Labour of Love

I love this store. The staff are super friendly, the products are beautiful, and the space is inviting and attractively laid out. The thing I love about it most though is how humane the experience is. Having had customer service experiences during the pandemic that have been very rigid and crazy-making, the folks at Labour of Love prioritise the human interaction over policies, so little gestures like calling to confirm pickup dates etc make a huge difference. They are fabulous and local and high quality. You should shop there!

Cool shop to check out. They have an awesome card selection, from nice polite ones to the usual raunchy one too. Shop also does have unique items that you most likely won’t find in average stores. If you’re looking for something special for that special someone, this is definitely the store I would recommend.

What a beautiful store. Unique interesting products for any friend or family memeber on your gift list. Talk to the owner if you can shes incredible and very passionate about the store. Impossible to walk away empy handed.

They have nice cards but they will definitely set you back by a lot. It would be helpful to have prices on it.

Regina, the owner of this store, was incredibly friendly and made my experience amazing. She was super passionate about the items in her store and the goals for this place. Loved all the sustainable, cute and thought-out items throughout the store.

Nice helpful Staff. Severely overpriced on many items. Example: A book originally selling for $10.95 marked up to $15. And available online with free shipping for $9.86. Clean store with a good variety of knick knacks...cards, books, jewelry, soaps, mixes for drinks... The neighbourhood is changing yes and this store has been here for a while but nevertheless, overpriced for this part of the world. PS: The soaps can be found for less down the street on Queen from the parent company.

I had the pleasure of stopping by Labour of Love on a Wednesday, when they celebrate Power Down Wednesdays, where you are encouraged to leave your devices in your bag and shop mindfully. It was such a joy to disconnect from my notifications and spend a few minutes smelling their incense collection, running my hands over their kitchen linens, and feasting my eyes on their unique selection of incredible jewelry. The store owner is such a sensitive soul, and her effort to create a welcoming, gorgeous, and safe space has been a complete success. She took the time to personally gift-wrap my selections, and I was lucky enough to leave the shop with a complimentary cutting from one of their own pothos plants, which she was giving away today to anyone who wanted one. Labour of Love is an aptly named gem of Cabbage Town and is the perfect place to find a little love for you or anyone on your shopping list.

This place really lives up to its name. The owner, Regina, puts her heart and soul into her business, spotlighting many different local creators. Highly recommend popping by and taking a look!
