Since the winter holiday shopping season has officially started three days ago, I’d thought I’d post pictures of stuff I’ve seen lately on the store shelves. I took these photos mainly to show some of my friends on social media who would be especially interested in these products.
First, here are some photos I shot at Target over the past month or so. Target is selling the 3Doodler along with the DoodleBlock Kit.
Target has a LEGO aisle filled with all kinds of LEGO kits for all ages.
Last year American Girl came out with a line of multiracial 14 inch dolls known as Wellie Wishers, which cost $60 each. Target is now selling a line of multiracial 14 inch dolls known as Glitter Girls for $20 each.
Target also sells a line of 3-foot tall dolls based on various Disney characters.
You know Christmas is coming soon when you start seeing special gingerbread spice cereal like this.
Target has been selling a line of STEM toys, kits, and games for makers of all ages. You can now make a variety of things including LEGO stop-motion animation, piñatas, video games, drones, Raspberry Pi computers, and more. Below are just a few of them.
This is probably the most unique and off-beat product I found at Target: A Funko Pop! vinyl toy based on the late painter and television show host Bob Ross.
I also found some Hot Wheels toy cars that seemed to be made with Baby Boomers in mind. How else can you explain cars based on The Beatles’ film A Hard Day’s Night and Mad magazine.
Recently a new Guitar Center store opened up in Laurel, Maryland so I decided to check it out.
I saw these special edition Cordoba acoustic guitars for adults and children that are tie-in products to the Disney/Pixar movie Coco, which was recently released. (I haven’t seen it yet. All I know that it’s based on the Mexican El Día de los Muertos/Day of the Dead holiday, which happened earlier this month, and which also explains the skull motif on these guitars.)
Last, but not least, are a few of the photos I took when I made my last trip to a local Five Below store.
Not too long ago I learned about the existence of this locally-owned business that specializes in antique toys known as The Toy Exchange. I finally got around to visiting it myself for the first time when I realized that it was located not too far from my therapist’s office so I decided to combine trips by going to that store before my therapy appointment.
That store was packed full of vintage toys, dolls, games, and similar items (some of which dated as far back as the 1950’s). Every shelf space was literally so crammed with toys that I could’ve spent hours just looking over each toy in its inventory (which rapidly changes because they sell online as well).
I took a few photos but, to be honest, this store is better viewed in person. But at least the photos give you an idea of what that store is like.
As I was walking from the store to my parked car (I had gone to the store on my way to my next therapy session) I noticed that, despite the high heat and high humidity that day, it was a very beautiful day complete with blue skies and fluffy white clouds. I couldn’t resist taking this last photo of the Wheaton skyline.
