Oceanside Gifts, the heart of Victoria's Inner Harbour

Proud to be locally owned and operated, Oceanside Gifts & More has been a staple in Victoria's Inner Harbour since 1987. Three generations of owners have built it into Victoria's premier boutique souvenir and gift shop, with a carefully curated selection of over 6,000 items including many sourced from local and Indigenous creators and artists.

lək̓ʷəŋən Traditional
Territory

We are honoured to be on the traditional territory of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples of the Songhees Nation and Xʷsepsəm Nation, and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. We work hard to ensure that all of our Indigenous-inspired artwork is sourced from Indigenous artists, and that they are appropriately credited and compensated for their work.

Sergeant Moose

Sergeant Moose was handcrafted locally in Duncan BC, and has been a long-standing mascot (literally) of our store for many years. He’s entertained and attracted people of all ages for over 20 years, and doesn’t have any plans of stopping anytime soon. He has stood strong accompanying our storefront through wind, rain, sun, and snow. Come stop by and take a photo with him!

Inner Harbour

First used by the Indigenous peoples of Vancouver Island, Victoria's picturesque Inner Harbour remains a fully functional working harbour, with two international ferries, an active aerodrome, and a water taxi service. During the summer months the Inner Harbour plays host to festivals, shows, and live music. Steps from the Empress Hotel, BC Legislative Buildings, the oldest China Town in Canada, and Beacon Hill Park, the Inner Harbour is the heart of Victoria.

Mannequins

The bright, smiling and quirky mannequins you’ll see featured in our store have been a staple part of our decor since the 1980’s. They’re originally from Thailand, where mannequins with similar features can be seen while roaming the markets! Fun Fact: Our mannequins are some of the last in circulation internationally, and have not been manufactured in over 50 years!

Since 1873, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have symbolized peace in the Canadian West. We proudly carry RCMP registered items to benefit the RCMP Foundation – a fundraiser to develop local community programs for at-risk youth.
