Staff are friendly and helpful, always lots of interesting and useful things. Even if you're not sure what you're looking for it's worth having a look around.

This is our go to store for our family! Beautiful consigned clothing for our kids, birthday gifts and stocking stuffers are always easy to grab and amazing staff who are always there helping me juggle my items to purchase and set aside for me. Shop local and support GTIS!

Great selection of baby and kids items. Everything from new and consignment kids clothing, footwear, key baby/toddler items, toys (great quality gifts!) and women's consignment clothing. Love this shop.

Jenessa Strong

Overall a decent little shop. My one issue and a warning to others, if you do purchase an item and wish to return or exchange it, you will be required to have ALL tags. Even the small tiny price tags. I thought this was odd for a store that also sells used items, exactly the same category as item I purchased (rain suite for a toddler). I was refused even store credit on the sole basis that the item returned did not have the original price tag (I was told the reason is they require it for the item description? Its a rainsuite...). When purchased, this item was not in the original packaging (there were identical suites in other sizes in the original packages hence why I knew it was missing its original plastic bag) so I figured it wouldn't be an issue upon returning it a day later (unused completely and in the EXACT same condition as purchased). No refund, exchange or even store credit, on top of this I ensured to ask before purchase if I could return it if it did not fit and was told exact quote "of course! You can return for exchange or store credit if item is unused, no problem". Maybe this company should be making their employees aware of their very own policies because it was certainly a problem not even 24 hours later. EDIT: Despite the very poor response below by the owner, I was never provided the option for consignment, tags are rarely referred to in the retail industry as packaging and the receipt was VERY vague in it's language, I even asked for their return policy in person and was never told to keep the tags. Resell it? If I wanted to be in the business of selling items I would have asked their employment positions. I'm highly disappointed in the lack of accommodation, professionalism and accountability. I will be changing my review to 1 star.

Mind-blowing selection! Masks, newborn gear, unique and practical toys, diverse books, Muddy Buddy & similar, allll your bento box needs, AND consignment! I don’t even need anything and I have to stop when in town. Always stellar service from staff recommending the best product for your lifestyle. Great gift ideas of all size and price ranges.

Love this store! This is the ultimate store to go to when you need things for your children, especially little ones. Bonnie is great and her staff is always friendly! Reasonably priced product!

Cory Wilde

The service was wonderful. The woman who helped me was knowledgeable, friendly and patient. Felt the items were quite pricey and the music playing was quite inappropriate for a family environment.

Fiona Sharman

What a great gem we have here in Cochrane! I thought it was “just” a children’s store but it is so much more!

Jullie Caron

Used to come here all the time to buy used and new items as well as bringing in clothing for consignment. Service is acceptable. I think prices have gotten to high for used items...which you can find new on sale for similar prices. Many second hand stores have forgotten how to realistically price things partly because it'sbecome trendy now.

Kelly Sautner

I actually do think this is a good store, I’ve spent a ton of money here on multiple occasions. April 15th @ 4:57 I was going to pop in and purchase another Kyte baby blanket. I was met at the open door by a staff member who stood in the entrance and turned me away saying “we close at 5:00 sorry” I was very disappointed as I was trying to support a local business.

Shaun Grondin

Attentive service and great local business

Karen Kane

Very knowledgeable staff and beautiful products

Tony Evans

Really good selection of Melissa and Doug toys.

iheartjuliana

Curbside pickup was fantastic! I looked on the Melissa and Doug website and Amazon to find what I wanted. Then sent them a Facebook message with screenshots of what I was looking for. They sent me back pictures of what they had. I picked it out, they gave me the total, I sent an e-transfer, and picked it all up outside ten minutes later. Fantastic experience and will do it again, rather than wait weeks or months for things to arrive from Amazon, etc. Prices were similar to Amazon give or take a few dollars, and I am so happy to support out local store! ????????

Adam Skelly

Went out of my way to find an independent toy store, but they engage in discriminatory business practices. Walmart it is. -- No accommodations were offered, I was told medical excemptions were not accepted and I would not be served. Regardless, my child could not browse for a toy from the curb. This is the only store in Cochrane that has refused service to my family. It is disingenuous to pin blame on elected officials for your decision, while flagrantly violating the bylaw as it pertains to excemptions.

Danielle Noble

Everything you want. A little expensive but worth it.
