With a…read morelovely selection of gift cards, journals, stickers, ribbon and a small but lovely selection of scrapbooking and card making paper/supplies, it's lovely to browse in and almost impossible to walk away from without a purchase. In addition to my 'drug' of choice, they have some fun small gift and decor options. Everything is beautifully displayed. Staff are friendly. This surprise me - but dogs are welcome. (Apparantly most Glebe stores allow dogs... who knew? Love it!) If you are a vistor to Ottawa, it's in an area that's lovely to walk on a sunny day. Would I return? Yes Would I recommend: Yes

Very interesting store, like a wonderland for adult!…read more They have all sorts of paper stuff, and all so beautiful! From thank you card, notebook, envelop, warp paper, to napkin. You name it, they have it. They put together the most beautiful paper stuff together in one store. Many products are too precious to be used. Very easy to spend lots of time here, even just look around. Love it here!

This is the cutest bookstore ever. I've wanted to go for awhile and I'm glad I finally did today…read more The outside has a small down feel, very cozy and when you walk in it's even cuter. They have categories which are so inclusive and educational. The energy was quiet and young and artsy. Younger girls working there when I went and it was very busy, they also have merchandise.

I picked up a very nice book related to their current temporary exhibit as well as some mementos - everything was well displayed & not overly pricey as far as traditional gift shops go.

I must have been in 100 gift shops over my 10 days in Ontario and Québec. Over that time, there…read morewasn't one with better quality items that the Canadian Museum of History (Musée Canadien de l'Histoire) gift shop/boutique. Let's start with the more standard stuff: High quality hoodies, sweaters, t-shirts, hats, mugs, bags, keychains, cards, and lanyards (to name a few) ... most bright red, emblazoned with maple leaves and other famous Canadian locales placed front-and-center. Then there's plenty in French and things that may specifically appeal to the French and French-Canadian. My personal fave is the whole section (with shirts, books, etc.) dedicated to the famed Astérix et Obélix cartoon -- a staple in French humor since the late 1950s. And, of course, the thing that sets this gift shop apart is all the books, bags, t-shirts, posters, jewelry, blankets, scarves, shawls, plush toys, keychains, magnets, boxes, ties, totes, carvings, ornaments, brooches, journals, etc., specifically related to the Museum's exhibits past and present. I can't stress it enough how exceptional a place this is if you want a book on all facets of Canadian history ... both publications by the Museum itself and those seminal works on Canadian history and life. As well, no store I've been to in Canada compares when it comes to carvings, totems, and other items related to the Inuit and First Nations. It's such a great store, I'll say make sure you don't forget to see the Museum itself!!!!

Spent the weekend with my cousin, who is also a bibliophile like myself and he brought me here since he wanted to get a book for me (which he found almost immediately) .

Came here for the first time the other day. I must say, this place is pretty cool. This store is…read morebig and has a lot of variety. They have a lot of new and old books. I got lucky and found a first edition book I was looking for. Staff was nice and helped with any questions I had. This stores prices are a bit higher then most used book stores.

I shop in this mall mostly for the grocery store, and I often forget to look up from my grocery list! This Hallmark store reminds me of the old Curiosity Shop that used to be in the Farm Boy Market Square in Kanata, where the other Farm Boy is, and the Bulk Barn and LCBO are also located. This store also sells decorations, and offers seasonal specialties such as Christmas ornaments. TONS of gift ideas in here! Every once in a while I need a gift that is "general", with a card. Something to say "Thank You", "I appreciate it", or "get well soon". I'm entering this review as a place-marker for me, so that I remember to come back here. I will return.

We are always warmly greeted by the friendly staff who strike the perfect balance between being so helpful if needed and allowing you to browse at your leisure in their store. The store manager, Carole, and her employee Sherry have become our friends over the years and they make each visit special.

But smells ok. Even a partial inventory online would be nice. Complete with suggested retail price. But the owner seems computer-averse. It is indeed a treasure trove, but buried treasure, moldering away in piles of trash. Everything there, except Harlequin romances. Putting the priced inventory online would possibly wipe out half the stock in a month. And would still leave the problem of finding the listed book in a random pile. The main issue for me is price. Some oddball oxidized third rate Sci Fi paperback is listed at $5. An old water-stained and crumpled 5 kg surgery textbook is $50, and took some ironing to make it readable. Service? Owner seems to know where everything is, and people seem to like the hunt. As for me, there was little parking space, and I got a $70 ticket. Read the signs! Patrols are frequent. In parting: come with an agenda, but browse. Be prepared to respectfully haggle. Dress down (easy for me) and mess up your hair. Dont rub the belly of the cat: he bites at that. He followed me out of the building onto the sidewalk. Let me know if he came back. Nearby Goat cafe is very natural and nice. Quiet, funky and calm. Dont miss it.

They obviously have books, of all genres, but they have so much more than books. They have board games/card games and they have toys too, including Celestial Buddies, which are plushies of planets, moons and all things, well... celestial, lol. I especially liked the Saturn plushie. They have "Every Child Matters" stuffed bears as well. They have really cool bookmarks (I especially liked the Spaghetti and Meatballs bookmark). They have earrings that are book covers! Perfect for the bibliophile in your life who also loves jewelry (and has their ears pierced). The bookstore is very open and not cluttered at all. They had some shelves still empty when I went the first week of November 2023, so I think they will be getting more merchandise. Prices are comparable to other regular bookstores. No bargain basement prices, but no huge markup for being in trendy Westboro, lol. Staff are friendly and pleasant. They leave you alone to browse, which I like, but seemed helpful with other customers who needed help (I did not need help, so did not interact too much with staff). Great place to pick up gifts. They are definitely a welcomed addition to Westboro! Street parking only.
