What classic & wooden toy catalogs do you recommend?

[zen_bliss]

Holiday shopping approaches, and i know there must be some companies dedicated to old fashioned toys (by which i mean non-electronic, non-talking, not heavily plastic, etc.) any you can recommend? specifically, i'd like some that mail catalogs. thanks in advance!

A long time favorite. My mom bought us things from them, and now I will be buying ds things from them. They have branched out a bit since I was a kid, but still carry great stuff.

And btw I am so glad you asked this question! I LOVE stores like these! (Thanks for all the links, Jessica!)

WOW!
thank you so much!

back to basics (basictoys.com) was the one i had in mind. oh, i love the playstore site. last time we were in palo alto, we scurried by playstore... DH asked if i wanted to go in, but i knew it would be a downward vortex. too bad they don't do a print catalog! i'm trying to 're-direct' the family away from disney and leapfrog...

Chinaberry (www.chinaberry.com I assume) is mostly books but also has that flavor.
