About us

A Small Canadian Shop With a Clear Mission

Mark & Julie, Toronto

We’re Mark and Julie, a couple from Toronto who started this shop in 2013 with one simple idea: to make quality products accessible. What began as a small boutique is now a trusted online shop for families across Canada.

As our children grew up and moved out, we became more aware of how quickly the world was changing. Prices kept rising, stress became normal, and genuine kindness became harder to find. We wanted to bring some of that friendliness back — in a practical and meaningful way.

Our Mission

Our goal is straightforward: to offer useful, well-made products at fair prices, without the inflated margins that have become common in online retail.

This belief shaped what we call:

The Pay-It-Forward Promise

We intentionally keep our margins low.
We work with limited batches.
And we offer significant discounts not to clear out stock, but to make quality products accessible to more people.

For us, this is not a marketing angle. It is a deliberate choice in how we believe a small Canadian business should operate.

What Makes Us Different

We are a family-run Canadian store.
We provide direct, personal customer support.
We use reliable, nationwide shipping partners.
We maintain transparent pricing, stock information, and delivery expectations.
And we only select products we would confidently use in our own home.

Thank You

Every order supports our mission and helps keep our Pay-It-Forward Promise alive across Canada. We appreciate everyone who chooses to support a small, independent shop in a world dominated by large retailers.
