No basket is complete without toys, and Distinctive Toys and Movies has egg-citing options. Just in for the holiday are Eggbods. These interchangeable windup toys are sure to crack up your kids.
“We ordered Eggbods specifically for Easter,” said manager Anne Mentel. “We have four different kinds including Captain Hardboiled, Eggs Factor, Eggbot and Eggalina Ballerina.”
Add an element of surprise with the shop’s hottest small toys. “Our popular toys are Gogos for boys and Filly Princesses for girls,” said Mentel. “Each one is a surprise, because you don’t know which collectable is inside.”
The possibilities are endless at Distinctive. Stuff your basket with scented pencils, puzzle erasers, lip gloss/pen duos and more without breaking the bunny budget.
