Gingersnap General Store

Gingersnap General Store St. John's original locally owned toy store. We've moved online! www.gingersnapgeneralstore.ca We are NL's Iocal family-owned toy and children's store since 2009!

Gingersnap opened in 2009 in the historic downtown district of St. John's, and passed from its founders into the hands of a new family at the end of 2020. We're excited about what's to come, but are dedicated to the high standard of personal customer service, the welcoming kid-friendly atmosphere, and the carefully curated selection that Gingersnap's wonderful customers have supported for well ove

r a decade. We sell fun and unique gifts from around the world, sourcing from as far as Morocco while buying Canadian whenever possible. Canadian made nursery furniture, music boxes from France, Canadian cloth diapers, imagination toys from Germany and Malta, Canadian sunscreen and Canadian curriculum workbooks, and lots lots more. We are located at 803 Water Street in the wonderful Water West neighborhood (at the bottom of Waterford Bridge Road) with free parking for our customers in our side lot. We're right on Route 3! We focus on quality, play value, and creativity. Have a fun day and thanks for shopping with us! xo Ginger

If you've been in our neighborhood lately, you've probably noticed that we're missing, for now - but we're not gone! We've moved online! Free local delivery in the metro St. John's area every Tuesday, or by appointment.
You can find us at www.gingersnapgeneralstore.ca !

A little personal note: I've taken a step back from running the physical shop for now, but not forever! Some of you might recall how wild our hours were at the end of last year, thanks to a run-in with cancer and a mastectomy - I'm happy to say that I'm doing really well, so far (thanks to some lucky timing and early detection), but in the past few months I've been focused on my Dad's own slog with cancer and his passing in recent weeks. He was absolutely magic, and we haven't really caught our breath, so we're still figuring out how to put one foot in front of the other, a little bit. Needless to say, I knew the schedule wasn't going to improve for a while, and so we made some big changes.

I'm SO grateful for the kind messages and for our wonderful customers who've kept right on supporting Gingersnap, even while I've been a bit vanished. I'm on the way back, bit by bit. We miss seeing you all in person, so keep your eyes peeled ♥
