    Baby gifts
    Sarah S.

    Beanstalk is so insanely adorable! It is packed to the brim with unique children's toys and it's the perfect spot to go to grab a gift for a special child in your life. They have butterflies hanging from the ceiling on some type of timer so they come down and raise up sporadically. The ladies working here are insanely helpful. We mentioned we were looking for a baby gift and she let us browse while bringing a bunch of great suggestions for gifts to us. It was nice and very thoughtful, explaining why each item was special, unique and would make a good gift for our situation and price point. When we checked out, they wrapped our gifts for us in adorable paper with ribbons at no extra charge. Truly a great experience shopping at Beanstalk. Support your local business instead of going to a big box store! The quality of service and items simply can't be matched.

    What an adorable toy store in the heart of beautiful Highland Park! We took our children here to check it out, and I'm surprised it took us so long! It's a kids' wonderland with all kinds of goodies for the children to play with. Old school Pacman game, mini piano, various cars and bikes, in addition to different types of playsets all adorn this cute store. Prices are on par with any other high end toy store, especially it being in Highland Park. However, it was a pleasant experience overall. Apparently they also have a downstairs where children can pay to play. We will definitely return!

    Classic games and magic sets.

    See all

    To begin with, I'm not a Lego person. I can appreciate it, but it's not my thing. My husband,…read morehowever, is. We don't have kids, but in the de Taylor household, I have to watch where I step, because there may be a Lego underfoot. Accordingly, my husband asked if we could stop by Brick Loot on the way home from Beyond the Cheddar Curtain, and I'm a team player. It's a pretty adorable store. The owner's dad** said that he has three main things that the store does. First, there's a monthly loot box for subscribers. Secondly, they sell lighting kits for legos. Finally, they sell legos themselves. It's not a huge shop, so it's not an alternative for going to the lego store. However, they have a lot of clever kits that I think the owner or the owner's dad put together, as well as the light kits and various spare parts. It's definitely a neat place to go for a lego enthusiast. The only thing I'd suggest is getting a "partner's chair" for when a partner comes along for the ride. However, I imagine that would also inspire inattentive parents to sit down and let their kids run wild, so perhaps that's not a good idea after all! ** The owner's dad was very clear that his 12 year old son was the owner and brain behind the operation, which I find pretty adorable too.

    Their light kits are made in China, very poor quality. The one I received had multiple issues,…read moreincluding one which made the install not possible. Customer "support" tried to blame me for it, refusing to send a replacement or refund. Will be contacting my bank to dispute this charge.

The store has quality high end inventory and great customer service in that they will store until you're ready, build and deliver your stroller to you free of charge.

But…read moreGalt & Buy Buy Baby are the two stores that I've heard of that carry a variety of strollers to compare, so off I went. This store isn't that large, though I don't know how it compares to other locations. They did have several strollers, all of the more expensive variety: Bugaboo, Uppababy, Cybex, etc.; you won't find a Graco or Chicco stroller here. I did appreciate that the woman showed me how to reverse the stroller, switch out the seat for the bassinet, and a variety of other features of the stroller. As I walked around she also told me about a couple of the gliders I was testing out, and showed me how simply one of the strollers worked with the carseat adapter. The employees here don't work on commission and that was good to hear, and were friendly enough making sure that I knew they were around if I needed help and then explaining things to me. She told me that if you purchase from them, they'll have someone put together the stroller, set up the car seat, crib and so on depending upon what you purchase. The cribs they had seemed to be of good quality and I'd like to take a closer look at them on another visit to some Galt location, since I know I'll probably make one.

I wasn't sure I was going to buy anything - I'm generally on the lookout for gifts for the kidlets in our lives. The store is bright and easy to navigate. The displays seemed to be arranged by age, which was really helpful as I looked at things for four kids ranging from two to thirteen. And because the emphasis is on screen-free play and interactive play, I knew I would get the parents' seal of approval on anything I picked out. If I can get their faces away from a phone or Nintendo Switch, even for 30 minutes, I'll be aunt of the year! The staff were warm and friendly, asking me a few times if I needed any help. Before I knew it, I had some holiday gifts selected for the littlest friends in my life. They'll be pleased with the crayon rings and books and fidget toys, and I can be pleased that I was able to support a local shop in our community. I'm looking forward to coming back as the kids' interests and ages change. And, let's be honest, I had as much fun there as I expect the kids will.

    This store was cute. I was greeted by multiple staff members when I entered. But I'm surprised how…read moredifficult it is in 2023 to find gender-neutral clothing. This shop didn't really seem to have much that was gender neutral, at least not for newborns. Even if I knew the sex of my baby I don't believe that there are specific colors for gender so I am not interested in having a closet full of just blue or pink things or otherwise gendered things. A couple of the staff greeted me but that was it. I wandered around and didn't really find much that piqued my interest. Parking is all on the street, and this is maybe just on the outskirts of the more active downtown area of Highland Park, so I imagine it can be difficult to park here (I think I had to circle the block once to find a spot that opened up). It's only a few blocks from Highland Park's Metra stop so that could be convenient if you need to make your way here.

It is a little pricey but this is high quality and OOAK merch that will be appreciated. Also wrapped for me, a plus!
