If you want to shop local this season, look no further than Harper & Skyler’s Toys & Sweets. This independent toy store is Charlotte’s go-to for treats, candy boards, toys, and accessories for newborns to teens. You’ll find a few big brands like Lego and Hasbro, but the majority of their merchandise is a curated mix of trendy and unique toys from lesser known manufacturers and local vendors. They’ve also got a solid selection of Taylor Swift merch. Below, owner Dan Weiss shares his top eight picks for the 2024 holiday season. (styles and sizes subject to availability)
