The Good Stuff
Wide variety
The selection ranges beyond gifts; one reviewer said they could find virtually everything there at good prices.
Toy section
The children’s toy area was described as well organised and stocked with a sizeable assortment.
Dress selection
Dresses are one of the more specifically praised clothing finds in the reviews.
Sale offers
Several reviews mention good offers and best-price deals across the store.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check dates. Check expiry dates on creams and other consumables before paying, after one reviewer reported receiving expired cream.
Inspect toys. Openly inspect or test toys where possible; one remote car reportedly smelled of smoke and burning.
Keep receipts. Keep the bill and packaging if buying clothes or electronics, since a shopper without either could not exchange a shirt.
Allow time. Avoid peak periods if possible: one customer reported waiting an hour for a new item before learning it was not yet for sale.
Check bags. Ask about the shopping-bag charge before checkout, as separate payment for a branded plastic bag has been disputed.

The Bottom Line
Gift Garden Department Store suits shoppers who enjoy browsing a low-cost, mixed selection rather than visiting for one tightly defined product. Reviews mention gifts, everyday essentials, children’s toys and clothing, with dresses getting a specific nod. The attraction is the chance of finding something useful or unusual without spending much.
The kids’ toys area was described as well organised and stocked with an assortment of toys, while other shoppers highlight sale offers and prices below AED 10. 75, and one review mentioned vitamin C at 4 AED, though these are customer-reported past prices rather than a current price list. Quality and after-sales service are the main cautions.
Customers report defective toys, including a remote car that smelled of smoke and burning, and several say refunds or exchanges were refused. One reviewer also alleged that an expired cream caused skin damage. Staff experiences vary: some describe friendly help, but others report rude or unhelpful treatment, especially during returns.
Check expiry dates, inspect toys, and keep your receipt and packaging. It is also worth asking about bag charges before paying. If you need help with a new item, allow extra time; one shopper waited an hour before being told it was not yet for sale.
