Of all the little field trips we took over at Coventry Elementary School, the most interesting one was to this store, about a two-minute walk from the school. It's the kind of place that sells lunch boxes, potato guns, and that little thingymajig you've always wanted: the definition of a novelty shop.
It's owned locally, which is a good thing. But frankly, I'd go anywhere close for this kind of kitsch. Everything is cheap-ish and it's clear that a lot of genuine fun has been had in making the store work.
If you're in Coventry anyway, you must not miss this store; if you're looking for a cute birthday present, check it out; if you're in the state - well - think about it.
