Get ready to shop local! Our favorite independent toy stores in Dallas have passionate employees ready to share their personal recommendations and tons of perks (think: local delivery or curbside pickup, free gift wrapping, and more).
LessYou’ll find loads of toy options and tons of helpful salespeople at The Toy Maven this holiday season. They now have three locations to choose from (a new Dallas location popped up this year), or you can shop via their new website. Not sure what to get? You can narrow your options by age.
You’ll love this spot as it is a local, family-owned business in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex that has been bringing continuous joy into children’s lives for 40 years. They offer complimentary gift wrapping, which definitely comes in handy this time of year.
This chic boutique has a mix of everything from books, toys, and art supplies to apparel—with options, including gender-neutral, for babies through tweens. In fact, the store was created from a love of fashion and seeing happy kids dressed in clothes that make them feel confident and excited to begin each day. The store’s owners pride themselves on sourcing the best quality, natural fabrics and conscientious production from the brands they select.
You’ll be totally impressed by the quality of toys offered at We Are the Missfits. That’s intentional: the products are cultivated to stimulate the brain and encourage self-expression through fashion, art, science, and literature (Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty, anyone?). Sure, they also carry stuff that’s just for fun, but prepare to feel inspired when in-store. If you can’t pop inside, that’s OK. They offer curbside pickup and free delivery within five miles of the store.
CAMP is a toy store and more—known for its totally unique shop-play hybrid experience in its locations across the country. Inside this CAMP store, visitors can take part in rotating themed experiences, kids are encouraged to try out loads of toys they have available, and there’s even a cafe for parents. Every surface is a seamless blend of play and product.
The very reasonably named Toy Store in Snider Plaza offers eco-friendly, STEM-certified, and sustainable play toys for people of all ages. From baby toys to adult puzzles, they have you covered. And if you are super busy (like we know you are), they even offer free delivery within 10 miles.
