Gift Shops in Scarborough, ON

“The first time I came here was about a year ago-- I am from the US. I followed them on IG and loved all the different kinds of stock they get, plus they are one of the few blind box stores with around 19.1K followers on social media so I was eager to see what the hype was about.

Their assortment of boxes is great! Lots of variety. Prices aren't horrible either. The shop is very bright and colorful. The boxes were all displayed and stacked neatly. I noticed a lot of the reviews complained about the cigarette scent- I didn't smell it at all. I particularly love their artist alley in the back half of the store. A great way to support small businesses/artists by buying their merch, etc. I will say the back half of the store (artist alley) is quite messy and a bit disorganized.

I knocked down a point mainly due to customer service. I've been here a total of two times. The first time I received little to no customer service- not even a hi welcome in. Same thing with this most recent visit almost a year later. Coincidentally it was the same female staff worker both times who checked me out. She seemed very stand-offish and a bit intimidating to be honest lol. I would ask about trading because I'm not exactly sure how the intricacies of the trading community/how their store runs besides the selling of blind boxes, and her response made me feel silly for asking like I should've known the answer.

I hate to make a deal out of customer service as it seems like most people who have reviewed didn't have this issue. Perhaps it was just bad luck with the this particular staff both times. But as someone who has worked in customer service before, it's something that can really make a shopping experience memorable.”
