Haystack is helping you shop local for all your back to school needs! Today we’re highlighting Scout, which has a fantastic selection of greeting cards, stationary, gifts, and of course…. back to school stuff!
Scout store overview
Scout has two locations: one in the East End and one in the West End! Today, we’re focusing on their fantastic Leslieville location at Queen E and Jones.
Scout is primarily a gift and stationary store, so they have a little bit of everything and a lot of what you definitely want to pick up for special events for loved ones, big and small.
Their back to school supplies will add a touch of whimsy and a splash of colour to your child’s backpack. As they tend to have a lot of stationary items, it’s no surprise that their notebooks and notepads are extra special and in some cases, hilariously funny (check out the ‘organized chaos’ one with a completely business-like cover).
They also have sweet touches, like a jelly cat pencil holder and unique bags.
The store is not large, but don’t forget, they have a second location, so if you don’t find something in the Leslieville store, and they have it in their other store, they’ll bring it across town for you for no charge.
