I was wrong. Warren, our sales person, was so educated on every single mattress they had in there and made some really great suggestions for what we were looking for. He gave us a 'beducation', which honestly was really interesting and helped us make a better choice. Besides the awesome prices and great value, so far I have no complaints. All the mattresses come with a warranty as well if that helps settle any concerns that you may have. It also helps that you don't feel pressured to make a purchase like you do at The Brick or anywhere else! I would highly recommend that you check this place out if you're looking for a new mattress.
