Looking to sink your teeth into a sweet treat? Well, a trip to the mall might be in the cards because a Cake Boss vending machine has just popped up in Mississauga.

The vending machines are located at Square One Shopping Centre and are selling slices of cake all the way from Carlo’s Bake Shop in Hoboken, New Jersey.

The cake ATMs are located on Level 1 and can be found between Urban Planet and Sleep Country. The cake flavours you can expect to taste range include Rainbow, Red Velvet, Chocolate Fudge, Confetti, Cookies & Cream, Rainbow Fudge, and Carrot.

Facebook/Square One Shopping Centre

While these machines only sell slices, Square One says in a Facebook post that full cakes will be available soon.

This isn’t the first time that these Cake Boss vending machines have been spotted here in the GTA. Last fall, the cake ATMs popped up inside the PATH in downtown Toronto.

Can’t make it in person to get a taste of Hoboken’s finest? Carlo’s Bake Shop has recently launched delivery to Canada so you can order full cakes online and have them sent right to your door.

It’s Our Little Secret Boutique specializes in consignment of authentic luxury designer pieces. It’s the perfect place to consign that designer bag you haven’t touched in years, maybe even to help pay for a new one that you’ll get more use out of. No appointment is needed during weekdays to drop off your clean, pressed/steamed clothing to the store. If you’re simply in the market to add a luxury piece to your closet, shopping secondhand at this consignment store is sure to save you some cash. 

Plato’s Closet

Plato’s Closet is always an easy go-to for quick consignment. This consignment store is great to check out if you want up-front cash the day you’re donating, as some stores require your items to sell before you get paid. With so many locations in the GTA, you’re bound to find one close to you, and the selection is always killer.

The Comeback

Located near Mississauga in Etobicoke is The Comeback, a consignment store for ladies clothing carrying mostly name brands like Tory Burch, Aritzia, Christian Louboutin, to name a few. The Comeback is a great place to do some shopping to get more bang for your buck, and it even has an online shop, too. The store’s consignment process gives you a percentage that varies depending on how much the item retails for (the more the item sells for, the higher percentage the consigner gets). You can pick up your cash in store or put it towards a purchase, getting an extra 10% on top of your balance to shop with.

Restyle Beauty Boutique

The boutique even has beauty services, making it the ultimate one-stop-shop.

Talize

While Talize isn’t a direct consignment store, but we thought we would include it in this list since it’s a great place to donate your clothing to. Don’t worry, you can still get the benefit of a 30% off coupon for your next purchase when you donate two or more bags, or $5 credit for your donation. Donating at Talize is also a great way to get rid of the clothes that maybe didn’t make it through the consignment process.

Calling all doughnut fans! A popular American chain will be bringing its delicious mini doughnuts to the greater Toronto area in the spring of 2020.

The chain, dubbed The Dapper Doughnut, is known for its doughnuts with style — the very first doughnut the brand created was a doughnut with a bow tie. Since then, the chain has made itself popular through its hot and fresh mini doughnuts.

The Dapper Doughnut already has stores in Laval, Saskatoon, and Calgary, but will be opening its first GTA-based location soon.

Fried dough enthusiasts can expect The Dapper Doughnut Mississauga to open at 5027 Spectrum Way in the spring of 2020.

And according to Narcity, this won’t be the last GTA location to open — there are already whispers of two more stores to open, “with a strong possibility of them being in the Toronto and Brampton area.”

What’s most exciting about the opening is the create-your-own aspect that The Dapper Doughnut is known for.

Visitors of The Dapper Doughnut Mississauga will be able to DIY their own creations, with over 24 different types of toppings and sugars to customize with.

In addition to doughnuts, visitors can expect tons of other delicious treats.

Think doughnut topped milkshakes, soft serve ice cream, gourmet coffee, tea, doughnut parfaits, and more.

We can’t wait to try them!

The holidays are supposed to be filled with cheer, family, and friends, but oftentimes, the task of finding the perfect gifts for everyone on your list can make things stressful. Shopping doesn’t have to be anxiety-inducing, though. In fact, it can be pretty darn easy, even if you hate shopping — you just have to know where to shop. 

Case-in-point: Heartland Town Centre

There are two WINNERS stores, a HomeSense, and a Marshalls all within five minutes of each other — and all with plenty of parking. So, if you’re looking to knock out your holiday shopping all in one go, look no further than these four stores. 

From presents that’ll suit anyone of any age or interest, to wrapping paper and gift cards, and even treats for your holiday parties, shopping at the Heartland Town Centre WINNERS, HomeSense, and Marshalls is a no-brainer. With so many unique items to choose from at such great prices, you can’t wait when you find something great because the next day it might be gone! It’s like a treasure hunt at each store – and that’s the magic of it all! 

In case you need more proof that these stores will make holiday shopping easier, here are 16 gift ideas that we found at WINNERS, HomeSense, and Marshalls at Heartland Town Centre: 

Matching Pajamas for the Whole Family 

Is there anything cuter than a family that matches? We don’t think so! Take #FamilyGoals to the next level with matching holiday pajamas. At the WINNERS at Mavis and Matheson, we found sets made for matching, but you can get creative and browse through the racks for different colour schemes and styles. The sleepwear selections at the Heartland Town Centre WINNERS and Marshalls can’t be beat, and if you can’t find what you’re looking for at one store, you’re sure to find it at the next. 

Cozy Sweaters 

holiday gift ideas winners

Baby, it’s cold outside! And the perfect way to stay warm over the winter is with a big, cozy sweater. Both WINNERS stores and the Marshalls at Heartland Town Centre have a stellar selection of cozy sweaters from top name brands your giftee is sure to love, at prices you (and your wallet) will love, too. 

Pro tip: Hit up all three brands and visit often — new items are always arriving, so you never know what gems you’ll be able to find. 

Throw Blankets 

holiday gift ideas winners

Know someone who’s on #TeamCozy? A throw blanket is the perfect gift because you can never have too many. Of the four stores that we visited, HomeSense definitely had the largest selection. From fuzzy textures and classic tartans, to perfectly packed cable knit throws, your giftee will love snuggling up with whatever you choose. 

Bags and Accessories 

holiday gift ideas winners

Bags and accessories are a great gift to give someone who already has great style. Small items like wallets, gloves, hats, and scarves make the perfect stocking stuffers, and WINNERS and Marshalls have a huge selection to browse for both men and women. 

Pro tip: WINNERS, HomeSense, and Marshalls all offer the option to choose a gift receipt with your purchase, which is a great way to ensure your giftee ends up with something they love. Make sure to grab one as you check out. That way, they can get a store credit or exchange their gift if it’s not quite their style. 

Games 

holiday gift ideas winners

Games are the gift that keeps on giving, and every time your giftee plays, they’ll think of you! At HomeSense, we spotted some awesome game sets that’ll add just the right amount of fun to anyone on your shopping list’s life. For board game aficionados, keep an eye out for classic games that double as home decor, or spoil your loved ones with trivia, memory, or guessing games — the options are endless! 

Toys, galore! 

Nothing makes you want to be a kid again more than browsing the toy aisles at WINNERS, HomeSense, and Marshalls. All four of the stores at Heartland Town Centre have a great selection of cool kids’ gift ideas; we’re talking giant stuffed animals, child-sized cars, child-sized kitchens, trucks, dolls, and more. The hard part about shopping for your kiddos at WINNERS, HomeSense, and Marshalls won’t be finding the perfect gift — it’ll be stopping at just one! 

Ready-Made Gift Baskets 

Nobody said gifting was easy — in fact, it’s probably one of the harder things to do. But WINNERS, HomeSense, and Marshalls make things a little less stressful with their selection of beautiful gift baskets. You can find full sections of each store dedicated to these baskets, which come in different price ranges and sizes, and are filled to the brim with the best holiday goodies — think chocolates, cookies, mugs, and more. Because they’re so easy to grab and go, we suggest ditching the wine and making this your go-to host/hostess gift instead. 

Holy Grail Beauty Products 

holiday gift ideas winners

If you’re looking for a store with the widest selection of top beauty products, we suggest checking out the new WINNERS at Mavis and Britannia, which features an expanded beauty section. Whatever you choose to pick up — whether it’s a palette, lip gloss set, skincare, or haircare — it’s sure to make your beauty-lover swoon. The best part? You can score brand names that impress for a fraction of the regular retail price. 

Beauty Tools 

While you’re in the beauty section, be sure to check out all of the beauty tools that WINNERS and Marshalls have in store. These bigger-ticket items are super affordable and well worth the purchase, especially if someone on your list is truly beauty-obsessed. We found vanity mirrors, beauty cases, and even the “it” item of 2019: the coveted beauty fridge. On top of that, curling irons, hair straighteners, and blow dryers are great choices, too. The selection is amazing – you’ll be sure to find every type of curling wand or iron, hair dryer, or hair straightener you can imagine! 

Watches 

holiday gift ideas winners

A classic timepiece is a wardrobe staple, so if you’re looking to pick one up for someone on your list, WINNERS is a great place to start (and end) the hunt. Stop by the jewelry section at either WINNERS store at Heartland Town Centre to find perfectly packed designer watches in a variety of styles, all at incredible prices. 

Luxury Eats and Sweets 

While you’re making your rounds, don’t forget to check out the food aisles. This is the best section for foodies, Secret Santa, and White Elephant gifts because everyone loves to eat. From giant jars of cookies and candy sets, to truffle oils and hot sauce samplers, we’d be surprised if you walked out empty-handed. 

Serve and Cookware 

holiday gift ideas winners

Another great gift for foodies? Serve and cookware! WINNERS, HomeSense, and Marshalls all have an amazing selection of brand name items — even the best of the best is affordable at these stores. Know a foodie or an at-home chef? A great platter or baking dish is the way to their heart. Gift one of these and you can definitely expect some delicious treats to make their way back as a thank you!

Stocking Stuffers 

Is it just us or are stocking stuffers the funnest things to shop for? The WINNERS, HomeSense, and Marshalls at Heartland Town Centre make it particularly easy to fill up stockings with affordable giftables. You’ll find items like holiday-themed socks, pens, games, desk calendars, notebooks, teas, candy, mugs, water bottles, and so much more. While you can find great stocking stuffers in every corner of the store, the checkout aisle is the jackpot. 

Pro tip: Don’t forget to pick up your holiday gift bags, wrapping paper, and cards in this same aisle! 

Bar accessories 

Nothing pairs better with the holidays than a fun cocktail! All four stores we visited at Heartland Town Centre had an impressive assortment of bar accessories, but we particularly loved the selection that HomeSense boasted. Mixer and glass sets are the perfect addition to a bar aficionado’s collection, but you’ll also find cute wine tumblers and flasks that make great bar cart accessories!

Headphones and Other Tech Gadgets 

holiday gift ideas winners

You don’t have to spend a fortune to find a great pair of headphones — we found tons at all four stores. There were lots of different styles to choose from, so you’ll be able to find a pair that suits your giftee’s needs. But the tech gadgets and accessories don’t stop there — at WINNERS and Marshalls, we saw a huge variety of speakers, phone cases, and even a karaoke machine! 

Candles and Diffusers 

holiday gift ideas winners

Last but not least are candles and diffusers. The wellness fanatic or decor enthusiast on your list is sure to appreciate the new, soothing scents you bring into their lives. However, if a diffuser is something your giftee already has in their home, just like throw blankets, we’re big believers that you can never have too many candles! 

And if all else fails…gift cards! 

holiday gift ideas winners

Let’s be real: nobody’s ever gotten mad about receiving a gift card. And the best part about receiving a gift card from WINNERS, HomeSense, and Marshalls is that it can be redeemed at any of the stores all across Canada. If you’re in a bind, a gift card is the quickest way to guarantee your giftee will get something that they love — and isn’t that the greatest gift of all?

Square One Shopping Centre has always been Mississauga’s go-to for shopping. And over the years, the mall has undergone renovations and upgrades, making it a top choice for new international retailers and major brands.

The mall originally opened its doors in 1973, and in the past year alone, Square One Shopping Centre has undergone a $580-million redevelopment, with new additions like The Food District, Morphe, and The Rec Room, to name a few.

Today the Mississauga mall is the largest shopping centre in Ontario, as well as one of the most profitable shopping centres in all of Canada.

Square One Shopping Centre

According to a study done in 2018 by the Retail Council of Canada, Square One Shopping Centre is the sixth most popular shopping centre in the country, bringing in $1,086.78 per square-foot and attracting 23 million people a year.

Just like all of the greater Toronto area’s popular malls — we’re looking at you, Yorkdale Shopping Centre and CF Toronto Eaton Centre — Square One Shopping Centre comes with a history documented through retro commercials.

Instagram account @retroontario recently shared an ’80s Square One Shopping Centre commercial that’s a total blast from the past.

Take a peek at the video below. Released in 1987, it’s funny to see how much styles have changed and a great way to see how much the beloved mall has grown.

Looking for cheap but chic home décor to fill your space? With what feels like a zillion locations across the GTA, HomeSense is a haven for trendy, designer home décor items for every room in your home, minus the hefty price tags! As the sister brand of Winners, HomeSense offers an identical “grab it before it’s gone” shopping experience with an ever changing inventory of furniture, cookware, lighting, and decorative accessories priced at 20-60% off department and specialty stores. With the merchandise mix of every HomeSense location being a bit of a lottery, we’ve done the research to bring you the best HomeSense locations across the GTA in order to maximize your time and savings while shopping!

Here are 7 of the best HomeSense locations in the GTA!

Etobicoke (1840 The Queensway)

This Etobicoke HomeSense store is in the vicinity of a slew of other home décor retailers. Our guess is that this Etobicoke HomeSense has really upped their inventory game in order to remain competitive with neighbouring décor retailers. We found this HomeSense store to be a hot spot for large, modern furniture pieces like dining room tables, nightstands, and armchairs. Act fast because although these larger items are heavy to transport back home, the “sold” pile of items by the entrance accumulates rather quickly!

Mississauga (4141 Dixie Rd.)

Located just inside of Rockwood Mall, this Mississauga HomeSense location will blow you away with its huge selection of decorative wall pieces. Unique and modern picture frames, clocks, mirrors, and artwork spill over into multiple aisles, one with more selection than the next. We particularly loved this location for the amount of clearance merchandise at the back of each aisle. Each department from cookware to bathroom accessories had a minimum of two end caps worth of clearance décor items to shop from.

best-homesense-gta
Instagram/@hellohomesense

Burlington (777 Guelph Line)

This west GTA HomeSense store is tucked away inside of Burlington Mall and is a gold mine for glassware, bowls, plates, and other kitchen knick-knacks. Bonus points to this store because it has a unique selection of stationary finds and paper products by the checkout. The shelves of merchandise surrounding the checkout line house a wide selection of novelty mugs and high-quality gift wrap – a great one-stop shop for gift giving indeed!

Vaughan (1 Bass Pro Mills Dr.)

Looking for a deal? We were pleasantly surprised by the assortment of pantry and closet organization items at the Vaughan Mills HomeSense location. While this particular store isn’t as large as others on our list (it’s combined with a Winners location), we found staff to be friendly and very helpful. Just be sure to shop this location early in the day for the best selection; we found that by early evening the store becomes messy and a bit discouraging to shop through.

Newmarket (17940 Yonge St.)

When you only have one HomeSense location in your town, it has got to be a good one! The Newmarket HomeSense store at Woodland Hills Shopping Centre is a great source for a mix of items from laundry storage solutions to decorative vases to quality bedding. While the clearance selection at this store isn’t the greatest (we found most items to be damaged or missing parts,) the inventory of new merchandise was incredible. In addition to shopping through the aisles, be sure to pull pieces from the curated displays found around the store (these items are for sale too and aren’t just for display!)

East York (957 Eglinton Ave E)

Situated right at Eglinton and Brentcliffe is a under-the-radar Homesense location that’s quietly known as the best one in Toronto. It’s larger than it looks, so don’t knock this store until you really explore. Here you can find everything from top-quality bedding and cookware, to decorative pillows and expensive looking on-trend furniture.

Thornhill (1054 Centre Street)

The mission all the way up to this Thornhill HomeSense location will be well worth it once you start filling your cart. This store has a well stocked cookware section filled with cookbooks, beautiful pots & pans, baking trays, cookware, utensils, and more. Not just that, but there’s a stellar selection of seasonal home decor, so if you’re looking to decorate for Halloween, this is the store to visit!
