Fantastic place to find gifts for booze lovers. I got my hubby a travel size hot toddy kit (he always get s the cold when we travel) and I got myself scotch stirrers for whisky cocktails. I was lucky to find those in the sale but most items are on the pricey side. Totally worth it though - a lot of these things I've never seen in the one place. Since I'm not a Toronto resident, I was delighted to hear the ship worldwide so I'll continue shopping at Cocktail Emporium from afar!

In its previous incarnation it was one of my favourite places to visit and pick up something beautiful for a wedding or birthday gift. And now that is even more true. Stepping in off busy Queen West into the new space is like walking into another world. Its all fresh and white and soft but bright colours. And so many beautiful things to look at and covet. Cambie still offers many of its classic items - soft alpaca blankets from Peru, locally made candles, and blue sage for example - but now they've got a whole new pack of items on offer as well. Most notable is the addition of Moroccan textiles and some other locally made pottery. It's an eclectic mix that offers inspiration and I dare you to leave without a desire to go back.

The duvet cover I was looking for was out of stock but they ordered it for me and it was ready for pick up the next day.

I rarely write reviews, but I highly recommend Gina's for any bedding, bath and home linen needs. So glad I found this store. Fantastic customer service!

This Living Lighting store has a good selection, though it's necessarily a bit cramped inside. Interestingly, they also do repairs on lighting fixtures, which is helpful when the reading lamp you get elsewhere shorts out somewhere inside; a repair is cheaper, and saves you from rethinking the decor when you can't replace the exact model which no one makes anymore.

I've been such a fan of their products, and it was great to see their full selection on view! We were only browsing today but their products aren't the cheapest, but they aren't the most expensive either. My sister asked the sales associate if they sold water, as it was quite hot this day, and since they didn't sell refreshments they offered to refill out bottle! It was so sweet of her. I do purchase their products, so will be sure to look at their hanging shelves when I'm back home!

I am a huge fan of Umbra. My very first Umbra purchase was a huge, round mirror that I bought in…read moreWinnipeg from a store in Osborne Village. My friend and I carried it from this store to my apartment, roughly two blocks away. It was that heavy, but it was a minimalistic, practical item that looked good in a tiny space. Over a decade ago, I used to attend musicals in the entertainment district. I would often visit the Umbra store before a show. I got everything from the Bungee to photo frames. To this day, I travel with a Bungee, which stores various US credit cards and currency. I often swap them out with my Canadian ones when I'm am stateside, and vice-versa when I return home. The bungee part has never weakened after all these years. There isn't any parking by this store. I had parked across the street under Shoppers Drug Mart. I walked over to check this store out. It felt the same, except that the top floor is now a clearance section. I was so happy. I love penguins have been a fan of Umbra's penguin liquid soap pump since its inception in 2008. This clearance section had a modern version of the penguin pump dispenser, including an automatic version. These dispensers were 50% off. I got one of each. The only item that I didn't like was a coiled stool. It was not comfortable sitting on it. It was in the clearance section. Only folks who want to replace the coiled top with a comfortable cushion would be inclined to buy one. This store is kind of like a museum. It was fun seeing when items were first introduce by year and how they have endured. The Bungee and penguin pumps are two such items. It was nice seeing jewellery racks and vessels for plants and more. I tend to get inspired sprucing up my place whenever I see Umbra products. Strumba caught my attention, which is Umbra's version of the kalimba. If I didn't own a kalimba already, I would have bought the Strumba. It's a fun, small instrument to play. There's so much coolness at this store. Doorstoppers. Chess sets. Shoe racks. Tipsy bottle openers to match the sipper. I had the nicest man at the checkout. I paid with a credit card. He placed my items in a paper bag with handles and came out of his area to hand it to me. It was such a classy move and was a nice touch. I wished him a great evening. He reciprocated. I left happy with my clearance items. I hope to not wait over a decade to return to this store. Of note, my soap dispensers are awesome. (389)
