I try to stick to purchasing from Canadian sites as much as I can. That way, I don't have to deal with trying to figure out exchange rates and your product arrives that much quicker :-)
My Sweet Boutique - (Saskatoon, SK) fabulous clips, headbands, kufi hats etc.
Cheeky Monkey - (London, Ontario) clothings, toys, baby gear (this is where I bought the BabyLegs for Katelyn)
Growing Growing Gone - (Whitby, Ontario) CLOTHES! and tons of them! I haven't bought anything yet, but they have these awesome! Loonie/Toonie sales and I'm just waiting to sink my credit card into them :-)
Baby's Best Designs - (not sure where, but definitely located in Canada) BabyLegs, BabyLegs socks, BabyLegs tights...I found this website after I had already ordered from the other site
Etsy - (the U.S. site) I love love love scouring Etsy for neat stuff. I've bought my sister two cool gifts (but I can't say what they are for obvious reasons) from two different shops. I also bought Katelyn's Louis Vuitton onesie and shoes from here. Plus, I plan to scoop her a bonnet from here (where Nella from Enjoying The Small Things gets hers)
Kijiji - (PA's site) all I really look at is the baby stuff to see if there's any good clothing being sold or baby toys
eBay - this is where I buy the old video games and my childhood toys from. I've also picked up some photography equipment as well.
Amazon - books and baking goodies (like an edible marker thing - not a marker you eat, but one you can write on cake pops with) have both purchased from Amazon.
Perpetual Kid - I love/hate this site. I love it because it has TONS of cool gadgets and useless gag gifts (bacon bandaids, anyone?). I hate it because it won't ship to Canada. Yes, I know you can purchase a U.S. address, but I don't feel like going through that whole rigamaroll (or however you spell that). I just wish they'd smarten up and start shipping internationally.
My next venture is to start selling things to the Internets - I have a bunch of my parents' record albums that I plan to list on eBay and some other junk that I will sell locally on Kijiji. This way, I can continue funding my online shopping :-)
What are some of your favourite sites to buy goodies/treasure/neat things from (they don't have to be baby related)?
