Omg obsessed with this store…read more Its in this little town in northern Ontario called blind river, on hwy 17. On the way to Sault ste. Marie or thunder bay, or Vancouver. Haha They are a gift ware store, or as I like to put it 'things you can buy that make your place awesome'. Outside - they have a cute window display, you can tell what you are going to find inside. Decor - country store. It feels nice and friendly when you walk in. Warning, it can be a bit overwhelming. There's a lot of stuff, but its not cluttered and falling off the displays. There's big aisles and you never have to worry about bumping into things or knocking stuff over. Basically you WON'T feel like a bull in a China shop!! Also the shop smells amazing. I want my place to smell like that. Always!!! Staff - everyone is always super nice. Shout out to Shirley! Go when she's working! Goods- all that other stuff doesn't matter unless the goods are good. They are. This things they sell: picture frames, candles, vases, paintings, clocks, purses, jewellery, funny sign, plates, stuff like that. Ok. They have something for everybody, which means you probably won't like everything they have, they have things for babies to grandma's and everything in between. Which is awesome because that means if you forgot a hostess gift or that its grandma's bday you can buy it here. Love the candles. Apparently best sellers!!! Cost- there are a few things that made me think 'how much? It can't be that inexpensive'. But honestly mostly you think of that IKEA commercial where the woman yells 'start the car! Start the car!'

Sadly, and so contrary to other businesses in Gore Bay (actually in all of Manitoulin), staff here…read morewere very unfriendly during our visit in mid-May of this year. We walked in, smiling and saying hello, to buy some much-suggested bread as we had just dined at a local restaurant. There were two staff - one male, one female. They didn't bother to smile nor greet us, they didn't ask us if we needed any assistance - they just kept looking at us while we walked around the store. There was an air of cool blandness from them. Their blatant indifference only made us turn around and just walk out. Doubt we'll make any attempt at going back there again.
