| - I love love love this store!
The Outer Layer is such a cute little shop, jam-packed with just about any kind of trinket or collectible you can imagine. Maybe it's just me, cause I have a thing for useless paperweights, but The Outer Layer is one of my favourite gift giving and personal reward shopping places in my neighbourhood.
Located in the Annex on Bloor between Spadina and Bathurst, amidst the many Inti-craft and artisan stores in that strip, The Outer Layer sells the perfect little thing for your best friend. I am a huge fan of their $5 change purses, all brightly coloured and decorated. They also sell hundreds of buttons, magnets, cards, jewelery, skin care products and unique gift ideas just to name a few.
This store has A LOT of STUFF. The stuff is EVERYWHERE, so don't go in with a huge bulky backpack like I did one time. It's very hard to maneuver through the tiny aisles this way.
At Christmas time, The Outer Layer had a great selection of unique and very beautiful cards. Although a little pricey, they are a nice touch for a special friend or for the family. They also sold hand crafted, one-of-a-kind tree ornaments and decorations which I know my mom loved!
At any time of year, The Outer Layer is a great place to find something a little unique for someone special. Or, if you're like me, a wonderful store to stock up on stationery, eclectic collectible items and a fun place to browse about with tea in hand.
