Cocktail Emporium in Kensington Market opened in the summer of 2015, giving Toronto's beverage buffs and amateur mixologists a new haunt. The shop stocks a bounty of tumblers, cocktail shakers, books, and glass accessories more interesting than paper umbrellas. If you're looking to outfit your kitchen or bar with some new gear, this is the place.

This Dundas West boutique will help add a little Portuguese flair to your living space. The shop is filled with carefully curated goods shipped in from Europe, so chances are you won't find the same pieces in many other Toronto shops. Expect to find the shelves here lined with cozy wool blankets, brightly coloured cake stands, charcuterie boards and more.

If you like to shop local, the Toronto Designers Market is the ticket. The Parkdale shop carries pieces from 38 homegrown artists and designers, each with a designated booth-like space in the boutique. It carries everything from skincare to sculptures and has items like natural face creams, laser-etched coasters and vintage wall art among its stock.

Made relocated from Dundas West to Corktown at the end of the summer, bringing high-end, Canadian-designed home goods to the neighbourhood. If you're a fan of ultra-modern pieces that act as both art and furniture, its stock will be right up your alley. The shop carries everything from braille embossed vases to stools made of tangled felt strips.

Souvenir Studios in Brockton Village is a minimalist home decor store with a gallery feel. The expertly selected stock includes vintage rugs, textiles, ceramics and more from brands based in Central Ontario. The boutique doubles as a studio for owner Danielle Suppa, who creates products for the in-house SOUVENIR brand.
