P’lovers the Environmental Store (Port Perry)

I love it when a grandparent enters the store looking for the perfect gift for the perfect grandchild. Oftentimes, I will see that grandparent again and again as they fill their grandchildren’s toy chests. I enjoy hearing how much the previous purchases were enjoyed and I love to help them choose the next gifts.

 Last week I spent time with a grandmother looking for a gift to surpass the ‘Build Your Own Kaleidoscope’ she gave her grandson. Digging through the children’s section was great fun. She left with a ‘Bug Tumble Floor Puzzle‘ along with many ideas for her next visit.

Often customers will begin telling me about the child they are buying for, their individuality, their likes and dislikes, their personalities and the desire to match the right toy, gift, activity or book or music to that special child. I than look forward to the feedback that invariably comes when the customer returns. If the puzzle was a hit, why not try giving a ‘Solar Science Kit‘ or one of our many co-operative games or an ‘Origami Kit’ or a rechargable Pig Flashlight? The choices are endless. I can not forget our children’s book section filled with many options for newborns through school age and right up to teen activists.

Being a parent, grandparent, Aunt or Uncle brings with it so many joys and unending excitement that I do so like to be a part of so please come on in and tell me about the wonderful children in your life.
