I can't verify what the previous reviewer has stated about this store selling items that benefit people in third world countries or abused women. It seemed to me to be a very typical store selling very typical items. I give them more of a 2.5 rating because although the store does contain nice items, it's not one of my 'go to' places.

Items are not cheap but there's a story on every item. Ten Thousand Villages help men and women in poor countries have another fulfilling life - abused women in general. Buying here helps you less fortunate have another take on life. The items are actually not bad but like what I've said, a bit expensive. A ceramic tea pot cost $29 without a filter, 20 ginger teas for $ 10 and small plant pot for $ 22. I'll come back here and buy a boxed items with stories behind it. Because it's the story, the charity that I'll here for.

This is a fascinating little shop on Queen Street, NOTL's main drag, with a big selection of…read moreScottish, English, and Welsh gifts such as clan crests, kilts and tartans, DVDs of British dramas and comedians, books, clothing, jewelry, and British food products such as candy, biscuits, preserves, canned goods, gravies, sauces, pickles, and condiments. They even had "Royal Baby Commemorative Mugs" celebrating the birth of Prince George displayed in the front window (no, I didn't buy one, although I was tempted). I really would have liked to explore The Scottish Loft more, but it's a small place and at the time we visited was very crowded. I wanted to check out the food section for some lemon curd and ginger nuts, but the food was all kept in a very narrow hallway at the back of the store which was totally blocked by an elderly lady with a walking device literally as wide as the hall. I look forward to browsing in this shop some other time (preferably during Niagara on the Lake's "off" season).

This store has a little bit of everything - I was simply amazed! There are crafts from local artists , some not.

It's all quality things at a super reasonable price. It is the coolest store ever.. so much that I can't explain, but I took some pics to show you - hope you stop in and see for yourself... The two employees, Jim and Deena ( sorry if spelled wrong ) are very helpful and knowledgeable about everything in the store. Just great people.

Gift and specialty shop [Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON Canada]…read more This is a cute souvenir shop located in the downtown area of Niagara-on-the-Lake in Ontario. They have everything! They carried almost all of the merchandise I was looking for for my (hard-to-find gifts for) daughter. Staff (or owner) were friendly and helpful. It can get busy (and crowded) inside so be mindful and tread lightly. There are enough items on the front porch to browse through that it took me at least 20 mins to check them out even before entering the store, which took me even longer inside. Just so much to see. Just grateful for my loving husband just patiently waiting outside. LoL! Worth stopping by if looking for unique gifts or souvenirs. Find this store on Queen Street (main street). Review #3057

While most antique places focus mainly on glassware, the Country Doc has a good variety of items. The owner is really nice and that is something I value when I browse antiques.

However, I rarely go back there. The items in the house are far more interesting to look at.

Anyway, the antique items you find at The Country Doctor Antique and Gifts are authentically different, one of a kind and in beautiful condition. We have primitive, classic, neo, mid century, early american, good old American vintage and many periods represented at the shop. We have furniture, cabinets, shelves, and home decor and well as collectibles and kitschy finds!!! The new item gifts are different and affordable, just like the rest of the shoppe. This is a Co-op so there are many different styles and personalities in the shoppe, which makes it more interesting to have different tastes and styles represented there. Anyone planning a trip to Lewiston, NY should make a plan to stop in and say hi and do a little shopping or just stop by to look around!

O' Canada! A novelty…read morespecialty company that offers souvenirs, clothing, food items with a Canadian flair. The Great Canadian Gift Company has a online catalog where customers can make purchases as I am able to attain my favorite Canadian maple cookies brought into the U.S. The Canadian maple is worldwide renowned and opening the box the aroma of maple is fragrant. The cookies are fresh. In the past I was able to purchase these same maple cookies at Cross Border U.S. - Canada shopping by vehicle Duty Free many years ago which I greatly missed. Since I am unable to return to The Great White North I can now bring something from Canada into the U.S. Purchasing direct from manufacturer is always great without any hurdles. The maple cookies are very tasty. I had no problems with shipping from Canada into U.S. N.B. The charge will be in Canadian dollars onto my credit/debit card but my bank converts into American dollars.

One friend had already purchased an expensive purse there earlier- and brought us back for an opinion on another item. It was a rainy day so we were dressed causal. Not only did one women try to push my friend to buy the item, it wasn't a good fit. So when we started out - she remarked that we "smelled like breakfast" and maybe we should "spend at least a half hour outside airing out!" WTF! We had shopped the day before and spent hundreds of dollars. While shopping today we stopped at the Sunset Grill for brunch. Then went to this store. Avoid this store at all costs! BIG mistake for them, HUGE. I have lots of friends who visit there from NY. Stay away. They STINK!"
