Large wooden blocks - for stacking, throwing, and later assembling a fort, etc.

No colors or letters on them.
The Vermont Country Store (catalogue) has a nice selection of Fisher-Price toys, though pricey, but, if it's what you want and no one else has them, sometimes you have to pay the long price. Of course, there's always Ebay and thrift shops.
They showed about 8 or 10 Fisher-Price toys, including the milk bottles and the Clock, likely also the xylophone.

I might add - a visit to a grocery store also has a social aspect

for me as well, even though that is not the main purpose of my going to the grocery store.
But I do run into friends and acquaintances whom I may not have seen in a while, even years.
And for that reason, I don't mind grocery shopping at all.

The social aspect is a side benefit.

I attend Mass regularly anyway, for a sense of satisfying the spiritual side of my life, to be reminded once a week of the words and example set by Jesus of Nazareth, to hear the exhortation of the homilist to live a a meaningful life.
A coffee house means nothing to me. I wouldn't know a soul there. Not at all interested in pricey cups of coffee.
