Magic Box Toys

I feel like this place is a little under the radar, which is crazy because it's amazing! And this is coming from a child-free by choice person. I have found the most unique gifts for my niece and nephew here, and they gift wrap, too! Displays are grouped by theme, so it's easy to find what you're looking for- or get lost in all the fun stuff there is to look at, like I did. I even found a stocking stuffer for my husband, a win! There is also an impressive book selection. And right now, there's a red mailbox outside, where kids can mail letters to Santa. This place is an absolute treasure, DO NOT miss it when you're strolling on Magazine! There's something for everyone! #ThankYouThursday

sold me Hugo(picture attached) and let me pay with cash. If you want to have nice toys go here but if you want to take Hugo from me you will have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

Who doesn't want to stop and take a look at a place that says Magic? We were heading toward my car when I noticed the word magical. The place is filled with toys such as legos, dinosaur, costumes, umbrella, plush toys, trains, blocks, puzzles, books and many more for all kids preference. Friendly staff. They carries so many stuff that it can be a one stop gifts place.

Seriously, the best toy store in NOLA. I always find something fun for the kids (or the adults who act like kids) in my life. Recent purchases include: coloring books (for a my teen niece recovering from surgery), a Saints ball, washable markers (for the younger nieces), NOLA music CD for kids and a pig that shoots balls out of his nose. Yep this visit was part of my annual Magazine-Street-Black-Friday-Shopping-Extravaganza with my Mom.

I don't have children and neither do most of my friends, so I'm really clueless about what kids these days like. A lot of times when I don't know what to get my friends, I'll get them booze or a gift card, but I thought that practice might be frowned upon with children. So it was with much trepidation that I visited Magic Box to find the perfect gift for my cousin. Thankfully, the staff at Magic Box was extremely helpful, not to mention patient with my lack of decisiveness. This is the kind of service that you will not get at certain big box toy stores. Magic Box also has the kind of selection that you will not find in its corporate counterparts. The selection (thankfully) favors the more educational and creative toys, but you will find toys of all types here.Magic Box has a much more extensive website than I would have expected. Most notably, it allows you to browse by toy category and age group. You can also order online via the website, but I haven't personally tried this service. I highly recommend you check out Magic Box, especially if the thought of picking out the perfect toy sends you in a state of panic.

Magic Box is a godsend for all of us with hundreds of birthday parties to attend a year. I all on a Friday, giving them child specifics and a budget along with my cc number, and pickup a beautifully wrapped present a few hours later on my way home from work. What a time saver!Boutique shops like this cost more but you are supporting a local business and it's a convenience. Service here is great as well.

Well I gotta say I've never seen so many employees seem happy to work where they work. Everyone was just so joyful. Maybe it's the Christmas spirit or getting to be Santa's helpers? I don't know but it was a breath of fresh air compared to the big box stores.Their prices are a bit high (I found a tiny doll that I bought at ye random big box for $5 that they had priced for $19) but don't go here for the stuff you'd find at ye random big box, come here for the unique stuff. I found several games I'd never seen before, several building sets that I'd only seen online and a bunch of unique dress up items that my daughters are going to squee over.Mommy notes: Street parking sucks since they are so close to whole foods - combine two trips into one?, store is super tight, play area in back, 16 or under must be accompanied by an adult, super friendly employees!

My kids received gifts shipped today from Magic Box Toys. They were gift wrapped beautifully and packed securely.They received a toy, activity/art/learning book, and a puzzle, all fabulous and unique. The kids were thrilled, and I was impressed by the thoughtful treatment of gift items shipped to us. It was nothing like what I'd expect from mail order - it was a personal touch, even a thousand miles away :)Thanks, Magic Box! You have a new fan in Colorado!

Return policy sucks and do your own homework before you go. Associate (Raven) recommended the wrong size legos to me even though she assured me they were the right size. When I got home and opened the box, they were exactly the size I specifically said I did not it want. When I tried to take them back, she said, sorry, there's nothing I can do. No returns on sale items. This product was not even in the sale section when I bought it. So disappointed.

Charming store with a good collection of games, toys, and puzzles, as well as some other assorted gifts. Great place to find a gift (last minute or not!) for children or any adult who likes puzzles or casual games.
