I am so grateful for this beautiful store, thankfully right in my neighbourhood! In this day and…read moreage when so many are just "clicking" a purchase online, ... it feels so wonderful to to be able to see it, touch it and treasure it immediately. I love to shop local and seeing so many Canadian products that the store promotes is refreshing to say the least. Having a small business in this day and age is extremely hard and I applaud this store for it's longevity in the village, they have been there since as long as I can remember. Obviously the owner has an amazing talent for choosing very unique items and I have purchased many gifts but usually also walk out with some beautiful clothing or jewelry for myself as well lol ... also always enjoy the friendly staff who have on many occasions steered me in the right direction and then to top it off, gift wrapped my selection too! Win Win all the way! PS the new Houston Llew tile selection is amazing.

It surprises me that more people don't know about little 'ol "Newport Village" in Port Moody. When…read moreit was in it's first phase in the late '90's it was dubbed a "Little Whistler." Wish On A Star fits in perfectly with the life of the village. Lots of great gifts for any occasion. Pet, guys, wedding, baby, bath, body and of course furnishings adorn this store. The best part is that all of the gifts are wrapped with lovely scented potpourri, tissue and ribbons. If you buy a gift from here, it will likely be the one on the gift table that's admired while the recipient carefully opens and saves the wrapping to use again. And if that wasn't enough, there's two love birds that live in a cage, chirping away while you admire all of the lovelies.

I'm a sucker for museum gift shops and artisan fairs, where you can browse and/or purchase unique artsy items and occasionally meet and chat with the artists who created them. This gift shop embodies all that, and more. The store carries a diverse selection of art items, from gorgeous greeting cards created by paper artists and painters and photographers, to ceramic tile coasters with BC photographs fused onto them, to ceramics to textiles to jewelry. When I visited I also saw some lovey contemporary glass pieces, from small pocket hearts to larger serving platters. I really liked how this shop focused on the works of local artists. I like supporting local talents and local businesses. I also really liked how, unlike some museums or art gift shops, here their items for sale ranged in price from $5 and up, making many of the beautiful items available and accessible to folks on any budget. I really appreciated that wide range of price points here. For example, I saw some gorgeous hand-made greeting cards with hand-made textile embellishments on them, signed on the back by the artist, for $4.95, and I've seen comparable artist-made greeting cards for double that price elsewhere. (Note: for many items here, though, the pricing is on par with similar artisan creations. I believe the pricing may be set by the artists themselves). As I was leaving the shop, I chatted a bit with the lady at the check-out counter, and I commented how lovely the shop is, how there's something here for practically anyone. She noted that they have a very popular "Christmas marketplace" coming up in November and December, and I have already put a return visit to PoMo to check it out!

I have been to this store in Guildford several times over the years and have purchased some…read morebeautiful cards. A week ago, after quite a bit of searching, my wife picked out two cards that were very nice which I purchased. (These are the kind that is wrapped in plastic and fairly expensive) However, today she decided that one of the cards wasn't quite right for the occasion and tried to return it. Surprise, surprise, they don't take returns even if it is unopened as this was. The girl at the counter said that 'no refund exchange only' is printed on the receipt. That's a great help after you have purchased it. When we mentioned that, the girl said, "I'll call the manager". The manager's excuse was that they have an old system that doesn't have return credit capability. To me it looks like the same system they had a few years ago. Does that mean that when it was new it couldn't do credit returns? That is a sick excuse to avoid giving refunds since they will do exchanges. Every store I have been to that has an 'all sales final policy' verbally notifies their customers of such. Every time I have made a purchase in this store I have dealt with a different clerk and NOT ONE OF THEM has informed me that all sales are final. Today they pointed out that there are two small signs in front of the counter (but not in your line of sight when dealing with the clerk) that state sales are final. If you have been in this store you likely haven't noticed them as they sit among countless other printed items. No matter, they still refused to refund. The manager suggested that my wife keep the card for a while until she could find something in the store that she liked better. How long might that be when the occasion she picked it for is close at hand? I will never shop at this store again and advise any who choose to; be sure that you really want to keep your purchase because once you pay for it, it's yours forever whether you want it or not!

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.

At time of ordering and paying the customer service rep said the flowers might not be exactly like the photo as they use seasonal flowers.

Flowers, especially the roses were wilted, edges were brown, and the accent flowers were the cheap kind. I should have bought a dozen roses from Costco instead of using this florist.
