wildlingstoys is a boutique toy store that sells educational and developmentally centered toys. It's a small shop but it's packed full of goodies. Shelves are arranged by suggested age to make shopping easier. We went in for three gifts for varying ages and found some unique items, which is why we were avoiding big box stores and online shopping.
My favorites were found actually by my 7 year old for a 1 year old friend and a 2 year old friend. @slumberkins has a line of stuffies, with matching books, that guides through emotional intelligence. Although we picked them by which stuffies were our favorites, they each had a great lesson: building connections and a growth mindset. I also grabbed a matching set of positive affirmation cards for kids. Great find!
To top it off, the team member asked if these were each gifts and then put them each in a nice gift bag with matching tissue paper. What a wonderful and unexpected surprise!

   Read moreWe discovered Wildlings this week after searching for a specific stuffed animal my daughter had fallen in love with while on vacation. I saw this store had it on their online store and ventures there this weekend to see if we could find it. When we arrived shortly after opening they were unable to locate what we were looking for, but they took down my number and Jenni texted me later that afternoon that they were holding it for me! 10/10 for customer service. I love shopping small for this exact reason. My first impression, the store is SO cute! Great selection of books, crafts, and toys for all ages. Cool, niche, well made items that you won’t find in big box stores. Unfortunately my daughters are teens and growing out of toy stores, but I’m looking forward to my son getting a little older and being able to shop...
   Read moreI’ve been shopping at Wildlings Toy Boutique since my son was a newborn—over three years now—and it’s truly one of my favorite spots in Phoenix. The owner, Jenn, is amazing and kind, and she hand-selects every item to ensure it has real developmental value.
The staff are always friendly, helpful, and know the store inside and out. They carry an incredible selection of high-quality toys—Hape and Djeco are personal favorites—and are constantly getting in new, exciting products. The book section is also fantastic, with great options for all ages.
They offer the cutest gift wrapping and even sell birthday cards, making it a perfect one-stop shop before any party. You can really feel the care that goes into everything here....
