Trending Toys of 2014

Switching to the world of kids decor, our extremely popular A-Cup Sailboats mobile held strong as our #1 selling baby mobile. The USA's recent America's Cup win helped put this sophisticated kids decor item back on the map, pushing it to become our biggest online seller to date. But this isn't your everyday, run of the mill sailboat mobile. What makes the Authentic Model's A-Cup mobile special is that is was modeled after REAL America's Cup racing yachts from the 1930s! Swing by your local Ark location to get a true up-close view of this intricate mobile made from solid wood and real cotton sails.

Memorable Store Events
We're definitely party people here. So we love to find ways to get both customers and our staff involved throughout the year. We threw a lot of cool events this year, with our first annual Halloween Contest being one of our most successful events! We had well over a 100 entries and gave out prizes for categories like Best Overall Costume, Frozen Inspired Costume, Most Creative and Dynamic Duo.
Later on in the year we partnered with American Express and locally-owned businesses across the country to celebrate the importance of shopping small. Using the hashtag, #ShopSmall, we used our social networks to connect with fellow small toy stores as well as getting the word out about shopping local in the Bay Area. Our lovely sales associate Laura even took the time to create this awesome #ShopSmall photo for our Facebook page.
This is just the tip of the iceberg for us! Stay tuned for even more tid bits about our most favorite memories and toys of the year.
This is really a wonderful post.
