Sometimes you want to just shop online – we can do that! But sometimes you want a little more out of your shopping experience, a little more than what can be accomplished by a point and a click or a typical visit to a big box store. I know, I know, parking can be a pain sometimes, but I promise you, the Little Cricket is well worth the trouble! (You needed some fresh air anyways, right?) Imagine this…
A store that smells and sounds as good as it looks, filled with inimitable treasures big and small. A store where the friendly staff know you by name, remember your last purchase and care about how your day is going. No line-ups, no price checks, no shipping fees. Just a beautiful environment, outstanding selection and good old-fashioned customer service. And with over 75% of the items crafted right here in BC, you always know you are supporting a local artist and small business with your purchase.
That’s Little Cricket Gift Gallery, and I think that’s worth making a stop for, don’t you?
I’ve enjoyed perusing sweet little gift shops, antique markets, craft fairs and the likes of Granville Island, Lonsdale Quay and Whistler Village my whole life. After years of dreaming and searching for a place I could call my own, it was my good fortune and frankly, just plain good timing, that I should find the shop of my dreams right here in my own backyard of Maple Ridge. My family and I have been customers of the Little Cricket Gift Gallery for years, and I forgot just how many treasured items in my home came from this wonderful little store until I bought it! So after 14 years in business, the keys to the castle were handed over to me to make of it what I could…
While I would never call myself an ‘artist’ nor am I an expert on art, I enjoy being creative, surrounding myself with creativity, and sharing my love of all things artsy with anyone who will appreciate it. Continuing the legacy of ‘all Canadian, all the time’ makes me extremely proud of my business and all the wonderful art contained within its four walls. I’m also proud of my amazing staff and the wonderfully talented artists who are taking this journey with me. I look forward to sharing this sense of pride and joy with you, my customers, each and every day!
Thank you for your continued support and thank you for Shopping Local!
