Super cute toy store on Magazine. They have great choices for young children and even some fun adult stuff in the back. (Not that kind). This is a great store for getting birthday party gifts. read more

I feel like this place is a little under the radar, which is crazy because it's amazing! And this is coming from a child-free by choice person. I have found the most unique gifts for my niece and nephew here, and they gift wrap, too! Displays are grouped by theme, so it's easy to find what you're looking for- or get lost in all the fun stuff there is to look at, like I did. I even found a stocking stuffer for my husband, a win! There is also an impressive book selection. And right now, there's a red mailbox outside, where kids can mail letters to Santa. This place is an absolute treasure, DO NOT miss it when you're strolling on Magazine! There's something for everyone! #ThankYouThursday read more

Seriously, the best toy store in NOLA. I always find something fun for the kids (or the adults who act like kids) in my life. Recent purchases include: coloring books (for a my teen niece recovering from surgery), a Saints ball, washable markers (for the younger nieces), NOLA music CD for kids and a pig that shoots balls out of his nose. Yep this visit was part of my annual Magazine-Street-Black-Friday-Shopping-Extravaganza with my Mom. read more

I don't have children and neither do most of my friends, so I'm really clueless about what kids these days like. A lot of times when I don't know what to get my friends, I'll get them booze or a gift card, but I thought that practice might be frowned upon with children. So it was with much trepidation that I visited Magic Box to find the perfect gift for my cousin. Thankfully, the staff at Magic Box was extremely helpful, not to mention patient with my lack of decisiveness. This is the kind of service that you will not get at certain big box toy stores. Magic Box also has the kind of selection that you will not find in its corporate counterparts. The selection (thankfully) favors the more educational and creative toys, but you will find toys of all types here. Magic Box has a much more extensive website than I would have expected. Most notably, it allows you to browse by toy category and age group. You can also order online via the website, but I haven't personally tried this service. I highly recommend you check out Magic Box, especially if the thought of picking out the perfect toy sends you in a state of panic. read more

Magic Box is a godsend for all of us with hundreds of birthday parties to attend a year. I all on a Friday, giving them child specifics and a budget along with my cc number, and pickup a beautifully wrapped present a few hours later on my way home from work. What a time saver! Boutique shops like this cost more but you are supporting a local business and it's a convenience. Service here is great as well. read more

Well I gotta say I've never seen so many employees seem happy to work where they work. Everyone was just so joyful. Maybe it's the Christmas spirit or getting to be Santa's helpers? I don't know but it was a breath of fresh air compared to the big box stores. Their prices are a bit high (I found a tiny doll that I bought at ye random big box for $5 that they had priced for $19) but don't go here for the stuff you'd find at ye random big box, come here for the unique stuff. I found several games I'd never seen before, several building sets that I'd only seen online and a bunch of unique dress up items that my daughters are going to squee over. Mommy notes: Street parking sucks since they are so close to whole foods - combine two trips into one?, store is super tight, play area in back, 16 or under must be accompanied by an adult, super friendly employees! read more

My kids received gifts shipped today from Magic Box Toys. They were gift wrapped beautifully and packed securely. They received a toy, activity/art/learning book, and a puzzle, all fabulous and unique. The kids were thrilled, and I was impressed by the thoughtful treatment of gift items shipped to us. It was nothing like what I'd expect from mail order - it was a personal touch, even a thousand miles away :) Thanks, Magic Box! You have a new fan in Colorado! read more

I have in the past received assignments that were handled with ease. Whether that was chasing a bad guy up a dark alley or dealing with a hostile Judge. However today my wife gave me a task that caused beads of sweat to appear on my forehead. To seek out and find a fun toy for a two year old and it has to be done today. I have not shopped for toys since I had a full head of hair. Turned to my trusted backup: YELP. Typed in "Toys" in the Nearby link and up popped The Magic Box. Immediately made my way to the target and entered with three words on my lips and looking for someone to tell them to. Those words were "I need help." And there was Malcolm who had the knowledge, patience, and friendliness I was seeking this morning. Got the job done with a very large smile on my face. And they do gift wrap for a $1.00 and they do it quickly. Great gift, birthday card and the toy gift wrapped in a jiffy. Of course I am going to take all the credit for my expert knowledge in finding great toys for children along with the most professional wrapping that I have on the gift. Just hope no one at the birthday party reads this review. Only reason The Magic Box is not a five star for me is that I have no other place to compare it to. read more

This uptown place is where I go for gifts for babies to 10 year old kids. You can find gifts by age, by sex, by categories of what they like (science, cars, brain-benders,music, etc.). I love the large selection of good quality toys. read more

Return policy sucks and do your own homework before you go. Associate (Raven) recommended the wrong size legos to me even though she assured me they were the right size. When I got home and opened the box, they were exactly the size I specifically said I did not it want. When I tried to take them back, she said, sorry, there's nothing I can do. No returns on sale items. This product was not even in the sale section when I bought it. So disappointed. read more

I went in here with my 15 month old for the first time today and we were impressed! The employees make it a welcoming and fun experience. It's really not pricey considering the quality of toys they carry read more

I recently bought a toy for my child for Christmas here. The owner kindly helped me pick it out and my son loved it. Unfortunately it broke soon after. When I went to take it back the person helping me could not have been nicer about it and replaced it immediately. I almost never write reviews but I was so impressed and happy with the wonderful experience I had at the Magic Box. read more
