We brought our niece & were very happy with the great selection, a little of everything. The store was neat & well organized. At the register, the staff person asked if the gifts were for one person. We explained they were all for our niece who excitedly picked them out herself for her birthday. The staff agreed it was the way to go, no returns. Then she asked, Do you want them wrapped? Our very shy 7 yr old niece smiled brightly and said yes. As the staff proceeded to wrap the gifts, they complained loud enough for all of us to hear. If you are going to be rude about it, please, next time do not ask a 7 year old if they want their present wrapped.

Excellent selection and super friendly staff. The sweet older lady checking me out insisted on giving me a gift bag after finding out the purpose of my purchase even though it was a relatively small Lego set. You will find a bit of everything here, from games to pool toys with some great sales on right now. Everyone is taking extra precautions for COVID as well, which I greatly appreciate. Even though I didn't have many questions, being a toy need myself, they certainly seemed ready to help me find whatever I was looking for and make recommendations 😊 I love this store and will definitely be back.

My mother and I just stopped in for some early Christmas browsing for my 3 kiddo's. And, truly what a wonderful children's gift shop! We bought so many great thing's that you can't really appreciate unless you see them in person. I will definitely be back, and recommend this store for anyone seeking a perfect children's gift or baby shower present. Bonus points for the free gift wrap done by the wonderful sales staff!

This toy shop is loaded with gift options and ideas for any age - even adults will find something fun. The staff are so kind and will help guide you if you need it. The free and fast gift wrapping makes it that much easier. I appreciate having a unique and quality store that is not part of the big box store epidemic.

I love coming here because they have so many unique toys and great for gifts. They price competitively to bigger stores or online so this is great for when you want to browse for a gift and get an idea of what's in right now. They also offer to wrap the gifts for you which is a win win for me! They recently expanded so is more spacious and easier to maneuver a stroller around the place. I'm a happy repeat customer!

This is the best toy store around! The people who work there are not only friendly and helpful, but are very knowledgable about the best of the best toys for children of all ages. The know what's the latest toy craze and how to play every game. If they don't have it in stock, they will bend over backwards to get the item for you! The gift wrap (for free) and in the cutest ways! This place is so much more than your neighborhood toy store!

I was trying to find a small gift to send to my granddaughter at camp. Wanted it to be small to fit the envelope & inexpensive. They went out of their way to find just the right gift. Then when I was leaving I asked if I could buy an envelope. The owner not only gave me an envelope but the postage to cover the gift. There was no charge. The woman were all knowledgeable & kind. Wonderful experience.Mary Best, Northfield
