Ecotique

I really love this place. I don’t even live in the neighbourhood anymore but I make a point to come to Ecotique when I need a special gift or card for someone.
I love their local knick knacks, things made of wood, things made of glass, handmade ornaments at Christmastime. If you need a special and unique card for someone’s birthday or special event come here. Their cards are great!
You just need to to go by for a peek at their stuff, it’s ever changing and always fun.

the prices are quite high. ive had issues with a few of the products. the owner did not help!

Gorgeous things here! I bought a beautiful glass water bottle with a rubber holder.
I’ll definitely be back.

I really liked this shop. I am not a fan of when they stock things made in China, but hey. what can you do?
I found lovely felted purses and cases here made in Quebec of recycled fabric, and it has environmentally-​sound items without being like one of those hippie stores I frequent such as Grassroots.
Pretty journals, beauty products, lots of bags and totes. your typical gift-​shop kind of store.

Roncesvalles just keeps getting better and better and although the world can always use more super kielbasa, Ecotique is a welcome addition to the street.
I wandered in there with a vague notion that they would probably carry glass water bottles. And they do. But they also carry all kinds of environmentally respectful cute and useful items like jewelry, stationary, journals, beauty products, baby stuff, etc etc etc. Granted, the stuff doesn’t come cheap — this is for the gauche bourgeousie — but it’s all solid goods that are worthwhile investments. Examples:
— reusable lunch containers in stainless steel and bpa free plastic
— recycled beer bottle glasses (which I purchased as a host gift for my brother)
— water bottles by all those chic envirotype companies
— greeting cards that double as coasters
–reusable lunch bags
There’s lots more but i can’t really remember. I walked in for a water bottle and walked out with the bottle, the beer glasses and a lunchbox with robots on it for my son. If he doesn’t like it, I’ll gladly use it.
Sales people are super-​helpful. I’ll be back — you should check it out too!
