Fri-yay giveaway to my favourite neighbourhood toy store, Mrs. Tiggy Winkle’s
Posted by andrea tomkins in: Easy ways to make kids happy|Fishbowl patrons|Giveaways and product reviews
Who else is scouting out ideas for Christmas? I live in Westboro, and one of the things I really like to do is walk over to the main street and poke my head in the shops and see what’s shaking. I tend to spend a *lot* of time at Mrs. Tiggywinkle’s*. There’s always something fun and new in store. You’ll find plenty of Christmas/birthday/everyday fun items here, along with that amazing customer service I appreciate so much every time I pop by.
Sidebar: So I just reread the title I chose for this post. I called Tiggy Winkle’s a toy store but I really hope that folks understand that it’s actually so much more! And it’s not just for kids either. There is major amusement to be found for all ages at Mrs. Tiggy Winkle’s. Games, puzzles, collectables… the name of the game here is fun. I dropped by earlier today and there were, ahem, a few things that caught my eye.
I love Exploding Kittens. It’s a very fun game and the artwork cracks me up. There’s an Exploding Kittens puzzle now too! (Puzzles at Christmas are simply THE BEST.)
Card-based games have two things going for them: they’re portable, fun, and you can pull them out any time. (Oops. I guess that’s three things.) This one looks very fun! (I hope my family gets that this is a hint.):
Did you know that Tiggy’s carries a selection of books as well? This would make someone a great gift AND they’d be sure to survive a zombie attack! That’s a big win in my books.
I adore iron-on patches, and so do the teens in my life. Some very cool designs here:
One of the many things I like about Mrs. Tiggy Winkle’s is their dedication to classic toys. We have one of these paddle ball toys. We STILL keep it in the mudroom by the main entrance to our home. I got a LOT of practice when the kids were smaller…. mostly because it always took them so long to get ready in the mornings:
Speaking of the classics:
Hello STUFFIES. I always check to see if they have mini wire fox terriers like Piper. This came pretty close:
And then there are the products you may not expect but heartily believe no child should live without:
But one of the main reasons I love this store is that they have a fantastic sense of humour. I absolutely adore this fuzzy wind-up llama. If this doesn’t make you smile I’m afraid you may be dying a bit on the inside:
