This is a great neighborhood toy store for gifts and toys for the kids. It is a tiny toy shoppe -…read morejust like is says at the front of the building. What it lacks in space, it has a nicely curated layout and selection of toys, party favors, games, books, coloring/art toys, costumes, accessories for girls and stuffed animals. I came in here wanting to get a gift for a 2 year old boy and a 3 year old girl. I'm picky when it comes to toys and games. I don't like plasticky gimmicky toys and want something that isn't offensive to look at. I'm a design snob. They have a range of items for different ages from newborns to teens to adults who are young at heart. They have branded superhero and Star Wars stuff for boys. For a last minute party, they have a cute selection of premium party favors and paper ware from Meri Meri and other brands. For the 2 year old boy, I found cute simple wooden puzzles depicting animals driving different construction vehicles. For the 3 year old girl, a great coloring book with cute cartoons of snacks and sweet treats and got a stacking rainbow heart colored crayon set. Complementary gift wrapping is simple and elegant. Brown paper with colored ribbons. Nicely designed gift tags and bags with the store logo. But I was super tempted to buy one sheet of Meri Meri gift wrapping paper - so cute and modern - for myself. I have two young kids and will definitely take them back here for a small treat!

Really great store with personal service! I was helping a friend declutter baby clothes and was…read moresuper happy to find a local shop where you can easily sell them for cash (Zelle transfer) or store credit. It was a super simple process where I just brought what I had (Quince and Kendi outfits) and the owner let me know on the spot what I could get for them. If you're looking for kids and baby clothes, the selection is great as the brands are higher-end, but affordable. Whether you're a first-time parent to a newborn or your kids are getting grown up, I would say make this a first stop before looking online. They sell toys and accessories as well. There's paid street parking or free parking in the neighborhoods. This is a fantastic small business to support and shop at!

A really awesome little, locally owned toy shop in one of the busier parts of Venice. There is a…read moretiny parking lot on the side of the building, but there's only room enough for one or two cars, so street parking will be your easiest option. The attendant behind the counter was very nice and they do have a good selection of toys. I would say the selection is a bit limited in terms of size, but we are still able to find some really good items and were especially happy to see that they had some JellyCat items that we did not have. I would suggest if you were in the area.

The people are so nice, and they wrap for free (you specify the occasion and you can add the recipient's name to make it extra special).

Really cute baby store right on Main Street in Santa Monica. My husband and I came in here when I…read morewas still pregnant to review a few things that we had been eyeing for our registry in real life. Everything they carry is very luxe, high end brands and most of the materials seemed to be organic. The sales person was really nice and answered all of our questions. They also have a decent stroller selection that was really high end. She didn't know as much about car seats and stroller compatibility but was still very patient and nice. I'm excited to keep shopping here as our son grows up.

I have been looking forward to going to this store since before I was pregnant. Now being 16 weeks…read morepregnant, I made it a point to visit when I was in town. I walked in and the sales woman was helping the only other customer in the store. She never once acknowledged my presence in the 15mins I stood there with my hands full of items. Never a "hello", "I'll be right with you", or "let me know if you need anything". Even when I was standing at the cash register wanting to pay, she never turned her attention from this other man. All of my excitement was gone... I put my items down and left. And of course that wasn't acknowledged either. I'm extremely sad and disappointed. Luckily there are other amazing baby stores on this street so I was able to find the cutest things - and they were HAPPY to assist me!

It was so much fun to look around and discover new toys, games, stuffed animals, and dolls and nice when we got something new. I think it's a wonderful childhood experience to peruse a toy store and I'm glad that Tom's Toys is around to continue the tradition. Fun to look around and shop here. What an AWESOME toy store! Very clean. It is much bigger inside than it looks from the outside. Lots of toys from great brands to choose from for all ages and a great variety. Legos, teddy bears, dolls, hot wheels etc. I think they may have it all! Came in here to buy a gift. I got the cutest, age-appropriate stuffed animal at such a great value. Prices in this store are very reasonable and comparable to online prices and sometimes even better if there's a sale. Plus, love supporting small, local businesses. Customer service was awesome. So helpful and kind. Pointed me in the direction of what I came in for. They even offered to wrap my gift for me. Metered parking and garage parking close by. In a walkable area with other shops and restaurants.
