Who We Are
Five Little Monkeys is very much a family owned and run business. My mother (Anna Hobbet) and I (Stephanie Sala) own Five Little Monkeys together. Yet we are not the only monkeys involved in making Five Little Monkeys a fun, unique place to shop. The whole extended family is involved in many different ways. For instance, my brother initiated this web-site; my grandmother sewed our monkey mascot costume; my dad created our logo and is our graphic artist; my sisters help out with gift wrapping; my husband and step father have installed shelves and done countless errands; my cousin and step mother babysit; my grandpa stood in for Santa while the real thing was busy at his workshop on the North Pole; my daughter, siblings, nieces and nephews are all toy testers and always have good advice. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I think you get the idea.
What We Do
At Five Little Monkeys we strive to offer you a unique selection of quality toys and gifts in a fun and frie ndly atmosphere. Most of the store is organized around themes such as fairies, pirates, dinosaurs, bath time, science/nature, magic, for starters. But we also have some favorite brands too, such as Groovy Girls, Calico Critters, LEGO, Breyer horses, Corolle dolls, Thomas Wooden Railway, Whoozit, and Creativity for Kids, to name a few.
