Every town/city needs a play store. This place is an attraction to bring your family/friends of all different ages. Both me and my 5 year old daughter go multiple times a year and leave with something cool on every visit.

This review is too long over due. Play is one of my absolute favorite shops on Main Street Beacon. For every birthday and holiday it’s my go-to for gifts for everyone if my life from the kiddos to funny cards for my dad. It’s always really hard to not add fun treats for myself every trip. The offerings are always rotating so there is something fresh to check out every few weeks, and the staff is stellar and kind!

In my opinion, this whimsical shop is worth the day trip to Beacon from NYC! I got the cutest lil kit cat clock (she has a pearl necklace and lashes???), mushroom blind box, gigantic googly eyes and more. I also appreciated the sustainable packaging that sought to encourage employment in the global south. Easily spent an hour here and I can’t wait to come back!My one request is to please stock Sonny Angels :-)

This is the kind of place that has those nostalgic types of toys. The goofy gags, the Balsawood propeller airplanes, unique refrigerator, magnets, greeting cards, and there were some really impressive mechanical toys, although they're not really a toy, more of a conversation starter. See the photos. It's fun to just look around even if you don't buy anything, this trip.

This place is amazing. They have all the iconic toys from my childhood. Awesome place to get a gift or something fun for yourself. They also wrap up your purchase in a cute handmade bag. Super queer friendly and will for sure go back.

Frankly, I had no idea what to expect here. My son & I walked in due to the cute name (and we happened to be in Beacon on errands from New Paltz). The shop has a bunch of eclectic toys and some throwbacks (Etch a Sketch, Hungry, Hungry Hippos, miscellaneous odds and ends).Per Sam, the owner, the location is their 2nd, they're looking for a 3rd) I got a bit nostalgic seeing Hungry, Hungry Hippos, and HAD TO buy it for my son. The shop feels like a 1980s/1990s mom-and-pop style shop, which fits the motif of Beacon beautifully.I've already encouraged them to explore New Paltz and add to the community. It'd only be logical given the whimsical & lighthearted nature of the space.Much love to y'all

Don't miss this treasure trove of classic hard to find gift items mixed with new contemporary gift items from blind boxes to crystal pendants.I was blown away at all the rich variety of items and such cool selections that Play Toys & Gifts feels like equal parts Gift Store and Gift Museum.Very friendly staff, never pushy but super informative.
