toys! toys! toys!

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.

what a lovely post Jude!
I love bringing the kidd-ite into the store. Its so much fun for him (and me) He loves everyone at the Queen St Commons, and so much for him to see and even do!
Of late, as we all know: he loves the children’s style hand pump piggie flashlights. I can’t hardly wait till he is appropriate age to be responsible for his own flashlight.
As well, the big ol’ hug-aplanets are SO much fun. I can’t help but eye the biggun up on the door. It makes a cozy seat as I have recent come to discover.
I think its grand that theres a little wee seat with puzzles etc for the kids to play at. P’lovers is so very kid friendly. And fully recognizes the importance of the 7th Generation philosophy.
