Our Story
From Small Town Dreams to Timeless Treasures
Born from a mother’s search for quality toys, Little Tots Treasures brings unique, sustainable joy to families across Australia.
Our Journey
As a new mum living in a small country town, I found it impossible to find long-lasting, educational and sustainable toys for my daughter. With the nearest major town being several hours away I still struggled to find the products I was looking for, which is definitely NOT the "throwaway" items found in the big department stores.
I was looking for something more unique and timeless.
From Passion to Purpose
Discovering demand for high-quality, timeless toys at markets.
I spent countless hours researching products that met my high standards for quality and affordability. As my passion for these products grew, I decided to test the market and see if others shared the same desire for well-crafted, high-quality toys. After several years selling mainly wooden toys and puzzles at local markets, I realized there was strong demand. Many parents faced the same challenge—finding toys that were durable, affordable, and unique.
LTT GREW FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
That was when Little Tots Treasures became official and took the plunge in 2012 and opened a "very little" bricks & mortar store in Goondiwindi, Queensland. Since then I have expanded my range of brands and moved twice more into a larger shop. At present we have dozens of quality brands and thousands of lines, all hand-picked by myself and my team. Always with an emphasis on quality, price and brand behind the products.
ONLINE CONVENIENCE
After several years of only selling locally, I knew that the way forward was definitely online. I had so many travellers pass through asking, "do you have a website?".
It was time. Times are changing and many parents/grandparents, aunts/uncles and friends are so time poor that I decided to bring my beautiful store into the world of online. I post all around Australia with the satisfaction of knowing that we bring so much joy to many "little people" with our endless range of gorgeous products.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Today I employ two staff members, both local mothers that share my enthusiasm to grow our range of quality brands and give our customers the very best customer service.
Thanks to our local community and their continuing support my dream has become a reality and my vision will continue to grow into the household name for all parents and grandparents of young children. As a thank you, I regularly make donations to community organisations to help raise much-needed funds.
