They sell shirts with their logo and my husband buys the latest shirt every time we are in town. I like that they've rearranged the store and moved the register and aisles.

A lot of my childhood memories don't even really include buying things here- my parents weren't exactly rolling in the dough in the 90's but this place was so magical I never left disappointed. But- here's my adult perspective review. I love coming here for the nostalgia, gifts for everyone in my life, the seasonal items, and for The dopamine hit. I love all of their fidget toys, tiny silly toys like baby doll race cars (as in a car in the shape of a baby), blind box toys and their trading set up, and baby section. This is where you go when your friend is having a baby and already has all of the gear she needs. This is where you get stickers, your Christmas ornaments, a jellycat moon that is larger than you, a family of squirrels, a custom dollhouse family...I could go on and on.

Not sure it would render a visit to go out of your way to this Austin location unless you were actually in the area, but we personally were glad to stop by. It is located amongst residential houses and next to small boutiques and various small businesses in the area. So not much of a store and maybe just call versus stopping in if you are seeking something. Or better yet, save yourself the trip and just visit their online store.

Even when she's not in town, I find myself going there for her to get Sonny Angels and Smiskis that are oh so popular these days. The store's entrance has slightly been taken over by blind boxes, but if you step to the other side, there are so many exciting toys all over the place here. It's always a thrill to step in and find a little trinket to take home with me. A true toy store. We are lucky to still have some like this in Austin. RIYL: Childhood wonder

Little Limbo may not be large, as the name suggests, but it's really about the quality of items for sale here. I was able to find a lot of really awesome gifts for friends and couldn't help but laugh at a ton of items because they were either sarcastic or goofy. I dig that. The children's selection here is on point. I don't have any kids in my life, but if I did, this would be the kind of store I'd shop at. They have funny onesies and quirky and colorful toys, that you can just tell are from local artists and is unique. In addition to lots of cool kid's stuff here, they have a few home decor and accessories, some graphic tees, books and trendy greeting cards. I found a Michael Scott greeting card, which was perfect for my best friend. Five stars, indeed.

It seems that a variety of children's clothing are colorful with every shade of pink or blue. Delightful and cheerful little place. I was trying to visit and buy some items for nieces and nephews birthdays and found many toys galore. I really had a good time going through the clothing and toys jewelry ect. The parking is hard especially if you are hours of 10 to 5. The store is cluttered so if you looking for a special item you really have to look in a small space but a area of very interesting children's things of all sorts. I was armored by the selection of toys either it was a wooden or plastic metal toy it was a very great selection. My thought was how did the owner find such wonderful and interesting stuff? Truly a gem of a place if you are looking for that one fun toy or that one princess outfit. This place has it. Kudos for the sweetest place.

Store is jam packed with a range of toys from trinkets / small stocking-type stuffer toys to candy to stuffed animals / squishmallow type stuffies.

Prices are a little high, but typical for any airport store. Definitely good in a bind!
