You know that big toy store in New York City? The one where Tom Hanks was stepping on the piano keys in the movie "Big"? I've been there. It was really cool. FAO Shwatrz. That iconic toy store in New York City is now closed.
But this little beautiful store in Kensington Calgary is even more special in my opinion. Here you can find such a beautiful gift for a little one that you care about. I especially liked the multi lingual wooden playing blocks, inflatable Bozo the clown punching doll, and gorgeous toy train sets. It's difficult to contain your inner-child-excitement while walking through all the games, toys, memories of your childhood. I only wish the store was bigger!
I am a fan and collector of Russian nesting dolls, matryoshka's. I like to collect them from around the world. And this store has beautiful ones from Russia. They have a large one as you walk in for $900!
I bought two from here and the girl who helped me wrapped them up beautifully in brown boxes with beautiful ribbon. This is an extraordinary toy shop; it is gorgeous and I highly recommend you check it out if wanting to find a special gift.
