The Owner, K.C. has a true passion for her craft -I'll never forget when she gathered up her staff to demonstrate to me how the game Happy Salmon works -it was Hilarious!! They have so much fun there, and you will too! It's the best place to go to buy children's gifts that will get ALL the "oohs and aahhs" at the party! Does it cost a couple more bucks than Amazon? -In most cases yes, but it's worth every penny to support your local business and its incredible staff! -Ali

We discovered Monkey Fish Toys (local locations in West Chester and Chester Springs) when a friend…read moregifted us a nice toy with gift receipt. We already had a very similar toy and it was a little young for my son's development so we were very grateful for the gift receipt to exchange. They have a large selection of Legos, and the science and STEM/STEAM type kits were prolific as well. It's nice to see most everything is vetted to make a kid think as they play, and there weren't mindless commercial gimmick toys or vapid crap promoting some character/tv/movie franchise. Toys were attractively arranged, neatly on display, easy to see, and price tags were clear and present. Some toys were fairly priced, like stuffed animals and Legos (curated sets, not basic ones), but we found the STEM/STEAM and science-y stuff to be a bit overpriced. The kit we exchanged for was 20% cheaper on Amazon. Another board game was 3x the price of the identical thing at Ollie's. I always try to support local businesses, but I don't have the kind of disposable income where I can afford to pay much over competitor prices. For what my son wanted, we felt a little frustrated driving a half hour from home (each way) and paying $6 more than having Amazon shipped to our door. Yes, it was a gift credit, so we didn't "pay" ourselves, but to have gotten a comparable price plus a small $6 extra little toy would have been nice. I think this is a great store to find items unavailable elsewhere (like some of the collectible LEGO sets, and stuffed animals), or for people unfamiliar with current kids' toys (grandparents, etc.) to get good recommendations and solid choices. Paying a premium is worth it to them. They did mention a rewards program, so locals will benefit from that taking the edge off of the competitor margins. We don't live close enough to take advantage of that.

Really great hobby shop for all things trains. My father recently got my girls a Lionel train set…read morefor Christmas so we stopped in here to see what other options were available to add to our new set. They have an amazing selection of trains, including all different gauges, also miniature buildings, animals, people and everything else for your trains set. We didn't have an opportunity to stay too long so I'll be back to take a more in depth look in the near future. The staff are very helpful and super knowledgeable so come with questions and leave with answers. They also have a display with several trains set up with buttons for people to try to see what lights up or makes sound. The trains were not moving while we were there and they were kind of busy in the lead up to Christmas so we didn't ask to have them running, but I'm sure they would have turned them on if we had asked.

The best part is the super friendly and knowledgeable staff, the free snacks for the kids, and the Keurig for mom and dad to enjoy while they are shopping.

I went into the store mainly for their Jelly Cat collection. They have such a verity or stuffed animals..it's amazing. It's hard to find toys that aren't just plastic or tech driven. It's nice to find quality toys that kids can be creative with and also learn with. There are so many great options at PucciManuli. I can't recommend this place enough.

Being nerds and collectors…read moreourselves, its nice to see things outside conventions and local that we can stop by and check out. First, its a little confusing where this is. It's located INSIDE of State Theater Vintage Emporium, which is an adventure in itself. Walk in the doors, go up the stairs and its the first "big" fixture/box shop on the left. They carried everything and anything anime and Japanese from plush, figures, cards/card games to even straight from Japan video games and trinkets for Ita Bags. They even had some Pocky, Ramune and other Japanese snacks for purchase. I think we saw the owner restocking as we perused and he was very personable mentioning he could answer any questions we had. Prices were in line/if not better than ones I see at conventions and online. Overall a great place to stop if you're in the market for current or vintage Japanese goods.

Lucky Duck Toys has proved to be an awesome exception! Let's be clear, I'm still not done my holiday shopping for my nieces and nephews. That is on me and Lucky Duck Toys cannot help that one.

I'm not sure if it is just a holiday thing or year-round, but after purchase I was provided with free gift wrapping. And I mean legit wrapping with ribbon on top - that ain't happening on-line that is for sure. I'll certainly be back for more toys this time next year, if not sooner for birthdays!

The moment we enter Lucky Ducks, we were welcome warmly, the ladies at the cashier were super friendly. My daughter couldn't decide what she wants so we were at each aisle over and over again lol. You know the best part? Bet every parent experience this. The ladies that worked there, didn't have any annoying look or smirks or anything like that. I would definitely go back there. P.s.
