I am so grateful for this beautiful store, thankfully right in my neighbourhood! In this day and…read moreage when so many are just "clicking" a purchase online, ... it feels so wonderful to to be able to see it, touch it and treasure it immediately. I love to shop local and seeing so many Canadian products that the store promotes is refreshing to say the least. Having a small business in this day and age is extremely hard and I applaud this store for it's longevity in the village, they have been there since as long as I can remember. Obviously the owner has an amazing talent for choosing very unique items and I have purchased many gifts but usually also walk out with some beautiful clothing or jewelry for myself as well lol ... also always enjoy the friendly staff who have on many occasions steered me in the right direction and then to top it off, gift wrapped my selection too! Win Win all the way! PS the new Houston Llew tile selection is amazing.

It surprises me that more people don't know about little 'ol "Newport Village" in Port Moody. When…read moreit was in it's first phase in the late '90's it was dubbed a "Little Whistler." Wish On A Star fits in perfectly with the life of the village. Lots of great gifts for any occasion. Pet, guys, wedding, baby, bath, body and of course furnishings adorn this store. The best part is that all of the gifts are wrapped with lovely scented potpourri, tissue and ribbons. If you buy a gift from here, it will likely be the one on the gift table that's admired while the recipient carefully opens and saves the wrapping to use again. And if that wasn't enough, there's two love birds that live in a cage, chirping away while you admire all of the lovelies.

Every time I wonder into this store I get the biggest surge of happiness factor. There's so many…read moregreat things in here & honestly, I could spend an hour browsing through cards, travel mugs, stationary, refillable supplies, skin care, small gifts, etc. If you enjoy creating a hygge vibe at home, this is your store. First time I walked in here, I needed to replace my travel mug. I found the most practical yet high end tea mug (that could also work for coffee) but also walked out with several other things. The most recent trip to PoMo, I stopped for another tin of salve (from a Indigenous BC business) that helps with my layers of pain management. The staff are always wonderful to chat with & if you like this store, definitely walk a little further. It's worth checking out the bigger sister store too (that one has more items focused towards kitchen & home function). However, if you're looking for quick gifts or just a shot of happiness finding that little item, this is the store for you.

Asian mall in the Coquitlam Centre vicinity…read more Parking is available on the roof of the mall. There's a ramp from the SE corner on Lincoln. This place reminds me of International Village in Downtown Vancouver. Almost looks like it was designed by the same company. Very similar looking signage and layout. Stores and a supermarket along the basement floor, and food court in the central 2nd floor. Interestingly, the general emptiness of the mall also reminds me of International Village. The food court looks pretty decent. Plenty of seating. Not sure if the place would be a shopping destination, but it's more of a food destination if one is in the area.

After living in Vancouver so long, I totally forgot about this mall existing. This mall opened 20…read moreyears ago. It was built by a rich HK businessman: Henderson Lee who also built Tinseltown. The layout of this mall is pretty similar to Tinseltown. I came here recently and I see how run down this mall has become. It is so old and neglected. The exterior paint was the original. Nothing has change much after it was built (other than it looking older and more run down). After Covid, looks like lots of store has closed. They have a food court in the mall on the second floor and it seems like that is where most of the customers hangout. I came on a Saturday at around 3 pm and it was pretty quiet.

I have to say, when I called my mother today, she opened the gift basket and said it was so beautifully wrapped with care, the contents were incredible and of exceptional quality and I personally felt so much pride that I had chosen this company. I will highly recommend to everyone I know. Thank you so much for all of the extra special touches. It means a lot to me to know that companies like this exist in my home town. Rosalia

This artisan gift shop is located in the PoMoArts building/gallery on St Johns Street in the heart…read moreof Port Moody, and despite its small size, it sure packs a punch! I'm a sucker for museum gift shops and artisan fairs, where you can browse and/or purchase unique artsy items and occasionally meet and chat with the artists who created them. This gift shop embodies all that, and more. The store carries a diverse selection of art items, from gorgeous greeting cards created by paper artists and painters and photographers, to ceramic tile coasters with BC photographs fused onto them, to ceramics to textiles to jewelry. When I visited I also saw some lovey contemporary glass pieces, from small pocket hearts to larger serving platters. I really liked how this shop focused on the works of local artists. I like supporting local talents and local businesses. I also really liked how, unlike some museums or art gift shops, here their items for sale ranged in price from $5 and up, making many of the beautiful items available and accessible to folks on any budget. I really appreciated that wide range of price points here. For example, I saw some gorgeous hand-made greeting cards with hand-made textile embellishments on them, signed on the back by the artist, for $4.95, and I've seen comparable artist-made greeting cards for double that price elsewhere. (Note: for many items here, though, the pricing is on par with similar artisan creations. I believe the pricing may be set by the artists themselves). As I was leaving the shop, I chatted a bit with the lady at the check-out counter, and I commented how lovely the shop is, how there's something here for practically anyone. She noted that they have a very popular "Christmas marketplace" coming up in November and December, and I have already put a return visit to PoMo to check it out!

They have lots of stuffies, dolls and puzzles etc. They don't have any of the popular movie or tv shows themed toys. It is a pretty big store right beside Nandos. Parking is available in front of the store.

A fun, alternative to big-box toy stores. Helpful staff, and unique product offerings…read more They carry many toys that are educational in nature such as puzzles, arts and crafts, models, science laboratory kits and building sets. I noticed that they didn't seem to carry (m)any violent toys for boys. I asked for Transformers, but they didn't have any. I also didn't notice G.I. Joe's or military themed toys. They did carry many plush animals and some dolls, although I don't remember seeing the typical Barbies. I noticed that they have lots of princess-themed toys for girls as I was shopping for my daughter. They also have a good selection of books, stickers and jewellery. I get the impression that Mastermind toys is not trying to compete with Toys R Us. Instead, they are trying to target parents looking for less mainstream toys and better customer service. That said, expect to pay a bit more. I bought something for $10 that I could have got at a dollar store.
