You had me at "Magic Section".
Hollywood has it all wrong - in every typical tween/teen/college slapstick rom-com there is inevitably that one awkward youth in a cape, with a figurine collection who is obsessed with magic. This character is depicted as the bottom rung of rom-com society.
Nay. Nay I say.
Why? It's very simple:
1. Figurines are an investment. That's not childish obsession, that's being ahead of the game and planning for the future before your peers even understand the term RRSP.
2. Superheroes wear capes. Nuff said.
3. Giving flowers is a dying art. If you can make those flowers appear as if out of nowhere? You're basically a dating ninja.
So you, yes YOU, should visit Livingstone and Cavell and cool-ify yourself.
From a blissfully large section of gag gifts (you are NEVER too old for a whoopee cushion), to funky custom chess boards & amusing bobble heads to stick on your dashboard - this place is chock full of things you don't need but desperately want. Not to mention that four shelf wonderland that is the magic section, tucked in the back corner.
If you're shopping for someone other then your completely cool and mature adult self, it also has stuff for kids! Surprise! From badass replicas to classic throw back wooden toys, so you too can utter the phrase - "When I was your age..." - this place is a one stop shop for all the "awesome" aunts/uncles of the world.
It's fun. Go visit.
