“Buy a toy for anybody, and I’m going to foot the entire bill,” Lepore said in a video posted on social media. “Maybe you know a family in need, or a little boy or girl who would love a unique toy. Or maybe even a foundation that’s looking for donations. Go ahead and stop in. Make someone’s day, make someone smile, and in turn make my day because that’s truly what I love.”

At Happy Hippo Toys, shoppers will find Djeco toys, Peco Trains and Bruto Trucks, as well as magic sets, puppets, Matryoshka Dolls, piggy banks, Pogo Sticks, rocking horses, Jack in the Box, Madame Alexander, yo-yos, Calico Critters, wagons, stuffed animals, Slinky's, wiffle balls, an assortment of board games and more.
