Iconic New York City toy store FAO Schwarz is bringing some of its most popular holiday gift ideas online with a new partnership with Amazon.
The so-called “World’s Greatest Toy Store” announced their first-ever storefront on Amazon back in September, and the curated collection of children’s gifts is now officially open to shop, just in time for the holidays.
Shoppers no longer have to make their way to the store’s Rockefeller Plaza flagship in Manhattan to shop FAO Schwarz toys and merch. As a press release notes, the new Amazon storefront “brings the spirit of FAO Schwarz to shoppers’ fingertips, offering an extraordinary assortment of unique toys and gifts, from timeless favorites to new discoveries.”
