Brilliant Sky Toys & Books Store {Review}

Disclosure:  I received a gift card in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

Have you ever been to a local toy store?  I mean a real local toy store, not a big box department store one.  They are amazing inside and Brilliant Sky Toys & Books is a speciality toy store chain you really need to see in person.  While they do have 15 stores, mostly in the Midwest and East Coast, they are a franchise chain that would make any child (or parent) drool.  I headed to my local Brilliant Sky Toys & Books Store in Deer Park, IL and I could have honestly spent hours in there.  (They also have a location in Lombard, IL for the holiday season!)

So basically not only are you supporting a local business and community but you are getting amazing customer service!  The associates at speciality toy stores just seem to be really passionate about toys and finding the right gift, whereas big box stores just want to move inventory and have so many products that I am sure it is overwhelming.  Now I am not saying Brillant Sky Toys & Books doesn’t have a lot of products, they definitely do, and they do carry all the hot brands like LEGO, Melissa & Doug and so forth, but they do carry so many other great products that would just get lost at a big box store (and that’s if they even carried it.)  I don’t know how to describe it other than Brilliant Sky Toys & Books doesn’t really carry all those plastic character sets from tv shows or cheap made toys, their toys are ones that are unique, won awards and truly inspire creativity!

Brilliant Sky Toys & Books also features all the toys from the 4th Annual Brilliance Awards, which recognizes the top 12 playthings to make finding the perfect holiday gift easier than ever.  These award winner toys are sure to make any child smile and Brilliant Sky Toys & Books carries them along with all their other fabulous and other award winning products!  With prices ranging too from $12.99 to $84.99, the toys are affordable as well!  You can even check out videos from Brilliant Sky Toys & Books featuring the award winning toys!

So back to the Deer Park, IL Brilliant Sky Toys & Books, first let me show you some pictures of the store:

And here is what I was able to buy for just over $150:

I feel like I got my items at a good value, yes they do have sales there as well, plus I had awesome customer service, and I got gifts that are amazing!   I found toys and books that I probably wouldn’t have found elsewhere and I feel like I found gifts that won’t be duplicated (I hate when my kids get the same toys and I have to return them.)  Oh and did I mention just how amazing and knowledgable the staff is?  Amazing – yes its worth mentioning twice!

Whether you are shopping on your own for a gift (they even offer free gift wrap service) or taking a child for a reward or just because, Brilliant Sky Toys & Books is a store that won’t disappoint!  Shopping local toy stores are really an amazing experience overall!
