I spent a lot of money at Gymboree and earned Gym Bucks that the store did not honour. When I…read moreexplained the situation to both a staff person and manager they did absolutely nothing. I have spent money at the store quite a few times and was very put off that they were not helpful at all. I did not feel valued as a customer. I was very dismayed at the customer service. I have a son (who is seven that I have been shopping at the store since he was a newborn) and am expecting my second child and have a lot of pregnant friends as well as friends who have just had babies. I will definitely be sharing this horrible experience with mentioned friends. As this pregnancy is our first daughter I have been doing probably a little too much baby girl clothes shopping at a variety of stores and have never had such a terrible experience at any other store. Will not be going back to Gymboree.

(There's 3 locations in Canada - Vancouver, Victoria and Calgary which all opened in December 2009). Why am I writing a review on the Lululemon spin-off for kids clothing? Well, it's AWESOME for small petite gals who have to get everything hemmed at Lululemon! Sizes go up to size 12 kids here which is great if you're a size 4 or smaller at Lululemon. The pants here are the right length for petites but honestly, you'd need to have no hips/really boyish body for them to really fit well. I can get them on, but it's not pretty. The hoodies are another story though. For those of us who are smaller on top too, the kids hoodies have sleeves that are the right length and the jackets aren't too long on me. Definitely a cute stop for trendy kids yoga wear and for shorties like me! And I save about $20 by wearing kids clothes too :) Yay!

I have now unsubscribed 8 times, but continue to get 4 emails per day. I sent them an email a week ago and received no response. I called them yesterday and was put on hold for 36 minutes, then a recording came on asking if I was satisfied with the service, I indicated that I was not, then they the call disconnected. I then sent them another email outlining the same info contained here, and also advised that it is not legal to force email advertisements on their customers and that I found them harassing in nature. I then received a bounce back email advising that a representative would be contacting shortly. They have not contacted me and I continue to receive 4 emails per day. So frustrating, sigh...

To date, I'm quite happy with the purchase of an adorable striped cotton/linen dress and a silk screen scarf with a distinctive hare pattern that I'm constantly getting complimented on. I had a ton of fun in here trying things on and looking around. The customer service was incredibly friendly, but not pushy or aggressive. To be honest, I feel like a lot of boutique shops in Victoria have a snobby "you're not good enough to be in my shop" attitude, and it was so refreshingly lovely not to encounter any of that here. I'm a fan.

My friend & I came up to Victoria for the weekend. It was my first town in this city & found it to…read morebe similar to home-- Portland! I was browsing Yelp for some boutiques & some Ma & Pa shops. Honestly, this one caught my attention solely because of it's adorable & "easy-going" sounding name. Milkman's Daughter? Adorable! Sounds like a shop I would love to visit. It was not even a block away from the cafe we were enjoying coffee. Appealing storefront & we were warmly greeted (and compliment) by the nice gal working that day! I felt welcomed & comfortable browsing the shop. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything neither was I made to feel inferior as some boutiques may make some people feel. They got some lovely local products, handmade stuff of all sorts. Also, they have clothing for babies, toys, adorable books & toys! There is definitely something for everyone in here. I recommend popping in yourself & paying them a visit!

The Hatley store has been a favourite shopping/browsing stop for us during our Victoria stays this…read moreyear. The store offers such a great selection of quality made, and fun to wear clothing for sleeping, lounging, and so much more, for women, men, and children. I first discovered Hatley sleep and lounge wear products here in Burnaby, via another retail store handling some of their offerings. My lady and daughter have enjoyed several of my purchases as gifts for birthdays, holidays, and some buys made just for those 'thinking-of-you', and for the 'fun-of-it' times. The long, sleeping and lounging shirts, down booties, and such sure lend well to those last two occasions! The Hatley store in Victoria was the first time I had actually seen a full-range of their products displayed and sold in their own store - and wow, what a difference - so much to see and be able to consider. And such great fun for the three of us to browse through all the colourful and amusing designs. On our most recent visit (late-April), I took note of some great potential gift ideas for them (a couple for me too!) for upcoming events. A fine little shop, with friendly and helpful service. I will have a shopping list in hand when we get back to Victoria and the Hatley store this fall.

I happened upon this shop while visiting Victoria. I was searching for vintage clothing on Yelp;…read morewhile this shop is not vintage, I'm glad it popped up. My boyfriend doesn't often shop for casual clothes so it was a nice treat for him to get such attentive customer service. The gentleman working was happy to give feedback and picked out some nice pieces while speaking about the quality of items they bring in. Most of the items are either made local or sweatshop free in the USA. This is the kind of quality I want to spend money on and is generally a deciding factor when I make any purchase. I also wanted to speak about the simplicity of the decor and layout of the shop. Great merchandising as it really draws the eye in. They also sell some quality accessories including footwear, bags, ties and sunglasses. We will certainly be back when we visit the island again.

I only went through with it because my girlfriend said it was the best fitting t-shirt she'd ever seen on me (though I have to say I think she's right). Thumbs down on the lighting in the change room though. Someone should probably fix this.
