MAKER HOUSE CO. REVIEWS

Cool shop featuring a variety of homeware goods produced by local artists and craftspeople. A bit of everything for everyone makes it worth a visit to peruse and browse around even if a purchase is not intended. Definitely come out of with an appreciation for hand crafts and the local community.

Fantastic collection of beautiful, relatively locally made, quirky goods. Highly recommended to pay a visit, bring your dog too, they love visits.

Recently discovered this local store and keep finding myself going back to check out all the cool Canadian products. So many unique finds. I particularly like the variety of personal care products made locally in Ontario. Each product is labelled with detailed information and the staff are also very knowledgable and friendly.

THE GIFTED TYPE REVIEWS

Very happy to find this place today. They have a unique selection of cards and novelty items. Also a coincidental observation- the staff care about the community around them and will take a moment to try and connect struggling individuals with appropriate care. Overall a great, kind and fun vibe. I enjoy supporting businesses like these and will definitely be back!

This store is very cute and exactly what you'd expect from a shop for gifts. It was a nicely curated collection without being cluttered or overdone. It was accessible enough with a stroller. The staff I met was super friendly and helpful, that leaves me feeling happy to go back!

They have free local delivery which was super convenient. I was able to get a last-minute valentine's gift and it was super easy. Very happy with everything!

BOOGIE + BIRDIE REVIEWS

This is a wonderful little shop for picking up gifts for others (and yourself!) Stumbled upon it on my last day - and only free to roam day - in Ottawa. What a great surprise. There are lots of different items from jewelry - earrings are stunning - to chocolates and stickers. I wish I could have purchased more. Definitely coming back next time work sends me across the border.

Perfect local shop for gift-buying whether for yourself or others. Their jewelry selection is beautifully curated and their website is easy to navigate for online shopping. Wonderful staff and pet-friendly!

Very cute gift shop with a variety of items including soaps, bath products, mugs, candles, socks, t-shirts, etc. Definitely worth stopping by!
