Outer Layer

Outer Layer is a great place to find unique gifts for others, but once you start shopping, you might just end up keeping something for yourself. They have one of the largest selections of greeting cards: From simple to sweet, risqué to hilarious and everything in between. You can find all sorts of fun and quirky items suitable for any price range and taste. Customers can pick up things such as luxurious bath and body products, jewellery, pins, umbrellas, notebooks, joke books, baby stuff, kitchen accessories, gag gifts and magnets.

The shop has been a staple in the area for more than a decade. “We’ve been on Queen Street since 2002,” says owner Elana White. “We put a funky twist on things here, and we really sell a bit of everything. Whatever strikes our fancy, but it has to be fun and outside of the box. Outer Layer is a funky one-stop gift shop for everyone on your list.”
