Treetop Toys

Right in the heart of Melrose, this is the kind of shop that quietly derails your “just a quick browse” plan. Treetop Toys is packed with beautifully made, thoughtful toys that lean heavily into wooden, creative, and open-ended play, with shelves full of things you don’t see everywhere else.

It’s less flashing lights, more imagination doing the heavy lifting. Think puzzles, crafts, small-world play, and gifts that feel like they’ll actually last beyond the holiday suitcase stage. There’s also a lovely mix of children’s clothing and smaller finds, so it works whether you’re hunting for a proper present or just something to justify popping in.

Perfect for those Melrose wanders where you dip in and out of independent shops, and suddenly your dog has become part of a very serious toy selection process.
