Cool Gifts for Kids

If you're looking for unique children's gifts, visit the shops in museums or art galleries. They have all kinds of educational toys, games, books and accessories. It's better than shopping at Toys R Us!

The Museum of Modern Art has a terrific store with all sorts of fascinating stuff. Visit their website at http://www.momastore.org/.

Also take a look at the wide variety of merchandise from the New York Public Library: http://www.thelibraryshop.org/. The library is also home to the original Winnie-the-Pooh.

Another great site is Washington D.C.'s Library of Congress. It's a little heavy on Americana, but they offer things that you won't find anywhere else.

Finally, the Art Gallery of Ontario has an interesting shop. You can shop online at http://shop.ago.net/; however selection is limited. It's best to shop in person.
