Artisan is a French word having evolved from the Latin "artitus", and usually signify skillfully made or arranged - and mean care, expertise and quality. If you are looking for exclusive pieces crafted by Quebec artisans, then L'Art des Artisans du Québec is the place to shop. Yes, Exclusive! A place to find truly unique gifts, ("Des articles magiques, qui ont du sens, que vous ne pourrez trouver nulle part ailleurs") These items, which are made by hand by Quebec designers working with materials that have an element of warmth to them, to come up with new creation that are unique and everlasting, and to test the limits of their imagination, passion and creativity. It is a marriage between beauty and uniqueness. By purchasing products that are made in Quebec, we are supporting the local economy and limiting transportation--a nice gesture for the environment! I was impressed by the number of various unique works,being sold there, many of them handcrafted and full of life and character. What a pleasure to visit such an interesting, well laid out shop, packed with colour, and different than the regular store you will come across. Service was friendly and helpful. It's well worth a visit.

I saw this Miniso store while heading over to Biiru for dinner. I made a mental note of it and…read morechecked it out before heading to the Just For Laughs comedy festival. This store is the first Miniso that I have ever visited that is not in a mall. It was different seeing a standalone store. You can get cool items at cheap prices. I stumbled on the sunglasses section first. I tried on a few pairs. They felt cheap, but stylish. I like the merchandise in Miniso, although I have yet to buy anything from the store! For instance, I liked the bear USB 4-port hub. It was adorable. It would look great with the bear trash can. I do love the computer and phone accessories. I could look at the USB fans and charging cables all day. There are tons of snacks. If you like Pocky, you can find practically every flavour imaginable. The stuffed animals and water bottles were at the back. I liked the varieties and colours. There were a fair number of folks shopping when I was there. The sales folks were trying to help a person with a question as I walked out. It's a nice addition to the area. Maybe when I'm back, I'll get something and break my browsing streak! (325)

I didn't want to buy all the things our first day so we made it a point to go back the last day we were there. They have gifts that you can get at other establishments along with some local flair as well. Upstairs and downstairs, those stairs get quite slippery in the winter so be sure to watch your step! Given the location it was busy both times we went so be patient, get a basket and shop around!

When she saw there wasn't an exact match in stock, she checked the artist's website for other shops that sell her work, called two shops to ask if they had them in stock, and helped me plot my route there. That type of service is the stuff that created happy (and loyal) shoppers! This is a cute little shop on Rue Mont Royal, in the heart of the plateau, selling jewelry, cards, stickers, mugs, t-shirts, tea towels, mugs, and other fun gifts made by local artists and reasonably priced. I stop by several times each year and always find something delightful.

I purchased a number of skull bracelets that I wear in the Fall for Day of the Dead and Halloween. I've paid up to $10 each for similar bracelets and I was psyched to find them here for only $5. I also scored a great deal on a faux fur wrap. It was a bit out of season in June, but I enjoyed it later in the winter. Lots of stuff here to browse, clothing, costume jewelry, scarves, wraps and other accessories. They also have some small souvenir items at great prices. My bf scored some beautiful Canada themed coffee mugs.

Since we were in another country and our family here has never been to the Costco, we decided that…read morefor one of the snow days we'd just go! So we went! Each Costco you go to has local items so Canada of course had a lot more pastries and poutine. Yes, poutine in the food court and packs to make some at home. They also had mini chocolate croissants, nutella filled beignets....and I was surprised they still had the Kirkland hazelnut spread! Ugh, we've been wanting this forever since it disappeared in California. It's better than Nutella in our opinions. The layout was foreign of course, so we didn't explore a whole bunch but noticed that the wine/liquor area wasn't as large. The lines here weren't long and check out went fairly quickly. Overall it was a fairly calm Costco which is amazing and some regional specialties is always fun. Definitely check it out!

I know for a fact that the regular membership is $55. there is a second one that is in the hundreds but I don't know how exactly it is. I have to mention that Costco has an awesome return policy so if ever you are not satisfied with one of the product they are really flexible. I bought a dog food that my dog didn't like and it was easy for me to trade it. Now let's talk about the shopping so Costco has a little bit of everything from expensive jewelry's to electronics like laptops computers, cameras, tv. Honestly Costco has almost anything you could find. If there was a zombie a Apocalypse. This would be the place you would want to be. They offer a lot of services for example they have a garage, optometrist, photo center and also a pharmacy. Some of them even have gas station and the gas is always a few cents cheaper for some reason. Would definitely recommend the oil change They have a great price. Also if you need a passport picture. Great price! I often go to Costco for the fruits and vegetable. Not always the best price but definitely the freshest in the region. I would definitely recommend coming in with a friend and then splitting the food if you live alone. This is the perfect spot for all families.
