I went into Stork Avenue Boutique last week with my Mom, husband, and toddler in tote. The sales…read morelady was with another customer and we stayed for about 10 minutes wandering around the store. We were never acknowledged or greeted. The prices were high - but what I have come to expect from a boutique baby store. I found their selection below average in comparison to some of the other boutique baby stores in the area - West Coast Kids, Baby & Beyond, Princess & the Pea, etc. They were on a Groupon yesterday for a 50% off gift certificate. Usually I would jump at this to go try a new Baby Boutique store... but unfortunately, we didn't see any reason to return to this particular store.

I have to agree with the previous reviewer. I have been in 4-5 times…read more 1. The staff (young and old) was aloof and disinterested, bordering on rude, each and every time. 2. The selection is quite slim. 3. The prices are comparable to other boutique stores. 4. They don't answer their phone (I've been trying for 2 days--several times/ day) and their voicemail box is full. 5. The owner's (poorly-written) write-up of her own business explains a lot: stay-at-home mom with unfinished education who thought she'd give it a whirl. All the power to "mompreneurs" but this gal is clearly not a business woman or her clients would be happier. Not worth it.

Love LOVE love me some Sweet Boutique!…read more I've been shopping here since the days of parking lot chaos at their first location. Sweet Boutique recently celebrated their 5th birthday! I love their new location on St. Albert Trail next to BP's. (I think it's been almost 3 years here?) From their live WIW (Win It Wednesday) Facebook streams to their name of the day discount, Sweet Boutique knows how to court their regulars. They've got it all, from the softest leggings on the planet to the best jeans for every body type! I love that Sweet Boutique has something to help every woman feel her best. They even have something for the men in your life. Last year, I got sassy and funky dress socks for my kids' male teachers. The customer service is second to none and the vibe is cozy chic from the moment you walk through the door. Be sure to sign up for their free loyalty program to earn rewards!

We have shopped there in person twice and online once. Each time we shopped in person the staff has…read morebeen beyond helpful, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and have had a good eye for what colours and styles would be flattering on me, which is wonderful since I tend to be hard to fit. They have a wide selection of sizes, from XSmall to 3X. I'm about a size 24/3X and some of their 3X items are almost too big on me, which always makes me smile. The staff treats me with the same respect they give small to average size women, which in my experience doesn't happen often in a plus/regular mix size store. Along with clothing, they have accessories, fun items like socks and sweets, and a wall of personal care items like bath bombs, body cream, hand sanitizer, and aromatherapy. The owner, Laura, is an amazing member of the community who supports other small businesses and brought joy to my family at a rough time when we were missing a loved one. She wasn't asked, she just offered and we will always be thankful to her for her act of kindness.

Gymboree is an awesome store. It is perfect when you are looking for clothes for kids especially…read moregifts. They offer fashionable clothes for children and everything is pretty stylin'. They cater to all children, from babies to kids. Many kids are stuck with hand me downs so their clothes always look outdated. Every child hates hand me downs, and those children become adults and then they do the exact same thing to their kids. Gymboree is a store where you can do away with hand me downs and let a kid have their own personality.

The store space has high ceilings that add spaciousness to the assorted shelves and displays. The selection she has in this store is unique, the rare finds from vintage to up to date are very good quality. She has a little bit of everything, toys, books, games, clothing, outdoor toys, sensory, wall decor, starter plants, movies, kids furniture, so much more. She will even be your personal shopper if you know what you are looking for and she will set it aside. I personally like her selection of yoga and workout lulu lemon attire. Have fun and find your special item or drop off your gentle used things.

Exceptional customer service & variety!…read more I stopped by Karrie's Kostume & Supplies store on my way home from work tonight to check if they had my toddler's ballet clothing in stock - I was greeted by a professional and friendly young lady who quickly showed me the available options; I decided to come back later with my daughter to try the items in for size. .............................................................. 2 hours later: I returned to the store with my twirling and giggling toddler in tote. We were helped by Anne, who was exceptionally good with my daughter. My four year old has a hard time talking to strangers and will sometimes run away and hide when spoken to. Anne knew just how to charm my toddler and after trying on the approved leotard options for ballet class, my daughter insisted on showing "the nice lady," before making a final selection. My daughter discussed all her favorite Princesses and Halloween costume ideas for the coming year: LaLaLoopsy & Monster High, of course! Anne even asked my daughter if she would like to try on their LaLaLoopsy costume; to which my daughter lost her marbles and a costume show and Photoshoot immediately followed care of Mommy's iPhone. Anne even brought us upstairs (stairs are on the outside of the building) to the Costume floor where we marveled at the amazing Super Hero & Star Wars Costume selection! I just cannot get over the selection of dance, costumes for adults & kids, stage/costume makeup, wigs & more! Karrie's, you have made a fan out if me!

It's on the west end tucked away off Stony Plain road by the cemetery, kinda of a seedy area. I came here because my toddler was teething really bad and they carry the best teething oil for aches and pain. I ordered online and it was ready the next day for pickup. Once you get there and go upstairs it's filled with beautiful children's clothing and toys. I didn't see anything for children older than 2 though. It is on the pricier side so if your looking for "bougie" this is it. The staff at the front was very nice and friendly, she was on the phone and let me browse.

I love Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes. I've been bringing both my kids here since they were tiny,…read moreas it was the ONLY store I could find that would actually fit my kids' feet, and take the time to make sure they had growing room. They typically get my kids to try on at least 3 pairs of shoes/ sandals/ boots, watch them as they walk in them, and then tell me whether they think they're a good fit or not. I'm sad that my oldest is growing out of their sizes. As for price, yes, it's more expensive ... but you also have staff who actually know what they're doing, instead of just picking something off a rack yourself at Walmart. I would prefer to spend the extra, and know that someone has actually taken a look at my kids' feet and the support they need. As someone who has had lots of issues with my own feet, including fallen arches, this is vitally important to me. I have never had issues with anyone here being rude to me. Busy, absolutely, but I feel very welcomed here and my kids love coming to the shop.

It's not in an area that I pass by often but I has an appointment nearby and as I was parking I spotted the sign. Luckily I was 20 mins early, giving me the perfect place to kill time! The store is underneath some apartments but tokes over half of the ground level by the looks of it. A fantastic big space, filled from top to bottom with vintage treasures. The owner does a great job creating cute corners highlighting furniture, decor, ornaments and clothing. I immediately wished I had more time to browse! The clothing is divided into rails of amazing dresses from the Victorian era and more. The underskirt section was unreal and made me wanna dress like a steam punk to my meeting. So cool. Lots of eclectic and romantic bits for a vintage wedding. Just wonderful.
