Halikids

I was walking with my toddler in the Public Gardens when it started to sprinkle and I looked for a place to wait out the rain. We settled on Halikids and I’m so glad we did! A great selection of mom and baby items, and of course toys. My little one loved playing with some of the items that had been set out– an easel, train table, kitchen– and the owner encouraged him to try some of the ride on toys as well. She told me her philosophy was that anything within reach was fine for kid customers to play with while mom shopped… a policy my 2 year old fully approves of. We will come back!

What an awesome store for kids, moms and moms to be! I loved wandering through here checking out all the cool toys and baby supplies. They have an adorable selection of clothes, even Hunter boots for kids. They also carry strollers, bumbos, and those hip bamboo baby blankets. I love everything about this place and yes they do registries!

Halikids is a great addition to the Spring Garden road area. I’m now entering my late 20’s and am finding that almost every person I know has, is having, or is soon having a baby! I have a feeling that having the perfect kids store just up the street is going to come in handy for me.
As someone who doesn’t know a great deal about kids, Halikids makes shopping for kids fun! There is so much to choose from and they have a variety of options for any different age range.
After being snowed in for a day I needed a quick gift idea for a 3 and 2 year old. Not only was the staff member working SUPER helpful in suggesting gift ideas but she also informed me that they offered complimentary gift wrapping! With less than an hour to spare before heading to the party, I was super relieved to have someone handle that task for me (while I went to Humani-​T next door for a treat).
Needless to say, I’ll definitely be back. Perfect gift ideas + reasonable prices + complimentary gift wrapping + convenient location = best store to help make me the favorite Auntie :)

I popped in today with a friend while out getting a jump start on some holiday shopping.
What a neat little store! Everything was well laid out, the way the displays were set up made it easy to see everything. I particularly liked that the store wasn’t all jammed and cramped where you had to shimmy to avoid taking out a display or another shopper. They also had toys that I had as a kid, which was super fun! A stroll down memory lane, anyone?
And the service was great too! I didn’t catch his name but he was super fun! He totally played along with our shenanigans. My friend and I tend to create a (fun) disturbance where ever we go, and he just rolled with it!
This is a great little shop worth checking out if you’re on the hunt for something fun for the small humans in your life!

I recently stopped into Halikids to pick up a gift for a first birthday party, and it was a great downtown shopping experience. The service was amazing, and I didn’t have to trek out to Dartmouth Crossing — I had plenty of options to choose from.
I like how the store is laid out, it made it very easy for me to find the right kids of gifts, and then carefully assess each one until I’d picked what I wanted. The store employees offered help a couple of times, informed me of a sale, but didn’t hover. They even let me stash the heavy bag of a couple bottles of wine I’d previously purchased behind the counter to make my browsing easier.
They then did a beautiful gift wrapping job, in really cute kid-​themed paper, saving me a trip to the stationary store. If there was a cost for that, it was minimal, because I didn’t notice my final total being higher than the price of the toy.
