Why Wry Baby Loves The Milky Way:
It’s called the Milky Way and it’s the ultimate booby supply store. How could you NOT like it!? Also, Wooten and Adam (owners) are the BESTEST! When you drop in, tell them Wry Baby says “Hi”!

Wha? Sorry, Paris France a little too far to go for that special gift? Maybe for you, but Wry Baby is sold worldwide and Parisians flock to Fruit Punch to delicately achat our habillement de bébé d’amusement. Fruit Punch’s full name is Le petit bassin de fruit punch (too cute, yes no?) and if you’re ever lucky enough to be strolling down the Rue de Rivoli, stop in and tell Virginie we said, “Bonjour, mon ami!”.

Locally Known For:
“We are known for being a crazy mixture of Pee Wee’s Playhouse, Dr. Seuss, Day of the Dead, and the best carnival you’ve ever been to.  We carry toys and gifts you just can’t find any old place, with a heavy lean towards small companies.  We want everyone that walks through the door to have a great time and we encourage people-not just kids- to play.  You can walk out with a gift for literally everyone you know- as long as they have a sense of humor and lots of money.  Just kidding.  About the sense of humor.”

3 Favorite Non-Baby Gifts in the Shop:
1) 52 RVA- a deck of cards with 52 of the best things to do in Richmond.  All entries were twittered by local people that know RVA the best.  2) Michelle Obama shopping bag 3) Swine Flu plush

Favorite Wry Baby Thing:
“My  favorite Wry Baby item has to be the Attack of the 50 Ft Baby Blocks- it’s hysterical to see wee ones play with them… almost like your own Godzilla movie!  And I have to say the “Ask me about my compost pile” organic Snapsuit is a hoot.”

Why Wry Baby Loves World of Mirth:
Did you see that shot of their signage? Inside World of Mirth is just as special. And it’s wonderfully, hugely stocked with treasures. If you like toys like we do, real toys that don’t tie into movies, real toys that are real fun to play with made by real companies that understand the joy of playtime, World of Mirth is a must see.
