What the community has to say about Uncle Fun

Information about this business (3)

A unique purveyor of fine goods and accessories designed to restore the whimsical nature with which you arrived on this planet

Boldly based on Belmont Avenue (where many of the world's most bizarre designs are birthed), Uncle Fun serves up an eclectic array of fun stuff. We'll do our best to put a smile on your face and a spring in your step. Or a spring in your face and a smiley face on your steps. Whatever. We're here. Come and see us. Let's have some fun.

Everyone is a child at heart. And when you go to Uncle Fun, you are made sure to believe it. The whacky merchandise includes 'bobbing head figurines', 'stink bombs', 'beautiful blowy bunnies' and even 'fart powder' ideal for pranksters. Gadgets, toys, celebrity posters, bobble-heads, hand-buzzers are just a few regular stuff among the galore. Check out the small Romeo books and string of trout...

Whenever I'm looking for a quirky Christmas stocking stuffer or the perfect gag gift, I know Uncle Fun will come through for me. (1950s-era toy robots for a sci-fi-geek friend? Check. And how about some 3-D Jesus postcards for a Catholic school grad? Check.) Bins and cubbyholes are stuffed full of the standard joke toys (rubber-chicken key chains and chattering wind-up teeth), but you'll also...

Dreamers of all ages are welcome at this cozy store full of hidden treasures and toys.

The Extras: If you're shopping for a gift, head across the street to Paper Boy (owned by the same people as Uncle Fun) for a whimsical card.
