Two Nelson-area online stores hold grand opening at local cafe

Bumblebee Toys and Jilly bo Billy are excited to announce their joint grand opening event, Saturday, August 14, at the Frog Peak café! Balloon animals, face painting, a kids fashion show, a special interactive kids theatrical show, door prizes and a huge $750 grand prize giveaway are planned!

Janet is the mother of 6-year-old Ryder and 1-year-old Jersey. She lives in rural Nelson in an off-grid eco home in the bush. She spends her free time snowboarding, wakeboarding and enjoying her family. So, what’s she doing with an online store? She herself appreciates a bargain.

Sabrina is a busy mother of two young children. She started Bumblebee Toys out of the aspiration to have beautiful playthings that encourage imagination and nourish the senses. With some Waldorf influence, she also likes to include other toys that are high quality, European or North American made, and have long play value. Her store also has a strong emphasis on eco-friendly toys that are not only incredibly fun, but also environmentally responsible. She carries a wide range of these products.

In Sabrina’s words: “Every product we carry has been carefully considered and hand-selected to reflect our values and what we ourselves as parents would expect to find in our dream toy store.”

As a parent, she was always wishing there was a wonderful place that had all the hard-to-find, fabulous and unique toys under one roof. Well, now it’s here.
