Funky Planet Toys and Gifts is a St. Louis Area Toy Store and Board Game Store in Alton, Illinois. It’s one of the many fun things to do with kids in the Riverbend.

What's New in June 2022?

I've been wanting to make this post for a while, but shipping delays on shelf brackets was slowing me down. Now I'm ready!

First off, we now have a dedicated sticker rack! Putting stickers in a gondola was a really shabby use of space. We also added some Puffy Stickers.

Cute.

The former sticker gondola now houses loose stickers, all of our novelty pens, kawaii otaku stuff, and a bunch of odds and ends. We broke our loose stickers up into more categories too.

We now have a bunch of Smencils and Smens too.

We found a cute and affordable animal figurine company several months ago and now we finally have space to order them. So stay tuned. In the meantime, a bunch of Airzooka boxes are in their place.

Gumby and Pokey are here too.

We restocked a lot of our STEM stuff. The new Owl Pellets in particular have been very popular.

Owl Pellets are "Made in America" 😎

We're going to be on FOX 2 St. Louis today as a part of a segment covering some of Alton's downtown businesses! This was either of our's first TV appearance. Sage was a champ, but I was nervous as all get-up.

Exciting Stuff.

Lastly, our baby is due at the end of the month, so at some point we'll be closed for a while. Sage will be out for a while, but I'll try to return as soon as possible. I don't know how long we'll be gone, or if we'll do decreased hours for a bit, or what; but just be aware! I'll be keeping Google Maps and social media up-to-date.

Needless to say, we're both very excited.
