Growing up as kid in Jackson before the era of Toys R Us and Wal-Mart, I would always get so excited to see a gift wrapped with the distinctive safari paper from the Toy House. After moving away for several years and finally returning to Jackson, I returned to the Toy House as an adult and immediately remembered why I had thought it was the most magical place in the world when I was a kid. Instead of the same standard toys you see at every big box store, the selection at the Toy House is ASTOUNDING. I was also thrilled at the Baby section, which had a great selection of real (meaning doesn't require assembly) baby furniture that the Toy House would deliver for free. Babys R Us cannot compete with that! At any rate, kudos to the family who runs the Toy House for keeping it the place of dreams.
