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.

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!

I picked out about 10 items I was going to hold on to and when I got to the cashier, I was going to go through them and leave behind the ones I didn't want to keep. The workers asked me if I wanted them to hold them for me, I politely said no thank you I am perfectly capable of holding my own items. Once I said this, I was followed through the entire store after telling them I had lots of money on me and I would be willing to show them. I also let them know that I am not a thief and never having been. I called them out for following me and they said they were just following me to offer me help if I needed it. I responded saying I would not need help but thank you very much, they continued to follow me despite this. I told them the souvenir store was full of indigenous items and these items are made by my people or supposed to be made by my people and I would be writing a review to show everyone who is deciding to go to the store to purchase items and to let them know the horrible experience I had due to the fact that I am indigenous. So not only are they making money off the art of indigenous people, they are discriminating against us and making us feel less than. None of the employees followed any other persons who were white or brown (these employees were Brown). Please sing twice before spending your money on this shop. Thank you for reading. MD

They have a lot of unique items I've not seen in other stores. (I think my friend said that the owner is a British lady who gets a lot of her things from England). Lots of floral items, potteries, soaps, and now, that we're entering the holiday season, lots of European Christmas items (ornaments, figurines, candles, stocking stuffers, etc). I really liked the selection of greeting cards here. They have a lot that showcase dogs (some cats too, but I noticed more dog cards). I saw beautiful cards and calendars and note pads and small mint tins with lovely artwork of so many dog breeds, and greeting cards with dogs, too. I just love that. I have a foodie friend who is particularly difficult for me to shop for. (I mean, honestly, I can 't afford the gourmet foods and wines he and his wife like). But I found the perfect gift for him here: a "wine and cheese pairing swatch book", and I know he will love this! (I'm attaching photos of the swatch book and the greeting card I got here today). I should note, there are a lot of breakables in this store, and there's a long, narrow aisle to walk alongside each side of a long display table in the center of the store. I note this, as this might not be the best place to go if you have a rambunctious toddler. (My friend mentioned that she used to take her mom here, years ago, when her mother was in a wheelchair, and it was "a nightmare" navigating this long, narrow aisle). FYI. All in all, this is really great store if you have to find a gift for someone who's hard to shop for. Or yourself!

I spent quite a bit of time in the back baby corner surveying potential baby-niece gifts, and there is a closet full of Victorian-esque night gowns. You can also stock up on party wares like exquisitely patterned paper napkins. I'll definitely be going back. October Challenge 20/31

There is a nice collection of gel candles (priced at around $10) that suspend miniature scenes within them. I found a good gift of an ocean-themed candle here. The large beading section is a bit haphazard, but offers a different variety than available at Country Beads. I'd go to Country Beads to create classy, lasting jewelry and to Pretty Up for fun, cheaper jewelry. That's not to say you can't find something to meet your style at either. And when you're done creating your treasures, you can check out the adorable jewelry boxes available too.
