I have lived above this store since it first opened. When it first opened it was great, a Japanese…read morebed bath and beyond meets dollar store was just what this mall needed. But over the last couple of years not only has this store and its content deteriorated but the service has been intolerable everytime I step inside there. Most recent visit I was looking for a few final Christmas knick knacks. Walked in, no staff in site. I wanted to ask about an item I was looking for and finally found all 3 staff in one of the rows chatting away. I didn't bother them nor did they look like they were into helping anyone so went and found a few items on my own. Went to the front desk to purchase. Nothing. After a few minutes someone finally came to the till, completely ignoring me standing there and helped someone else. Rude. Finally I get to give them my money. She asks if I want a bag, yes I have multiple items of course I do. She rings it up and doesn't give me a bag. "I heard you say no" No, you didn't because I didn't say that. So now she wants me to do another transaction to pay 40 cents for a bag. No. Terrible customer service, I would rather walk home holding each individual item than ever give this terrible store another penny of mine.

Mini-wired mouse are so oldschool but my old one broke (long time ago). So I am looking for a replacement. Those things are not easy to find. Nope unfortunately Miniso doesn't carry them. Too bad for me. Well the store itself is neatly organized and well stocked. Very clean and bright. Very decent store.

visited miniso on granville street, and this is exactly the kind of store where "i'm just going to…read morehave a quick look" is a dangerous sentence. five minutes later, you're surrounded by sanrio characters, plushies, beauty gadgets and enough cute little things to make you question every ounce of self control you thought you had. miniso has built its whole personality around affordable, design forward impulse buys, somewhere between a lifestyle shop, character merch destination and a treasure hunt. the company originated in china but draws heavily from a minimalist japanese inspired aesthetic, so the store feels bright, clean and deliberately curated rather than chaotic or overcrowded. inside, there was a surprisingly huge mix of things to browse: makeup and beauty accessories, shelves packed with sanrio goodies, slippers, hair brushes, cutlery, water bottles and an entire wall of plushies. there was also plenty of mofusand and minions merch, because apparently i needed to be reminded that my shopping basket has room for at least one more adorable thing. a big part of miniso's appeal is the collectible culture. licensed collaborations, blind boxes, character goods, stationery, desk accessories, little gadgets and novelty items are all displayed in a way that makes even the most unnecessary purchase feel strangely reasonable. everything is affordable enough that you can easily convince yourself, "it's only a few dollars," which is precisely how "just looking" turns into "okay, i'll take this one too." they even have a rewards program, which somehow makes the entire impulse buy cycle feel more organized and intentional. points for buying things i didn't know i needed? suddenly this is a strategic shopping expedition. the whole experience is basically engineered for browsing. you walk in expecting to spend five minutes, and somehow you're examining cat themed keychains, skincare tools, sanrio accessories and stationery you had absolutely no plans to buy when you walked through the door. and honestly, that's half the fun of miniso. you never quite know what you're going to find, and the rotating mix of characters and collaborations gives you plenty of reasons to wander through the aisles "just one more time." just don't blame me when you leave with a plushie you definitely did not come in for.

Granville Island Toy Company is a fun toy store. One thing I've noticed and love about Vancouver,…read morethere is a toy store in every neighbourhood. Actually, I notice there tends to be individual services (florist, fruit/veg stand/ butcher/ baker) for most things in each area...very different from the US...and I think it's much nicer. Granville Island Toy Co. has been around for quite awhile. The emphasis is on quality play things, but they do have some of the latest trend items also (like Frozen dolls). The shop is nicely laid out. The displays are inviting. It is easy to find things. On my last visit, I noticed a bunch of siege engines and Da Vinci machine models on display. They were very well made and would be so fun to mess with. This store has a great selection of popular, high end toys: Playmobil, Calico Critters (I lovvvve Calico Critters), Legos, Schleich. More trendy stuff by Funko. An excellent selection of games of all types for all ages & lots of puzzles. Excellent place for stocking stuffers. They also have Corolle dolls - these are lovely for any child that wants a baby doll - they smell like vanilla, so well made & sweet looking. The staff here is friendly and knowledgeable. They aren't pushy. Granville Island Toy Co. offers gift wrap, gift cards and has a nice customer loyalty program. You get $5 for every $100 you spend and an invite to their annual 25% off sale. A fun stop for any toy lover visiting Main Street!

This little corner toy store definitely packs a punch…read more You can't miss this place: the exterior is painted all sorts of happy, bright colors, and there are usually toys and balloons outside the door, too. I've driven past this store a gazillion times and always smiled at the happy, exuberant exterior and toy display. I finally visited inside the store today and I was even more impressed. I personally love jigsaw puzzles, and this place has an excellent selection of puzzles in every range of difficulty, from 100 pieces to 1000 pieces. Most of the manufacturers were high-end brands. Walking around, I was so impressed by the sheer selection and types of games and toys in this place. I loved how they all seems to foster the imagination and creativity, and/or were "fun educational" in nature, like really fun geocaching tools, or science kits or activity books or "fossilized poop" (I'm not kidding you. From 1000 years ago. For real!). Games and toys that make exploring and learning fun. And lots of stuffed animals, too. And advent calendars in many fun themes (including crafty advent calendars). I loved how the toys were not stereotyped or categorized by gender or age. I kept thinking, if my kids were younger, this totally would be my go-to toy store. It is perfect for any kid IMO. You'd be hard-pressed not to find the perfect toy or game for even the pickiest kid here.
