Featured Items 8/25/10-
Hello again! This week we have endeavored to put together some completely bizarre stuff for you! You may find your mind has leaked out your ears as a result of how incredibly weird some of this stuff is but try to keep it together, we've got a lot to get through here. A special request has been made to put the Baby Dino Rings up on the site and so we did just that! Also we were recently out of stock on the treasured Pregnant Lady Keychain, a disaster that has been remedied this week! As for the inflatable tongue, just how could you say "no!", it's just the kind of thing that might get you out of a sticky situation. The Yodeling Pickle wasn't a difficult choice to make, you can easily see how your day may be improved by such an item. Until next time friends!
HELLO KITTY fantastic marvelous happy sunshine DAY!
Once upon a time, last weekend, we were visited by our beloved Hello Kitty. She was very patient and also polite enough to pose for photos with her fans. We are posting some of the photos here but you will be able to see the majority on our Flickr page! Also most of Friday's photos can be viewed on our professional photographers page here! Thanks everyone for stopping by to say "HI!" and thanks to DirtyJerz for taking sweet photos of everyone!
Hello Kitty Meet and Greet!
Get ready to meet Hello Kitty in person! Hello Kitty will be visiting Toy Joy from 4 - 6pm on Friday 8/20, and 2 - 4pm on Sunday 8/22! She looks forward to meeting you! This will be a great opportunity for photos and to try out some special Hello Kitty refreshments!
Our Featured Items-
Looks like we've got some neat new items this week! An interesting variety of science kits and some recycled plastic infant toys! Also to relieve that back-to-school stress we've added a neat little gadget called the "head massager"!
You're the BEST!!!
We had such a great time last night at our 2nd Annual Art Show! Thanks for coming out and really rocking it. We're excited and sorry about how packed the USAA ended up! We had planned on using the outdoor space but resolved to move everything inside after the forecast called for thunderstorms. We had a much larger turnout than we could have even anticipated! We were so pleased that we already have our best and brightest minds working out how to make the 3rd Annual Toy Joy Art Show even more spectacular. So again, we really appreciate all the fans showing up and having a great time!
Toy Joy would also like to thank our sponsors for last night's excellent event. We could not have had nearly as much fun without you! Thank you for all that you provided. Obviously it went over very well since we were left without any leftovers. If your reading this and wondering exactly where all the goodies came from? See the list below! -
Sugar Mommas Cupcakes (tiny cupcakes), Tom's Tabooley (falafel and humus), Maine Root Beer (a keg of root beer), Good Pop, KVRX (provided us with excellent promotion), Sticker Giant (printed us some most fantastic stickers)
Sanctuary Printshop (the live printing got rained out but the t-shirts you brought were awesome), Edge of Imagination Station (stop-motion animation booth)
Thanks again everybody, and see you all again next year!
