I don't know why so many towns feature Christmas shops, or how most year-round Christmas stores…read morestay afloat. What I do know is that Tis the Season thrives because it sells fudge. Any time we walk by it is consistently packed with tourists fiending for fudge. Excellent marketing ploy, Tis. Husband and I pick up tree ornaments as souvenirs on all our trips -- it's a fun, if super dorky, way to keep track of our travels, and we love reliving them in the dead of depressing winter. So we stopped in a few summers ago to find a Muskoka bauble for our tanenbaum. Tis' Christmas inventory is vast obviously, since it's all they sell (aside from the aforementioned fudge, of course), and varied. But I wish they had more Muskoka specific ornaments; there's only a few and it seems Tis could benefit from some more. We did find a pretty hand-painted glass one we liked here a couple summers ago. And when it broke last Christmas, we were able to score the same one to replace it this summer. But now there's no reason to go back. Unless we're dying for rocky road fudge or some butterfingers drops the ornament again.

When I find myself in the area, and looking to buy jewelry, this is the place I come to…read more Their staff are great and really friendly. Their prices are very reasonable. Their silver chains are not overpriced - which they could be, because if you've committed to the charm, you've likely already decided that the cost of the chain doesn't matter all that much. But, it's better quality than Walmart at a very similar price. And, with far more options. They have a number of different designs they rotate through, and there have been some that I wanted but didn't get at the right time. Sometimes I see what I want on a necklace, but as earrings. Though, I suspect I could just make a request? That said, there's always been something else that caught my eye. It makes a great memento of Canada, and the North. Their windswept trees are superb designs. And if you want pirate rings? Yeah, they have them, too.

It would be difficult to describe our purchase of a Temperpedic from Mattresses of Muskoka as…read moreanything less than a complete disaster. Without getting into nitty gritty details they: * Gave us a different mattress than the mattress we purchased * Placed that mattress in the mattress cover of the mattress we *did* purchase (see what they did there? Fraud, anyone?) * Set up our mattress upside down (so the memory foam was on the bottom - I didn't notice for months, until a back ache made me unzip the mattress cover (and detect the fraud)) * After a year of pestering them and threatening legal action, they finally replaced the incorrect mattress...with another mattress that was different than the one we originally purchased. * Set up the mattress on a non-approved base, which just broke last month. The legs literally folded over and the mattress sunk in the middle. Yes, we paid for an official Temperpedic base. (So, if you're counting, that's a second fraud). I had an even more scathing review posted on Google for the year I pestered them, but I agreed to take it down if they replaced our mattress. But now there's the issue with the frame as well. So, MoM, if you're listening (and I'm sure you are): I will (once again) take this review down if/when I receive a refund for the Tempur base that we purchased. I'd also like a refund for the difference between what you charged us, and what the replacement mattress you gave us cost. If this review is still up, the reader can know that Mattresses of Muskoka continues to stand behind their frauds, and has not yet refunded us as requested. You probably don't want to be next, right?
