Everyone plays games. Board games, card games, chess, checkers, Pente, poker...at some point in everyone's life, they play a game or two. At The Wizard's Chest, games are one of the cornerstones of our store. We're proud of the selection that we have, and hope you'll find something that strikes your fancy. No matter your taste, it's a sure bet we've got a game for you.

Playing dress-up has come a long way since we had to rummage through our parents' closets for makeshift disguises. These days, the vast array of costumes and accessories that are availiable make playing dress up fun for all ages. The Wizard's Chest specializes in bringing everyone's "make believe" fantasies to reality by having an amazing selection of all types of costumes. Whether you're looking for something cool right out of the bag, or want to piece together something truly unique, we're the place for your disguise needs.

This is a hard category to describe here, since almost anything you buy under our roof is a sort of fantastic item. But the sort of fantasy gifts we're talking about run the gamut from dragon statuary and whacked out plush purses to the latest in fortune telling gear and silly lunch boxes. As an emporium for the odd, The Wizard's Chest prides itself on its collection of oddities that you'll never find in a department store or mall.

As befits a place called The Wizard's Chest, we are a haven for the mysterious arts of magic. Our bag of tricks ranges from apprentice to master levels, covering everything from wands to cards to sponge balls to more arcane apparatus. We also have a wide range of pyrotechnics, silks, thumbtips, magazines and more.

Remember all the things that made you laugh when you were 13 years old? Well, if your memory is a bit hazy, come see us for a refresher. We have classic gags like the Whoopee Cushion (as well as the modern version, the electronic Fart Machine), dozens and dozens of kitschy keychains, dashboard mounted hula-guys and hula-girls, and even candy along the lines of Pez and Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans.

Magic and science aren't really all that different. To highlight that fact, The Wizard's Chest likes to mix a little science into the magic, and a little magic with our science. Delve into the strange attraction of magnets, explore the night with glow-in-the-dark stars, or explore the many worlds of science with some of our home-based experiment kits. If none of that sounds fun, grab some of our building toys...or get into our selection of spy gear to get the facts yourself!

Skill toys are perhaps one of the things for which The Wizard's Chest has become best known. The category covers all the classics, from juggling gear and yo-yo's to others like spin tops and hacky sacks. Check out our selection, and then get out there and enjoy it!

Great for rainy days and lazy summer afternoons, our selection of arts and crafts kits and books offers plenty of ways to have fun making things. The star of this area is the Klutz books, which are self contained guides for dozens of different projects, often containing everything you'll need to fill the empty hours. The vast scope of our various kits can be intimidating, but the fun that they contain is sure to help build loads of memories.

Everyone loves stuffed animals. But where most stores carry only mundane critters like kitties and puppies, we go in a different direction. Need a stuffed cow or jackalope? Looking for a wizard or witch for your little one to cuddle up with at night? Or maybe you need a dragon fit for the playroom...no matter what, we're the place. With hundreds of stuffed creatures from manufacturers ranging from Aurora to Folkmanis, we're set to help you find that oddball animal to add to the household.

Picking up the pieces is always fun when it comes to our diverse selection of puzzles. From classic hand puzzles and jigsaws to the newest 3-D puzzles and MENSA challenges, you're sure to find something to challenge the family with.

Action figures are one of those things that almost every kid has growing up...and some of us keep on getting them as we get older. Here at The Wizard's Chest, we like to carry some action figures outside the norm. While we don't have G.I. Joe and Star Wars, we do have other fun classics like Blackbeard the Pirate, Jesus, Albino Bowler, and an army of other off-kilter figures to spruce up just about anything.

While we do tend to focus more on games and toys that are powered by imagination and activity, it's impossible to have a toy store that doesn't have at least a few different remote control toys. While the spectrum isn't vast, between the cars, planes, and robots we're sure you'll find something that piques your interest.

Books...they're rectangular and full of words. And sometimes pictures. And though The Wizard's Chest isn't the first place one would think of in regards to the written word, we still have a healthy selection of books covering humor, games, puzzles, and a gajillion other areas of fun. So, flip through our pages and pick out some books to page through in the comfort of your own home.

Planes, trains, and automobiles...this is THE section of the store where everything that gets around can be found. Filled with pre-built and build them yourself rocket kits and launch systems, models, remote control cars and die cast vehicles of all descriptions, there are sure to be at least a few things to spruce up your toybox or desktop...or garage.

Everyone wants to add a little something to the place where they live to make it speak more for themselves, rather than allow it to simply be just another house on the block. The Wizard's Chest can help spruce up any crypt or bedroom with our wide range of accoutrements. Whether it's bats for the belfry, lava lamps to lend a groovy edge to things, or a little something to add a touch of the weird to your decor, weÆre sure to have something for you.

If you can't find the perfect gift at our store, a gift card is a great way to go. If you would like to purchase a card in an amount not found on the website, please give us a call and one of my apprentices will be more than happy to help you.
