The Bay

A Holiday tradition in Toronto. When I was younger, my sisters and I would look forward to the creative storefront windows and the way that some of the mannequins would be animated. Even now, it still gets me into the spirit of the season!

they have a great selection of drapes and curtains nestled within the home decor section...the Bay really is the best place to go for home decorating on a budget - their curtain prices are great - just be willing to sift through a ton of the packages until you find the one for you!

always on sale

The atmosphere and surroundings make me feel special - for an affordable cost

Armani Code for Women and Acqua di Giò for Men- both extremely sexy!!!!!!!

Whatever you're looking for, it's there. The selection is broad and while I know you can get to the Bay in other locations, the downtown Bay is my fav.

The Bay at Queen Street is the one place I can find everything I need: clothes for work, shoes, accessories, gifts. The wedding registry service is great, anything that isn't bought for you is available for you to buy at a significant discount. The men's wear department has the best staff I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with.

At Christmas time the store windows are absolutely spectacular and put you right into the chrstmas spirit. There's nothing like walking along in the snow and seeing the displays of lights and decorations.

hands down its the best Christmas window display I have seen them put on in years - even better than Holt's. i love the old-fashioned theme and the detailing of all the festive characters, including the house mice.

The photo ops alone are worth the five flight crawl at the Yonge & Queen locale. I mean, you can also buy decorations there too - but thats entirely up to you. I haven't. the dollar store kids, the dollar store!
