“Philis I believe is how it’s spelt*?Was amazing. I walked in there she knew exactly what direction to point me in for what I was looking for. I got some very high quality jewelry and I’m super excited for it. Great customer service!”
“such a variety of awesome hand made products, and the artists get to keep 100% of their profits which i have yet to find another local store do. some even take 50% so it’s refreshing to see an establishment that actually prioritizes its artists and cares ! Will be stopping by often for unique special gifts (-:”
“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. ❤”

721 Government St, Victoria“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.”
“A pretty shop on Oak Bay Avenue curating a wide survey of ceramics, wood, mixed media, jewelry and works of art by British Columbia artists. While on vacation we stopped by Side Street for a hostess gift. Jill is the sixth owner of this gallery and she provided a brief history of the gallery and we discovered we grew up in the same area in Southern Ontario. Prices suited for any budget but very competitive. We forgot to ask but we hope Side Street hosts events to showcase resident artist's works. Gift wrapping available upon request. On-street parking available andRoute 2/5/8 bus routes pass by the shop.”
9:45AM - 10PM
Metropolitan Building, 811 Government Street, Victoria“Not a bad gift shop, the prices are decent and there’s a little bit of everything for everyone. The maple cookies in the box are extremely tasty and the perfect gift for yourself or others!The layout is a little compact but they do a good job with organizing in a way where you can go directly to specific merchandise you are looking for.”
“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.”
“Great place to buy First Nation items from native art, trinkets, beautiful hand-carved boxes, t-shirts, bags, jewelry, etc. There are also warm sweaters made by artisans in the different First Nation tribes. We purchased some coasters and lapel pins. If you are in Victoria,B.C. please support local art and indigenous artists. Their prices are fair too.”
“Unique store with a carefully chosen portfolio of umbrellas just in the heart of Fan Tan Alley. You can see and feel that Lyra and Veronica just love what they do. One of the best customer experiences I ever had.”
