AN EDGE TO ADULTHOOD
How Fantasy World caters to its original clientele By bazaar staff
When Fantasy World first opened its doors in Kuwait, our childhoods were forever changed. Fantasy World delivered to us glimpses of the luxe life, offering wondrous toys, games, crafts and educational activities for us to indulge in without having to travel out of the country to the West to procure these childhood favorites.

It seems that Fantasy World misses us, however, and so to pay homage to our generation and include us back in the fun, they’ve introduced The Edge – a department dedicated to adults! (If that’s what we’re calling ourselves now.) Tried and tested, The Edge literally evokes the same emotions you’d feel when going into Fantasy World to spend your hard-earned Eid cash. The only difference is that now, instead of entering with a wad of Eidiya, you have a credit card jam-packed with your salary!

that we should continue to frequent the toy store for gifting needs, as The Edge’s “adult gifts” are perfect for everyone. 3D printing pens, quality drones, Karaoke machines and easy gardening systems are just a few of the treasures The Edge has to offer. Speakers are aplenty with different options to choose from, but what caught our attention was the Marshall Stanmore speaker system that exudes retro vibes with ultimate modernity. Its appearance mirrors the classic Marshall amplifier system, but operates with Bluetooth to you’re your favorite tunes from your preferred device. It also gives you control to fine tune the system in order to produce the sound you like, but promises great quality even if left as is. Their PURE speakers offer a walk down memory
