Dear Friends,

It’s with a mix of gratitude and bittersweet emotion that I share some news: after many wonderful years, our time at Alakazam Toys is coming to a close. We’ve loved being part of this community and sharing in so many moments of joy, curiosity, and play.

In a world that can often feel challenging, I’ve always believed in the power of small moments that spark wonder, laughter, and connection. That kind of joy is healing, it’s the medicine we all need in dark times. I can honestly say that my time owning the store has been one of the hardest - and very best - things I’ve ever done.

To celebrate everything we’ve built together, our closing sale begins today. This is a chance to find your favorite toys, games, and treasures at special prices while supplies last. We hope these items continue to bring delight and inspire little moments of joy in your homes. 

Everything in the store beginning today is 30% off, and we will continue to discount over the coming weeks. I expect things to move fairly quickly so don’t sleep on this. (It might be a great time to grab some things for holidays and birthdays, if you’re that kind of planner.) The discount will automatically apply, no need for a code. If you’re shopping online, the discount will show up in your cart.

Thank you for welcoming us into your lives, for your support, and for being part of this journey. We will always cherish the memories we’ve made together.

With high fives and heartfelt gratitude,
Ellen + Alakazam
