Toys Galore by Pat B. at InsiderPages

Located right in the heart of downtown Oak Park, if you love toys or you're a collector, this store will be your nirvana (not the band, the place :) I could easily spend $1,000 here. You'll find classic toys like bobble heads, lunch boxes, wind up dolls, everything from the Stooges, Beatles, Betty Boop, whatever you're looking for, you can pretty much find at Pumpkin Moon. You can find some amazing and unique gifts for family and friends. I have to hide the credit card before I go back othewise I'll be in BIG trouble!

A kitschy, retro toy store for adults and children alike.

In Short
With its antique-looking wooden cabinets and black-and-white checkered floor, this whimsical haven for both experienced and novice collectors is a long way from Toys 'R' Us. The merchandise is fun, and so is the mood. You can't help but enjoy. Dive into an old card catalog filled entirely with plastic goodies priced from 10 cents to $1.50. Scan the room for recognizable characters like Gumby, Betty Boop, Scooby-Doo and Spider-Man on lunchboxes, posters, T-shirts and more.

Great gifts

by Natalie at Citysearch

This store has some great gifts, real and gag gifts, as well as fun little toys. I always find that perfect something. Especially for bachelorette parties, gifts that are fun yet useable. (bath/body products etc)

• Pros: easy parking, great location, good selection
