G.Willikers Albany

I have purchased numerous baby and child gifts here over a few decades. Kevin, the manager, is an absolute expert on all matters of toys and more. I return for the quality and unique stock. I rely on their gift wrapping. I have had 100% success with children and parents when I give them gifts from G. Willikers. Talk about 5 star experiences.

We live within walking distance and I love coming here with my toddler. We are a Montessori for life skills and Waldorf for play family, so most of our toys have been ordered from small makers and German wooden toy companies, but we always enjoy coming in and seeing what the selection is and have purchased some nice coloring mats and stuffies here. The staff is usually very friendly and love interacting with the kids who come in. The prices are decent for the types of toys. Being an open-ended toy household, I do wish there were a few more of those types of toys, but I realize this is niche and the space is pretty small. I have contemplated Schleich animals for our water table and mud kitchen and they usually have a very nice selection in the back left corner!

I would recommend anyone with small children to go to this place. The Gentlemen working there could not be more helpful and kind. They have a great selection of toys that you do not see at the big box stores.

This store turned me into a kid again! If your looking for a great toy they have too many to choose from! Wonderful, warm and service is impeccable!

Great shop, very knowledgeable staff that can tell you about everything on the shelves, great atmosphere, highly recommended for those toys that will stand out apart from their generic counterparts in the big box stores. Only for the coolest of the cool 🌬❄
