A Unique Easter Basket

Last week we drove to the coast and then up glorious Route 1 to an equally glorious Portsmouth. Ooh, how sweet spring is...

Anyway, I got to thinking with Easter right around the corner that parents, um...er...I mean parents helping the Easter Bunny, might get a little bit creative this year. Why not forego most of the candy that the wee ones already get too much of, and fill their baskets with tiny trinkets and toys that revolve around the Easter holiday and all things it embodies? A basket that will spark those malleable imaginations to a full blown bonfire! Get inside G. Willikers! for origami, aliens, knights, kites and Easter trinkets galore!

This toy store is anyone's escape from reality. If I remember right, my husband was the last one to leave peacefully! I loved the assortment of items under $1, especially the tiny rubber red dragons for $.50! The selection of stuffed animals was unique and the games were some I have never heard of. And beyond the Made in China menagerie found at big box stores, G. Willikers! had so many toys with solid construction you knew they would not crumble after one day of play. Lastly, the store had the best selection of hand puppets I have seen around.

Get into G. Willikers! with no time frame, because any agenda in here will be blown in minutes! Have fun!
