There is nothing worse than being ordinary. Up To You is everything but – they’ve got gadgets and gizmos aplenty. They’ve got whozits and whatzits galore. You want thingamabobs? They got twenty! (see what I did there? haha). On a more “serious” note…you will find some very cool things here! We love when friends swoon over those neat little accents that make our homes ours. You can check out this nifty store in person at 1483 Queen Street East or online! We think this place rocks and so should you! Plus, Bill Doufekas (the owner) seems pretty rad! Here’s what he told us:

The idea behind our shop was to create a voyeuristic experience for our customer, therefore changing their patterns of choice. As a buyer my goal is to carefully choose designers from around the world, talk to them about their ideas and purchase pieces that promote individuality amidst a world of cookie-cutter imagery and products. Consequently, the majority of what we sell can only be found in our shop in Canada. These days there is a need to offer people a genuine alternative to the normal same/same consumer environment. I suppose if we don’t start to truly encourage & embrace individuality now, we’ll all be driving around in identically matching cars within 20 years! A bit extreme maybe, but we might forget how good a classic Steve McQueen movie is.
