No tax shopping [Surrey, BC Canada]…read more On our way back to Washington we hung a Roger and did some shopping at the Duty Free shop in Surrey. This was a fairly big store compared to the one in Toronto. This store had plenty of souvenirs but they were pricy even with the Canadian dollar. Sections of fragrance and cosmetic products, watches, purses... then the huge area of alcohol, wine and spirits! We bought Icewine for gifting. We came across the chocolate, sweets, biscuits, chewing gum, gummy bears, maple syrup, tea, Canadian tea. We started our Christmas shopping LoL! The U.S. Customs Border Patrol did ask us if we did some shopping and what kinds of things we purchased which was mostly wine and chocolates.

The store wasn't busy. I looked around freely and I haven't noticed any employee glued to me. I didn't care about the other products because I find it overly priced. I reached the area where the souvenir items are. I took my time in deciding what to buy. I paid what I wanted and I find the prices not bad.

These were very unique and tasty. The service here is top notch. It's family run and they're very friendly, welcoming, and can provide suggestions and answer any questions. Open daily 11 AM to 7 PM. I highly recommend visiting Grand Maple Gifts for your souvenir needs.

There were several people helping us find things and telling us about what things were in the different sections of the store. One extra helpful lady helped clarify shirt sizing before we made a mistake (women's cut vs unisex)! I wish they had more stuff exclusively made in Canada, and I wish they had a larger selection of maple candy brands (specifically more with just maple instead of dubious "flavoring"). The value seemed on par with what I would expect from a gift shop downtown. Nothing felt too too overpriced.

They are the also the only store that carries the AMAZING Reisenthel carry bags which have been a daily work day ( and weekend) necessity for myself and my teaching friends. It is also so much fun to wander the store and pick up unique and affordable hostess gifts that I stash away for those last minute invites. It is so refreshing to go into a store such as this, as they are quickly disappearing, and just enjoy the way things are so thoughtfully displayed and its overall feel is just delightful. I travel from Tsawwassen and it is worth the drive every time.

Living Pantry has CHANGED OUR LIFESTYLE and we love it!…read more My husband and I had never heard of a "refillery" before and we had lots of questions. Thankfully the owners were kind and informative as they took the time to answer all of our curious questions. We've been coming back ever since! This is a place where you can bring in your own containers of any size and refill with whatever product you need. Forgot to bring a container from home? No problem! They have a variety of containers of all different size and function you can purchase in the store to fill, take home, and use again and again. They have just about anything you could think of when it comes to homecare, personal care, and daily life. We especially appreciate the range of spices they carry. The garlic powder and applewood smoked salt are our top favorites. They also have olive oil, avacado oil, vanilla extract, raw honey, maple syrup, vinegar, rice, and beans just to name a few house holders food staples. A couple years back I switched from regular laundry detergent to theirs and I stopped getting little itchy patches all over my skin. I haven't looked back since! We love all of their skincare and shower essentials, the soaps are especially gentle on the skin and smell and feel amazing! I was on the hunt for a non toxic deodorant that would get the job done without disrupting my hormones. I gave the brand they carry, routine, a try and let me tell you it works wonderfully! It's easy and mess free to apply and it does the job even when I'm at the gym. This store also makes for a great place to buy presents and as a local gift shop. They have an array of PNW themed items as well as beautiful handmade pieces from local artists. My husband and I fell in love with the Lucky Animal Cups for sale here. One day we might just collect them all! Boy are we glad we stumbled upon this little shop. We love everything about it from the products for sale to the owners even to the smell of the store inside (when you go you'll know what I'm talking about). We love the no-waste mission and heathy, toxic-free products they carry that make it a safe place for us to put our health first and not have to compromise when picking out the products we use on our bodies. Visiting Living Pantry is something we look forward to every month as we restock on our essential home items and food staples. It's truly one of our happy places. They have something for everyone, so you gotta stop in and see it for yourself. I guarantee you won't be disappointed and I'd bet you don't leave empty handed either.
