Thanks for your entries! We have a winner! The winner has been emailed and the name is listed in the last comment.
One of my favourite things to do in the afternoons when I’m in need of a pick-me-up is walk down to Bridgehead, grab a coffee, and walk along Richmond Road. I always feel so energized doing this (and no, it’s not just the coffee either). I always run into familiar faces as I pop my head into a few shops along the way. One of the shops that is frequently on my rounds happens to be a Fishbowl patron, Mrs. Tiggy Winkle’s. (And I have been poking my head in there long before they were a patron too! So.Much.Great.Stuff.)
(1) There’s always something new/cool in store… stuff for fun-loving people of all ages. (2) The service is exceptional. The staff is so friendly and knowledgable. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked in there, in a rush, and said something like I NEED A BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR A CRAFTY TWEEN. (3) Tiggy’s is very engaged with the community. There’s always something going on in-store, whether it’s a game night or a contest. (Related: do you follow Tiggy’s on Facebook? If you do, you already know what I’m talking about. )
Part of this, I think, comes from the fact Tiggy’s has been around the block. Did you know that Mrs. Tiggy Winkle’s is Ottawa’s oldest independent toy store (since 1977 in fact!)? And here’s something good to know, there is a huge sale coming up on October 22-25. HUGE.
Let’s review:
- 20% off everything (fine print: that is, off in-stock regular priced items)
- ALL locations and online
- October 22-25
- Christmas is coming
(Did I just say that last one out loud?)
Tiggy’s would like to give one lucky person a $50 gift card. Interested? Please read the following carefully:
- This giveaway is for a $50 gift card that will be given to one individual. It can be used at the sale, or anytime afterwards!
- In order for your entry to qualify, check out the website and let me know what you’d purchase with your winnings. OR if you have a special memory of Mrs. Tiggy Winkle’s – whether it’s excellent service, handy gift-wrapping, or great gifts) you can share that too! Just use the comments below.

- This giveaway is void where prohibited by law.
- If you can’t post your comment for whatever reason you can email it to andrea at quietfish dot com. Please note, I cannot be responsible if your entry is misdirected or gets stuck in my Spam folder.
