About Toy & Hobby
Playtime, Rebooted
Nostalgia • Joy • Creativity
What Is It?
Toy & Hobby is more than just a website – it’s a passion project dedicated to celebrating the nostalgic joy of childhood play. We believe that the toys, games and hobbies which we loved as we grew up have shaped who we are today, and those memories deserve to be shared, celebrated, and preserved.
This is a community where stories matter. Whether it’s the excitement of unwrapping your first action figure, the satisfaction of completing a challenging model kit, or the simple joy of a well-worn board game on a rainy afternoon – every memory has a place here.
Our Mission
To create a warm, welcoming space where people can share their toy and hobby stories, discover new interests, and connect with others who understand the magic of play. We’re here to prove that growing up doesn’t mean growing out of wonder.
Our Vision
A world where the joy of play is celebrated at every age, where nostalgia brings people together, and where the simple pleasure of a favourite toy or hobby can brighten anyone’s day. Playtime, rebooted for the modern world.
Geoff’s Story
Hi! I’m Geoff, the person behind Toy & Hobby. Like many of you, I grew up surrounded by toys that sparked my imagination – from Scalextric sets that turned my bedroom floor into Silverstone, to model kits that taught me patience and precision.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realised that these weren’t just toys – they were teachers, companions, and gateways to creativity. This site is my way of honouring those memories and creating a space where others can do the same. Because sometimes, the best way to move forward is to remember where we came from.
