Giddy Goat Toys

Giddy Goat Toys is an adorable shop in Didsbury that carries good quality toys. Games, puzzles, lego, baby items, travel toys, they really do seem to have something for everyone at all price ranges. They have a great website, as well, that delivers throughout the UK.
To top it all off, the owner is just fantastic. Lovely and super helpful. :)
Shop local and skip the big box stores!

If I’m planning on spoiling my two baby nephews, I nearly always head to this traditional toyshop. Packed with puppets, wooden cars, Brio, kites and craft materials, it’s the perfect place to pick up something unusual.
Rumpus is in a completely different league to the Early Learning Centre or Toys R Us, so don’t expect to pick up something cheap and cheerful. However, you can be sure that whatever you do buy will be long lasting and of the highest quality.

A very cute shop with lots of nice looking toys that make a nice change from the usual Toys R us and Early Learning Centre fodder. Definitely a place to go if you have a gift to buy for a toddler. Helpful shop assistants too — they have a website and I got a prompt reply from an email enquiry stating that she would order in some stock that they had run out of. Oh, AND they have Pingu birthday cards. Ace!

five star toy shop. i am always in here getting little things for my daughter. the wooden toys are world class. i got my little girl a wooden dolls house with all the accessories and it is the best toy i have ever bought her. i will also be making a trip here to grab a few christmas presents. the speciality toys are just brilliant. i haghly recommend this lovely shop.

This is a great shop, there is something for everyone’s budget. I have found that their wooden toys really do stand the test of time — even with a boisterous 2 year old. The staff are so friendly that you dont mind parting with your hard earned. I like buying presents from here as I know from experience everyone buys the same gifts and at this place you get something differnt

I wish all toy shops were like this! Fantastic, friendly staff, great selection of quality toys (lots of great wooden ones), books, gifts and cards. There’s a play table for the children and it’s well laid out both for finding things by age and also getting round with a pram. and a good price range in stock. Great for a special Birthday present that’s not run of the mill but sure to become a treasured favourite.

This place was recently recommend by the Independent newspaper as one of the best toy shops in the country and it really isn’t hard to see why.
First off the staff are extremely affable, helpful and patient: it’s sometimes a pain in the rear rump to find that perfect gift for children, especially for special Christening events (it definitely helped us on a recent Christening!).
To be honest, most of the hard work is done for you in Rumpus. An array of quality gifts, whether they are books, toys or learning tools you can pretty much guarantee you’ll find something here.
Rumpus stocks some wonderful wooden toys (some cool if somewhat pricey wooden bikes) and with the expiration of Daisy and Tom in central Manchester thankfully this store provides many of the items said store provided. It isn’t always cheap by any means but that’s mainly down to the type of goods they sell (perfect for special occasions).
The items run up to children aged 8 years and start pretty much from the moment they pop out of the ovenI say get the little blighters in the baby gym from a couple of days old get an early start in life.
Other goods stocked include puppets; jigsaws; kites; really nice pop up books; games; science kits and a fine set of birthday cards.
This is set back just off the high street but worth a perusal should you be in the look out for children’s presents.
