ToyBox Treasures began with a birthday request—and a grandmother determined to find the perfect gift.
When the owner’s granddaughter asked for a stuffed horse, a routine shopping trip turned into frustration. The options at big-box stores felt disposable and cheap—nothing worthy of becoming a keepsake. That moment sparked a realization: families were missing a true toy store centered on imagination, quality and play that lasts.
From that search grew ToyBox Treasures, a locally owned specialty toy store focused on thoughtful gifts and timeless fun.
Not a typical toy store
Located in Magnolia and owned by a local family, ToyBox Treasures was created as a place for shoppers of all ages to find something special. While children are at the heart of the store, the inventory spans beyond one age group.
The shop sells toys and gifts for babies, toddlers, kids and tweens, along with items that teens and adults enjoy, too. Parents often browse as long as their children, discovering nostalgic pieces, creative kits and small novelty items for desks or gift add-ons.
It’s a space for families to shop together—without being limited to a single aisle or age range.
Toys you won’t see everywhere
Instead of stocking mass-produced trends, ToyBox Treasures focuses on variety and distinction. The store offers a wide mix of products that encourage hands-on play, creativity and curiosity, including:
- Wooden and classic toys
- Plush animals and specialty dolls
- STEM and science-based kits
- Arts and crafts supplies
- Retro-inspired and nostalgic toys
Customers often comment on the well-balanced selection, with options across interests and ages, making it easy for families to find quality gifts.
Toys made to last
At ToyBox Treasures, every toy is chosen for quality and longevity. These pieces are built to endure years of play, spark imagination and become family keepsakes.
“Many of our products are generational pieces,” owner Traci Kilman said. “You buy this toy for your child, and when they’re done, it goes to the attic and then to your grandchild one day.”
Unlike mass-produced toys at big-box stores, which wear out quickly or lose their charm, these selected items encourage meaningful play, creativity and skill-building—all while lasting longer than the average toy. Despite their high-quality construction, pricing remains approachable, giving families keepsake-level toys without a luxury price tag.
Making gift shopping simple
ToyBox Treasures is popular for birthdays and special occasions. The store offers birthday wish buckets, allowing children to create in-store wish lists ahead of celebrations. Guests can shop directly from the list, and gifts are wrapped on-site.
Complimentary gift wrapping is available on qualifying purchases, eliminating the extra stop and expense of gift giving.
