Shaffer's Candy & Toys

This is not just a nostalgic fun store. Sure, it’s got the candy and toys that were popular in the good ol’ days. But more so, this is where you can find the classics --- the toys and sweets that have lasted for a reason. Is there any kid, to this day, that can resist a cap gun, obnoxious as they are?

Is there any adult who wouldn’t be tempted to engage in a paddleboard challenge? Those and many more basic, timeless, battery- and memory-card- free toys can be found here. You can also find here some well-made beach toys from modern manufacturer Melissa and Doug. If you’re more interested in pleasing the sweet tooth, there are buckets of old-fashioned candy sold by the pound. Or you can buy home-made fudge, soft-serve ice cream and Jelly Belly beans. And don’t worry grown-ups: If you tire, you can buy yourself a hand-made walking stick to relieve your burden, or perhaps, for the slighter builds, you could buy yourself one of those kid-size octopus chairs and rest a spell.  This light-hearted store truly has a little bit of everything.  At the very least, you’ll leave with a smile.
