    Sweet display
    Emma J.

    This is such a sweet shop! Over the years, little independent children's stores seem to be fewer and farther between. And when you do find one, oftentimes they're ridiculously $$$$ and kind of bare.... But not Magical Child! Magical Child is legit. I love popping in here every once in a while, as they have a great rotation of products. Some items are mainstays too, which gives a nice familiarity to the space. Service is always low key and friendly, no pushy sales around here. My son is usually busy exploring & being loud whenever we visit, but they never bat an eye. They keep it a comfortable shopping experience, which I totally appreciate.

    What a lovely little shop! I needed a gift for a newborn and this was the perfect place! Locally owned and everyone on staff is super sweet and helpful. The shop has clothes for newborns through toddlers and is packed with all kinds of fun toys, games, books and more. Everything is thoughtfully curated. You can't not find a gift here. They also offer gift wrap and of course it's perfection! They also have an online shop and ship!!

    Magical Child is a magical world for the baby, child, and inner child. Old school wood handcrafted non-toxic toys, figurines, fruits, veggies, and animals. Heirloom quality baby gifts, thoughtfully curated educational books that are also instrumental in activating one's imagination. Cool clothes for the active boy and fashion forward dresses for the girly girl in your life. Price point range varies for the budget conscious and the extravagant luxurious world travelers. The staff is friendly, enthusiastic, and informative without being overbearing. Complementary gift wrapping to top off a one stop shopping exodus Is the bow on top of the gift. You can't put a price on memories as my girls and I have visited this sweet boutique for 24 years and still do for nostalgia.

    I had such a great experience at magical child! I got help buying newborn outfits, twin girls, and we were able to find different outfits that went together but weren't the same. The staff was wearing masks and very kind. I will definitely go back to buy my girls more treats! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    The shop has some classic items (picked up a "Make Way for Ducklings", and a hand-turned, wooden baby rattle), as well as some new stuff (organic fiber, bamboo swaddling cloth, NICE!).

She tears through target clothes the first day she wears them. She has yet to put a hole in one of her Precious Petals dresses. Last night, we did a collaboration with the store next door and had a mommy daughter style session. Michelle picked some really wonderful outfits for my daughter! She loves them! Not only is she happy with the comfort, but she feels beautiful and I know she will have these outfits until she grows out of them! Yes, you will spend more than the garbage you normally buy at department stores, but your kid will be comfortable and will be able to wear her favorite dress or leggings for as long as she can squeeze into them!!

I don't know…read moretheir sizes or what kind of dress they liked so I drove up from San Diego and they came into town just to visit this shop. Michelle was out doing a personal errand, but I called and explained how we we're all visiting Carlsbad just for her store and she came back immediately! I was so grateful that she made time for us, and she was very helpful with showing the girls which dresses to try, which size to get, and which colors were available. They each found the perfect dress, and when the dresses arrived in store, Michelle rushed the delivery to my house! I am beyond pleased with this store and the personal service. I hope I don't have little girls because everything in her shop was so cute and I'll end up buying everything!

    My grandchildren, like most children whose age is a single digit, think that every store should…read moresell toys and that more is better. They have a point. Grocery stores stock toys at kids' eye level. Target has several aisles stocked with toys that have their own television shows. Best Buy displays toys next to the checkout line. Gepetto's in Carlsbad is a small store stocked with top-quality toys, and in my experience staffed with people who are always eager to help and often able to help. The place is insane during the week before Christmas, but the staff somehow copes. I try not to go there at Christmastime. Shopping with a child for toys in a store whose inventory is not advertised on television is much simpler and more satisfying than taking the same kid to Target. Trust me, I've done both. Since in general the toys at Gepetto's are unknown to the child, there is far less of the "gimme gimme" that happens at Target. And whether a toy is still interesting and unbroken the next day is unrelated to its advertising. A 5-year-old in my family was astonished that there were no Minecraft toys at Gepetto's, and asked if we could go to the nearby bookstore because it would for sure have Minecraft toys. I find Gepetto's selection of child-compatible art supplies to be superior to what's in stores like Michael's, but they cost more. I don't mind.

    I am a great fan of Gepetto's. It is not a toy store but it is a magical world of creativity…read more It is my first time here at the Gepetto's Forum. There are ample parking spots in the Forum. The shop is spacious and well organized. They have a lot of great merchandise to explore. For example; puzzles, board games, Legos, gel pens and other stationary items. In addition to an amazing collection of toys,stuffed animals, dolls, arts and crafts. The staff were very nice. The service was efficient. It is just an awesome place to shop at or buy some gifts.
