TKVO isn’t a regular gift shop, but is rather Toronto’s very first Queer gift shop where you can find LGBTQ pharamenilia that celebrates the community and being who you are.

This Cabbagetown staple is sorely overlooked by Torontonians living in other parts of the city. What makes Spruce truly unique is its effort to source the majority of its products from within North America. It’s worth poking around if you’re looking for fun vintage items like signs, and pillows, as well as YYZ prints, dish ware, and other home decor goods made by local designers and artisans.

Designer Consignment
10 Brentcliffe Rd.
