“It's an eye-catching place with pretty dishes at reasonable prices? The friendliness of the owner and staff makes me want to come and buy them again after looking around without hesitation?”

“Honest review from local (live in Steveston).
There are couple of souvenir shops nearby but Shooting Star is my favourite. Some of their items you won't get at other shops and some items are very good quality. Thats why i'm willing to pay more at this shop.”

“We totally love being tourists in our own backyard! We zipped over to Steveston for a day trip to soak up the sun, grab some good eats, walk along the boardwalk or town, and, naturally, hit up the cute tourist shops.
We popped into a spot called Beau Monde Souvenir & Gift Shop. My wife initially had her eye on a hat, but she ended up falling in love with these bags instead! She even grabbed two for herself—one for her mom and one extra, just because!
The sweetest part, though, was for the kids. My girls spotted some BTS stickers, and the owner was a total pro! He knew every band member since he has a daughter, too. He was super kind and just gave each of the girls a sticker of their choice, totally free! Honestly, that was the highlight of their day. They didn't stop talking about those stickers—not the ice cream, not the fish and chips, not the shops... just the free BTS stickers from behind the counter at Beau Monde!
And get this—while we were asking about a specific bag design, the owner actually went digging in the back for more options. Plus, we noticed he was chatting with some of the other customers in what sounded like perfect German (we think he might be Korean!) and he spoke flawless English too as well. Talk about talented linguistic guy!
Seriously, if you're hunting for a little something, whether it's for you or a gift, you absolutely have to check out Beau Monde Souvenir & Gift Shop! You won't regret it!”
“Came here for the very affordable Chinese wedding supplies! Wonderful selection and options. Photos of some things I bought. Laisee is in packs of 6 for the stickered price.”
“Their products are absolutely adorable and every time I pass there, I can't stop buying them. I didn't have any issues with any of my purchases (6+ earrings so far). Good design, good size, good price, and I'll buy more again!”
“Water is definitely overpriced. $3.99 for the smallest size one. That being said, if you like soda it's only $2.79 or even sparkling water is cheaper at $3.69. At least tap water is drinkable in Canada so you are encouraged to bring an empty water with you through security and then fill it up on this side. Great selection of books at decent prices! Many in the $15 range and Relay offers a buy back program.”
“Wow, a very interesting mix of little gifts for everyone. From slippers, dishes, aprons, and foods, you find many different items in the store. Looked at scarves and nick knacks, on display set up to catch the eye. Had to get a few gifts from there. Located in the heart of Steveston Village.”
