Hip hip hooray! Parents and Moms-to-be rejoice! A 3rd location for Once Upon a Child opened up…read morelast year - this time in Sherwood Park. I had a chance to run in here last month while my daughter was at ski lessons and what a treat! Books were on clearance for $1 that day! YES - $1 books! Came home with a giant bag filled with books to overfill our already filled bookshelves! But hey, since when could one have too many books? Once Upon a Child is HANDS DOWN the best consignment store chain for used children's clothing and accessories. I've frequented them in Edmonton for several years now and even visited one in Saskatoon! You can drop off your gently used clothing and toys to trade in for store credit if you'd like as well. They offer a frequent purchaser stamp card to earn discounts and usually have coupons in the SUTP coupon book. They are on facebook and have an e-mail list if you would like advance notice for upcoming sales and specials! They also carry new items like Melissa & Doug at prices below what you would find at Toys R Us. Once Upon A Child is most definitely a dream come true for frugal shoppers who know that a baby outfit may get worn once or not at all!

Popped into the Disney Store today for their twice yearly sale and so glad we did! Snagged a set of Disney Ornaments for the Christmas tree - Regularly $34.50 CDN for $9.99 as well as a few other great goodies. The staff are ALWAYS polite and helpful - Odd, something not always found these days! I also like their new location (they used to be upstairs near the Apple Store and now they are almost in the same spot downstairs on the opposite wall. The store is larger and now has items from Disney's newest acquisitions including Muppets and Spider Man, etc. Anytime we stop by West Ed we always visit the Disney Store!

I woke up this morning and had a hankering for walking in a parade. Where should I go? I know,…read morehow about the Disney Store in West Edmonton Mall! The staff gave paper masks to everyone that wanted to participate in the parade so myself and a plethora of 6 year olds decided to dress up like Disney characters and walk around the store to some lovely Disney marching music. After having an enjoyable time participating in the parade, I quickly dropped an unplanned $200 on my 3 favourite things: Star Wars, Spider-Man, and Frozen. Needless to say, I love going into the Disney Store because it makes me feel like a kid again. You'd be hard pressed to find better customer service these days anywhere else. A friendly staff member even reached onto the top shelf to get my big stuffed Sven. Thank you Disney Store for being so welcoming and ending each and every transaction with, "Have a Magical Day."

Of all the Disney Stores in the city, this is by far my favorite. I miss some of the distinctive…read moredisplays that set it apart from the other locations, but the staff more than make up for it. Everyone I have met (on my many, many trips,) seems genuinely excited about the products and Disney, in general. I even had a staffer take the time to explain the importance of a new Star Wars character to me because I hadn't seen the new trailer yet -- she didn't just say "it's a Star Wars thing," she actually told me how it fit into the existing universe and its possible implications. Now that the holiday items are in-store, I'll likely become a more familiar face as I start my shopping for the little ones on my list!

I was looking around for gifts for little ones and I like the selection they have of clothes, toys, and plush animals, and lots of selection. In the sale section they had a cute Easter Minnie plush and lovely purple Frozen mugs both for $5.99. They also had tsum tsum mini plush in a variety of characters for half price. They also had Star Wars items which would be great for a fan. The staff are always friendly and willing to help if I need it. The check out was quick and efficient. Will be back next time I'm in Kingsway.

Whether it's party favours for a child's party or more sophisticated deco for adults, this store has everything. Granted, some items are a bit more than you might pay elsewhere (beware the candy!),but it's offset by the variety. You can get literally anything/everything you might need all in one spot, and it's hard to argue with that. I love just going there with a kiddo to pick out a treat (or two or ten). On our most recent trip, we found superhero finger puppets (batman, Capt America, etc) for only 40 cents each. Stick a couple in my purse and the next time we have to wait anywhere, instant entertainment. And, I could not resist a pair of Mario sunglasses that included his red hat and a dangling black moustache ... not for me, stop laughing!! Lots of fun!

This store relocated recently to St. Albert Trail from 137 Ave. Although I only shopped at the old…read morelocation once or twice, I can't really compare the differences. I really like the new location as there is lots of parking, the store is spacious and bright inside and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The wall on the right side of the entrance changes with difference themes periodically. The store is laid out so there is lots of room to look around without getting in other people's way. The paper is displayed by theme along with stickers and embellishments. They carry some unique papers like printed acetate. Ink, markers, ribbon, stamps and die cuts are located near the back of the store. What I was so excited about was to see stamped images on watercolour paper. There was a selection of different images and greetings for cards, each sheet was $1.79. The images can be coloured with Copic markers, watercolour pencils or aqua painters. You cannot walk in and not buy anything. If you spend over ten dollars and you get one scrap buck which does not expire. They offer Saturday crops as well as the occasional weekend crop. Sign up on their email list and receive store info!

The place is very bright and clean with an okay selection - it's definitely not the biggest that I've seen but I think you would get by for a project that you were working on. I love the idea of scrapbooking/creating and enjoying coffee at the same time - I didn't have a coffee though as I was on a mission for my letters! The customer service was lacking though as I asked for help finding anything with letters - stickers, stencils, anything. The lone employee told me that she was pretty sure they didn't have anything. I looked through the store and I found two separate packs of letter stickers and she was surprised when I brought them to the till. I get that you may not always know what's in stock, but I would have expected an employee to come out from behind the till (when she wasn't serving anyone at the time) to double check a few places where she may have seen the product I was seeking in the past. This store is out of the way for me on the north end of the City but it is conveniently located just off St. Albert Trail.

OK, I'm a Scrap-a-holic and Urban Scrapbook is a fabulous place to get my fix…read more Urban Scrapbook is a scrapbook supply store just off 118 avenue and 142 street. I've been getting inspiration and supplies here for nearly 5 years. It has, in my opinion, the best selection and prices for scrapbooking products in Edmonton. Their products and supplies turn over at a quick pace and as such you aren't stuck with the same themes and embellishments every time you go. Not to mention the size of their stock increases monthly! You may get overwhelmed when you walk in due to the amount of products they have, but will quickly be put at ease with the assistance and guidance from Urban's helpful and friendly staff. A children's area is available with toys and a TV so you can shop without distraction if you bring your kids. A layout area is available so you can go in with your pictures and choose products to complete your layout right there. Urban Scrapbook also offers numerous workshops and cropping sessions throughout the month and over the year. I recommend becoming a member of Urban Scrapbook which entitles you to discounts on product, specials, and "ins" on upcoming workshops. By being a member you also receive weekly newsletters filling you in on hot new product and upcoming workshops, events and important things in a scrapbookers life. Urban Scrapbook has a well lit, large crop room at the back of the store with ample room for cropping groups. They also provide dye cuts templates to help you with your creations. Now, don't get me wrong, Urban Scrapbook isn't just about scrapbooking. It basically sells anything to do with paper and paper crafts. It's a wonderful place to start if you're thinking about making invitations of any sort. Happy Scrapbooking!

If you love scrapbooking as a hobby, you will love this place. I stumbled upon it online, and made…read moreit my mission to seek this place out. It's a bit hard to find, located in an industrial area of the city, and it's kind of small next to the big Fabricland store right beside it, but it's worth the visit if you're an avid scrapbooker! I was overwhelmed stepping into the store, I didn't know where to start. They have everything you need for scrapbooks and other craft projects, including rows and rows of stickers and rub-ons, chipboards, paints, brads, and crafting tools. There's also an entire wall of cardstock paper in all kinds of beautiful colours and patterns. While they had everything one could possibly need for any project, some of the items were a bit pricey, even for a scrapbooking store, I would say. So be selective with your items, because you can get certain ones for cheaper elsewhere. That being said, be sure to check out the back, as that's where all their clearance stuff is currently stocked at half price. I found some really cool cardstock paper back there for really cheap. They also have a room in the back where they hold their craft and scrapbooking classes. You can sign up via their website; I think one usual session is about $20. They also have examples of projects throughout the store, so you can get an idea of what they make. And there's a small play room for kids right beside the entrance, for moms who want to take their time getting stuff but can't find a babysitter. Sign up for their points system and get 10% off once you reach 200 points, which shouldn't be too hard cause this place is awesome!

It's located in…read morethe same building as The Leduc Coffee Shop (coffee shop is to the left when you walk in and Magpie's is on the right). Magpie's is great because it's a store that features unique items. Everything here from local (Leduc, Beaumont ad Edmonton area) artisans and producers. There's a huge variety of gifts here, kitchen stuff, jewellery, art, bath products, and greeting cards. They also have a nice selection of kids toys as well. I always enjoy popping into Magpie's to see what's new because the vendors change every once in a while (maybe every few months). It's one of the stores where if you see something you like you'll want to buy it, because you can't be sure it'll be there next time. But the one thing that always stands out to me is the staff. Everything I've come in the person working is very friendly and helpful. One time I came in and talked to the lady working about needing to find a thank you card for a friend I was going to visit in Vancouver. Came in a few weeks later to look for something else and the same lady remembered me and asked how my trip to Vancouver was. Super friendly staff, really cool unique products that support local artisans and craftspeople is always a win. If you're in Leduc make sure to stop into Magpie's.
