London Drugs opened in 1945 as a single 1,000 square foot store with humble beginnings on Main Street Vancouver. Today, the chain has grown to over 35 locations across Canada.

Although the pharmacy is still the heart of the business, London Drugs offers a competitive range of products and services including electronics, cosmetics, furniture, and cameras.

When London Drugs sold camera from its early days on Main Street, customers knew the store was a go-to place for quality photo equipment. Fast forwarded, sixty years and London Drugs has maintained that reputation.

Worst gift ever: After spending my savings on a PS2 (newest ‘n coolest at the time) plus EVERY game that a guy could want – I went all out hiding individually wrapped games all over the place so it was fun for my guy……………………. He gave me a card promising a weekend in Whistler that never happened… even though we went out for another year and a half. Worst Christmas gift EVER.

My worst Christmas gift was a barometer from a Secret Santa exchange. I even gave them hints about my hobbies/interests

I will give the worse one my wife gave to friends. I had eaten half of the box of Purdy’s, but kept re-wrapping it with the original bow so it looked unopened. We gave that box to best friends at a dinner party. For some reason I was in the ‘dog house” for that….

I would say worst gift was a book I never read, looked great on shelf, but on a subject matter I had no interest in. I appreciated the gift, or the thought, but the person had not really tailored the book to me. Did they know me. Maybe just re-giftting.

I was 7 and wanted them Power Rangers action figures that can flip the heads to “helmet on and helmet off”. I got a dollar store rip off of a Power Ranger that didn’t even look like a Power Ranger but a hybrid of Ninja Turtles and G.I. Joe. Oh but it can flip its helmet on and off.

Every year our group of friends hold a Secret Santa party. Names are drawn about a month in advance and you have to make a gift for the person you’ve drawn. I’ve had numerous conversations with friends about my aversion to drugs; I don’t judge, I just choose not to smoke up and never have. Despite these conversations and my type 1 diabetes, my friend gave me a batch of “Special” Cookies. Worst present ever, on two counts. Was easy to re-gift it though.

I got a package of drawer liners that had clearly been used before by a coworker. She had thrown the parcel together and inside I found an identification card from 1964 which shows how old that liner paper was. I smiled at her the next day and said the card must have accidentally slipped inside.

I got clothing 3x my size from relatives from Wal-Mart!

One Christmas my friend regifted to me the gift I gave her the year before. I’m sure she had forgotten but I thought it was hilarious. I had carefully found a lovely potpourri and candle set that exactly matched her walls. I guess she didn’t like it cause the following year she gave it to me. I could barely keep a straight face! LOL

My ex-husband bought me a Christmas Snow Globe with a kitten playing with a ball of yarn. The music it played? Hey Jude by The Beatles. Seriously? Not Christmas music? Still laugh when I think of it. Good guy, just a super awkward gift!

My worst Christmas? When I was snowed in at a hotel in Seattle. My family made the best of it, but I think we all just wanted to go home.

I was in the 6th grade and I was telling my mom that I wanted to shave my legs for the first time. She ended up telling my Aunt… who then came to the conclusion it would be a great xmas gift. So there I was xmas morning with a hot pink razor and my two brothers laughing hysterically.
