    If you want to get a gift for that friend or family member that has an incredible sense of humor then by all means stop by here. This place is filled with things from nice and practical (soaps, lotions, perfumes, jewelry etc) to zany and crazy (poo sprays, crazy tshirts, cards etc). Every corner is packed with some interesting item in here - you can browse to your heart's content! Honestly words can't describe the mush mash of goodness in here so I'll let the pictures do the talking

    I usually go to the Outer Layer Location in the Annex.. which carries identical merchandises as this Queen Street West location. I enjoy browsing through the jewelleries, natural body products and a lot of things that are neat but you don't really need... Great store to get some cute little gifts to surprise your friends or your love ones. This location is a lot more spacious. A lot more space for me to browse around even with my yoga mat, I do not bump into shelves, things or other customers. Oh and I did not stalk Karl R or bump into him either!

    Cutest little store ever! A great great great gift store if you want to buy something quirky and funny for someone! I think this is going on my fave all time stores in the city. This place is a mess of pretty much anything gifty, from printed t's, journals, cards, calendars, books, baby clothes, soaps etc, Just really creative great gifts. The printed t-shirts are a ball, they are like bumper stickers on a shirt! There are a lot of baby clothes, just really adorable pieces (I kick myself for not finding this store a few months ago when I was scrambling to find good quality baby clothes). Rare gem of a find! I love it!

    This was one of the last stores that I went to when looking for a unique, funny, sarcastic card for a friend.

    There's a gift-shop Battle Royale at the Front Street entry/exit of Toronto's St. Lawrence Market…read more I imagine the owners of the 43 year-old St. Lawrence Smoke & Gift Shop (SLS&GS), and the 10 year-old The Souvenir Market (TSM) shooting daggers with their eyes as they glare at each other across the walkway. I'll let you read my SLS&GS review (https://www.yelp.com/biz/st-lawrence-smoke-and-gift-shop-toronto) to find what's going on over there. As for TSM, there's plenty of cool stuff. IMHO, they win over the Smoke Shop when it comes to maple quality and selection. You'll find maple syrup, maple cookies, maple candies, maple butter, maple chocolate, and maple coffee and tea, just to name the most prominent. I also put TSM on top when it comes to sports stuff ... you'll find a sturdy amount of reasonably priced Toronto Raptors and Blue Jays gear. They also best their cross-walkway rivals in things the Smoke Shop just doesn't have (or has so little of I missed it): TSM wins on RCMP (a.k.a. The "Mounties") stuff, post cards (expensive, but excellent quality), Anne of Green Gables (the famed Canadian novel character) items, and on international flags. When it comes to the standard Toronto- and Canada-adorned items, both stores do well with t-shirts, magnets, mugs, bags, sunglasses, bags, and the rest. There isn't a lot of crossover, though, making both stores must-sees for the souvenir hunter. With a straightforward name like "The Souvenir Market" you expect an abundance and variety of great stuff ... and, boy, TSM delivers!

    Food/Drinks: The food was pretty basic but tasty. I do feel like the menu felt a bit limited, but…read morewe did enjoy what we ate. I got the ravioli and mashed potatoes, and it was exactly what I expected. I enjoyed every single bite, and I'd probably get the same exact order if I went back. The fries were also pretty good, and the Parmesan did add taste to them. My husband also did enjoy his steak. The drink that I got was an apple flavor, and I just remember it tasting delicious, so it's one of my favorite items that I got that night. Location: The location is beautiful, and it's definitely one for the books. You have a 360 view of Toronto, and it moves very slow, but you get to see all throughout the view of Toronto, and it's very beautiful, especially at night when the lights around are glistening. This place is not a casual place. In my opinion, people were dressed up, as well as ourselves, and it's a perfect place for a special celebration or if you're visiting Toronto like us. We took Uber here as we were visiting Toronto, so I'm not sure how parking works for this location. Service: The service was great. Our server was amazing, and I wish I would've written this review a lot sooner because he deserved a five-star regarding how nice and helpful he was, especially with exploring the menu and answering all our questions. If I visit Toronto, this is definitely somewhere I would like to come again. I think it's worth visiting and experiencing again. I do remember it being more on the pricey side but well worth the price tbh .

    This gift shop is located inside of the CN Tower. It could easily be a stand alone gift shop. You…read moredo not have to pay for any of the tower's attractions to visit the gift shop. It is free to shop. You do have to go through security screening to get to the shop, but it is before any admission stations. This gift shop has a department store kind of feel and not only has CN Tower memorabilia, but Toronto's and Canada's as well. You will find shirts, hats, key chains, magnets post cards, stuffies, toys hats and snacks here. It has a decent collection of stuff. I did think that the stuff they have is a bit pricey, but oh well. My interaction with the staff was limited, but the little that I did have, they were nice enough. Because it takes some work to get to including finding parking, which can be pricey, going through security, and paying higher prices. I would not consider this gift shop a destination spot. It is still a viable option to purchase your trinkets if you are visiting the CN Tower, the Aquarium, or Rogers Centre.

I've seen the Sanrio Baggu collab on social media and thought it was really cute, but I didn't know where to purchase it in person. Luckily, the store had most of the items still in stock.

She was also helpful with a question I had and helped me even though I didn't expect it to happen. Ordered a bag from TeKoop since they're one of the few stores (that I'm aware of) that sells Anello bags that has a relatively easy location to get to. This is helpful when you want to see the actual product vs having to potentially deal with the hassle of returning the item. I pass by, and sometimes visit, their store whenever I'm in the area. As for the bag, I bought an Anello Alton backpack. Quality is really good and it's new. I was worried that it could be counterfeit or could be used (I see lots of videos online about this issue). Overall I recommend this store for your bag needs. They've gaied a repeat customer for their personal touch and I'll be sure to support this local business for future bag purchases, either for me or for more gifts.
