Can I be in love with a store? Is it even possible? YES! I love this place. I'm always on the lookout for great gift stores, most especially for kids and I found an incredible one. This is a gift store for all ages.

I came here twice in one week to buy presents for kids of various ages. First time I came I bought all unicorn-themed gifts for my soon to be four-year old nephew. He's crazy about unicorns. I got him stickers that are puffy to place throughout a book, a unicorn stuffed animal and a guided-journal that is unicorn themed with a horn that lights up when you press on it. So unique. The gift bag, ribbons and bow selection were simply, absolutely, jaw-dropping amazing. I know he's going to love the gifts.

I bought stuffed animal cross-shoulder purses (one a hedgehog, and the other a sloth!) and dream-catcher pouches. I bought gift bags too. Tissue paper was provided gratis both times when I was checking out. Stickers too that were thrown in the gifts bags for the girls. They were ecstatic when they opened their gifts.

I wish I had hours to spend looking at everything in the store- it's impressive just the sheer amount of stuff that is in the store. Literally thousands upon thousands of items. Multiple floors too.

Their Inventory is interesting and truly a time capsule, but it's dirty and over priced. I loved coming here in the past, simply because of the nostalgia and tradition, but I prefer to feel welcome so I will pass next time. We left within 5 mins, told the male employee to have a nice evening and he simply stared at me. I think the people are simply rude or maybe they didn't like that I had children with me. Either way there's plenty of other...

Cute store with lots of whimsical Christmas, Halloween items primarily and some other stuff. They have cute displays all over the shop though they don’t turn the trains on. Some of the stuff is so old that there is dust gathered on them though the prices are still quite high for how old the items are, the price tag has even faded. Regardless of that I’d buy things simply because they are unique finds having said that the lady that runs the store is less than friendly that primarily deterred me from buying more. I was quite turned off by...
