Stocking stuffers from a Texas print farm

Stockings are a weird size. Too small for a big dragon. Too important to fill with plastic junk from a bin.

minis fit! poop box
stocking loading plan, to scale (nearly)

I print things that fit. Mini Flexi Dragon keychain, $6, real clip, goes on a backpack the next morning. Genuine Printer Poop collector box, $4, an actual blob from my printers in a little specimen box. People laugh, then they keep it. Party pack of 10 minis, $40, which is one stocking for a kid who wants a whole tiny zoo.

The festive lineup

Bigger presents live in the shop too. Classic Flexi Dragon $18. Crystal Dragon $22. Grand Silk Dragon $45 if someone is being seriously spoiled. I print those at home in Texas. Not a warehouse sticker.

Where Texas families can get them

Order from shop.texastoylab.com and we ship. A parent reviews every real order.

Or come to my stall at the Kids Market Austin Holiday on December 5 at Zach Theatre People's Plaza, 202 S Lamar Blvd, 12 to 3:30 PM. I will have a stocking-stuffer table: minis, keychains, gacha, and a free mini keychain if you tell me you are a friend of the Lab.

If you are hunting toys in Texas or toys in Austin that a kid here actually invented, that is the page and this is the stall.

One grown-up note

Ages 3 and up. Small parts. Safety page has the rest.

I am fast. I am not magic. Well. I am a little magic.

Custom ideas go through the Toy Maker. I check every toy before it prints. Holiday custom orders need time. Do not wait until December 23 and ask for a 15-inch silk dragon by Christmas Eve. Still email early: joseph@texastoylab.com.

See you at Zach Theatre, or in a stocking.
