I've been going here for years, and every single time I go it's an amazing experience. Everyone who works here is so helpful and kind, always ready to help you find whatever you need or answer any questions you may have. I genuinely love this store so much. Thank you, Off The Wagon, for being the location for so many hang outs, and for fueling my questionable financial decisions of buying yet another plushie. read more

Went in for a specific item and was told they had none and had been out for hours. I spoke to two friends, one of which had purchased one an hour before I went in and was told there were six left, and another who bought one an hour after I left. So, whether I was lied to or the employee was too lazy to check stock, it was not worth the trip. read more

One of my favorite stores. There always really nice staff. The they regularly have their items in stock and are easy to find in sections. I love the store and everything they offer. Great place to by some of niche things I really enjoy and other mainstream items as well! read more

Great place to walk around for an hour. They have games, puzzles, and even musical instruments. I wanted to buy something but the guy at the register was unresponsive. Oh well. Still fun just to look at everything. The owner of this place obviously understands the art of window-dressing and merchandise-arranging - everything looked great. Really nice to see in a downtown area like this. read more

This store has the cutest products for adults young at heart! I can purchase everything on the shelves; there is something for everyone who likes to shows, movies, inspirational individuals and more. There is kids section to purchase some good quality wooden toys and enjoyable children's books. I love stopping by every time I am in Kent! read more

There is just something about "Off The Wagon" that I love. It is a good blend of new and nostalgic. Funny, fun and "OMG! I needs that!" I love to bring my kids, but I love to go alone too. There seems to be something for everyone here. The store itself is clean and neat, but tightly packed. Worth going through once, but I love to come multiple times a year. You never know what you'll find. Parking, like most in Acorn Alley, is a crap shoot. They have wonderful, knowledgeable and fun employees. I've never had bad service here. A little pricey but worth it! read more

This store was super cute. Fun entertaining, snarky things for adults but also engaging, cute toys for children. I loved the imaginative stuffed animal selection they had. Everything was organized and displayed beautifully. read more

I had so much fun visiting this online store. Fun and quirky gifts abound. I am so leary of the dreaded Amazon. I never know if what I'm getting is a cheap knock-off. Here, The prices were right and the gifts were of great quality and shipped fast. It was a great experience and I will absolutely shop with Off the Wagon again. read more

I've been in this place a few times, and it is packed with tons of cool games for all age groups. We love to play games as a family, and a lot of stores like this only contain games for advanced "gamers." Not only does this place have games for all ages, but they have lots of them. The staff has always been super helpful and knowledgeable as well. Most interesting is that I have checked many of the prices of the games against Amazon prices and they are pretty close. This allows me the awesome opportunity to support local business! Having a party and need a game? Want to spice up family night? Into cult card and board games? This is the spot! read more

So much to see here...this is a great place for kids and adults. I will be back for Christmas shopping for sure, tons of stocking stuffer selections. Unique items at great prices. We loaded up on buttons for back packs for back to school. We have bought games here before also. The staff is so friendly and quick. There is also a rewards program to sign up for at the register. The store was also dog friendly. read more

Best novelty and toy store in NE Ohio!! Want a gift for a cool kid? They've got it. Looking for the latest superhero comic? It's here. Adult board game night? Lots to choose from here. Gag gift for your coworker? Yup! This place is without a doubt the most amazing, well-stocked, and fun shop for unique toys and games.

Are you looking for fun? Toys? Games? Comics? If you're in the Kent area, than I can't think of a better place then Off The Wagon. Stuffed animals, curious and novelties for all gift tastes and ages. We were helped by an awesome young lady who was very kind and thoughtful and we bought some one-of-a-kind items. It was great! So, if you want fun, cool gifts and good service, "fall" Off the Wagon, and have a great time! read more

Funky-little-shack. Funky, little shack. If my frequent visits to my parents' town take me to Kent, Off the Wagon is near the top of my list. It's a mid-sized gift and novelty-item shop that includes whimsical little finds, such as 12 different kinds of funny Band-Aids, Walking Dead key chains, candy you thought vanished decades ago (Fruit Stripe, Razzles) or various mustache-and-bacon themed sundries. But you can also find thought-provoking board games, an interesting book or two, and fun little figurines from current cult TV shows (when I last went, it was Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, etc.) You can also count on a nice selection of snarky coffee mugs, silly little notebooks, and maybe even a vaguely inappropriate baby onesie or two. The employees are funny and nice, and don't seem to mind the frequent browsing everyone does before finally settling on what they actually like enough to bring home. read more

My 16yo daughters and I stopped by here when we saw Bob Ross and Mr. Roger's paraphernalia in the window. We spent over an hour pouring over the toys, games, knick-knacks, and do-hickeys dedicated to many pop culture items. The staff is friendly. The prices are competitive. In the back of one of the rooms, there is a gaming area where you and your friends can try out a game or two. There was so much to see I know we didn't see it all. read more

Bacon flavored dental floss? Inflatable unicorn horn? Emergency google eyes? These are just some of the creative and silly (or weird and strange, as they advertise) gifts jam packed into this little store in Kent. Seriously, there's so much jammed into this little store you could spend hours giggling and cackling at the "toys" in this shop and you still might miss some. I'm pretty sure my friend Matt would die of excitement with the diverse amount of bacon products offered. Want your car to smell like bacon? They have a bacon air freshener. Set on all birthday gifts for Matt....forever. Off the Wagon is the perfect place to find fun gag gifts for friends....or for things that you obviously don't need, but desperately should have. I mean, who doesn't need finger narwhals to entertain with on a boring day at work? The staff was beyond friendly and helpful and I'm pretty sure they get quite a giggle or two with the daily products. Fantastic find while perusing in Kent. read more

Great snd unique selection of toys for children of all ages. Great hours, too. I will come back. Worth the drive to Kent.

This place is almost too awesome for words. For everyone with an immature side (no matter how small that side may be), this place is a must see. They have games and novelties like you haven't seen before. The shop is tiny, but they somehow manage to stuff it full of fun things that can keep you entertained for hours. The staff are very knowledgeable, so if you know of some obscure game you've been dying to try, chances are they can find it for you. This is also a great place to purchase gag-gifts for friends. read more

This is probably one of my favorite stores in downtown Kent. I have a lot of very difficult family members to shop for, and so far each of the gag gifts I've gotten them from Off the Wagon have been instant hits. The store has anything you could imagine, and many things you'd never thought of. It's perfect for fun little inside-joke gifts, over the hill gifts and stocking stuffers. Not to mention, the staff is super friendly and just as humorous as the gifts they offer. read more

Love this little hidden shop inside of Acorn Alley!!!! They aren't your typical Toys R Us lead coated toy shop but offer a variety of unique gifts for children & the child trapped inside of us adults as well. I was able to purchase a lot of hard to find Cthulhu gifts and found some awesome items (bacon related objects & zombie as well) that I will def. be returning for. The sales associate, Ariel is so nice & I love her personality!!! read more

Great little store! My kids love the gag gifts - crazy flavored suckers, silly bands, funny misc. and I love all the unique stuff too. Cool lunch boxes, little stuff, and always something new in there. Nice addition to the new and improving Kent! I like that they are open at least one night a week too for a random drop-in. read more

I love looking around here and seeing all the stuff they get in. They have several fun and unusual items that will make you smile and laugh. The only downside is that they are a bit pricey. I know anything they have can be found online cheaper, but it's still nice getting it person and helping support a local business. If they were slightly more fair on pricing, I would defiantly buy a lot more then I already do. read more

Awesome shop! Lots of cool toys, games and even baby gifts. Definitely brings out the kid in everyone.

...love...love...love...something for everyone and my first stop for unique gift ideas...every trip to this great shop instantly takes me back to my childhood and introduces my kids to the treasures i grew up with...and a great staff to boot~!... read more

Cool little store with very different toys (some vintage). My five year old spent an hour looking around and touching everything before making a couple of selections. This is such a nice alternative to explore on a weekend afternoon. read more

"Off The Wagon" is THE BEST SHOP EVER! I love how they have lots of zombie gifts! Also I have seen a few owl things too and owls are my favorite animal! All the gags are soooo cute too! I am just waiting for the next time I come here! The staff is very nice and considerate too. I just bought some GIANT smarties! I LOVE OFF THE WAGON!!!! read more

in theory this store should be great but it's just ok in my humble opinion. the novelty wore off pretty quick and after visiting twice i haven't really found a reason to visit again. i much prefer big fun in coventry. read more
