I know I can come here for high quality gifts for my friends and family that they love time and time again. There are a range of products to select from- both for older and younger audiences, which makes it a great spot to buy for multiple people. I especially enjoy having a local spot that makes buying from other smaller businesses accessible, so Lou Lou's is a 10/10 from me!!

Who woulda thunk it? An independent toy store in Hickory, right on Union Square! From the outside,…read morelooks can be deceiving. You might think it looks like a consignment shop or the like. Inside, however the place is kind of magical. The first thing you see when you enter is a large display of toys made from recycled plastic, complete with dirt and tools. Everywhere you turn, there's another awesome, well put together toy or baby gear display. The merchandise is divided by age appropriate items. Just when you think you're done, there's a large circular staircase down to another level, where the toys for older children are located. One of the best things is how "hands on "kid friendly it is; it's a total no judgment zone! Tons of sample toys have been laid out for kids to actually play with! The next great things are the prices! Very fair and reasonable - not boutique prices like you might think! Great place to pick up a gift for a kid you love!

What I like best about this store are the low prices and the cool t-shirts. They have some really…read morecreative novelty t-shirts for $5, just about all year round. That's great because kids are messy and they go through shirts like a runny nose through a box of Kleenex! The kids also really like the clothes and don't need much coaxing to wear them. Yes!!

I went into the store to buy some things for my nephew. I saw two baby walkers behind the counter…read more I asked the lady if they were available. She stated that they had not bought them from the customer yet. So I kind of waited around the register looking at things. I watched two people come in and I heard them take the offer and both times she said walker. So I knew they were available. This girl had her back to me and put a sticker on the walker I wanted. And I walked up and said oh great is it available now? She turned around and said oh no it's not but this other one is. She handed me an older kind of more used one that didn't even have a sticker on it. Then her little friend tried to ring me up with it right then. I told her I wasn't done shopping. Then I watched this girl put the walker upside down on the floor. I asked a family member to go see if they would sell it to her. Same thing oh it's not available. Idk if she was saving it for someone or she wanted it for herself. But it was the only boy Mickey Mouse walker in the store. I ended up buying him a pink one from there just so he would have one at my house. I was ticked and I'm calling because that is ridiculous. I was going to buy him a bunch of stuff from there but I ended up just getting the walker because it pissed me off so much. Here is the walker when she took it and flipped it upside down.

Time Flyz is an great children's boutique and just what Hickory needed. The store is clean and…read moremodern with a kid's lounge! My kids loved hanging out while I shopped. The selection of clothing is just adorable. They offer more than children's clothing. Inside you can find Doterra essential oils, handmade soaps and lotions from a local artisan, diaper bags, backpacks, a small selection of jewelry, tumblers and a large selection of tee shirts (infant through adult sizes) ready to be personalize with vinyl or embroidery. The owners, Lori and Robbie were friendly and a pleasure to meet. When you visit, you will be greeted with a smile from one of the sweetest business owners you will ever meet. I will be back.

A business that cannot even keep consistent hours is a joke. Hi
