The Old Tin Shed has worked it's way into the heart of the Bancroft community. The store always has unique home decorative items that have been salvaged from other materials and you can always find that perfect decor idea that just seems to speak out to you and call your name to buy it. While browsing through the store one day with my mother, we were offered free apple cider. The Old Tin Shed is a definite asset to the local shopping atmosphere of the town.

Kingston is an underrated town when it comes to tourism.

Macdonald), and has some of Canada's best fresh-water sailing. Luckily for the town, it has a gift shop like Waterfront to ensure one doesn't forget about this great place. First of all, we were sucked in by happenstance ... or very clever marketing ... as we had to go in the get our tickets for the Thousand Island Discovery Cruise inside the gift shop. That being said: Once you go in, there is an abundance of cool, high-quality stuff. I would hazard a guess that Waterfront has the city's best collection of Kingston-based apparel ... I draw this conclusion because since it has a deeper collection of gift-shop wares than the Kingston Visitor Info Centre (reviewed here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/kingston-visitor-information-centre-kingston). Hoodies, t-shirts, glasses, mugs, hats, boxer shorts, and the rest. You'll also find plenty of nautically themed stuff from shirts to lighthouses to books to model sailboats. To call it a "gift shop" would be an insult as they have so much fancy stuff: Scrubs, soaps, candles, watches, purses, wallets, jewelry, scarves, frou-frou gift baskets, high-end greeting cards (including some that are hand-drawn), and the rest. There are several high-quality brands including the sock puppets and stuffed animals of Cate & Levi; the hemp-heavy and fair-trade fashion of Ark Imports; the beauty and personal care products of Walton Wood Farm; and the vegan, eco-friendly, and cruelty-free skincare products of Kingston's own Shiva's Delight. And, oh, don't worry: PLENTY of maple. And #2: If you're into stuffed moose, I don't think you'll find a better selection in the Great White North :) So stop in ... even if you have to!

It had a bunch of Canada and Kingston merchandise since it's mostly a store for tourists, but they also have really cute/silly underwear! (For example, I bought a pair of boxers that said 'bear cheeks' with pictures of bears on the back.) They also have little toys, fridge magnets, kitchen tools, stuffed animals, etc. You get the idea! The stuff is definitely a little more expensive than what you'd find at other stores, but again, this is a store for tourists (mostly), so it makes sense that it's a tad more expensive. Overall, it's just a fun place to shop if you have some time to kill!

Wow, I'm surprised that Lockside has never been reviewed. They've been there forever and I know…read morethey're popular. I've probably been to Lockside at least a dozen times over the years, but there was a big gap between 2012 and 2018 when I was out of the province. I can honestly say that the place is exactly the same in 2018 as it was in 2012, although I imagine they'd disagree. Lockside is an interesting eclectic store with a wide variety of unique home decor items, furniture, clothing, and gifts. But be warned, it is NOT cheap. That place is on the high-end side when it comes to prices. Even their t-shirts are expensive. Over the years I've mainly browsed at Lockside because their stuff is too expensive to buy. But I have purchased a few small items now and again. The most frequent item I've bought is an ice cream cone! They serve Kawartha Dairy ice cream (the best ever) and they have a lovely outdoor area to sit and savour your ice cream while you watch the boats come and go from the Young's Point lock. The ice cream and location makes up for the fact that they're too expensive for the average person. You walk away thinking, "well, at least I got a good ice cream cone"! :-)

We live quite a way out of town and were not able to be in Arnprior for her birthday during these pandemic days, so Tara patiently texted me back and forth with photos of different options.

Such attention to detail from a wonderful artist. I've been to this store several times on previous visits to Arnprior. Very lovely selection from local/Canadian artists. Worth the visit!

That's a lie... but it was a fun time... as far as shopping in small town Ontario goes. This store is is abuzz with all things bee and is located centre stage on Warkworth's idyllic, albeit sleepy, Main Street. It's full of organic honey based skincare products, all things bees wax, heavy glassware with bee prints and nicknacks galore. These bee-autiful nicknacks and charming home goods are housed in the nicest smelling (sandlewood?) barn-like structure I have ever been in. It is so quaint, and inviting, but be careful. You will spend much more than you planned on. Well played, Tiny Town, CAD. PEPPER POINTS for their snarky sense of humour: "Beautiful Wedding Gifts (& more modest ones-- if you really don't think they stand a chance...)."

My friend didn't receive any of the paperwork or the box. The woman just put it in a bag, and it wasn't until my friend got it home to Ottawa that she realized the power supply was broken. She called the shop and explained the problem and asked if a replacement power supply could be mailed to her. The woman outright refused to do anything, and suggested that my friend come back to the store. That's not going to happen, first of all because of the distance, and also because this woman was very pushy and insisted on grabbing my friend's hands and making her pray to get her sight back. I won't even get into how inappropriate that was. Bottom line, my friend paid $50 for a broken light arrangement which she will now have to spend time and energy to make work. Steer clear!
