A Few of our Favourite Things...  Stocking Stuffer Edition!

11/28/2012

There's less than a month until Christmas and it's time to start thinking about stocking stuffers!  We've compiled a list of our favourite stocking stuffers.  All under $10, too!

For kids!

Picture
Minifigures are a great stocking stuffer idea!  Lego minifigures are always popular with Lego lovers of any age.  Playmobil figures are separated into female and male figures, and Filly Princess figures have a sweet little pony and stickers in every package.  Prices range from $2.99-$3.99.

Picture
We love Engraving Art but it's a tad big for most stockings.  These mini Engraving Art kits are a fantastic price ($2.99), and there's a variety of different things to make.  Scratch a keychain, some, stickers, a bookmark, or a door hanger with the enclosed engraving tool.  

Picture
Beanie Boos and Beanie Ballz have been very popular all year and are perfect for stuffing stockings ($4.99).

Picture
Sticky Mosaics singles are easy and fun to do.  They come in a wide range of themes like robots, trucks, animals, sports, and sparkly princesses.  Perfect for the 4-7 year old on your list ($7.99).

For anyone! Adults too :)

Picture
These fluffy pens are girly, fun, and princesses of all ages will appreciate finding  one in their stocking ($4.99-$5.99).

We also have a large selection of pretty Pink Poppy jewelry and hair accessories ($3.99-$9.99).   

Picture
Perfect for the Lego fans on your list, Lego erasers, sharpeners ($5.99) and Star Wars Lego pens in a variety of characters ($9.99). Judging by the reactions in the store the adults are just as excited as the kids for these! 

Picture
Who doesn't love to indulge their sweet tooth during the holidays?  We have a large selection of old fashioned candy like giant lollipops and big jawbreakers.  Fudge and Pop Rocks too! (.25-$3.99)

For babies!

Filling the littlest ones' stocking is always difficult.  It's hard to find things safe for babies that will fit in a stocking.  Here's some of our favourite things to fill stockings for babies!
Picture
Lamaze has a variety of high contrast rattles and small toys safest for the littlest ones on your list.  The Bend & Squeak Penguin is one of our very favourite things.  Easy for small hands to grasp and get noise out of, and super cute, too! ($9.99)

Picture
These wooden toys will fit into a stocking perfectly.  The mini bead mazes ($6.99) are pretty much endless entertainment, and the wooden snakes ($3.99) are seriously fun to play with and manipulate.  

Picture
Tommy Toot ($9.99) is a perfect first whistle, easy to get sound out of and a pleasant low tone.  How about a rubber duckie for the tub ($5.99)? Or our most popular teething toy a teether ball ($6.99)?  Or maybe make some noise with animal jingle bells or bead shakers ($6.99-$9.99).

Picture
These Tolo First Friends ($10.99) click, squeak, and move.  Chunky enough for small hands to easily manipulate and lots of fun!    

Coming soon!  Our holiday gift guide!

Floods, Invite Night... what a week!

This week has been quite the week!  We opened the Hart store on Monday morning to some of our ceiling drenched and falling down around us.  We discovered just how disgusting wet ceiling tiles are, and spent the day closed and mopping up.  Fortunately, the damage was minimal all things considered.  It also resulted in our Chicken Little Sale (a few items with slightly soggy packaging are greatly reduced!).  

Picture
Wednesday and Thursday we had our annual Invite Night.  For us, Invite Night always seems like the "official" start to the Christmas season.  Thursday in College Heights was crazy busy!  It was somewhat chaotic, a lot of fun, and we very much appreciate our customers' patience!  

Picture
Finally, we're having a silent auction for one of our Thomas train tables and a generous box of engines too (easily over $1000 value).  Bidding closes at 5 p.m. on November 19th.  Proceeds will be donated to the Child Development Centre.  Phone bids are welcome too!

We are incredibly excited to FINALLY have a new website.  There’s a lot going on around the store as we get ready for Christmas.  Our annual Invitation Night is coming up next week (Nov. 7 in the Hart, Nov. 8 in College Heights) and you should have our new catalogue and your invitation in the mail.  If you aren’t on our mailing list pop by either store for your invitation! 

Our plan is to use this space to share with you some of the cool things we come across in the toy business.  Not only do we stumble across some awesome products we have some pretty amazing customers that are a constant source of inspiration and we think it’s kind of selfish to keep it to ourselves.  

I’ve noticed quite a few newcomers to Prince George coming into the store and if you’re finding us for the first time, Welcome!  We hope to see you in the store soon!
