Our store is located in the heart of a quaint downtown square in Hickory, North Carolina. Among classic brick storefronts, you’ll find a bright red awning located above our corner shop. In town, we’re known as the place for innovative gifts and the stuff childhood is made of, and our whimsical store window hints at what you’ll find inside.

From our fun window display to the endless toys and gifts inside, we are here to provide you with a memorable experience. Our sales staff is here to help with everything from picking out the perfect present to registering for your own baby-on-the-way. We’re passionate about the products we carry, and can help you find everything you need for even the pickiest of friends. Kids will love our “movie theater” area in the front of the store, and moms will love the chance to look around and shop. And when it comes time to pay, check out our fish tank built right in the counter!

We strive to make your shopping experience hassle free and fun! Services we offer include:
- Signature gift wrap
- Baby registry (online and in-store)
- Gift Certificates
- Personal Shoppers
