For a short time in July, The Moment Shop by AIR MILES is taking over a Toronto storefront to help members bring dream experiences to life. If they haven't already, visitors can become an AIR MILES collector and browse the shop's aisles to find a "moment" that they'd like to live out.

Members have a chance to win grand prize "moments" curated to all sorts of rewards preferences. Pet owners, for example, may be most drawn to The Most Pampered Pet Moment, a grand prize providing a $2,500 voucher at [Global Pet Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expedia-travel-shops), a [Dyson Animal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harrods) Hair Vacuum, a Dyson Air Purifier, an automatic ball launcher and more.

After The Moment Shop closes its doors on Toronto's Queen Street West, it will be popping up across Canada on a [national tour with a mobile shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shein-pop-up).
