The Idea Factory is an awesome place to look at and buy fun USA made wooden toys, cookware, and curios. Lots of great puzzle boxes!

Beloved shop. Incredible toys and items for adults, all wooden & handmade. Great for holiday shopping and the owner ships if you’re not local! Such a wonderful store.

This store is great and would make a one-stop gift shop with unique presents for almost anyone.The owner, Dave, is a paragon of Southern hospitality. He happily chatted with us for what must have been nearly 30 minutes on two separate occasions--offering up his personal insights on a variety of things but also engaging us with questions. Very genuine. We would stop here again just to say hi to him...and would doubtlessly find something else interesting to buy!

This place is magical. Tons of different toys, puzzles and decoration pieces made out of wood. Everything is hand made and uttermost quality. Really, really worth the stop.

Highly recommended!! A wonderful break from the gaudy and glitzy tourist shops that abound in the quarter. You'll find the fantastical, the whimsical, and the amazing. I regularly stop in with my kids to see their latest stuff. You'll see toys, curios, collectables, and gadgets that are fashioned--not churned out in a factory--by skilled Craftsmen. Want to give the gift of no screen time? Pick up your next gift here!
