They have a good variety of brands from Melissa&Doug, Brio, Lego, Schleich, and even my favorite toy car PlayForever!!! You definitely will be able to find cool things for almost anyone. Not only my little one had a fun time picking up his animal toys, but also I found myself had a great time looking at beautiful Playforever cars on the shelf. Price is fair imo. Staffs were friendly and helpful. They have gift wrapping service which is really convenient when you're in a time crunch. I wasn't sure whether if it's a complimentary service. I was busy looking at toys and forgot to take photos inside the shop, but highly recommended to check it out when you need to grab birthday gifts.

There are so many neat things packed in this store! I wish I wasn't done with my Christmas shopping! It has been many many years since a game and toy store made me smile and want to spend a lot of money. It is a warm inviting store that is not dusty nor awkward, which is normally the vibe I get from small toy stores. Parking: This store is located on one of the busiest streets in Clayton and although there is a very small lot in the back, you will most likely be parking in the street. TLDR: Worth checking out. You will most likely find something. Look at all the rows. Parking is near impossible.

What a great addition to this place! We love the unique decor and the warmth of the staff. Being able to try out the pens before buying them is a great way to avoid buying something that doesn't do what you need, but also leads to finding more things to try/buy! Pricing is reasonable, if you have the chance, stop by and check it out!

My St. Louis friend introduced me to this store and I'm happy for it!…read more They have a good selection of pens, both fountain and ball-point, and they come in a variety of colors too! I love that they even have refills too when your pen runs out. I think the star of the shop was their printing press, and there was a lot of artwork that comes off of it that they sell. I love the little $5 block prints that made perfect souvenirs. I'll be back someday to pick up one of their large art nouveau block prints! They kind of remind me of vintage wallpaper. We each bought a smooth writing pen for about $25 each, and they're the perfect size to carry around in a purse for quick notes.
