Istanbul comes to mind.....

I'm the kind of husband that would get a nice piece of stainless tubing, cut a bit off, chamfer the edges really nicely with the dremel, and polish it for her. Get the jeweller to engrave it....'toe jam catcher', or something catchy like that.

Good luck with the search though, if you'd rather not make her one. How hard can it be?

According to google Walmart carries them. Any place that carries those spinning cases of jewelry(Walmart, shoppers) might have them. Careful not to overthink it- a toe ring is nothing like a normal ring. Meaning- it's not meant to be fancy or great quality for that matter. So don't go looking for/expect "bling". Should be simple, not something with diamonds or a bunch of business.

Usually find them this time of year at the mall in those kiosks.. little booths set up things...

Anywhere you find a belly button ring, will have a toe ring.

I have neither, but I do have an 18 year old daughter.. Lol...

I know absolutely nothing about women (and likely never will) but for something like a toe ring, she's never thought that maybe over the last few years to just get one herself on the other 364 days a year? I get that it's great when a loved one can pick up on the subtle/not-so-subtle hints about something highly desired and gets it as a gift, and maybe it's just me here, but a toe ring is just the type of thing that is probably better off if you buy it yourself.

A nice pair of earrings or a bracelet I completely understand. A toe ring, I just don't get it. Plus like the other poster says, a nice toe jam catcher just grosses the heck outta me.

Default Something different.

Maybe try Tattoo and piercing places they probably deal with more of that stuff.
Or try Amazon there is still time for shipping.

I would definetely give crowleys jewellers in kinngsway mall a try. Ask for either Barry or Mary and they'll be able to help you out. If they don't have it they for sure be able to track one down for you. Good luck on your quest!

Book a vacation at a 4.5 to 5 star resort in Mexico, buy her one there. You can thank me later.
