The Den Hobbies & Gifts

A treasure trove of collectable delights await you at The Den on 125 Downie Street. We welcome Sareena Gaind to downtown Stratford!

Faced with having to shutter her shop of 17 years – The Bargain Bin at the old Sobey’s plaza – due to redevelopment, Sareena took a year during Covid to contemplate her next move. Her husband for 22 years had been running a hobby/trading card kiosk at the London Market and so she decided to expand on this concept and open a new shop in Stratford.

 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You can expect to find hard-to-get collector items, including many types of collector cards (Pokeman, Star Wars, Magic Cards, Hockey, Football, etc), Upper Deck cards, Beanie Babies, Huggie Wuggies, Fudgert, Zippos, Funk Pops and other entertainment and NFL/NHL/NBA collector items.

The DEN has a very strong following of Londoners and Sareena looks forward to welcoming the collectors in our city, too!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The Den opens daily at 11am.
