We love doodlebug - they have an amazing array of toys, games, arts & craft supplies and oodles of other things that don't seem categorizable. There is a studio space where you can paint pottery, knit, scrapbook, do a mosaic or whatever! We've used the private room for a party and hear there is a new adult-only space opening soon! You must check out this unique treasure in the middle of Marin - the staff is genuinely nice and the feeling is stimulating to say the least. We like to relax on Friday nights after dinner with a little painting - amazing family time - (they are open 'til 9 PM on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays) - check it out!
Pros: unique, always have something special to do (or select as a gift)
Cons: parking in front can be full - though there is lots if you just go down the side street!
