Buy for me, or buy for other people. Whatever floats your boat :) Gifts should be things that people would never buy for themselves but really really want. This is exactly what these stores represent.

 1. One Of A Kind Show And Sale

100 Princes' Blvd
Toronto, ON M6K

5.0 star rating
  4/22/2010

I love this semi-annual show and sale. I only realized that it's meant to be a 'craft' show, with original artisans with their products and most of them are useful and decorative 'art'. But yet, it's so much more than that.

Everything is or should be…More »

If you're looking for gifts, this is the place to go.

I always love gift stores. Small things that I would never buy on my own, but want so badly. My boyfriend runs around the store in about 5 mins and finds me back at the first booth area wondering…More »

I have a hard time coming in here without wanting to buy something, or leaving with. They also are usually fully stocked with staple items I can't seem to easily find anywhere else (for gifts, for myself)
- purse hangers
- girly business card holders…More »

This is a different type of gift store than the one across the street (Drysdale and Co). Stuff in here is mostly girly girl stuff, and usually if I can't find anything in Drysdale, I come here.
Tons of jewellery and scented stuff to choose from. I…More »

I miss this place. I used to work downtown, and I would always frequent here if I need a gift for someone, or to get some Lampe Berger products. They also have incredible sales, some are the sidewalk sales, or some secret, and only if you are on…More »

This little gift store on Violet Hill is so cute! If I didn't have my boyfriend there with me, or live in an small apartment, I would have spent a fortune!

It's like the modern general store. In terms of gifts, and home decor, anything you can find…More »

I love this hidden gift store on the Yonge Strip. We came by it after brunch and I love this small store full of goodies! You have things on the floor to ceiling book shelves full of unique gifts and jewelery. So many things to see! So many things…More »

The blankets from Admiral Road are the perfect gift for your little one or someone you know.

For some reason I also thought this was a Soap and Bath store + some gifts. Maybe that was my visit about 5 years ago, but it's definitely not.

Yes there are soaps and bath products (notable a huge collection of Burt's Bees - I bought the hard to…More »
