Review of Reach and Teach

Located on a street filled with restaurants, cafes and salons, it's easy to miss this place. We stumbled upon it by chance, thanks to their very interesting mechanical window display and I'm so glad we did. It has a very unique selection of toys, games and cute gifts and knickknacks from all over the world. It is also a bookstore with a cozy reading area at the back. Though the collection is not huge, there are very interesting picks and many of them have handwritten notes describing what's special about the book. There's also a little book trading corner by the reading area. And the best part is that everything is sourced fair trade with the central theme being peace and sustainability. A whiff of fresh air in this era of online shopping and retail giants. Highly recommended!
