We visited Tim's Wooden Toys after spotting it in the main Downtown Helen area. All of the toys and…read morecrafts inside are made from wood and they had a decent selection ranging from pistols to wooden games. Many of the items were sold out ( swords, small guns) , however. Staff were nice and our little one enjoyed the toy gun we purchased. The toys are simple but entertaining and it's a nice shop to remind us of how less complicated life used to be!

My daughter and I wandered in here. I appreciated that it wasn't the average toy store and it…read moredidn't feel like another tourist trap gift store. I got Christmas gifts for my whole family. Something to send to my deployed husband, a harmonica for my four year old son who LOVES any and all instruments and spinning tops to use with my two year old. My little girl loves looking at and plying with everything. This place wasn't overly busy and it was great that nothing was fragile and nothing made crazy noises (like so many of my kids' toys do).

This is a great not-so-little antique shop in downtown Dawsonville :) So many rooms here. I guess a…read morelong time ago the building used to be a bank- there are two rooms that are actually huge safes! I snapped a few photos of that. The workers here were very friendly and helpful. There were lots of items to look at. Tons of beautiful mirrors, glassware, paintings, knickknacks and more. Gotta come check it out for yourself! The prices are pretty reasonable. I bought a piece of decor when my friends and I stopped by today. I'd happily come back.

The little shop is awesome!!!! You can pick out scented candles in different sizes. The neat thing…read moreabout these candles is that they illuminate in different colors when ignited. They smell really good too. I purchased one candle and immediately fell in love with it that I had to go back and buy another. The scents are not overpowering either. It has the right amount of fragrance that can be enjoyed even when the candle is not lit. The store has other items for purchase but for me, I was strictly focused on the candles. Money well spent!

Of course I put a couple of these valuable USB to C cable in the shopping cart. It is getting full now as we headed towards the checkout counter.

Review - November 29, 2024 I went to this store today and…read morebought a tree for $150, paying with my card. At the time, I wasn't asked for ID. Since I didn't want to lug a massive tree around while continuing to shop, I came back later for more purchases. This time, I went to a different cashier who, to put it bluntly, looked as old as the state of Georgia. She demanded my ID for a transaction over $50. When I told her (with the same attitude she gave me) that I wasn't asked for ID when buying the tree, she shot back with, "It's always been our policy." Clearly, this isn't true--it's inconsistent and fake. If that's the policy, why wasn't it enforced earlier? The whole experience was aggravating and made worse by the cashier's poor attitude and lack of understanding of customer service. Needless to say, I won't be recommending this store to anyone. Not only is the service subpar, but outdated policies--or poorly trained staff--make for a frustrating shopping experience. It's probably time to reevaluate both your policies and your employees.
