Wild Things

Wild Things Bright blue gift shop celebrating local craftspeople and our beautiful province’s natural wonders. Across from the alt Hotel at 124 Water Street in downtown St.

John’s, NL 🇨🇦 Established in 1990, Wild Things celebrates the wilderness, wildlife, and peoples of Newfoundland, Labrador, and the rich North Atlantic located a few metres from our entranceway. We encourage citizen science and ask visitors to report any interesting wildlife sightings... especially whales. We sell David Snow's "North Atlantic Orcas" book and work to collect all available information about orca populations off our coast.

🩵🩵 It’s National Nonprofit Day!! 🩵🩵
August 17th is recognized as National Nonprofit Day, a time to acknowledge and celebrate the ongoing efforts of nonprofit organizations to serve their community and improve the lives of those that live in it.
Wild Things is fortunate to be able to support local nonprofit First Light by donating 50% of the proceeds from each pair of our riverbead Red Dress earrings to help support their Indigenous-focused community programs and outreach.
