In the days before modern toy factories became commonplace, children were entertained with handmade dolls and embroidery. Today, the Handicraft & Gift Shop on Vaci Street is a toy collector’s dream come true. From small, six inch dolls to set on the dressing table to full sized dolls that are designed for display, this is one of the best places in town to find unique souvenirs to take home.https://bima-shop.hr/proizvodi/igracke/

The store is a shrine to non-electronic games and prides itself on its vast selection, which includes everything from traditional board games to jigsaw puzzles, playing cards, outdoor items and novelties. The staff are happy to show you around and the store regularly hosts events such as Magic: The Gathering meetups and Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, which can be fun for the entire family.
