“This is the kind of store that makes you understand why people like shopping. You will go in looking for a cheap replacement umbrella but come out with a new understanding of the benefits of a good one - and probably a new umbrella that will last for years to come. They do also sell the cheap ones, though, so if you’re not up for an umbrella investment you can still stay dry for the time being.”
“Flattered and grateful to be a vendor in this shop! This location is full of talented, handmade vendors who have their own shelf space. With rotating products and vendors there will always be something new, and unique! The customer service of and attentiveness the staff does not go unnoticed.”
“This little gem of a store has so many beautiful and practical gifts for friends and family or for yourself! First time there today, to pick up my online order of 2 personalized mugs. Love them! Spread the word to check out this store for treasures. I will be back frequently. And it all goes to supporting the animals that Broken Promises continues to step up and help. ❤”
“I really enjoyed this place. The staff were very kind and there was a diverse selection of cards available. My mother, who visited Victoria from abroad for the first time was very happy.”
“Absolutely beautiful store with very neat goods! Ended up finding a gorgeous wooden salmon as well as many other goodies. Price was very reasonable all things considered and the employees were very friendly. Highly recommend stoping here if you're looking for some Indigenous gifts and goods!”
“I shopped here earlier today and it was an overall wonderful experience! Their selection of locally produced ceramics, glasswork, metalwork, jewelry, stationary & other artsy finds is very good. My partner and I ended up chatting with the ladies running the store for a good half hour and eventually left with 7 items to cross off my Christmas list! We will definitely be back ☺️ ?”

“Opulent, traditional, elegant and oh-so-British. The Fairmont brand of hotels is synonymous with luxury and this hotel is no exception. The store at the Fairmont is not to be missed and neither is afternoon tea.”

“Nice gift shop in a tourist area. It is jam packed with all sorts of interesting things with Victoria printed on them. It’s clean and easily accessible from the wharf promenade. It’s a tourist trap but nicely organized and presentable. There is paid parking nearby and public washrooms in the same building.”

“This place is the best because of how accommodating their customer service was. They helped me even when they were not supposed to and that is what customer service should be like. I don’t know the names of the people who helped me but it was on July 24 at about 9:55pm.”

“I’m a young student and went here today to buy a fountain pen. I bought one this summer in NYC and when asking about where I could get another or buy supplies for them in Canada the store recommended this place. It was great, the two men at the store were so friendly, and provided great recommendations within my budget. They were so kind and it was lovely chatting with them. 10/10 recommend for anyone getting into fountain pens or for their other products.”
“You walk into a nice cozy environment, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. It can get very busy whenever a cruise ship is leaving so be sure to get there early or be prepared to face the crowds. That being said the cashiers are speedy so you'll never be in line for very long.”
“Triple Spiral has been here for a long time and for a darn good reason. You can find everything you need for your spiritual practice and then some. The staff is friendly and knowledgable, and the owner Phylis is as real and down to earth as anyone could be. You can trust her expertise and honesty in all matters revolving around this business.”
