Jennifer and Collin, owners of 1 Smart Noodle, 5380 N. Mesa, El Paso’s Educational Toy Store, offer the following birthday gift buying suggestions from their years of experience guiding their customers.  FIRST, chose a toy that has learning value.  Novelty, pink and blue plastic junk will loose its appeal very quickly.  An age appropriate toy or game will engage a child who is sure to play with it over and over.  Parents will recognize that you have put time and effort into selecting their child’s gift. Many times this method has generated additional sales for us, because parents come into the store motivated by favor their children show the educational toys they’ve received form 1 Smart Noodle.  Gift wrap rather than gift bag.  Market research has shown that gift wrapped gifts are 30% more likely to be positively received than gift presented in some other form.  Trusting the manufactures age range suggestion.  While they are often correct, many times the age range is set to high, so that relying solely on that range will result in you buying something that might fail to challenge and engage a child.  If you are unsure, seek the advice of specialty toy store owner for proper guidance. 1 Smart Noodle can be reached at 915 584-8583.
