Classics & Novelties
The "best of the best" from our childhood!
Here is where we keep those amazing little toys that remind us of our childhood. This is also where we keep those we believe might become classics! Do you remember Jacob's Ladder, Magic Goo balloons, crystal sets, super dome poppers, Slinkys and light-up yo-yos?
Having stood the test of time, these toys don't disappoint and simply don't lose appeal over time. They make excellent gifts for both adults looking for a nostalgia hit, or kids who can discover them for the first time.
We really try to find the original brand ... the manufacturer who started the craze. We hunt high and low to bring you the very same item you may have owned as a child, or as close as we can. We also look for toys we believe will become icons for the next generation ... the toys they'll tell their kids about and keep in the "nostalgia box" themselves.
What are the best classic & novelty toys?
Try to find the real McCoy! Sometimes this is not possible, and sometimes our memory doesn’t serve us well. Consider these factors before you buy any classic toys online in Australia.
Authentic or Fake : Plagiarism is the greatest compliment they say … but so often copies and fakes don’t deliver. In a world obsessed with making more for less, corners are cut, materials are compromised … and even worse, our classic toys are made smaller to save money. Look for the original brands, and say a big NO to the cheap toy home-brands that fill the shelves of large retailers.
Safety : We’ve looked after this for you by only offering products that comply with Australian safety standards.
Age Appropriate : It’s very tempting to give your child a toy just like what you had … but wait until they’re ready. Not only will they more likely be able to enjoy it, but they’ll be safer. Resist giving your toddler a bow and arrow set like you had when you were 8 years old!
Be Realistic : We’ve all done it … we’ve given a gift that we treasured as a child … then found the child uninterested. Our memories play tricks on us, so be mindful of your child’s preferences and temperament. Maybe just buy the toy for yourself!
