Dearest Santa,

If you happen to be swinging through San Francisco and need to do some Christmas shopping, you are in luck. There is a new and very special children's toy store that just opened here in the city. If you are in need of some more creative loot for the kids, check out Paxton Gate's new outpost.

Paxton Gate has been an attraction ever since it opened its doors on Valenica Street in 1992. With curious items ranging from carnivorous plants, taxidermied bride and groom mice to beautiful gold wishbone pendants, Paxton Gate is a place worth a visit. As of November of 2008, the popular shop opened a children's store...


Locates just a few blocks away from their original store, Paxton Gate's shop for children offers vintage toys, science kits, Victorian games, and a charming selection of books. Check out this store before heading to a big (and terrifying) toy store.


Sorry to intervene in your job, Santa as I know you have some years of experience gathering the best toys around. Just thought I would give you a hand with what’s up in SF.


With Holiday Cheer,


Amelia
