Andalous Imports

This is a great place to find ‘one of a kind’ gifts for birthdays or Christmas. The staff is always nice and when I’m in Toronto I always stop by and see what is new.

I finally stopped in here after 8 months of seeing interesting items in the display window during my walks along Yonge Street. Surprisingly, there’s lots of great unique gift items in there. They carry little knick nacks and accessories from countries such as Nepal and places in Africa. The prices are fair. — I got a beautiful scarf for just $ 12!
I wish that the owner would’ve gone through the trouble of taking something out of the display window for me to see. He said it would take him an hour to move the stuff behind the display out of the way. He wasn’t doing anything else nor way it busy, so couldn’t he have just let me see the item? He almost lost a sale there, but he did go in the back and get more scarves for me to look at instead. Not an overly cheerful guy either, yet I’m just happy that I finally got a beautiful scarf that will be a good staple piece for my wardrobe.

I love this store
they have a lot of neat stuff and it is reasonably priced

You need a unique gift that doesn’t cost alot, this is the store.
It’s all global pieces, some is junk, some is art. There’s a similar huge store in Kensington on Augusta (forget the name now) but it’s over priced. This place is always on 50% discount and clearance.
I like their masks and lamps. Occasionally they have cool plateware and sometimes, if you are lucky, some interesting paintaings. Otherwise, there’s all the small things like incense, jewellery, stones, cool cards, etc.
If you are feeling uninspired and need to buy an interesting bday gift or house warming gift, go here.
It’s value products and i actually kinda like the smell of the store (musty antique smell). Staff are friendly but seem to turn over fast, so might not be too knowledgeable. It’s a cool store to just browse as well.

Even though this shop is small, it is filled with a really interesting array of imported goods and crafts.
There are beautiful pieces of jewelry (mostly sterling silver with real gem stones), wall art, incense, cards, candles, perfume oils, leather goods, handmade musical instruments, shoulder bags, decorative scarves, etc. And the best part is the prices — They are VERY reasonable! The staff is friendly and helpful too.
Be prepared to spend about 20 minutes in there if you want to see everything.
