About Us

At Daniel Kasparek, we believe that every child’s playtime should be filled with joy, curiosity, and meaningful growth—and that’s the promise we’ve built our brand on. Founded by Daniel Kasparek, our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: to create high-quality, safe, and engaging children’s toys that spark imagination while supporting developmental milestones. Today, from our base at Bergstraße 159, 45770 Marl, Germany, we serve families across Europe through our online store, qgnixd.com, delivering toys that blend fun, education, and durability to homes everywhere.

Our Story: Rooted in a Love for Childhood Wonder

The idea for Daniel Kasparek took shape when Daniel Kasparek, a parent and long-time enthusiast of child development, noticed a gap in the market: too many toys prioritized flashy designs over lasting value, or entertainment over educational benefit. As a resident of Marl, Germany—a community that values family, quality craftsmanship, and intentional living—Daniel set out to create a brand that honored those values.
In 2018, Daniel Kasparek started as a small, local venture, with Daniel handpicking and testing every toy to ensure it met strict standards for safety, sustainability, and playability. What began as a passion project quickly grew: local families fell in love with our curated selection of toys, from soft, sensory-friendly plushies for toddlers to interactive building sets that teach problem-solving to older kids. By 2021, we expanded to our online store, qgnixd.com, to share our vision with families beyond Marl—making it easy for parents across Germany and Europe to access toys that align with their desire to nurture their children’s growth.
Today, we remain true to our roots: every decision, from product sourcing to customer service, is guided by the same care and attention Daniel brought to the brand’s early days. Our physical location at Bergstraße 159 isn’t just an office—it’s a hub where we test new toys, connect with local families, and stay grounded in the community that inspired us.

Our Mission: Toys That Grow With Your Child

At the core of Daniel Kasparek is a mission to redefine “playtime” as more than just fun—it’s a critical part of how children learn, explore, and build confidence. We believe toys should adapt to your child’s changing interests and abilities, which is why we focus on three key principles in every product we offer:
  1. Safety First: We adhere to the strictest European safety standards (including EN 71 and CE certification) and conduct rigorous third-party testing to ensure every toy is free from harmful materials, sharp edges, or small parts that pose risks to young children. For us, safety isn’t an afterthought—it’s the foundation of everything we do.
  1. Developmental Value: Every toy in our collection is chosen or designed to support specific developmental skills. Our soft, textured rattles help infants build fine motor control; our colorful shape-sorting puzzles teach toddlers hand-eye coordination and color recognition; and our STEM-focused building kits encourage older kids to think critically and creatively. We don’t just sell toys—we sell tools that help children thrive.
  1. Sustainability: We’re committed to reducing our environmental footprint, both for the planet and for future generations of children. Many of our toys are made from eco-friendly materials, such as FSC-certified wood, organic cotton, and non-toxic, water-based paints. We also use minimal, recyclable packaging to cut down on waste, because we believe responsible play starts with responsible practices.

Our Collection: Curated for Every Age and Interest

At qgnixd.com, you’ll find a carefully curated selection of toys tailored to children from 0 to 10 years old, each designed to match their developmental stage and spark joy—all under the Daniel Kasparek brand:
  • Toddler & Infant Toys (0–3 years): Soft plush animals with crinkly textures, BPA-free teething toys, and large, easy-to-grasp building blocks—all designed to stimulate senses and build early motor skills.
  • Preschool Toys (3–5 years): Colorful puzzles, pretend-play sets (like play kitchens and doctor kits), and musical instruments that encourage creativity, social interaction, and language development.
  • School-Age Toys (6–10 years): STEM kits (robotics, chemistry sets), detailed building bricks, and outdoor toys (kites, jump ropes) that challenge older kids, foster problem-solving, and get them active.
Every toy in our collection is tested not just for safety, but for “playability”: we ask local children in Marl to try out new products, getting their feedback to ensure the toys are truly engaging. After all, the best toy is one that a child will return to again and again—and that’s the standard we uphold at Daniel Kasparek.
