Spacious. Lots of options. A little bit expensive depending on the occasion. Lots of nice puzzle choices!

There aren’t a lot of places like this so I’m giving it four stars. It’s pretty spacious and it seems to be a bit of an effort to try to get some help. It’s large enough that you could feel overwhelmed trying to find something specific. The Asian guy standing behind the counter with another girl was apparently playing a game on his phone and couldn’t look up. I finally got the girl to tell me where what I was looking for MIGHT be. It seems like they like to stand behind the counter and even when I came up with a question right before checking out I wasn’t addressed right away with three people behind the counter. I would go back simply because of lack of competition.

Excellent selection of party supplies, toys, candies. Especially strong with plush toys (but prices are high) and balloons. Park around back.

One of those places you hope never closes but you know nothing lasts forever so enjoy it while you can. They have everything from toys to books to candy to partirs and costumes. Its a big place packed full of fun stuff. Yes you could probably shop around and save a couple bucks but isnt nice having this place right in town, no waiting for Amazon, dont have to set foot in a big box nightmare?!?!

Need anything at all for a childs birthday party? Balloons, cards, wrapping paper, gifts and more can be found here. This is a large store. Need a Halloween costume in May? This is your store. Need some candy?

One of the very few remaining independent party and candy preparation shop. This is not a small establishment. Quite sizeable and a huge selection of party prep items. Candy selection is great, toy and board game selection is also pretty good, although largely geared for pre-teen and toddlers. Various plate sets for parties should be a pleasant surprise and interesting availability of makeup and outfit. The only downside is it is quite pricey but that should be expected from such a specialty shop.

Fantastic selection of party supplies, birthday gifts, and costumes. They offer limited costumes throughout the year and really increase the selection around Halloween. They have standard year-round party supplies divided into easy to browse sections by theme from solid color through all of the popular characters. They also have an aisle of rotating seasonal decorations. There is a great variety of balloons. They sell an amazing variety of unique gifts from puzzles and boardgames to smaller collectible items. They even offer Legos at a reasonable price. They lose points from me when it comes to checkout. There is no identified line, people cut in front of you after you have been waiting. It is difficult to distinguish who is just taking balloon orders and who is actually ringing customers up.

Who could say no to non-preservatives Swedish candies?! Only weird people who like gooey, chew able candies, thats who! Best naturally sweet candy. I love it.

Love this place for all its party favors - every type of paper product and party decoration you can think of! Plus a whole toy area, with tons of options for birthday presents. Its our go-to place to get gifts, and also ideas of gifts for the kids. Great to get balloons, and more candy than you can imagine too.

Reasonably clean store. Only a couple aisles in transition. Lots of nice toys and party favors. Pretty light on Mickey mouse stuff though. Solid party and toy store. Parking can be a challenge, park behind the store our on the streets behind.

If you need pretty much anything you can think of for a party, theyve probably got it. Or if youre planning a party, just go peruse to get some ideas. They stock up for the usuals: Halloween, July 4th, Superbowl, etc. Their toy selection is also decent for little ones.

Great for party offs and ends and kids toys, but many of the kids toys are overpriced (not all, but many, have to kinda think about it and weigh your options). Definitely good place for some cool balloons.

Used to be 5 stars. Still has a great selection of items, but everything is marked up in price like crazy. One easy example: they wanted $8.99 for a pack of pokemon cards which almost any other store (e.g. target) has for $3.99 or even $4.99 at most. For the larger card packs they wanted $18.99 which other stores have for $12.99. Feels like a rip off. Very disappointing.

Diddams is a small store but it has a good amount to offer. Be carful with what you buy here because some of it is really cheap but the other half is good quality at an okay price. Diddams can be unnecessarily pricy. Like a small candle can cost $5, which to me is ridiculous. However, if you have a smal child and want party bags or have a themed party for them, diddams is where you should go. They have small fun toys that come in bulk and lots if different kinds a party bags and balloons.

I live in San Carlos where Diddams is like the place to be for kids and teens. However, It is super expensive and the employes are rude and the store manager has told so many kids they have to leave for just stupid reasons, not to mention she is unnecessarily rude and I believe she is some sort of widow who is mean to kids just so she can let her anger and sadness out.
