A Children’s Bookshop at the Outlets
The Storybook Shoppe sells books and toys for children, in suite A190 at Tanger 2 on Fording Island Road in Bluffton. Its owner picks the books herself, favoring Newbery and Caldecott Medal winners and titles that experts recommend, so the shelves lean toward well-loved stories over licensed tie-ins. The shop opened in 2009.
It is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day, which makes it a good break during an outlet trip with children.
Ordering by Phone or Email
If you are not sure what to buy, call (843) 929-1002 or email the shop with a child’s age, grade and interests and it will suggest books. It ships books nationwide for a flat fee and takes payment online, so it also works as a gift for a grandchild back home. The shop posts events on its Instagram and Facebook pages.
