Granville Island Toy Company is a fun toy store. One thing I've noticed and love about Vancouver,…read morethere is a toy store in every neighbourhood. Actually, I notice there tends to be individual services (florist, fruit/veg stand/ butcher/ baker) for most things in each area...very different from the US...and I think it's much nicer. Granville Island Toy Co. has been around for quite awhile. The emphasis is on quality play things, but they do have some of the latest trend items also (like Frozen dolls). The shop is nicely laid out. The displays are inviting. It is easy to find things. On my last visit, I noticed a bunch of siege engines and Da Vinci machine models on display. They were very well made and would be so fun to mess with. This store has a great selection of popular, high end toys: Playmobil, Calico Critters (I lovvvve Calico Critters), Legos, Schleich. More trendy stuff by Funko. An excellent selection of games of all types for all ages & lots of puzzles. Excellent place for stocking stuffers. They also have Corolle dolls - these are lovely for any child that wants a baby doll - they smell like vanilla, so well made & sweet looking. The staff here is friendly and knowledgeable. They aren't pushy. Granville Island Toy Co. offers gift wrap, gift cards and has a nice customer loyalty program. You get $5 for every $100 you spend and an invite to their annual 25% off sale. A fun stop for any toy lover visiting Main Street!

It's a touristy place but it's still fun. We stopped by Paper-Ya. Small square footage space within a larger building. We visited over the weekend. It was crowded. Staff were friendly. Lots of cute stationery. The store reminds me of Fireworks Gallery and MochiThings.

This place can get pretty packed on weekends. They don't allow drinks, photos, or use of your own…read moreshopping bag (e.g. reusable bag) when you are in the store. I went once on a Saturday and once on Monday morning. It's best to go during the weekdays Regardless, this store has everything you need. They have stamps (specifically wax sealed stamps), books, water colors, variety of pens, journals (travel and passport journals), stickers, and random knick knacks. They also sell small artists work. The staff here are so sweet and knowledgable in journaling, pens, and art materials. This place is definitely a spot to check in Granville Island!

I am so grateful for this beautiful store, thankfully right in my neighbourhood! In this day and…read moreage when so many are just "clicking" a purchase online, ... it feels so wonderful to to be able to see it, touch it and treasure it immediately. I love to shop local and seeing so many Canadian products that the store promotes is refreshing to say the least. Having a small business in this day and age is extremely hard and I applaud this store for it's longevity in the village, they have been there since as long as I can remember. Obviously the owner has an amazing talent for choosing very unique items and I have purchased many gifts but usually also walk out with some beautiful clothing or jewelry for myself as well lol ... also always enjoy the friendly staff who have on many occasions steered me in the right direction and then to top it off, gift wrapped my selection too! Win Win all the way! PS the new Houston Llew tile selection is amazing.

It surprises me that more people don't know about little 'ol "Newport Village" in Port Moody. When…read moreit was in it's first phase in the late '90's it was dubbed a "Little Whistler." Wish On A Star fits in perfectly with the life of the village. Lots of great gifts for any occasion. Pet, guys, wedding, baby, bath, body and of course furnishings adorn this store. The best part is that all of the gifts are wrapped with lovely scented potpourri, tissue and ribbons. If you buy a gift from here, it will likely be the one on the gift table that's admired while the recipient carefully opens and saves the wrapping to use again. And if that wasn't enough, there's two love birds that live in a cage, chirping away while you admire all of the lovelies.

These include: socks, scarves, mittens, chargers, headphones, fresheners, stuff animals, etc. Though it may seem similar to places you find in Richmond (Aberdeen Centre) or Robson St., the quality of the items seem rather good. Sample of things I bought: - Earphones $5 - works same and looks like those I bought from London Drugs for $25. 5 Stars. - Animal eye mask $5 - for traveling and also has hot cold gel pack. Just too cute. 4 Stars. - Toss Pillow with hand warmer pouch on the side $7 - kids just love it! 5 Stars. Payment is cash only for now. This is a fun place to find things you never thought you needed (you probably don't but still bought anyways. Great place to prep Party Grab Bags etc. Overall this is a welcomed addition to the Kerrisdale shopping corridor and brings variety to a weekend walk in the neighborhood. Update: credit cards now accepted.

Many of these toys are geared towards fostering creativity, imagination, and interactivity, which is something we need more of, in our increasingly screen-addicted society. We purchased a baby dragon stuffed animal for our baby son, Sir Galahad, but hopefully he'll befriend him, instead of slaying him!

The video game section at Toys R Us is about the size of the entire Splash Toy Store. That gives you an idea how tiny this place is. They have a lot of plushies, puzzles and building block type toys. They don't have (m)any of the usual shelf-warmers: Transformers, G.I. Joe, Barbies, My Little Ponies, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, etc.... Splashes seems to focus more on quality toys with some component of discovery, problem-solving or learning. Some of the puzzles and building toys are quite pricy, however. They also seem to carry some stuffed animals and figurines from companies I've never heard of. During COVID, they are restricting how many people can enter the store at a given time. And, since the store is tiny, the lineup can be long. On our last visit, there were 5 families ahead of us, and we had to wait about 20-25 minutes! Worth a look, especially if you're looking for a unique toy for that special someone.
