Sadly that is what drops this otherwise splendid review to merely adequate. When a manager infers that your child is a liar, and that "it's not her profit margins" the someone needs to remind the hired help that if not for the customers, there would be no work for her therefore not pay.... Wait what was that about her profits? Never the less just watch who you deal with at that outlet. The owners was fantastic. Thanks Mr. Laird.

Love coming in here to browse and always leave with a treasure or two. Most recently I purchased three pairs of super cute earrings - for only $6! Can't go wrong if you are looking for a unique gift or something special for yourself. Staff is always super friendly and polite. As others have mentioned, the space is small so keep this in mind if you are entering with tons of bags.

It's a very tight space; don't come in with tons of bags or backpacks because you'll just act like a bull in a china shop, unintentionally. What's cool is that all of their goods come from neat faraway places and typically everything is well labelled so you know the origin of the product. I always like looking through the jewellery, but if clothing is more your thing, the back room has all kinds of creative items.

What a great little toy store. Just like everything else in Kingston, this place has so much charm…read more The inside is beautiful. If toys are upscale, this is an upscale toy store. Not like the stuff you see in the aisles at Walmart. There are gorgeous books, educational toys and lots of fairytale/fantasy items, like hobby horses on sticks. My friend's daughter loves everything princess. They had a gorgeous rabbit princess dress in her size. It had flowers and rabbit ears on the headband and even a fluffy little tail on the back of the dress. She loved it. I also got her a cute picture book about dream animals. I would have loved this place when I was little! Oh, and they had these milk straws with flavour in the straw so that when you drink the milk it gets infused with that flavour. I think the one I got for her was Unicorn...something. Can't remember exactly but I had a giggle with her mom about them. So unique! If you need a special gift for an adorable child in your life, this is the place to go. The girl working behind the counter was so nice too! We had a great conversation about how she lived on the island and took the ferry to work. I really enjoyed shopping here! I'm going back to Kingston in October and will definitely stop in to grab another present for Izabela. I wish I'd taken pictures of the items, but I forgot and though I have one of Izabela in the dress, I wouldn't post a picture of a child anywhere online these days! Just take my word for it. It was gorgeous!

Overall the store offers more unique toys, I found the quantity was a bit small but when you really take the time to look through everything and take the time then it seems like there are more options.

Context for this review: I visit a lot of character and stationery stores in Toronto. Also, I am…read morebig on customer service - the real reason for the fail rating behind this review. OK - so as I've mentioned, I frequent a lot of stores similar to this one. Some are pricey, some are awesome values. This is definitely on the pricey end of the range, so no redeeming stars to be had there. Yes, it's on the tourist trap strip, but given that they're big enough to have online sales, and that the prices were beyond what I see in Toronto, doesn't help my rating. The range of merchandise is pretty good - lots of harder to find, more unusual pieces like calligraphy collections and the like, and a few glass pen selections. Daytimer and diary selection was pretty thin. Better range of plain sketch books and one or two music book choices. For the plush character merchandise, it wasn't so great - some more recognized Pokemon characters and a lot of generic animals, fruits, etc. There's some jewellery, backpacks, etc. Not much in terms of housewares/practical items like mugs, eating ware (except for portable), boxes, etc. The store was not laid out very well and the merchandise needs to be hunted through for differing varieties of some of the items. My hindsight brings up a dark and dingy image compared to the cute and bright logo on the outside of the store. Last but not least nail in this review coffin, I was actually insulted by the staff's attitude and remark while cashing out. Not only could I sense the attitude in their down-the-nose gaze, which was chilly enough, I got the message loud and clear that working here is all about them when I made my usual request not to have the 2 pieces of receipts stapled together. "Well, our policy is that returns need them both, so I (underline, bold and capitalize that "I") need it [sic] stapled." Okay, YOU need them stapled. WE won't be back. Not in the store and won't bother looking online, either.

I actually didn't see a ton of very well known branded stuffed toys (no Sanrio characters) but there were a few of the more popular Pokemon. There were a lot of different tools for journaling including an array of gel pens, stickers, and notebooks including ones with 2020 dates, diaries with flaps, and bound leather journals. They had some fashion accessories like fuzzy scarves, mittens, and hats. There were some anime statues in a display case up front but I wouldn't say that's the focus of the store. The store is really well organized and neat. There was only one associate working there when we dropped by who was industriously rearranging the shelves. She left us alone for the most part but thanked us for coming in as we left.

I was perusing some houseware items, playing cards and candles when I rounded the corner and found furniture- sofas, side chairs and decorative pillows. You need camping supplies?

I was drawn to this cute, curated, jewelry shop the previous night when I walked by. It was just…read moreabout closing time, so I didn't bother going in, but made a mental note to visit it the next time I was downtown! Space itself is deep and narrow. Jewelry ranges from costume to fine, as per another review cz to diamonds. Staff were around, asked if I needed any help, but I wished they had offered more info as to whether jewelry were from local artisans, where they get their stuff, etc. Other than aesthetics, not sure how stuff was organised. However, the costume jewelry was probably in the open, more accessible dressers whereas the silver/gold jewelry, esp. with diamonds, in the cases, at the back of the store. They have really nice pieces and I wished that I had more time to pick out a ring for myself!

Such a darling little shop in Kingston…read more Stopped in to browse their jewellery on a day in town. They offer mostly modern sterling silver pieces with varying price points. The materials range from cubic zirconia to real diamonds. The piece I loved the most also happened to be one of the most expensive in the store (turns out it was white gold and diamonds). But was oh so pretty - may have to treat myself next time I come back to visit.
