With the major product lines, they have co-ordinating items including Bath & Shower Gel, Body Lotion, Spray etc. More often then not, they are on promotion. Buy ...& Get ... Free. Same with the soap - if you purchase just one it's almost 9$ including tax. However they just did a quick promo that had the soaps only 3.25 each. Be sure to get on the mailing list, as this is where you will find out about sales, promotions and the occasional Coupon (mainly via Facebook ) There is never any lack of staff. They are eager to assist, and you will be asked a number of times if you require any assistance. Lastly, when checking out, if you don't receive a coupon, just ask as they normally have some.

This place is definitely expensive, would not recommend if you're broke, I'm not though. But yea I bought a soap shaped as a fish. I thought this was the coolest thing ever, I've never seen that before. Yea I paid $50 CAD for a soap. Yea that's absolutely ridiculous and yes you can call me stupid BUT at least it's cool though, amirite. Also, it smells good. But yea it's a gift, however I think I need to come back here and buy one for me. I think this is one of the coolest shops in gastown, this isn't a place you're going to read a review for and go, you just kinda walk into it like I did. Also, this place has really good books, I ended up buying the same book I saw here on amazon for half the price. But hey, at least I bought that fish soap.

Old Faithful is one of those shops that is merchandised so well where if you remove something off…read moreof a shelf someone else could tell exactly what you moved. I have been to the Old Faithful shop many times and it hasn't disappointed. It is very true to their theme of artisan, home-made or well-crafted-and-the-woodsy-bent items, which speaks to a particular customer. Some may love this shop and others may find it expensive and too specific to integrate into their personal style. I appreciate the care in the selection of the goods and the kindness of the employees. The first time I was in the shop (being overwhelmed by the visuals) I just bought several journals. When I got home, I realized that I wanted more and ordered them by phone because they don't use their website for special orders. They were very nice and when the package arrived, it was beautiful. Brown paper package, tied up with string... no kidding. This time I bought a huge wool blanket that I thought I could fit in my luggage (I couldn't) and it made a perfect gift. The thing about the blanket purchase was how much banter I had the the employees while I was purchasing it. While we were talking, THEY referenced that I had bought the journals the previous year. What memory. Their attention to detail gets me every time. I will always go back to Old Faithful when I am in Vancouver... whether or not I can fit what I buy into my luggage.

Nor am I the type to ever send you an e-card, and not because I'm just not that into you -- it's just not my style. I want heavy card stock, hand stamped envelopes, and something to grip my hands on so that I can put pen to paper. Tiny but mighty, Zing is light and bright, filled with cards for every occasion, agenda books, custom wedding invites, and funky wrapping paper. It's easy to park, the lady behind the counter was friendly, and I left the store with some birthday cards in tow. As with everything that caught my eye at Zing, these cards aren't of the boring cookie-cutter variety, so I can share them with confidence that my loved ones haven't already received the same card countless times before.
