Reach and Teach Books, Toys, and Gifts

"I love this store so much! Whether it's presents for kids / family members or a new book for me, their store has it all. I love the personal attention and recommendations. I'll say, " My kid has liked these books/games any recommendations for what's next?" One or two questions later and we have 5 amazing options. I always walk out with new delicious fair trade chocolate, green products and fun games for the whole family."

"Big secret, I sometimes go there when I simply want to feel better (for example, I'm bummed about politics or world news). Craig and Derrick are gentle, kind people and, after visiting their shop and absorbing the relaxing vibes, I go home feeling gentler and kinder, too.Plus, I always find something perfect for a special gift. If I'm stumped, they have fabulous suggestions. Their shop is magic!"

"Just walking into this store is a treat. Walking around inside the welcoming shop is a wonder. Such an amazing range of fascinating, uplifting, and fun items. *Updated Feb 2024 - The new space in San Carlos expands on the "wonder" part of what I wrote earlier. This shop is unique, as in truly one of a kind. (Also adding photos from the San Carlos location, taken in August 2023.)"

"This wonderful local store is a 10! I first found Reach snd Teach on Palm Ave. as a refill store. Wanting to reduce my plastic purchases. Reach snd Teach then grew to a new location on 25th Ave. Adding more books, recycled plastic toys, Fair Trade items from around the world. Now, Reach and Teach has grown again to a new location in San Carlos. More of everything including an extensive LGBTQ+ books and life lessons section. The toys and books are fantastic. I’ve purchased gifts for friends and family at Reach and Teach. It is definitely my go to store to “shop small”."

"Really great local gift, toy store, and eco supplies store. We come here most often to refill our laundry detergent ($0.12 / oz) but also love it for birthday gifts for our daughter’s friends. Loads of good STEM gifts, puzzles, games, books, etc. The owners are very knowledgeable about all of their products and are happy to make age appropriate recommendations."
