Lots of unique toys, clothes and other stuff for the kids. Not your run of the mill toy store or clothing store. Think more of the one of a kind finds instead of where to go for the coveted toy of the season. Prices are higher than the mass produced department stores, but you won't find most of these items elsewhere. Many handmade and customized accessories and clothes. Fun colors, designs and textures. It's small, cozy and welcoming. Friendly and helpful staff without being pushy. They have toys and clothes for all ages, both boys and girls. Due to the size of the store, they may not have the exact size of the item you like available but ask and they will try to get it for you. If you are looking for unique gifts for the little monsters in your life, this is your place! read more

See all

This place came highly rated on yelp, so since I was in the area I decided to check it out. As a toy collector, a lover of the unique, an Uncle of 10 and a new proud parent, I thought this place would be right up my alley. Don't believe the hype folks. "Not your run of the mill kids stuff" Reality- It's true, it's damn true. They have toys in here that I didn't even know existed. It's stuff that you won't see on the shelves at your local big box or even regular toy stores. As far as gifting goes, if you buy something from here, you won't have to worry about someone else getting the same gift. These toys are pretty cool, and that's the problem- I think they're pretty cool. Will your kid think they're cool? Probably not. Take for example the line of Fischer Price "Retro" toys they carry. They caught my eye right away, they're the toys we used to play with, like the rotary telephone with the goofy eyes on it or the record player with the plastic records. It's a great gift to get the adults in the room talking, but lets be honest, what kid knows what a record player or rotary phone is? So why would they play with it? Most kids wake up in the morning, eat their Lucky Charms to get their Spongebob toy out of the box, put on their Spider-Man shoes and Batman shirt to go to Legoland for a McDonalds Happy Meal lunch featuring Hot Wheels toys. They have barely anything that has a license. Just some small Hello Kitty toys. Anything that's not on a Saturday morning cartoon could get you mean mugs from little ones. That's not saying they don't have anything the kiddies wouldn't like. They have two racks of small toys and accessories that are expensive, but are the perfect little gifts for party favor bags if you throw a kids party. I might stop back for a few of these around my little ones BDay. "Baby gear and furniture" Reality- Where is this stuff? This store is super small, and outside of a few racks of clothes, all I really see is toys. "Unique Gifts" Reality- I think "Unique" is a code word for "Expensive". I may live cheap, but I have absolutely no problems spending big money on cool stuff, as evidenced by the toys my daughter already owns. But the markup at this place is ridiculous. I saw the clothes, and knowing my daughter needed some onesies, I asked the lady if they had any. She showed me about 3 of them and they were pretty cool. Cool little drawings of animals on the front, 100% organic material, I was sold. I remember thinking that they were so cool, I'd pay $20 for one. I asked the lady how much for this one, she told me "37.50"! 37 bucks? My jaw dropped. Does she realize that a baby is just going to make a mess of this onesie for six months? Maybe if my wife and I were Kim and Kanye we could do this, but I have a hard time believing that in a blue collar city like this a store with so little to offer continues to exist. Bottom line- Good for rich Grandparents, Aunts or Uncles to get the kids in their lives some toys that are nice to look at but probably won't be played with, but bad for parents. read more

Little Monsters - Toy Stores Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Stopped by Little Monsters to get a present for a coworker and I had to stop myself from going overboard, there are so many cute gift options! If you're in search of a present or something for your little one, you will probably find it at Little Monsters, they have the cutest clothes, books, and toys! I couldn't figure out what to get my coworker and the owner swooped with a recommendation which I thought ended up being a great present for a mama who isn't going to find out the gender of their baby! And then she wrapped the gift- it really just added that personal touch, would definitely recommend you stop by! #thankyouthursday read more

Little Monsters carries toys and other kiddie gifts (not really a furniture store) that you cannot find anywhere in the area. I have absolutely no experience purchasing kids' items, so I walked into the store after my Pilates class hoping to find something for my friends' newborn. I was greeted by the salesperson and offered some great suggestions on what to buy. She didn't try to up-sell me by showing me the most expensive items. She showed me some of the more popular and useful things a baby could use, like Sophie the snobby French giraffe (which I happen to hear is laced with some drug because babies love this thing)! In any case, my shopping experience here was so positive that I've been a repeat customer ever since. The toys and clothes here are so cute that I want to start having my own kids soon.......oops, not really, but you get my point! read more

This is a great little store for the unique kinds of gifts that can't be found just anywhere. Here's the thing. I'm a proud new parent. This has vaulted me into a world of birthday parties and other parents for which I'm gravely ill prepared. If you show up at a birthday party with a gift from here, generally it will not be duplicated in the gift opening process. Additionally, it seems to provide you with some form of parental currency notating you are a thoughtful and competent person. This is not the case, however perception is reality so....good for me! Go here, shop or play with some of the toys yourself. It's quite fun. Buy gifts for the "little monsters" in your life and everyone is happy!! read more

Sometimes Mike (our dentist) descends into Andie's cheerful store for a bagful of candy. We know...what's a dentist doing eating candy? Candy is good for the soul! And if you brush, you're good to go. I even buy gifts for my mom (who has memory issues) at Little Monsters. She loved the paper dolls! -Lora DeWan Dental Wellness read more

Fantastic place to get clothing or toys for children. Not your run of the mill kid stuff, unique items that are certainly worth the visit.

I decided to some Christmas shopping for my nieces and nephew at Little Monsters. It was an okay experience. I was hoping to get something unique and outside-the-box in the way of toys, but they just didn't have that hear. What they lacked in selection, they made up for in service. I am pretty sure it was the owner who was working. She was very helpful, and even gave me a free rice krispy pop because I had to wait a while for her to wrap another customers toys. read more

EXCELLENT selection of high quality European toys, interesting books and games, and funky clothing. I could spend a couple of hours just going through it all. Even better, the owner was lovely and not-at-all pushy like some boutique owners can be. Will be back! read more
