How to use our site

Our online shop displays a representative selection of our toy stock and will be updated at intervals over the course of each month. The site has been designed with ease of use in mind.

Just use these six icons to navigate your way around the shop and make your purchase(s).

. . . .

 

'site map' and 'back to shop'

.

These display an alphabetical list of all the toy categories represented in the shop eg 'novelty toys'. Some of these are then divided into sub-categories eg ' wind-up'.

Click on the categories of interest to you and a description, price (in both US$ and UK£) and small photograph of each toy in that category will appear.

If you would like to see a larger picture, simply click on the image and one will load.

Please note that the dollar prices are approximate and are for guidance only as they will be subject to exchange rate fluctuations. However, we do offer customers based in the US the facility of paying in US$ (see 'Remittance Terms' on the 'about the shop' page for further details).

The total amount, including postage and packing, payable in US$ will be emailed to you once we have received your order.

'search for a toy'

This very useful search facility enables you to search both titles and descriptions for the types of toys in which you are interested.

You can search either by manufacturer eg Minic, or by category eg composition doll, or by price. Searching by price can be particularly useful if you are looking for a budget present or stocking filler.

You can search by either currency (£ or $); please enter the amount thus: currency symbol followed by the amount followed by a decimal point and two zeros eg £22.00; $33.00. The results will be displayed with links to the specified product.
