Christmas shopping: Good spots to find treasures in Summerhill neighbourhood

When exploring the Summerhill neighbourhood between Rosedale and Summerhill Subway Stations for my research, I noticed a cluster of stores offering gorgeous home decor and lifestyle items in a wide range of prices. 

For gifts under $50, you might want to visit:

Dogfather & Co. (1007 Yonge). I don't even have a dog and I had a ball in this whimsical dog store.

Belle époque (1066 Yonge, one block north of Rosedale Subway Station). I was surprised to find so many interesting clothes amidst the home accessories!

Putti (1104 Yonge) taking the space of two stores, and overflowing with an eclectic assortment of beautiful objects.

Advice from a caterpilar (8 Price Street, just off the east side of Yonge), a very chic children's boutique with very chic toys (and staff with unaffected charm).

It is located near Terroni (1095 Yonge), the perfect urban spot for a late afternoon drink after a shopping session. But maybe you would rather start your shopping spree with a decadent pastry at Patachou (1120 Yonge)?
