Love Child
Shop Owens & Co.'s brand-new keiki section
Toy crazes. You. Never really got along.
1996: Tickle Me Elmo failed to tickle your fancy.
1998: Furby, a wide-eyed owl monstrosity, gave you nightmares fur years.
2009: Tiny squeaking hamster robots? Just bad Zhu Zhu.
This year, you've finally got something to go crazy for. Behold, Owens & Co.'s brand-new keiki section, a bright, colorful display filled with unique children's toys, accessories and must-haves from local and mainland designers.
Pop in and peruse thoughtfully chosen items, like a vividly-illustrated Around the World with Mouk sticker book, a Paper Doll Parade notecard set, handmade floral oilcloth pencil cases by Lucy Blair and adorable, locally-made Punky Pals bunny dolls.
