You’ll pay more at Mastermind than most toy stores but it is sooooo refreshing to be in a boutique feeling toy store that reminds me of a smaller version of F.A.O. Schwartz in the U.S. the variety is good and they have lots of educational and creative toys. This is not where you come for video games. Playmobil fans in your life already know about this store for sure. If you’re looking for make believe, dress up, puppets, or educational toy/gifts this should definitely be on your list! The customer service here is what you would hope for from a boutique toy store; attentive and knowledgeable. See you soon!

This little gem just opened right across the avenue from Toys R’ Us in Terra Losa and I think they’ll be fierce competition for the popular store. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in bright beautiful displays, original toys at decent prices and spectacular service.(Thank you, Deb and Victoria. I had a blast meeting you.) I want to say that I wish I’d discovered it earlier, but I think they’re having the Grand Opening this weekend. My Christmas shopping for the kids on my list is done. I bought a gigantic piano mat – the kind you step on for different sounds – for $ 39,99, a pirate den playhouse on sale for $ 27.99, and two cupcake gift boxes for $ 11.99 each. If anyone asks? I want one of the dollhouses. Or maybe one of the castles you can build and color and hide in. Oh yeah! And they offer free gift wrapping, and support children’s charities like Global Goodness as well.
