Delivery That Delivers More: How Laywine’s Is Choosing Inclusion at Checkout
There’s a particular kind of satisfaction that comes with a Laywine’s order. From the look and feel of the products to the care in packaging, every detail is considered. Now, there’s another reason to love a Laywine’s order: every delivery is an opportunity to support inclusive employment in our city.
Meet Laywine’s
Opened in 1987, Laywine’s has been Toronto’s destination for lovers of fine stationery and writing instruments for nearly four decades. The shop carries a thoughtfully curated selection of pens, notebooks, and accessories sourced from around the world, chosen by people who genuinely love what they sell.
The Laywine’s team aren’t just staff; they’re collectors, design enthusiasts, and the kind of experts who can help you find exactly the right item, even when you’re not quite sure what you’re looking for.
A true Toronto institution, Laywine’s has always stood for more than stationery. It’s built on the belief that the right tools, a pen you’ll keep for years or a notebook that becomes part of your daily ritual, can shape how people think, create, and connect.
That same philosophy extends to how they show up in their community. By selecting Good Foot Delivery as a delivery partner, Laywine’s is sending a clear message: we care about what happens after you click “buy,” and we care about the people who make it happen. They understand that a job as a courier with Good Foot provides more than a paycheque; it provides structure, a sense of belonging, and the opportunity to be a visible, contributing part of the local economy.
Why Laywine’s Said Yes
The partnership started the way the best ones often do: not in a boardroom, but at a dinner party. When Good Foot’s Executive Director Carey struck up a conversation with Gareth, Laywine’s Managing Director, about what an inclusive delivery option could look like, the enthusiasm on both sides was immediate.
“When Carey first told me about Good Foot, what struck me was how elegantly simple the idea is. A courier service that employs neurodivergent adults and runs entirely on the TTC — it does real good without asking much of anyone. Choosing it at checkout is the kind of small action that compounds. For Laywine’s, it fits naturally with how we think about our place in Toronto. We care about the community we operate in, and we care about the planet. These values are reflected in the Good Foot team. We’re glad to introduce more of our customers to a service that’s already making the city better.”

For Laywine’s, delivery isn’t just logistics; it’s part of the experience and another opportunity to reflect their values. And with Good Foot at checkout, that’s exactly what it does.
What It Means When You Order
Here’s the thing about choices: they add up.
When your Laywine’s order arrives via Good Foot, you’re not just getting great stationery; every order delivered by Good Foot is, in a small but important way, a vote for the kind of city we want to live in.
Most of us want to contribute to something better; we just rarely get a clear, easy way to do it. Good Foot offers a new opportunity for Laywine’s customers to easily support a good cause and a hopeful vision for the future of our city. No extra steps, no premium to pay. Just a delivery that does a little more good in the world.
