Little Pnuts Toy Shoppe and Party Boutique
Little Pnuts has introduced a wide variety of services to make things easy for you!
Online shopping is available from your computer — or you can also shop via Facetime (by appointment) or on Instagram with tap to shop options. Stock up on items like puzzles, games, crafts, outdoor fun, and science kits.
Special Delivery Boxes:
These individual boxes are curated just for you. Just give them a call, let them know what ages you are shopping for, and options will be given.
Birthday Party Box:
You choose the theme, they’ll put it together. The box features the paper products and little surprises needed to celebrate your child’s special day. (Pro tip: ask about Teacher Appreciation, Graduation, or Mother’s Day options.)
Their balloon garlands are A-MAZING!
They’re available in two sizes: the 5-ft. deluxe mini-garland and the 3-ft. mini-bundle. Both can be customized. Bonus — the balloons are not filled with helium and stay inflated for about 1 MONTH! This is a perfect gift for Mother’s day, graduations, or birthdays. Ask about their custom no contact exterior installations for those big milestone celebrations.
All of their services are available for FREE delivery (within a 8-mile radius of the store), curbside pick-up (during the hours of 3-6 pm) and shipping.
Octavia Books
New Orleans is a literary city, no doubt about it! And this independent bookseller stocks a wide variety of children’s books, YA novels, teen fiction, biographies, best sellers, cookbooks…the list is endless.
Right now Octavia is offering free delivery or shipping to zip codes beginning in “701” on any order totaling $25 and more. Books…they do a family good!
JoJo the Clown
While clowns are in demand year-round, they’re also in demand for putting smiles on faces during stay-at-home orders. JoJo comes to you and performs magic tricks, makes balloon animals (safely done with an air machine), juggles, and just plain ‘ol clowns around for laughs.
Contact him to custom-design your show, to suit your budget and timeframe.

Need a birthday cake? These can be ordered and delivered with 24-hour notice!
