“A must-visit gem in Steveston!
Shooting Star is such a charming gift shop, filled with beautiful and unique souvenirs that truly capture the spirit of Steveston. The selection is fantastic – from locally inspired keepsakes to thoughtful gifts for friends and family – and everything is displayed so nicely that browsing feels like a treat. The quality of the items is excellent, and the prices are very reasonable for such well-chosen products. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the shopping experience even more enjoyable. Whether you’re a visitor looking for the perfect memento or a local in search of a special gift, Shooting Star is the place to go. Highly recommend!”
“This is the best place to go to for fine china and dinnerware! The owner is very polite and accommodating and will always take time to answer your questions. The pricing is always better than comparable stores. Support a small business that provides a great offline experience.”

“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.”
