Unique Kid Specialty Stores Outside Of Downtown Asheville, NC: NO TOYS R US TO BE FOUND!

I've previously offered ideas on where in the downtown center to make souvenir purchases for the young folk in the family while staying in one of our Asheville vacation rentals, enjoying a break from the stresses of daily living. This is an especially good idea if you are taking advantage of our Last Hurrah Babymooners Getaway package" Last Hurrah Babymooners Getaway package (click on the link and scroll through our specials until you see these great money saving deals: coupons to 2 of the stores listed here)!

If you are still feeling adventurous after perusing downtown and you want to stop and shop for the kids while out and about, Dancing Bear Toys on Tunnel Rd. (very close to the mall, I might add) is a great children's toy store. You can check out Just Ducky in Biltmore Village, a store offering local, handmade clothing for children and a small selection of gifts and toys. Also in Biltmore Village is Once Upon a Time, a wonderful children's shop full of fun toys and books. One of my favorites is in West Asheville: The Littlest Birds. They offer a beautiful selection of organic infant-to-toddler clothing (many locally made) and non-toxic toys. This store also has consignment!

Asheville not only offers many great adventures for the family; the shopping is fabulous as well. And as you can see, there are many choices (and many not listed!) of possibilities when your children say to you, “There is nothing here for me to look at! What can I buy?!”
