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.

It's one of those stores that has all sorts of weird/cool little things tucked in all around the tiny shop. Looking for a fidget spinner? yep, they got those (altho isn't that fad now about five minutes ago?), how about some hot chili pepper undies? yep, or maybe a full rubber head of a unicorn? uh-huh, they got those too. It's on one of the more touristy streets in the city, so don't go looking for any kind of a deal, pricing tends to skew slightly higher, but if you're looking for that extra special card for your favourite aunt, this is the place to come. The staff is very helpful, from the owner down to all her employees. The only thing I cannot recommend here is the picture framing service. Apparently they outsource all their framing jobs, and that's never a good thing when there's a problem. But if you're in the market for cool socks or something with the word 'Vancouver' written on it, Kimprints is your stop.

I just love this store!…read more Many of the artisan or unique household accessories I've personally looked up online in the past few months were actually here on display, available for purchase! The types of items stocked here are totally down my alley, so I admit, I am biased. I love modern, clever, functional, non-fussy things, items with clean lines, nothing superfluous (I hate clutter. So things have to be practical!), smart and contemporary. It's like the buyer at this shop totally read my mind. I loved practically everything here. They have the coolest binoculars, lightweight puff blankets in a bag (light as a feather. Really!), candles, decanters, baskets, placemats and trivets and coasters, reflective tags and pins, cards, stunning jewelry, thick "butcher" aprons with the coolest hardware clips, organic baby linen bundles and gifts, contemporary tea infusers, glassware, adult card games and notebooks.... I could go on and on. Everything is cool here and beautiful to look at. The ladies who work here were all super nice and totally let us browse at our leisure. They were also very knowledgeable about all the merchandise. I've seen some of these items at local craft fairs, so I know they are locally made, by local artisans. There's a small section by the rear counter with sale items. Nice! This is an amazing shop, and the perfect place to get a hostess gift - or something for yourself!

They are friendly & very helpful, answers all our questions & made nice recommendations for items.

Of course, they offer the usual souvenirs (clothing, hats, toys, mugs, magnets, pens, key chains, etc), and items that say "Canada" or "Vancouver" on them. They sell better quality products as well - shirts are made of thicker material and prints are better; a wider selection of magnets and key chains, and backpacks and bags. They do have a nice variety of maple syrup, nougat, maple cream cookies, suckers and chocolates.

It has one thing and one thing only: postcards. The name doesn't lie, it is THE place for postcards. This tiny store within one of the arts and crafts buildings on Granville is jam packed with postcards from floor to ceiling. Prices can range from $2-$5+ depending on the size. You can buy postcard sets or individual ones. There are special occasion cards (birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc.) but also just random ones that reflect all types of themes. She also showcases a lot of local artists which is great. I've gotten tons of unique Vancouver-themed cards every time I visit. As a snail mail enthusiast who spends way too much time on Postcrossing, stamp chain cards, and general swapping, I've sunk quite a bit of money here. The postcards are cheaper once you get to the buy 5 / buy 10 mark and there are just so many to mix and match from. The lady who runs the store is also incredibly nice. When I told her I was from out-of-town, she gave me her card and mentioned that if I find anything I like, I can email her and she would be willing to ship them to me. I haven't taken her up on her offer yet, but one of these days!

As I recently started collecting postcards, I put the Postcard Place in my Yelp bookmarks. This little store is so cute and there is such a variety of nontraditional and non-touristy postcards. They were a little bit more expensive than your regular run-of-the-mill postcards but the quality in the majority of them was on par. Honestly I was kind of taken aback simply by the variety here. Variety in the subject matter and the types of papers available. There are so many unique cards, almost too unique to want to let go of them by mailing them to someone else. It might just makes someone's day though to get such a special treat in the mail. I will definitely be back if I'm in the Granville Island area the next time I'm in Vancouver.
