The Carmel Cat in Kimberley, BC is one of these shopping opportunities and it is quite a unique store full of gift possibilities that capture the eye and the imagination.
Situated in the
Platzl, a pedestrian shopping mall area near the center of town, The Carmel Cat has a ton of gift options that would suit virtually any occasion from birthdays to anniversaries to just-because-I-love-you moments. They have a nice selection of fashion jewelry and accessories that are sure to fit something in your wardrobe. The house wares are interesting and stylish and would make a statement in anyone's home.
