As a kid, I once got into a infamous spat with my sister over an unicorn figurine she bought me for my birthday. "What you got me an ornament?! They just sit there and collect dust!" Luckily the passage of time can heal many things and stores like Magic Pony have helped to instill in me a love for all things that are related to art and inanimate objects!
Magic Pony is many things: an art gallery, book store, a toy store and a general all around great gift shop for those looking to please the quirky and eccentric collectors in our lives. Some of my favourite items during my the travels through here: darth vadar usb stick (we all need one of those!), cufflinks and jewellry by Toronto artist Hoi An-Tang, wooden pencil boxes, canvas tote bags and really cute vinyl/plush toys. They also have a good selection of graphic t-shirts, there was one dark blue number that had my name on it so I snagged it. Anything by the Japanese artist Nara is a favourite of mine, those irritated sleepy eyed girls of his hold a place in my heart!
Even if you don't plan on spending a penny here, it's worth a visit- you will find plenty of things to oooh and ahh over.
