The last time I went there, I was rather disappointed to see that they were selling "Name a Star" gift certificates, although to be fair, they did put a disclaimer on it. But that's about it--it is a novelty/gift/toy shop.
I love browsing there (and besides laughing at their scopes range) and I'd imagine lots of kids would. If I had such a store when I was a kid I'd be in heaven--so much for the "nerdy" ones to indulge themselves with. I bet there will be some great educational toys that would be great stocking stuffers, compared to what you'd find in general toy stores.
Just don't ask about scopes. It'll steam your clams! Lost count of how many times newbies have returned the scopes and went to their local astronomy shop instead after weeks of frustration, and peeps from the local astronomy clubs love going there to wind up the salespeople by asking about scopes. (Naughty, naughty!)
