The flower/plants place across the road at the side of IKEA ( not next to Chinese shop ) sells them. Not cheap though.

There is a large toy shop on the same estate, further up the road than Mercadona  "Jugetes" toys in Spanish, it is open to the public, never been in there, but I would have thought it was your best bet.

I've never understood why that place, in the position it's in close to Caleta, has always stuck to the Spanish name, "Juguetes". 99% of tourists won't have a clue what it is.
A catchy name like "TOYS 4 YOU" also on the sign, would make more sense.

I rest my case. Unless you understand Spanish you wouldn't know. Right on the main road too where 1000's of tourists go past every day.
