Froggie’s 5 &10

Unleash the inner kid in you and go browse all of their trinkets and treasures. I could probably spend half a day in here just browsing. They have all sorts of fun things to give as gifts… to friends, family or coworkers. Even little stocking stuffers for the holidays… you can come here and stock up way in advance. This place has been here forever too, so when I’m in the area I always stop in and see what new things they have in store. And yes, not just toys for the kiddos! They have fun novelty items and gag gifts for big kids/​adults as well. Come here and I guarantee you will leave happy and with a smile on your face.

This is the best gift shop ever. I shopped here for 15 years and always found new and exciting retro toys to give to any person for any holiday. It was my favorite store the whole time I was growing up, from 6 – 21 years old. Then I applied to work here and I got the job. It is the most spectacular position I have ever had and I am compensated generously. I am never under pressure of any kind. To this day it is still, my favorite place to buy a gift. Long live Froggies 5&10.

I have been shopping at Froggies since I moved here in 1986. At first it was for toys for my three year old, then stocking stuffers. Now I do an Advent calendar for her (she’s 33) and her fiancée and I take one of the little drawers with me from the calendar and select tiny gifts for each day of Advent. I am especially fond of the historic Pez dispenser section and the old time candy section. I love this place.
Froggie’s is THE PLACE for the child in you, for the children in your life, and to awaken the child within each of your friends and family.

Yes… It is expensive, but I much rather take my baby here than toys-​r-​us. They have a wonderful book selection and toys for all ages– including gag gifts for teens/​adults. If you’re in the area, it’s worth stopping in. It’s also a good place to take your kids on a rainy day or as a special treat. I just wouldn’t recommend it if you’re rushing to get a gift ten minutes before a party… It’s also too expensive to be buying birthday gifts for kids you’re not related to. If you’re walking with a stroller, leave it outside or in the car. The store is too small to navigate with a stroller.

This place is great! Want funky toys? Science themed sets? Sea monkeys? They have it here! It’s well organized and all the employees are helpful and nice. I spent a long time perusing the shelves of fun toys and games. It’s conveniently attached to a store that sells plush animals, stickers, books, and baby toys, so between the two sections you can find something for any age.

I loooove this store. Anytime I have friends visit we always find ourselves on the street this store sits on. And some how always end up walking in.
It is filled with anything and everything you can think of from your childhood. From the old Pez dispensers to the Dr. Seuss books.
I come here around Christmas for stocking stuffers. They have toys as small as whistles and toys as large as a Smart Car.
My last purchase was a book entitled «Go-​Dog-​Go». It reminded me of my childhood. They also have The Little Golden Books and it looks like they carry just about the whole series. That is really cool.
I gave one less star because of the pricing. I feel it is super expensive. I would buy more in this store if it were more affordable.

Very cool store, but to be honest it is more of a window shopping experience for me than a place where I would buy anything. Prices are a bit high, but some of the product is very unique. The store associate was great showing my kids some toys without seeming to be trying to sell anything.

Froggies is a really great toy store for all ages. They have a really wide selection that covers all age groups.
For adults, they have lots of silly things like stick on mustaches, denture shaped ice cube trays, PEZ, and board games.
For kids, they have books, stuffed animals, lunch boxes, knit hats shaped like their favorite animals or animated characters, puzzles, puppets, building blocks, tea sets and activity books.
During my latest visit, I bought a «Paddington Bear» book, for my niece. I love that they carry classic children’s books like «Curious George», «Dr. Seuss,» and «Paddington Bear» as well as new favorites like «When You Give a Mouse a Cookie.»
It’s not a huge store but you can really lose track of time playing with all the toys, reading books and just browsing all the fun things they have on the shelves.
The staff is really nice and they don’t give you a hard time if you hang out for a long time, checking out their selection.

I sometimes forget that Froggie’s is a toy store. That is because as a grown-​ass woman I go in here and completely forget myself, and my age, and wind up walking out two hours later. Sometimes empty-​handed, but always will a full soul. It’s not so much as toy store as it is a time warp to Happiness.
There are «smart» toys for the brainiac kids, and plastic dinosaurs for third graders (and me), and obscure PEZ dispensers. I am especially fond of the «tubes»: Tube o’ Pirates, Tube of Frogs, Tube of Jamestown Settlers, etc. I’ve scattered the contents of tubes across tables for decorations/​party favors at birthday parties, and my adult friends love them. Often times these little figures end up on their work computers.
Whenever I am in need of something «out of the box», Froggie’s delivers. They’ve got cap guns, Cat Butt Air Fresheners, and metal lunch boxes. Items in this store are expensive, so bring your wallet. If you don’t have a wallet, Froggie’s has some great ones you can purchase. If they get a cat butt wallet in stock, y’all need to let me know.

This little toy store is truly a gem in the rough. Almost toy stores are focused on with the newest and latest commercialized cartoon characters, Froggy’s 5&10 focuses on what truly is classic American pop-​culture and has unique and interesting toys for kids of all ages.
I really like their variety of puppets and marionettes as well as small magic trick type of gifts, as well as PVC/​plastic figurines of modern and pop-​culture characters.
One thing they do have which many stores do not, are complete dollhouse sets that you can purchase and build with your own family.
Most of the times I have been in here the staff seems to be somewhat short tempered and doesn’t want to put up with people’s crap however there is a very interesting young gentleman who works there who really enjoys his work and translates that into a very positive experience. Big thumbs up to this guy for enjoying his work and letting it show.
One tip, if you were taking your kids in here for the first time, expect the unexpected. Also expect that you will walk out with something for them as well as something for you.

Lots of neat little odds and ends. This is a fun store to search for a gift in!

I’ve been trying to find a place like «Toy Joy» in Austin and I’ve finally found it after Unilocaling for a while. This toy store is really cute and has a lot of small funny toys that I’m defiantly going to come back for to give out during Christmas. I didn’t buy anything on this trip to Froggie’s but it was fun to look at it none the less.

This is an oasis located in the snooty, Audi driving, conservative, uptown Dallas. It’s almost like this toy store shouldn’t be legal in uptown.
First off, it’s fun. I’m almost positive that’s not allowed in uptown… there are so many weird little things that you wouldn’t normally find at a Toys R Us.
Second, it’s inexpensive. I’m certain that people of uptown Dallas are allergic to that word or it’s just not in their vocabulary.
The staff was way cool and super friendly. I would endure the uptown Dallas for an afternoon if it meant Froggie’s was involved.

I could live in this store.
Lots of flashback toys and items to make you nostalgic (if you’re 40, like me). Otherwise, it’s «that crap my Dad likes.» Anyhow, they have an awesome selection of silly and random crap, most of which I decorate my office at work with.
Staff is great, location is awesome, and contents are 40-year-old-D&D-MMORPG-Redditor-Farker-fapper approved.

Independent toy store with trendy toys, flash back lunch boxes and retro toys to keep the adults entertained. A wide assortment of educational book rounds out the fluff.
Quantity over quality perhaps.

This little store is so much fun! They have fun little toys and things for kids and adults alike! I went in looking for a cute gift for a friend and found a few things I wanted myself… including 2 or 3 which could be new additions to my awesome robot collection!
It reminds me of a shop in Orlando (that has since closed) called Red Marq… Funny cards, neat little toys, totally random things (like a kit of various mustaches — which I LOVE), wind up toys, some collectables (Hello Kitty stuff, Simpsons action figures, Star Wars stuff), gag toys (whoopi cushions, etc.)… just lots of fun! A great place to find a fun, inexpensive birthday present for someone who is a bit wacky! Or a totally unique gift for your favorite 9 yr old!
The adjoining store, Tadpoles, has books and toys for younger kids (like 2−6ish?) in case you need something in that range, too.

i found this great store thanks to Unilocal.i was searching for a special bday card for a special someone. rode my bike on the katy trail to knox on a beautiful day. i did not find a bike rack anywhere near by so i had to lock my bike to a street sign.
theres lots of toys in this store. cool toys, some of them very high end (read not cheap). lots of cards too, for all fun occasions. the staff is friendly and very helpful. i know now where to get cards.
yeah. i still do that. e-​cards are kinda lame.

I love this place. From the offbeat toy selection to the impeccable customer service, Froggies is always a great place to go for a unique birthday present for either kids or adults. Plus they have a huge assortment of «classic» confections. I’m not sure if they have candy cigarettes, but it just seems like they should.
Plus, I like stores with pets and the cats that wander the store are adorable.

If I were a kid, this would be the place I would want to visit every single day of the year.
(Note to self: When I have children, I won’t take them here until they’re 12. Or 20. I just can’t let them know it exists. Their gifts will come from the «mommies-​only» store on Knox.)
I went in looking for rubber duckies (don’t judge) and walked out with a handful of cool stuff. The employees were super duper helpful in finding exactly what I needed — they even called their sister store to check on what they had.
Froggie’s looks like Toy Story’s Buzz Lightyear threw up all over the place. There is stuff EVERYWHERE. Top to bottom. Corner to corner. Stuffed in every cubby space imaginable. If they don’t have it, you don’t need it.
I was literally amazed by how the employees knew exactly where everything was. And it’s not expensive, either… prices were average, but I could definitely see how a grandmother could empty her entire bank account on gifts for the grandkids here.
If you’re looking for a unique gift for a kiddo, skip Toys R Us and open the door to Froggie’s. I promise you, you’ll find at least 6 things you love.

So I was drunk… wait, I’m seeing a trend here again. Maybe not entirely drunk. Either way, I can’t shoot pool sober. Me shooting pool after a couple of beers is just sad. I’m losing. And in a typical fit of frustration I look at my adversary and yell, «YEAH, WELL I’D KICK YOUR ASS AT HOPSCOTCH! TOO BAD THERE’S NO WAY TO PROVE IT.» To which adversary retorted, «We can go to Froggies right now and get a hopscotch set so I can school you at…» You get the idea.
And since deep inside I’m really about 8 years old, the next day I went immediately to Froggies and found said hopscotch set, boxing nuns, Buddha sticky notes, every toy you can imagine that you can’t find in the toy section at Wal Mart – don’t even get me started on that. Wal-​Mart equals much gnashing of teeth.
If you’ve ever been to Toy Joy in Austin, it’s the same idea, little cleaner and smaller. Still best toy shop I’ve found in Dallas proper.
Do NOT go there drunk.
