A really well rounded gift shop with a ton of variety. If you can't find a gift here, what are you…read moreeven doing? A number of items you see from popular brands like Knock Knock- sarcastic socks, notes with attitude, but also lots of stuff that looks locally inspired and / or local made. Home items, wedding, birthday, Calgary and Canada, jewelry, fun mugs. Books, the list goes on and on. Can't imagine what doing inventory here is like, but they have a really appealing and well rounded shop. Loved it!

I took a long walk around Calgary yesterday. It was a beautiful warm and sunny day and I wasn't…read moreabout to miss it. Interesting people were out, cute dogs were being walked by their owners, and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. Part of my stroll was down the "hip" Uptown area of 17th Avenue. What drew me into Steeling Home from my walk was an on sale desk fan that was displayed outside on a cute antique table. The price was right, but I knew darn well that it would be hard to get it in the suitcase for my eventual trip back to the San Francisco Bay Area. I might still change my mind on that.... Anyway, I decided to stroll around inside and really enjoyed exploring the many pockets of interesting stuff this relatively small store holds. It has books, antiques, jewelery, and much more in-between. The people watching was fun too, with a fresh touch of Portlandia thrown in. I'm glad I stopped in and reminded myself that marching around a new City is fun, and stopping to explore some of its quirks is even better.

Loved the place at first and was really excited.

Said I wasn't aloud to open anything.... I didn't open anything, I smelt a stick of incense. He Was very sassy and impolite. My friend immediately wanted to leave so we did. Had a nice selection of stuff, but staff ruined it. Also smelled really bad lol

I visited this location to look for some cheap stationary to fill with my cheap ideas…read more They had paper alright - lots of it, in fact - just none of the standard, 3-hole foolscap that I was looking for. No foolscap, but a whole lotta other stuff - toys and trinkets, household goods, lighters, and birthday cards. Cheap cards make sense - in this day and age of $5 Hallmarks filled with other people's words, why not buy an inexpensive card and fill it with your own genuine sentiments? A buck doesn't go very far these days, but you'll be surprised at how far it'll travel at the Loonie Plus.

Just went to Party City MacLeod Trail to purchase a Halloween costume that was listed on their…read morewebsite. Go there and they would not honor the price that was listed on the website even though the costume number matched. To make it worse, the Manager lied and said only the extra small costume was on sale which it clearly wasn't. The price was not the same on the website as in the store period. She didn't validate anything I said even when I showed her clearly on my phone. I've spent a lot of money in that store over the years and should have been treated like a valued customer. It was false advertising. Manager should take a customer service course.

Funny name. This store is fantastic for buying partying decorations of all ages…read more Well priced and lots and lots of inventories of different themes.

So now surprise ruined so I email her back asking what happened and she say sing sorry we had your gf's (Duy) under lee a guys name so we apologize but there is nothing we can do cause of the American dollar and tough times so we can't help you out or do anything as it's not our fault So yet I go pick up the pencils that now my gf paid for on her credit card and you call and the owner will come out and meet you but I get there and he comes out and only car there is a 2019 Range Rover..... tough times hey! They don't care about the customer just the all mighty dollar!

This Reid's is obviously run by tiny people as demonstrated by their Christmas decoration display…read morethat I had to dodge at every turn. What kind of place tries to strangle its customers? Anyway, the girls working the front end didn't have time for those kinds of questions. They were too busy discussing the necessity of obtaining more "squirrel stuff" for a new display. I have no goddamn idea what that meant, but they seemed quite passionate about the whole thing..... Reid's is confusing in a way. At the back is a very serious office supply shop with paper, nice pens, stationary, etc. At the front is a bunch of female junk (ornaments and figurines that possess no immediate use), mixed in with silly stuff like a "grow-your-own prostitute" and do-it-yourself drug test gum. This place is also crammed with as much stuff as could possibly fit in the place. Which means they have a decent selection of useful things and stuff that doesn't matter.... The back end offers high quality office items at slightly higher prices than some places, but it is quality.

I love that they finally have a Party City in the NW. It is located in Crowfoot in the same plaza…read moreas Shanks. Parking is right in front of the store. If your not familiar, they are a party store and carry everything that you may need for any kind of event. Everything from kids to adult and themed decorations. Very clean and organized store. Found all the items I needed for a Star Wars themed birthday party. Pricing is reasonable and staff are friendly at this location. If you need balloons they have such a huge variety too.

There were siblings dropped off by parents running errands, entire families doing projects, groups of girlfriends etc. Basically you choose a piece of pottery, then a color palette and BEGIN! The staff are rockstars. Seriously. Our kidlet is inquisitive and full of energy and they were kind and accommodating. I felt timid about requesting more colors and they insisted it was no problem fetching them. You leave the project to be fired in the kiln and pick it up (fairly quickly) after. I inquired about pricing before I went. As I look every night at my lantern when the timer LED candle goes in and I remember the fun we had, it feels totally worth it!
