I always get great advice for birthday gifts for my own kids as well as their friends’ birthdays here. They have a lot of educational toys, which I like, and all the other things too in that little shop.

The team is so knowledgeable and helpful. I needed ideas for gifts for children of two different ages and I spoke with them on the phone and they put a number of wonderful options aside.
For its relatively small (manageable!) space, Boing has an incredible variety of toys for many ages. Yet it feels spacious and it's easy to find what you are looking for or see what is available. Everything is super high quality and appealing. It took willpower to restrain myself from buying many more items.
