Description

Specialties

From stocking stuffers to birthday gifts and home décor it’s hard to find something unique and reflective of the person you are shopping for. Hopping from store to store can get tiring, looking for something that is quality but not typical. Wish on a Star aims to be exactly that, a one-​stop shop that provides shelves upon shelves of well-​made, sometimes one-​of-​a-​kind items that just might be the prefect gift. Whether you are shopping for a wedding gift, your grandmothers Christmas present or the man in your life or a simple but elegant thank-​you gesture, this shop has got you covered and the complimentary gift wrap is legendary!



Newport Village has a Whistler-​like feel on the outside. Quaint pathways, elegant boutique stores and Wish on a Star fits right in.“The relaxing atmosphere let’s people come in and take a deep breath,” says Linda Berg, store owner and self-​proclaimed Director of Happinesss. From classy bar items to funky home décor and a plethora of local handmade items from cards to jewellery — everyone finds something to fall in love with. Sid Dickens Tiles, Lampe Berger, Matt and Nat handbags & Thymes skincare are just a few of the great lines carried.



Capturing the «Now Newspaper’s» title of «Best Tri-​Cities Gift Shop» for 15 years in a row indicates how popular this variety-​filled shop is!

Great gift shop with a variety of items — from local craft, to seasonal, to unusual but elegant. Service was super friendly and being near the holiday season gift wrapping was just a slightly added wait to the checkout process.

Great for gifts, both fun little things for people with a sense of humour, and more standard things like nice kitchen items or bath goodies. Fun to browse. Some really lovely jewelry and always a new Matt & Nat purse for me to drool over. Great selection of welcome mats too! We got our «be nice or leave» mat here :) They also have a little store bird! I love to say to him but forget his name. Sorry birdy!

Like others have stated this store is a lifesaver when needing a cute, quick gift. A little pricey, like most stores in the area, but always have a great selection of housewarming gifts! The staff isn’t super attentive in making sure you find what you need, unless you go out of your way to ask. But other than that a great little store!

Having this store across the street has been a live-​saver on so many occasions. They have a great selection of cards, bridal, wedding & baby gifts, as well as a healthy selection of housewares and seasonal items. They round the store out with a decent number of smaller novelty items that are great gift additions.
One thing I especially like is that they source a lot of items from local craftspeople and companies and that if you are looking for something that they have run out of they will take your number and call you when they get more in stock.

Awesome little store! They have several sections with jewelry, fun items and themed sections (new baby, weddings, etc). The store also have a display that features local artists’ jewelries which is a nice touch and makes it very local and community-​oriented (which I love).
Staff are very very friendly and will definitely help with anything you need. Price on the items vary but is mostly fair.
PS: Last I visited, they also had a pet bird! It was a nice addition that makes it very homey, hope it’s still around :)

It surprises me that more people don’t know about little ‘ol «Newport Village» in Port Moody. When it was in it’s first phase in the late ’90’s it was dubbed a «Little Whistler.»
Wish On A Star fits in perfectly with the life of the village. Lots of great gifts for any occasion. Pet, guys, wedding, baby, bath, body and of course furnishings adorn this store.
The best part is that all of the gifts are wrapped with lovely scented potpourri, tissue and ribbons. If you buy a gift from here, it will likely be the one on the gift table that’s admired while the recipient carefully opens and saves the wrapping to use again.
And if that wasn’t enough, there’s two love birds that live in a cage, chirping away while you admire all of the lovelies.
