So, we needed a Birthday present once again for a friend and again I did not feel like running in to the infamous Walmart. I am sure all of you know the story well. I am not sure what it is about the Boone Walmart? (or any of them for that matter) It seems like I can enter in a perfectly peaceful state of mind but “lo and behold”, when I come out I seem to be frazzled. You know the kind of frazzled that a mother hen feels when you come to close to one of her baby chicks. I always go in and spend entirely way to much money and more importantly time. That being said, I have had many lovely experiences shopping for birthday gifts at my favorite toy store up here: The Incredible Toy Company.
Here are some of the reasons why my experience is always good at the Incredible Toy Co.
- For starters, they have wonderful train tables with trains that let my boys enter into their train fantasy world. It entertains them totally while I shop.
- The employees are always so friendly and helpful.
- They have bathrooms really close if one of the kids needs to go potty. Lets face it usually when I have just entered my ” I am almost done shopping zone” someone says they need to go to the bathroom.
- And then to top it off they will actually wrap the Birthday present for me!
I walked out of there today with a really cool,unique,and educational gift for only around $13.00! Now that is impressive in my opinion. I love being able to give my money to the local Mom & Pops businesses instead of those huge chains that take most of their profits and invest it off of the mountain.
For those of you readers who may not know this, the Incredible Toy Co. is located on 321 between Boone and Blowing Rock. They are locally owned and operated since 1993. To find out more about them visit there website www.incredibletoycompany.com Keep a heads up because they usually run a special when Thomas The Tank Engine rolls into Tweetsie.

Love going to the Incredible Toy Co. They carry the Ugly Dolls. I have an 7th month old little girl and so far the Ugly Dolls is her favorite. They are called Ugly Dolls but I think that are really cute and funny.
My daughter LOVES the little horses they carry there!!!

I have actually never gone in before!! I know! I drive past the store at least 5 times a week (actually 10 if you think of a round trip) and have never gone in!! I guess I just need to get my rear in gear and check the place out! A GC would do just that too!! Oops!

My son is really into trucks right now. I am afraid to take him in there because I’m sure a tantrum will be thrown if he doesn’t get everything he wants!!! But, we would certainly put the GC to good use there!

Elijah is very into animals at the moment, and there is a great set of dinosaurs that I’ll probably get for him.

I’m feeling the beginnings of a train table set for my little guy. That’s probably next on my list. It’s so fun to look there and the employees are always so kind and helpful.
I agree with you on the WalMart emotional drain! I’m also a subscriber.
