Locally owned, independent stores that I seriously heart.

 1. Duly Noted Stationery

1459 Brenton St
Halifax, NS B3J 3S7
(902) 446-5605
5.0 star rating
  3/27/2011

I am inordinately fond of all things stationary. It was the best part of back to school shopping.  I adore a good pen and a heavy weighted paper. And Duly Noted understands just how I feel about those things.  

They carry some of my favourite brands…More »

4.0 star rating
  6/9/2011 ROTD 8/16/2011 First to Review

If you were to take all of my favourite things - letterpress, ampersands, stationery, tote bags, pugs, kittens, cupcakes and well-designed things - and shove them all into one space, you'd come up with Inkwell.  

I stopped  in while they were still…More »

Halifax, NS B3J 2J6
(902) 423-7626
5.0 star rating
  2/4/2011

I love this store so much - and I don't even have kids. I come here to buy gifts for the little and big people in my life. It's my go-to place for books for all the rugrats I know and I buy playmobil for adults. I love finding the books that I loved…More »

5.0 star rating
  3/18/2011

I liked the old location better (it was a great venue for events), but I really dig that they are on Barrington Street now. The big street front windows shout, "hey! we have art in here!" and you feel like you can go in and browse. Sure, you could…More »

Halifax, NS B3J 3Z3
(902) 423-6053

Category: Candy Stores

4.0 star rating
  10/3/2011

Being at Sugah! is literally like being a kid in a candy story. It's a candy store! Full of chocolates they make themselves! And ice cream they make! And then they'll put the stuff they make into that ice cream!

Does this review warrant all the…More »

1546 Barrington St
Halifax, NS B3J
(902) 425-5566
4.0 star rating
  10/10/2011

I still can't get the name of this store straight. I still call it Loomis & Toles. Corporate offices for DeSerres probably hate me. Whatevs, I'm not good with change.

Anyway, I like to pretend at being an artist. You know, I paint, but I don't show…More »

Category: Bookstores

5.0 star rating
  10/10/2011

I'll admit, I usually pop in here to avoid the rain/cold when I'm waiting for a bus. But every time I do, I think, "why don't I come here more often?". I miss their $2 magazine rack, but I still love this store. Friendly staff and a great selection…More »

Halifax, NS B3J 1Z4
(902) 429-5667
5.0 star rating
  10/10/2011

My love for the Loop knows no bounds. If you love fibre art (knitting, felting, crocheting, whatevering), this is your heaven. The owners are some of the nicest people ever (passionate about fibre arts and our downtown) and the shelves are full of…More »

4.0 star rating
  4/16/2012

Biscuit is an absolute gem of a store and has been a favourite of mine since I first moved to Halifax ten years ago and would go there for fun and quirky postcards.

I love their commitment to bringing fun and unique clothing and giftware to the city…More »
