A Monkey Tree - Emporium
3851 Moncton St, Richmond, BC V7E 3A7Like many of the boutiques in Steveston, A Monkey Tree Emporium has a little bit of everything. What this store really excels at, however, is kitchenware.

Nikaido Gifts
150-3580 Moncton St, Richmond, BC V7E 3A4This unusual store combines the elegant minimalism of Japan with the lush sophistication of Europe. Luxurious notebooks and pens from the finest Swiss, Italian and French design houses share the cozy-yet-uncluttered space with beautiful bath and body products, including scents from Tokyo Milk and Library of Flowers. Choose some unusual teas to sip on while jotting down inspired ideas with your newfound stationery.
Its Posh Ltd
3480 Moncton St, Richmond, BC V7E 3A2Viewers of the television show Once Upon A Time will perhaps recognize the interior of this store as Mr. Gold’s pawn shop – but It’s Posh has its own unique charm in its original state. Cute, whimsical trinkets line the busy shelves, which offer everything from kitchenware to bath products to luxury food items. The shop often sells items produced by local artists and artisans who each have their own unique story. For stocking stuffers or birthday gifts, this is the ideal location.
Prickly Pear Garden Centre The
12311 No. 1 Rd, Richmond, BC V7E 1T6For a unique shopping experience, Prickly Pear is hard to beat. This low-ceilinged garden center places unique home wares – such as mirrors, ornaments and storage – next to beautiful plants and flowers. It’s a botanical garden of pretty things. A superb location for gifts, the Centre is even better for unusual items to brighten your own apartment or home. Don’t forget to find the tame black cat overseeing the store, often found fast asleep on the counter next to the till.
The Fab Pad
3580 Moncton Street, Richmond, BC V7E 3A5Whereas most shops in Steveston are brimming with products, The Fab Pad is minimal and spacious – which matches its aesthetic as a furniture and accessory store for mid-century modern design. The shop sells and restores furniture, but it’s still a worthy stop for those looking for smaller gift items. Don’t miss the gorgeous variety of glassware and decor – or “the details” as The Fab Pad calls them.
