Souvenirs du Lys (loosely translated to "Memories of the Lily") is one of the most voluminous gift…read moreshops you're likely to find in Q City. For those unaware, this store is an extension of the "du Lys" brand that includes Québec Urbain (see my earlier review), Boutique Expression, Boutique Mouche à feu (jewelry and fashion accessories), Boutique Frada (women's fashions) ... all within, literally within a 250-meter radius of each other. Je te chie pas. This kind of voluminousity lends itself to a lot of good stuff: Hoodies, shirts, socks, stocking caps, baseball caps, sports team gear (defunct-team-heavy, Nordiques and Expos), wallets, jewelry, magnets, toys, shoes, bags, pillows, license plates, mugs, glasses, and a whole bunch more. MANY items have the requisite "Canada" and red maple leaf on them. They also show plenty of Quebecois spirit with an abundance of items with Azure blue & four fleur-de-lis' that make up the Province's famed flag. Souvenirs du Lys, oddly enough, seems to also try to compete with 365-day-a-year Christmas store La Boutique de Noël de Québec ... yes, during my visits in JUNE, they have a section with Christmas stuff. Also check out their totem poles and other indigenous souvenirs ... good stuff. While some prices are eyes-popping-emoji high, if you want to see a lot of high-quality souvenirs, give a visit to Souvenirs du Lys.

So much cool swag, it's one of those places that sell stuff you only see online and wished your…read morelocal store would carry. We picked up some crazy mugs, creature cake molds, and a bunch of other stuff. The staff is so friendly and super helpful which was a bonus. You can even shop with them online if you can't make it out to Quebec.

Located in the Quartier du Petit Champlain -- the very pretty commercial district of Québec City in…read morewhat is known as the Vieux-Québec-Cap-Blanc-colline Parlementaire - is the relatively new shop, La Malle Aux Souvenirs. It's philosophy of "perfect gifts in all price ranges" is spot on, at least as far as ALL price ranges. If you've got several C-notes to spend on intricate models of 18th Century sailboats ... or want to spend just a few bucks on a small jug of pure-Canadian Maple Syrup, La Malle Aux Souvenirs is your place. While we English-speakers think of "souvenirs" as meaning kitschy stuff we buy from gift shops on vacation, the French word actually means "memories" ... La Malle Aux Souvenirs is loosely translated as "The Trunk of Memories." It is an apt name, as the things you will buy here are not trinkets, but memories. In other words, high quality. If you want high-quality local condiments, jams, and vinegars, you'll find the best of Délices de l'Ile D'Orléans products on La Malle Aux Souvenirs' shelves. Essentially translated, "Delights of Orleans Island" brings the vibe and flavor of the isle that hugs Quebec City. Savonnerie des Diligences, the Austin, Québec soap-maker with the beautiful scents and dynamic illustrations on their packaging can be found at La Malle Aux Souvenirs in abundance. And maple syrup and other maple products .... boy do they bring it! Not only is it 100% Canadian, but most of it comes from Québec. This includes Coaticook, Québec's famed La Ferme Martinette line of high-quality maple syrups, sugars, and other maple-based products. Also, if you're into glass figurines, especially colorful ones of all kinds of animals, you'll want to make a stop in here. And then the usual souvenir-shop faves like stuffed animals, flags, bags, and clothes emblazoned with "Canada" or "Québec." But since there is such high-quality stuff, most of it I haven't seen in other gift shops throughout Québec City. If you want to make a "Trunk of Memories" from your time in Québec, La Malle Aux Souvenirs is a great place to start! MY BAD FRENCH TRANSLATION OF THE REVIEW: Situé dans le Quartier du Petit Champlain, le très joli quartier commercial de la ville de Québec, dans ce qu'on appelle le Vieux-Québec-Cap-Blanc-colline Parlementaire, est la boutique relativement nouvelle, La Malle Aux Souvenirs. C'est la philosophie de "cadeaux parfaits dans toutes les gammes de prix" est spot sur, au moins aussi loin que toutes les gammes de prix. Si vous avez plusieurs c-notes à dépenser sur des maquettes complexes de voiliers du 18ème siècle ... ou si vous voulez dépenser quelques dollars dans une petite cruche de sirop d'érable canadien pur, La Malle Aux Souvenirs est votre endroit. Alors que nous, anglophones, pensons que "souvenirs" signifie des trucs kitsch que nous achetons dans des boutiques de souvenirs en vacances, le mot français signifie en fait "souvenirs" ... La Malle Aux Souvenirs se traduit par "le tronc des souvenirs"."C'est un nom approprié, car les choses que vous allez acheter ici ne sont pas des babioles, mais des souvenirs. En d'autres termes, de haute qualité. Si vous souhaitez des condiments, confitures et vinaigres locaux de haute qualité, vous trouverez le meilleur des Délices de l'Ile d'Orléans sur les rayons de La Malle Aux Souvenirs. Essentiellement traduit, "délices de L'Île D'Orléans" apporte l'ambiance et la saveur de l'île qui embrasse la ville de Québec. Savonnerie des Diligences, la Savonnerie D'Austin, au Québec, avec ses belles senteurs et ses illustrations dynamiques sur son emballage, se trouve en abondance à la Malle Aux Souvenirs. Le sirop d'érable et d'autres produits de l'érable .... boy, ils l'apportent de! Non seulement est-il 100% Canadien, mais la plus grande partie provient du Québec. Il s'agit notamment de Coaticook, la célèbre gamme de sirops d'érable, de sucres et d'autres produits à base d'érable de la Ferme Martinette, au Québec. Aussi, si vous êtes en verre, figurines, surtout colorés de toutes sortes d'animaux, vous aurez envie de faire un arrêt ici. Et puis, les boutiques de souvenirs habituelles aiment les animaux en peluche, les drapeaux, les sacs et les vêtements ornés de "Canada" ou "Québec"."Mais comme il y a des articles de grande qualité, je n'en ai pas vu la plupart dans les autres boutiques de cadeaux de la ville de Québec. Si vous voulez faire un "coffre de souvenirs" de votre séjour au Québec, La Malle Aux Souvenirs est un excellent point de départ!
