This small toy store is our first stop whenever we need gifts for kids, as it has perhaps the finest selection of wooden, educational and fun items in the country. From traditional toys, puzzles and puppets to more recent creations, there’s something to delight everyone, and all without cartoon characters, flashing lights, moulded plastic or batteries. After more than 20 years in the business the owner - a linguist, teacher and all-round enthusiast - has a good feel for what her customers want, even if they’re not sure themselves, so be sure to ask if you need suggestions for a specific age. Strongly recommended.
