A great friend of mine brought me here last month as I was about to leave to go back home, and she showed me some of the fidget toys she had bought for herself. I instantly had to have a few of them and fortunately, they had them in stock. There is something so amazing about picking up what you think you wish to purchase and be able to hold that item in your hand and the Toy Tree is one such place to have this connection. The young lady who helped us was amazing and super friendly and helpful. This has the feel of a store that has been in someone's family line for a long time, although this is not based on fact. What I can say is factual, is this is an amazing store for the young and young at heart.

I was impressed that they had 6 and 7-inch mini stretcher bars in stock! They have a very large wall with tons of thread options which was awesome! Took off a star because I had to wait a good bit at the register before someone acknowledged or helped me. I'm also used to going into a LNS and having someone ask if I need any help kitting my canvas/have any questions, which didn't happen here.

I genuinely hate leaving negative reviews for small businesses because I know how hard it is to run…read moreone. But after giving this store a second chance, I feel parents deserve to know what to expect. A few weeks ago, I stopped in with my kids, who were excited to browse all of the adorable toys. Almost immediately, we noticed signs throughout the store emphasizing that this was essentially "not a toy store, but a place of business." The message came across as "children should be seen and not heard," which felt incredibly ironic for a business that exclusively sells children's toys. My kids are generally very well-behaved in stores. They know they aren't allowed to run, yell, or play with merchandise, and they certainly weren't being destructive. Like most children, though, they naturally picked up a few items that were displayed at their eye level. They were quickly reprimanded by both employees behind the counter for "looking with their hands." I chalked it up to a bad day. We left with a wish list because we don't typically buy toys unless our kids earn them. Today (8/12), my son had finally earned enough to come back and purchase something from his list. Unfortunately, the experience was even worse. While quietly browsing, both he and my eight-year-old daughter were once again met with visible annoyance and corrected for touching merchandise. If your business caters to children, it's unrealistic to expect them to browse exactly like adults. There's a huge difference between destructive behavior and a curious child gently picking up an item. Instead of making families feel welcome, the atmosphere made us feel like we were inconveniencing the staff simply by bringing children into...a children's store. Needless to say, we won't be returning. There are plenty of wonderful local businesses that manage to protect their inventory while still treating families with kindness and respect. May I offer one suggestion? If touching merchandise is truly such a problem, consider adding a small play table or designated hands-on area to redirect little ones. Or perhaps rethink the branding altogether. Ironically, my children receive a warmer welcome at the antique store down the street--where everything is actually breakable. Parents are your customer base. If you want their business, making both them and their children feel welcome seems like a good place to start.

No matter the size of your hands they will roll over your hand to the wrist. At 5$ a piece it's worth finding the colors you like. Such fun! I bought 6 of these roll-on bracelets. Worth every penny! They have an area dedicated to children only. That's awesome. This visit I only saw adults. This is one of the most unique stores in Historic McKinney. They carry handmade, Fair Trade items from over 40 countries around the world. Every Item in the store benefits artisans directly. I find this respectful and liberating! Fair Trade decreases individuals dependency on aid in a dignified and long-lasting way. Shops like this help end cycles of poverty not only for families, often entire communities. It gives developing regions a respectful alternative that often preserves cultural crafts and traditions. This type of shop is a win-win for all. They offer home decor, gifts, women's accessories, and kids items. There is no service! You get to peruse the shop on your own! Great idea! No salesperson trying to talk to you while you shop.

The store is beautifully curated, and everything is displayed with so much care that I honestly didn't want to leave. I originally stopped in to pick up gifts, and one of my favorite touches was that they gift wrapped everything for me. It made me feel special as a customer, but it also saved me the extra stop of having to buy gift bags, paper, or tissue. Such a thoughtful service and honestly a brilliant touch. The staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. I could easily spend an hour in here just browsing, discovering little treasures, and enjoying all of the amazing scents throughout the store. They also have unique jewelry, keychains, and other beautiful gifts that make it easy to find something for almost anyone. I went in and found your books, and I also visited the clearance section and found the most wonderful chocolate for giftgiving. Everything was a great price. I don't remember if they offer military discount or not, but I will definitely ask next time. The location was convenient, parking was easy with the nearby garage, and even my children enjoyed walking through the store with me. This wasn't just a shopping trip. It felt like an experience. I'll definitely be back.
