Where do you find quality birthday presents for kids? Alphabet Moon in Davis is cool but I want some other options in Sacramento.<br><br>
I'm not looking for $150.00 play house, more like unique art stuff, play clothes, and not made in China. ;-)

oompa.com has wonderful wooden & cloth toys. I really love them & they have a great variety of toys for all ages. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile">

If you do decide to go to Davis, check out Aesop's Room (222 D St.), too. It has a lot of natural/Waldorf type toys and is run by a homeschooler <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile">

What about the waldorf store on Fair Oaks Blvd. Also University Art on the corner of J and 26th st. They have all kinds of cool stuff for kids.

This store, The Second Wave, which was the toy store and thrift shop to benefit the Sac Waldorf School, closed a few months ago. The Rudolf Steiner College bookstore has taken over the toy sales and has a decent selection. Also, there's <a href="http://http//www.atoygarden.com/" target="_blank">A Toy Garden</a>, which is run by Sonja, a Sac Waldorf Mom. She lives very close to the school and you can order online and call her to arrange pickup so you don't have to pay shipping. It's a great way to support a local WAHM mama!<br>
Also, Goore's has a small but good selection of Haba toys.
