Thanks to Pippa for sending this info round!
Lollipop calls itself “a boutique for children in shanghai”, the word boutique says it all… they don’t accept credit cards which only means you should come with a very full wallet if you want to have some fun!
They stock yummy beautiful trendy things, one of those stores where you go “oh that’s cute” at everything, whether you really “need” any of it is irrelevant I suppose..
They sell cloth diapers (Bambino Mio and Fuzzibunz), really cool stick-unstick art for the wall, really nice cards and these great lunch boxes and plates.
It’s a great place to go to for gifts.
Recently found out about this from a friend and I was a little annoyed at myself for not having known about it before. It’s a really great place for crawling and walking babies and older kids, really clean and has lots of fun things like a balloon pen, a maze, a mary go around with fluffy animals, a ball pitt, a water mattress, and a few other crazy things. It’s a chain and they have several branches across town. Here is the website with the list of locations (only in Chinese).
I go to the Huaihai lu Isetan one (5th Floor) which is just round the corner from us.
The cost is 30rmb per time or a 100rmb card valid one year which allows you to go 5 times. The idea of taking Theo to play in a shopping mall makes me a bit sad and is one of the reasons why I’m looking at leaving Shanghai in the near future but it’s a good option for the winter and when you are bored of the house.
This is a store which has everything you need for children’s parties. I haven’t been there in person yet but it has been recommended by a friend!
