The clock has started ticking to get that just-right gift for all the little lovies on your list. But what’s the latest, all-around bestest, must-have marvel that will top their greatest heart’s desires?
Fortunately, Wilton’s own Wild Child Toy Store has all the answers and exactly what you’ll need to make every gift the perfect one for the kids on your list. The independent toy store for children from birth to age 12 is conveniently located at 90 Old Ridgefield Rd., right next door to Scoops ice cream shop and to the side of Village Market.
Wild Child’s owner Ariel Friedman — a Wilton mom of two young girls, who has a background in fun fashion and children’s wellness — has stocked the shelves with her expert eye.
The store features a variety of toys, big and small, plus jewelry, crafts and more. Friedman favors stocking items that aren’t likely to be found in other places, products from small vendors with unique stories, as well as classic toys and big-name brands. Shopping locally at Wild Child is convenient and easy and a very personal experience.
Friedman is so excited to bring her recommendations for this season’s must-have holiday gifts and she jumped at the chance to put together this exclusive Wilton Holiday Kids’ Gift Guide for GOOD Morning Wilton.
Psst! Want a secret tip? Friedman also suggests following Wild Child’s Instagram for lots of special promotions leading up to Christmas and Hanukkah.
