I’m not going to lie to you. My youngsters as well as I spent 90 minutes in Target yesterday, as well as all we purchased was toilet paper as well as tissue. I went there since it was raining, I needed those two items, as well as I believed we might squander a great hour not touching the holiday decorations. as well as we did. (I did not purchase anything that wasn’t on our list, so a round of applause please.)
We didn’t even hit the toy aisle, since if we did, well exactly how would we ever leave?
So now I want to remind myself that we’ve had just as great a time as well as spent just as long in a few of our regional mother as well as pop toy stores. They bring brands as well as styles that the huge box stores don’t, as well as I appreciate that. They make our buying destinations fun as well as interesting, as well as without them, we’d have only strip malls. So this is just a bit plug for us to keep in mind the mother as well as pop toy stores when we do our holiday shopping.
Cute mobile, right? Not from infants R Us. No ma’am.
I may curse their prices, however I don’t want to lose them in my town. So I pledge to spend some dollars next month with my preferred specialty toy retailers. Please join me as well as shop local!
