What kind of toy store can you go to in Charlotte, where you're looking for a weenie-dog purse for a little girl, and find it? Find it along with Playmobil, Squinkies and a toy for every age group imaginable!
I like how friendly the staff are, and in-touch with the hot toy trends. Prices are about right/standard for a toy store...but the selection is really cool. You can get tiny charms, or rubber pigs...board games and costumes and Hello Kitty.
It's also a big plus for the shop to be locally owned-- it's a nice change from the big box toy stores, or WalMarts of the world.
