Bought many cute and interesting souvenirs for friends. They have many local artist brands you can find. If you or your friends love cats - definitely is a good place to buy souvenir because they have many products with cats print!
I really wanted to love this store! I had visited from the east end to pick up a special card they had listed as available for curbside delivery. Upon arrival, I couldn’t find the card on the shelves. The lady I had spoken to took a look through the shelves and briefly rifled through the supply stock. She called it a “stupid animal card” to her coworker, and said it wasn’t available. I came from the other side of the city for this card, and was really disappointed she wasn’t able to find it. I ended up asking another coworker, who upon looking through the same supply stock, was able to find the card. It’s a lovely store with a ton of unique products, but that lady left a really bad taste in my mouth.
Lots of fun unique stuff, cute things, funny things, novelty gifts, mugs, tarot cards, stickers, books, candles, nick nacks. A great place for gifts:) 🎁 Staff are friendly and welcoming.
2025 April 4★ A nice little cute shop with two and half narrow aisles of products. Some are very unique and distinct. If you're into nicnaks and things, this novelty store is for you. Items you'll find include: cups, mugs, plates, soap, cards, books, magnets, games, toys, stuffed animals, baby items, etc. Interesting to check out if you're in the market to pick up something unique.
I wish I discovered this place sooner because it’s such a fun little place to visit, especially if you are looking for gifts. I love how you get all things funny & cute && the price point is so affordable. I got myself a hilarious sticker for my laptop (check out my stories to see) & I knew I couldn’t leave it in the store. . . . 📍 @outerlayer - 577 Queen St W, Toronto. 🤌🏽 Prices starting from $3 + 👀 Novelty gifts, Canadian Souvenir & so much more!
