Staff Recommendations

From board games, sensory toys, and accessories, check out some of our staff favourites! 

Amy's Favourites

Glitter Axolotl

The axolotl is one of my favourite squishy toys! It's firm and durable, has a nice texture, is easy to clean, and is of course adorable! 

I only learned recently that real axolotls (not toys ;) can regenerate lost limbs- how wild is that??

Azul

Azul is a colourful tile game that I would describe as light strategy. It's easy to learn, fun to play, and there are different strategies you can try to score the most points. 

I prefer to play it with 2 players max, but you can play with up to 4 people. 

Feline Scholars

I first saw this figurine while on holiday and had to get it! It embodies everything that I love- cats, books, and art! I have it on display on my bookshelf and it looks brilliant there. 

Now that we have our own shop, I wanted to sell figurines too- for me they are art, beauty ... and whimsy too! Maybe others can find joy in them like I do :)

Pure Affection Unicorns

This is by far one of my favourite Nemesis Now figurines. The detail is amazing, it is the perfect size, amazing quality, and the blue diamonds add the most beautiful final touch. 

I keep telling Lorenzo if it doesn't sell, he needs to buy it for me (how can I tag him here ;) 

Egyptian Pyramid Nag Champa Incense Sticks

One of my favourite things to do is steal a few quiet moments whenever I can. I have two kids, 1 dog, 3 cats, and a Lorenzo, so finding quiet can be hard. In the evening, I light some incense and read.


Satya is my favourite incense brand, and the Egyptian Pyramid is exactly what I need to help me relax during my stolen moments. 

Lorenzo's Favourites

HeroQuest

A forever classic. Getting ambushed by a Wandering Monster never gets old!

Bloomburrow

This set is so cute, there's all sort of critter tribes fighting each others and... there's otters! Come on, otters! 🦦🦦🦦

Reign of Jafar

I'm new to Lorcana, and these Illuminer's Troves look like a great starting point: I'm personally getting one for each set to get a feeling of them all, and I've been told that even many established players buy a Trove every time a new set comes out. 


They're basically the equivalent of Bundles in Magic.

Maltose Planet Stress Ball

Love all sort of sensory toys, and these are among my favourites so far because they're extremely durable. 


I like to squash them very hard, and despite doing that my Neptune still hasn't exploded after months!

The Little Frog's Guide to Self-Care

These cards are so cute! I got the accompanying book for Amy a few months ago, and I believe everyone could benefit from it one way or another 😁


Hootle

So, we have a steampunk owl. Do I really have to explain why I love this guy?


Fruit Ninja Plush

Ok so not only this pineapple 🍍 is soft and cute, but it makes sounds when you push it.


I know they are supposed to sound like slashing sounds, being this branded Fruit Ninja, but we agreed that they are more like toilets flushing.


It's so fun and nonsensical, like a plushie of a pineapple that sounds like flushing the toilet. A must-have in every household.
