    Waterfront Gifts & Apparel - T-shirt of Canada's first Prime Minister, Kingston's own John A. Macdonald.

    Waterfront Gifts & Apparel

    Kingston is an underrated town when it comes to tourism. The 340+ year-old town is the epicenter…read morefor tours of the Thousand Islands, has the famed Fort Henry, is the hometown of Canada's first Prime Minister (John A. Macdonald), and has some of Canada's best fresh-water sailing. Luckily for the town, it has a gift shop like Waterfront to ensure one doesn't forget about this great place. First of all, we were sucked in by happenstance ... or very clever marketing ... as we had to go in the get our tickets for the Thousand Island Discovery Cruise inside the gift shop. That being said: Once you go in, there is an abundance of cool, high-quality stuff. I would hazard a guess that Waterfront has the city's best collection of Kingston-based apparel ... I draw this conclusion because since it has a deeper collection of gift-shop wares than the Kingston Visitor Info Centre (reviewed here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/kingston-visitor-information-centre-kingston). Hoodies, t-shirts, glasses, mugs, hats, boxer shorts, and the rest. You'll also find plenty of nautically themed stuff from shirts to lighthouses to books to model sailboats. To call it a "gift shop" would be an insult as they have so much fancy stuff: Scrubs, soaps, candles, watches, purses, wallets, jewelry, scarves, frou-frou gift baskets, high-end greeting cards (including some that are hand-drawn), and the rest. There are several high-quality brands including the sock puppets and stuffed animals of Cate & Levi; the hemp-heavy and fair-trade fashion of Ark Imports; the beauty and personal care products of Walton Wood Farm; and the vegan, eco-friendly, and cruelty-free skincare products of Kingston's own Shiva's Delight. And, oh, don't worry: PLENTY of maple. And #2: If you're into stuffed moose, I don't think you'll find a better selection in the Great White North :) So stop in ... even if you have to!

    I've been here a few times. Once before I lived in Kingston and a couple of times after I moved…read morehere. If you like silly little trinkets and memorabilia, this is the store for you! It had a bunch of Canada and Kingston merchandise since it's mostly a store for tourists, but they also have really cute/silly underwear! (For example, I bought a pair of boxers that said 'bear cheeks' with pictures of bears on the back.) They also have little toys, fridge magnets, kitchen tools, stuffed animals, etc. You get the idea! The stuff is definitely a little more expensive than what you'd find at other stores, but again, this is a store for tourists (mostly), so it makes sense that it's a tad more expensive. Overall, it's just a fun place to shop if you have some time to kill!

    The Northern Edge - This power supply has seen better days. Pin to hold the cord in is completely broken off, and structure inside seems to be cracked.

    Not only is the store itself a complete mess but the owner is awful. she continued to follow me and…read moremy friend around the store saying how COVID is fake and to take of our masks (she wasn't wearing one) and also tried to force us into a religion. when i tried to ignore her she banged on her desk and yelled at me to pay attention. i was scared if i left without her being finished talking or if i ignored her, that she would get aggressive. i highly recommend that you stay far far away from this store.

    Avoid this place! My friend, who is visually impaired, visited the store with friends about a week…read moreago while on vacation, and the woman working there pressured her into buying an led-lighted branch arrangement. My friend didn't receive any of the paperwork or the box. The woman just put it in a bag, and it wasn't until my friend got it home to Ottawa that she realized the power supply was broken. She called the shop and explained the problem and asked if a replacement power supply could be mailed to her. The woman outright refused to do anything, and suggested that my friend come back to the store. That's not going to happen, first of all because of the distance, and also because this woman was very pushy and insisted on grabbing my friend's hands and making her pray to get her sight back. I won't even get into how inappropriate that was. Bottom line, my friend paid $50 for a broken light arrangement which she will now have to spend time and energy to make work. Steer clear!
