They have lots of toys, stuffed animals, games and puzzles. I had fun talking with the shop owner. We were both reminiscing back to a time we could actual play the game twister, with ease. Now it's a completely different story, lol. I recommend checking out this store, if you have kids or if you want to take a walk back into memory lane with all the nostalgic items they have.

I ordered the #PS509 Flight Attendant 3-D Wood Sign with a lower personalization plate for my…read moresister-in-law last month. She is now a retired Purser for a major US airline, and that plaque was just perfect for her retirement party. At first, the sign was showing not available on their website. A quick call to Nancy there at Tailwinds solved that problem (computer glitch), and the follow-on ordering was super easy! A few days later, Nancy called me back and said that the manufacturer suggested a slightly different formatting of the lower personalization plate (where the airline name and dates of service are printed.) I accepted that slight tweak, and in just a few days, the completed plaque was sent directly to my brother (so he could wrap it up for the pending party.) My sister-in-law LOVES the plaque, and it is now proudly displayed in her home office (along with all of my brother's USMC plaques from the '80s.) In fact, all of her fellow flight attendants just had to know where she got that sign from, so I quickly provided them a link to the Tailwinds.com website. Just some great products and excellent customer service! Thanks, Tailwinds, and Nancy!

Shortly after I received a call from a woman with Tailwinds reminding me that my order wouldn't be available for Christmas. Oopse!

As an adult the esthetics are calming, and it brings me back a decade and a half when my teens were little.

We will definitely continue to visit Tantrum Mill Valley!

Every single employee at Sprout San Francisco - Mill Valley is a consummate professional. They…read moregenuinely understand baby gear, how families actually live, and what works long term. Instead of offering canned answers, they ask thoughtful questions about your lifestyle and priorities, then guide you toward options that truly fit. That alone sets them apart. For context, I used to live in San Rafael but have since moved across the country to Washington, DC. While on a work trip back to California, I made a point to stop into the Mill Valley store even with very limited time, simply because I trust this team so much. On that visit, Molly spent over an hour with me walking through stroller options, breaking down components, pricing out configurations, and answering every question with total clarity and confidence. Her knowledge is exceptional. She has specs memorized, understands the nuances between brands, and clearly knows what makes baby gear safe, functional, and worth the investment. More than that, her professionalism and patience stood out. She treated this like the major life decision it is, not just another transaction. This store has been a part of my parenting journey from the very beginning over three and a half years ago, and I am endlessly grateful for the guidance, expertise, and care they provide. Molly exemplifies everything that makes Sprout San Francisco special, and I cannot recommend her or this location highly enough. I also want to note that Mika at Sprout San Francisco located on Union Street is equally wonderful. She opened my eyes to options I had not considered at the Mill Valley store and brought the same level of insight, thoughtfulness, and expertise to the experience. Shop at Sprout if you want true experts and phenomenal customer service.

It's much more effective for me to pepper him with questions rather than try to figure it all out on Reddit. He's incredibly passionate about the hobby. Not only that, but his prices are usually below eBay and others on the secondary market.
