“But what do they like?”

Sometimes that’s all you have to go on when you’re shopping for a kiddo. 😂
Luckily, that’s usually enough for us.

Have a builder? We’ve got ideas.
A little artist who always needs another project? Absolutely.
A reader who loves looking through books over and over again? Yep.
An animal lover? Ohhhh, we can work with that. 💜

Every kiddo has something that makes their eyes light up, and finding a gift that fits them is so much more fun than grabbing just anything off the shelf.

So if you’re standing there thinking, “I have NO idea what to get this kid...”

Come see us.

Tell us their age, what they’re into and what you’d like to spend. We’ll help you find something good. 💚

Birthday party tomorrow and you still need a gift? 🎈

We’ve got you.
Tell us who you’re shopping for and a little about what they love. Give us your budget. We’ll help you find something they’ll be excited to open.

And then comes one of the best parts...
We’ll wrap it for FREE. 🎁

That means you can walk into Whimzy needing a gift and walk back out with it ready to bring to the party.

No extra stop for wrapping paper. No gift bag hunt. No trying to remember if you have tissue paper somewhere at home. 😉

ust a really great gift, wrapped and ready to go.

Last-minute birthday gifts are kind of our thing. 💜💚

September at Whimzy 💜

A month of little cars with BIG personalities, giant coloring pages, puzzles that make you think, craft projects you can’t wait to start and, of course, a little Jellycat cuteness mixed in.

These are just a few of the things we loved sharing with you this month.
And that’s one of our favorite parts of Whimzy. There is always something new to discover, something that makes us think of a certain kiddo and something we can’t wait to show you when you walk through the door. 💚

Now we want to hear from you!

What was your favorite Whimzy find in September? Or what do you want us to show you more of in October? 👇

Little cars. BIG personalities. And not a battery in sight. 🙌

If you need a toy that keeps busy little hands playing without screens, batteries or complicated pieces, meet the WOW! Cars.

They’re sturdy enough for hallway races, living room crashes and the occasional unscheduled flight off the couch. Each vehicle also has its own personality and clever moving features, giving kids everything they need to make up stories, plan rescues and create a whole world right on the rug.

Easy to clean, tough enough for toddlers and no tiny screwdriver required. That’s what we call a parenting win. 🏁

Which little driver in your life would love one of these?

🎃 Jellycat has officially entered its spooky era.

The Halloween crew has taken over the front of Whimzy, and they are every bit as cute in person as you think they are. Possibly worse. 🦇

Pumpkins, bats, ghosts, dragons, vampires, wizards and all kinds of wonderfully weird little creatures are ready to be squeezed, hugged and properly obsessed over.

Come meet the spooky gang while they’re all still together! Which one would your kiddo choose…or which one are you claiming for yourself? 👻🦇🐈‍⬛

Ahoy, parents and grandparents! Talk Like a Pirate Day has sailed into Whimzy, and we found three easy ways to keep your little buccaneers busy. 🏴‍☠️

Got a potty-training pirate? Even Pirates P**p brings plenty of giggles to an everyday milestone.

Need something easy for restaurants, road trips or waiting rooms? The Pirate Stickers are ready to turn any blank page into a treasure map.

Have a kiddo who would rather race across the high seas? Pirate Wheels is ready for rescues, getaways and some very serious living-room-floor adventures.

No ship required. Just pick your treasure and let their imaginations set sail!

Which one would your little pirate choose: the book, the stickers or the car? ⚓️

Fall has a funny way of bringing cozy weekends…and a whole lot of “What can I do now?” 🍂

So we pulled together three easy wins for the season:
🎃 Dot-by-Letter for quiet time, creative breaks or a little screen-free reset.

🎨 Paint a Pumpkin for the kid who wants a fall project without asking you to carve another actual pumpkin.

🧡 Oooky Jack O Lantern for snuggling, decorating and becoming someone’s new favorite cozy friend.

One for busy hands. One for big imaginations. One for the kiddo who would happily keep a pumpkin on their bed all year.

Which one would your child or grandchild pick first?

Grandparents are basically magic.

They have snacks when Mom said no snacks. They’ll read the same book 14 times without complaining. They think every picture their grandkid draws belongs in a museum. And somehow, the rules at Grandma and Grandpa’s house are just a *little* different. 😂

But they’re also the people who show up.

For the games. The birthdays. The school programs. The ordinary Tuesdays. And all those little moments that probably don’t seem like a big deal to our kids right now…but someday, they will be.

Happy Grandparents Day to all the Grandmas, Grandpas, Nanas, Papas and every other special grandparent who makes childhood just a little more magical. 💜💚

And because I LOVE hearing these stories…what’s something your kids’ grandparents do that they’ll remember forever?

Bonus points if it’s something you would NEVER let them get away with at home. 😂
