Crazed Christmas Shopping
See All Lists
1. Woozles Childrens Bookstore
Woozles is to educational books and toys, what Freak Lunchbox is to candy. Walking into its charming location filled with small treasure trove rooms really makes me want to be a kid all over again - and if you saw me as a kid, you'd know that it…More »
2. Aldo
Admist a mall of long waits and inattentive staff, Aldo gave me the quick in-and-out experience that I needed to cap off a successful Christmas shopping day. Staff seemed legitimately eager to help customers, even put off by the fact that all I came…More »
3. Canadian Tire
Standard fare for this home hardware chain although I can't help but feel that this location is a bit dingier than others. Shopping there feels like you're walking in just after its been ransacked by a hoard of sale shoppers. All in all though, the…More »
4. The Source
Don't come here during the Christmas rush. The store location is too small to get around or even breathe in, customers are generally shopping for things they don't understand for their teenagers and have a ton of questions, and each staff member…More »
5. Danier Leather
Despite being one of the calmer stores in the mall, the well-staffed shop couldn't seem to keep up with the few customers in the store.
I went in for leather gloves and had to search around for them on my own hoping that an employee would point me in…More »
6. HMV
Brittney K. is totally right - this store seems to always amass HUGE line-ups. We're talking twenty-some people already waiting by the time I walked in at 3pm on a Monday. While the staff seemed to be working hard to get through it all, the situation…More »
7. The Bay
Dartmouth, NS B3A 4N3
(902) 469-6680
The clothing selection here is nothing to get excited about. While they try to boast designer lines, most of their product is very plain or dated despite still having the elevated price tag for Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, etc. They may not realize…More »
8. Shoppers Drug Mart
With so many brand new Shoppers Drug Mart locations in metro, it's funny that ones like this can still survive. They have the bare minimum compared to other locations, missing out on the potential to expand their beauty and cosmetics departments to…More »
9. Sock It To Ya
This place is such a little throwback to old-time downtown shopping. It's teeny tiny, staffed by usually just one person, and occasionally has a 'Back in ten!' sign up on the window as that person grabs lunch. Add on the fact that all purchases are…More »
10. Running Room Canada
I'll start by saying I'm not a runner, I don't want to be a runner, and I will never be a runner. Any activity meant to get you in better shape that involves the constant jiggling of all areas you hope the activity will eventually keep from jiggling…More »
11. Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation
Big, beautiful and expertly staffed with friendly employees who are always more than ready to lens a hand or give a recommendation. From locating the unicorn of wines (the Apothic Red) or offering suggestions during failed Nova 7 runs, you'll walk…More »
