GIFTS AND THINGS (Smiley's)

Such a delightful shop! Lots of merch related to anime, studio ghibliand of course many characters. Just loved spending time there and drooling over the merch. Nothing is cheap.. but its worth a visit for die hard fans. Also close to the famous steam clock of Gastown Vancouver. The whole street is colourful and entertaining.

Cute little store with fun merchandise from Korean and Japanese retailers! From Moomin, pokemon, and other pop culture items. Purchased a cute Moomin pencil case! Regret not buying this funny Gremlins magnet.

One of the staff members with long hair was quite rude. I visited today and asked another cashier whether they could order a Jellycat item that was not currently in stock. Before the cashier could respond, this staff member abruptly interrupted and said “No!” There was no explanation, no clarification—just a very cold and dismissive response. I completely understand if special orders are not possible, but basic courtesy and a polite explanation should be expected. Is this really how customers are meant to be treated? Can’t even use a warmer tone?

Miffy, Snoopy, Hello Kitty and Harry Potter…..lots of things wow wow 🤩 wow

The cutest store in Gastown! This place is a must for any cat or dog lover. There is a wide selection of canvas bags, socks, stationary, plush, plates etc. The staff are very nice and even held on to a plant I bought for a while so I could shop and come back later.

Cute, well-curated shop, located near Waterfront station. You can buy a variety of items as gifts including a whole section just for mushroom. You can find puzzles, clothing, plates, mugs, greeting cards, plushies, and other random and cute knick knacks. There is a small section for touristy items at the back but prices are higher than neighbouring gift shops.

I went to the website to order gifts to a cousin who just had a baby boy. I don’t live in the area but my cousin does. • Unfortunately Stated on the website: Delivery orders have to match the address on the card used for purchase. Seems a bit odd. So that’s saying customers are unable to order gifts to be delivered to friends/family. I’m sure that’s a big % of sales loss for the store. Definitely lost the sale from me.
