Toronto Town Soaps (pictured above)
$6, In-Store and Online

Spacing has teamed up with Soapbox Soap Shop to create our own line of soaps depicting the old corporate seals of the former towns and villages that have been annexed and absorbed by Toronto over the years.  Available in a wide range of scents. All scents are from essential oils (exception: Scarborough) and are made in Toronto.

City of Neighbourhood x Oxford Pennants

This year, the company behind the ever-popular City of Neighbourhood Toques ($38 in-store and online) has teamed up with the venerable Oxford Pennants to bring some neighbourhood pride to your walls. They handpicked some of their best-selling ‘hoods to feature on these retro style pennants. Available in: Toronto, Scarborough, The Beach(es), Cabbagetown, Queen West, and Parkdale.

  1. Great idea with soaps, would love one with the old Village of Yorkville on it – would buy lots to give to my clients in Yorkville.
    Can send picture of the shield which is on the Firehall on Yorkville
