HomBoms, a neighborhood store with typical toy store fare, also offers telephone orders, free gift-wrapping, and free delivery (from 56th to 96th Streets, East River to Fifth Avenue).
If you have not been to Hom Bombs in a while, you are mising out on all the new renovations and space that they have done since last summer. More toys, a wonderful games section - very helpful staff as always. It's a gem on the Upper East Side for any parent. Also of note they have a great kids craft section - one of the best I've found.
I've never found much fabulous gifts for girls older than 5, the store is so cramped and BOXES everywhere! Especially in the small section where you want to look - and can't! (nobody says anything, they just look at you like 'what's the problem?') The kids that work there expect you to think their comments are funny, which are actually very distasteful to customers. Bad experience overall, will NEVER shop there again.
Hom Boms is a great toy store and so nice for the neighborhood. There are a lot of staff that really know what the kids like and want to help. THe only problem is that it is tough with a stroller. Great policy on delivery and friendly staff.
