Actually, I usually bribe my husband with a meal at The Olive Garden so we can make a quick pit stop at Clipper Street too. Works every time! Clipper Street has all the supplies I need at a one stop shop. The store itself isn't that big, but I like the quality that is offered. They carry the cutest ribbons, embellishments, paper, stamps and scrapbooks in the business. The staff are wonderful. I remember I was shopping with a friend and we shopped until 20 minutes past closing time without realizing it. The staff wanted to go home, but remained extremely patient with us.

I have watched other stores Facebook lives introducing new products. some show the products in detail others just show the packaging none do any demos and most do not give you the price of the item. Clipper street does all those things. I find their prices cheaper then ichaels and much better quality. I would definitely recommend Clipper Street..

Small Wonder is the storefront for a quarterly magazine "for kids and their grownups." The store is a little sparse but has a few cards, soaps, gifts, toys, and some clothing to peruse.

It's one of those shops I'm glad isn't close to my house or I'd be over there wayyy too often adding various colorful furniture, knick-knacks, and bric-a-brac to my stale beige apartment. The shop features two rooms devoted to all things imports. The first room is mainly small items, from jewelry and candles to clothing and other decor items. If you're looking for a gift for that hard-to-shop-for friend, this is the place. The second room is full of seriously gorgeous furniture and larger household decor items. Dressers, chairs, beds, dining sets, tapestries, lamps, rugs...it's all in here and it's all just begging you to dig out the ol' credit card and re-dec your place to look like you just returned from a six month excursion through Southeast Asia. The staff are super helpful, too. I was looking for a wall tapestry for my daughter (who is trying desperately to add a boho vibe to her bedroom). The store employee showed me the different sized tapestries and helped me pick one that most suited my kid's vibe. She said if my daughter didn't like it I was welcome to come back and exchange it for a different one. (Luckily, she liked it!) Someday when I win the Mega Millions I'm going to head to Wander and buy one-of-everything.

But then newcomer Spirits Free arrived, and although at first it seemed the store had an identity crisis, leaving the sign blank with no name for months, the character of the shop, now aptly named 'Wander', really took an independent form. The space was brightened up considerably and filled with affordable merchandise from around the globe. Add nice music and an uncluttered layout and voila! You have an inviting, warm place to buy lovely things for yourself or gifts for friends. The merchandise includes home decor and objects of self adornment. From tribal style to Yoga style, there's something for everyone and every season. You can't just pass by, you have to wander in :)

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.

First time I walked in here, I needed to replace my travel mug. I found the most practical yet high end tea mug (that could also work for coffee) but also walked out with several other things. The most recent trip to PoMo, I stopped for another tin of salve (from a Indigenous BC business) that helps with my layers of pain management. The staff are always wonderful to chat with & if you like this store, definitely walk a little further. It's worth checking out the bigger sister store too (that one has more items focused towards kitchen & home function). However, if you're looking for quick gifts or just a shot of happiness finding that little item, this is the store for you.

This is my new favorite store in Vancouver. I know, I know,…read moreit's not a new store. It's been around a long time. But it's new to me - and I FREAKIN' LOVE IT. I was wandering around Gastown the other day - I'm not often in the area, - and I stumbled upon this fabulous gift and card shop. It's small but wow, it packs a punch. I'm a sucker for stationery stores. I love greeting cards - the wittier, the more twisted, the better. I love funky household gift items (mostly for myself, truth be known!). I love fun tchotchkes that I can collect through the year and then put in my adult kids' Christmas stockings or give to them, out of the blue, to cheer them up. I love fun socks, clever games, colorful jigsaw puzzles, gorgeous wrapping papers and gift bags, Vancouver ornaments and Prosser art canvases. In other words, I love everything this store sells. They have a box that says "FREE" on it and it contains various items - all free. I got a small structured mylar-esque lunchbox that zippers up and has cute graphics of bike riders all over it. Totally new, with tags! I put all my purchases in it and carried it home, planning to give it to a friend who's a big bike enthusiast. SO nice. Another bonus is how incredibly nice the folks are who work here. As soon as I entered this place, I could see it was my kind of store, so I told the guy behind the counter that I love this store and I am going to be here a while (lol). He and I laughed and chatted and I browsed the store for a long, long time, getting a bunch of fun things along the way, chuckling at the funny (and some risqué) cards, admiring all the framing work they do (oh yeah, I should mention that they're essentially a framing shop!), and just loving everything about this fun shop.
