Not Just A Mom - Favourite Small Shops

 


Good morning! Today on Not Just A Mom we are talking about our favourite small shops.  For me, I need to start thinking about Christmas gifts and with the rumour of the supply chain delays, I will be looking to more local shops for my gift ideas. 

I've got two categories here since my local small shops won't be that useful for many of you (but I still want to give the shoutout), and then I will also share the non-Nordstrom, non-Amazon retailers that more people have access too.

Local Toronto (West Side)
The Cookery - This is a fabulous cooking store that has many wonderful things. I also love to just browse around.
Scout - This store is on Roncesvalles Ave.  It has fun gift things to browse through and buy.
Drake General Stores - We are fans of the Drake brand (hotels and restaurants) and this store has many lovely Canadian themed gifts, and more.  I have visited the actual store on Queen West, the location within The Bay, and also their online store. 

Everywhere
Saje - I'm not a huge convert to essential oils, but I do love browsing in this store, and I have a few of their "magic potions" (as I call them), the immunity and peppermint halo rollers.
Keihl's - We both use their products and it's also good for gifts.
Zara - I actually don't buy many clothes here for myself, mostly it's good for the kids' selection and Zara Home goods.

  2. I didn't post today because I only have two stores I could think of and they're both very local. However, I should have. Maybe tomorrow...

  3. I bought a set of essential oils and have yet to use them at all! They smell so good though and I want to get better about actually using them but I'm often stumped on what to do with them.
