I actually heard about this on an interview over the CBC maybe a week ago, but considering the season and if you're like me and have 5 kids and no idea what to get for any of them, and you're just bored and despondent over the thought of another assault on the big corporate toy stores, you might want to check out Neighbourhood Toy Stores Across North America, a loose federation of independent toy shops who have banded together to provide a new and national online service. Think globally. Shop locally.
