This is a Brave Bag

When a child settles into the chemo chair, a Brave Bag is there to meet them. It's a bundle of comfort and distraction for the hardest days, hand-packed and delivered bedside by Maxwell's Toy Box.

Every Brave Bag is funded entirely by proceeds from the Shoppe, never by the toys in your cart.

How Maxwell's Toy Shoppe works

It's shopping with purpose, and every order helps another child smile during a difficult day.

Shop for your child

Browse toys, books, faith gifts, and more. Add your family's favorites to the cart.

We ship to your family

Your order is packed and shipped straight to your home. These toys are yours to keep.

You fund a Brave Bag

100% of proceeds help Maxwell's Toy Box pack and deliver Brave Bags, care packages for children receiving chemo treatment.

Two things happen with every order

What you receive

The toys & gifts you order ship to your home. Yours to keep, play with, and treasure together.

What you make possible

Your proceeds fund a Brave Bag, a care package for a child receiving chemo. Never the items in your cart.

Inspired by our son, Max

When Max was diagnosed with leukemia at just two years old, we learned how much time children spend in hospitals, clinics, and treatment rooms. During those long days, a new toy or surprise often brought comfort, distraction, and something to look forward to.

As Maxwell's Toy Box grew, families asked how they could support our work year-round. So we created Maxwell's Toy Shoppe, a place to shop for the toys, gifts, and faith-based items your family already loves, while helping us deliver comfort and joy to children facing childhood cancer.
