I wish I found out about this store sooner! WOW! Stepping in here made me feel like a kid again. I came in for some last minute Christmas gifts last month, and I wanted to buy the whole store! As an educator, I really appreciated the variety of learning toys. As a parent and aunt to many, I appreciated being able to find unique and affordable gifts that were a huge hit at Christmas. Everyone wanted to know where I shopped!
I found teaching tools, learning manipulatives, art supplies, a great selection of musical toys, classic wooden toys, Legos, puzzles, games, interactive science kits, infant and toddler developmental toys, all kinds of stuffed animals, and so many wonderful books!
They carry brands like Melisa and Doug, Lego, Fat Brain Toys, Usborne Books and more. Seriously just check it out! I would not have expected the prices to be so affordable, less than what I would have paid on Amazon!
Finally I have to mention the employees. I visited on what was probably the busiest shopping day of the year, and the employees were working super hard to make sure every customer in the store was taken care of. Kind, knowledgeable, helpful, going above and beyond for their customers. Kudos...
Read moreWow! I mean: WOW! This is my new favorite place in the world. Huge selection of high-quality toys for children and, um, "big children", too. :-) Staff is very friendly and helpful. Prices are absolutely amazing! I look at a game or toy I expect to be $40 or so (what Barnes and Noble or even Amazon would charge for it) and it is $9.99 or $19.99. The amazing selection was so affordable it was hard to stop myself from going overboard. And these were not generic games and toys or something but the real deal. They also have lots of small toys for a dollar or two but, like I said, even the larger toys and games are priced VERY affordably. They also have art supplies, purses and jewelry, books, etc. Pretty much anything (and I am not exaggerating) you could find on Amazon, you will be able to find at Smartickles and for probably even less than Amazon would charge. I was truly amazed when my 8 year-old daughter and I came here yesterday for the first time. We stayed for two hours (until they closed) but could have stayed a lot longer. We will be returning very soon. You will not regret...
Read moreWho knew how Amazon would shape how people would shop? The folks at Smarticles must have!
Whether you are shopping for a special gift from a favorite aunt, looking for something unique - and within budget- for your child, or a grandparent not knowing what might interest your precious grandchildren, help is only a phone call away. I have heard pediatrics therapists comment on the huge sensory development options available in this special store. I shop Smarticles because their STEM selection is amazing and thoroughly engaging!
If are limiting your excursions out, Julie can suggest, select and send specific photos for your approval. If you still like browsing in person, the store exceeds all safety standards AND includes the warm and friendly connection that we all crave.
I would like to Think I purposefully shop locally to support my community- but I Know I shop here because it is the Smartest / Safest option of all!
Thank you team...
