1. Elephants Never Forget - CLOSED
No matter what your age, you'll feel like a kid again at Elephants Never Forget. Toy stores are a rare breed of shops these days, but this one brings back all the memories of when you were a kid, and combines them with new experiences too!
The store…More »
2. The Plaid Giraffe
I love this store, it's just so much fun being here! You can find great gifts here at the Plaid Giraffe. Some people might find the items generic, but I argue they are anything but. There are many items that your family and friends will most likely…More »
3. Instinct
Instinct is a relatively new shop in the Old Strathcona district, located around the corner near Hudson's Taphouse. They've got fairly odd hours for a shop, being open only on the weekends. But I'm glad I did today, because it was a real treat!

4. Red Ribbon
Edmonton, AB T5N 0M4
(780) 454-4336
Categories:
Accessories,
Men's Clothing,
Women's Clothing
When you first step into Red Ribbon, it can be a bit overwhelming because it's quite the feast for the eyes. Located underneath Starbucks in the High Street district (by stairwell), it's a trendy and funky little shop that is crammed with goodies.…More »
5. Le Papier - CLOSED
This is one of my favorite shops on Whyte. Le Papier is part gift shop, and part stationary and craft supplies shop. They carry unique knick-knacks for special gifts, along with all the supplies you need for handmade cards, scrapbooks, and albums.

6. Tin Box
This Tin Box is the newest location in the High Street district, and has been open for a couple months now. It's got the same neat items as the store on Whyte Ave, but this location has two levels. The first floor looks small, but there's a winding…More »
7. Chicken Scratch
I like to come to Chicken Scratch for gag gifts and other unexpected items. Whenever I think of this store, I think "rubber chickens", and indeed, they always have rubber chickens dangling from their ceiling.
They've got a great gift card selection,…More »
8. The Avenue Clothing Company
What I like about the Avenue Clothing Company is that they provide fashion for women of all ages. You can find style here whether you're in your 20's or 50's, or in between.
The Avenue Clothing Company carries clothing, jewelry, and accessories for…More »
9. Notables Stationers
Notables is one of my favorite shops in the High Street district. The very first time I came here, I felt like a schoolgirl on a field-trip. And I think I stood at the entrance for a good minute or so, just overcome with glee.
For anyone who loves…More »
10. Carol's Quality Sweets
Carol's Sweets is a haven for anyone who has a sweet tooth. It feels like an old-fashioned candy shop with a modern twist. There are candies in glass jars, instead of plastic bulk bins like at the grocery store. They also carry a lot of imported…More »
11. Eadem Essentials
Eadem is another good place to go for fashion or gifts if you are a more mature woman, or shopping for one. They normally have shoes and clothing for sale on their lower level, although it is currently closed for inventory. They have lots of…More »
12. Shambles Gift Shop
Edmonton, AB T5N 0M4
(780) 453-5123
Categories:
Flowers & Gifts,
Baby Gear & Furniture,
Home Decor
Shambles is a cute little shop where you can find home decor and gift items. It's very quiet and peaceful as soon as you step in, and you don't feel at all rushed or overwhelmed as you take your time looking around. They always have a great window…More »
