Bang On is a shop that I would have loved about four years ago, but I'm getting a bit tired of this…read more70s-90s ironic nostalgia, especially the inauthentic kind. For $30 you can get a shirt pounded with your choice of design. You can choose between logos from Nintendo, children's programming, rock icons, porn covers, etc. You can also put transfers on trucker hats, dresses or jackets. If I was ever going to wear something like this again, I'd prefer to find it in a vintage store. It's snobby to think the real deal makes a difference, but there's something phony about basically mass-producing these shirts with logos and making people think they're unique because they can choose which American Apparelesque garment they put a sticker on. I just don't think the price is worth it, especially if it's just a gag gift. They also have some 80s and 90s sunglasses.

For my Canadians, in this store, I found excessive gouache, which is hard to find, the staff were nice and always helpful and they even have a gallery.

This yarn and wool fibre shop is amazing! With all the…read moredifferent brands and styles of yarn I find the staff so very helpful in getting what I need and help with colours (I am a tad colour-blind-ish) for a project. And the quality of the yarns they carry, from commercial production to indie dyers is top notch. And then there is the luxurious spinning roving and sliver. This is where my heart lay . The colour selection of wool for needle felting is also great. I really love this shop. It's a great place for patters, everything you need to complete a knit project or a yarn spinning project. 10/10 Highly recommend T

However, more than anything, it is helpfulness of all the Wabi Sabi team that convinces me this is the best yarn store around. They are so knowledgeable and very generous with their time and expertise, but never pushy. So-o-o-o-o happy the cool weather is returning!

Well, isn't this place just awesome! They've been here for... only forever! I've been shopping…read moreherefor over 15 years. One of my favourite items from this store are their little cookie presses, which are made by local artists, and offered in many, many different designs. They even come with an easy and tasty butter cookie recipe in English or French. I've got dozens of them - they're great, and only $2.50 a piece. I make these cookies all year, using different themed presses, depending on which holiday is coming up. Read: RECOMMEND. The store looks deceivingly small from the street, but it's a deeper store than it looks from outside. They sell arts and crafts made locally, some Indian art, and touristy types of things - the perfect gift for visitors to this fair city, and for the locals. They have offered colourful silk scarves, Dream Catchers, slippers, mitts, hats, paper gifts, wood carvings, and much much more. The place is eye candy! Ok, go shopping now, and then go bake! :-)

I missed everything about the season - the snow (when I was in the desert), the lights, the music, the decorations.... It is getting chilly here in the capital and my heart is longing for the Christmas season. I happened to be wandering along Wellington and discovered Ravensara! Okay, it is not a 100% a Christmas store - but the sight of all those seasonal knick knacks in the window made my heart flutter. Now, if you are not in the mood for St. Nick, Ravensara also features amazing arts and crafts like jewelry and pottery. If you are looking for the perfect gift, you might want to give Ravensara a look.

(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
