ICYMI: Buster Moon Gifts Opens In Farmingdale: 'It Just Exudes Fun'
Check out this story from earlier in the week on Farmingdale Patch.

FARMINGDALE, NY — Buster Moon has come to Farmingdale, bringing with it an array of novelties, trinkets, and comical gifts. The knickknacks shop is at 336 Main Street, replacing SOLO Fashion New York. The store is set to open Saturday morning.
MC Martin, who is transitioning from a human resources career in the city and has lived in Farmingdale for 20 years, owns the store. And she'll have help from her daughter, Molly.
While owning a bauble store was not a lifelong dream for MC, it has been an interest.

"I’ve seen the booming on Main Street, and one of the things I’ve always noticed is you go to dinner or lunch, and there’s nothing really to do before or after," she told Patch. "I know there’s Bell & Whistle and Back In Time, which are wonderful. But there’s not a lot of ‘where can I walk around and just shop?’"
Martin only wanted a Main Street storefront. After a months-long search, the space became available.

Buster Moon will sell gift items, novelties, and trinkets ranging from comical to unexpected.
"Everything here, I’ve not seen anywhere else, and I’ve been very specific about not having things other stores like this have," Martin said. "I tried very hard to make sure we had all different types of things so people have something new to look at.”
Martin has put an emphasis on making the interior design "quirky."
The walls are painted blue, yellow and orange. In one corner of the store is the life-sized Astronaut Steve figure where people can stick their faces in his helmet for photo opportunities.
Oven mitts featuring Walter White from the hit show "Breaking Bad" reading "Let's Cook;" planners with funny sayings like "there's just not enough hours in the day for all the stuff I'm not going to do;" and items for pets are just a few of the products in the shop.
