You've probably heard the name - T.F. Hippies. And, you might have even driven past Mechanic Street's newest business and noticed its distinctive sign out front. However, until you walk through the doors of Galveston's funkiest,coolest toy store, you're not going to understand the concept that is T.F. Hippies.
But, you'll get it the minute you walk in the door - T.F. Hippies is all about toys, toys for men, women, girls and boys. Definitely not a toy store where toys are seen and not touched, T.F. Hippies' friendly, fun-loving staff encourages customers to play with the toys that fill every inch of the totally hands-on toy store. You'll even find toys hanging from the ceiling!
With a name like T.F. Hippies, of course, you would expect the toy store to have a decidedly '60s decor. Again, T.F. Hippies won't disappoint. From the colorful mural created by Houston artist Kermit Eisenhut to the collection of psychedelic posters and flags on the wall to the hip '60s inspired couch covered with tie-dye pillows, T.F. Hippies has embraced the peace, love, happiness, retro vibe. Even the music playing in the background echoes the by-gone era.
Yet, while the decor will make you smile, it's the toy store's eye-popping collection of toys that literally has something to offer anyone, no matter how sweet or warped their sense of humor is, that has customers returning again and again to T.F. Hippies.
