“I love this store. I think curation is thoughtfully done. The prices vary so there’s “something for everyone.” You can tell they care about the details. It’s very neighborhood friendly too which is a nice touch. I hope more people continue to cross paths with this little store especially now that they have a bigger space! Very exciting. Also there’s a lot of women made things in the store- noticeably a women supporting women kind of business ? they also have some amenity items ive never seen in the US and am so grateful they carry.”
“This shop is the coolest! They sell items all from local vendors. Jewelery, tons of great art, clothing, soaps, plants. Great spot to just wander and see cool stuff. The staff is always great, too.”
“Stopped into One Strange Bird for the first time today! The associate was really helpful and super friendly. I was impressed by the quality of the items and the prices. Will definitely be back. Thank you for the warm invite, Naomi!”
“I've used this location twice for deliveries for work. Both times they were extremely friendly and helpful. I needed to send a get well care package and it was during the valentines holiday. Despite the fact that I know they were completely swamped, they still made me feel welcome and they were happy to help once again. Excellent service! Thank you!”
“Christine was the sweetest, warmest person. Even with as much random stuff they have she knew exactly where the item was! The most amazing experience! So happy I stopped in!”
“There are a lot of cute shops in Lincoln Square, but this one is my faaaaavorite. It’s a little further south on Lincoln (near the Davis). I love all the local art.”
“Very cool items because it reminds me of a much simpler time from me growing up 60's-70's. Need more places like this nowadays. Staff was A-1 and owners were way cool.I shall be back in the near future. May God watch over them with their journey in life. ✌️✊️”
“I saw these products at an art fair prior to visiting the shop. Wonderfully curated, so many unique gifts, and overall such a fun place to pop into if you're out and browsing and/or want to find something distinctive with personality for yourself or someone in your life!”
“Highly recommend this place! Went looking for a souvenir and had a very pleasant experience, not your typical souvenir shop that everything looks cheaply made. And very reasonably priced too.
The owner was there, she told us about the artists behind the illustrations they have and she was very nice. They feature local artists and lots of them are actually from the neighborhood.
They wrapped our gift free of charge.”

“super cute store and the employee working was so much fun to talk to. was great visiting from atlanta and was excited to stumble upon this place. she recommended us going to an oddities store right down the street when we were leaving, and that place was super cool too!”
“Finally went in after years of admiring stuff in the window. What a nice guy and a cool store—will definitely be back in the future. Beautiful and comfortable clothes that are so vibrant!”

“Fantastic shop with a wide array of Latinx, LGBTQ+, and Chicagoland products. Love the intersectionality. I learned about some new local artists as a bonus. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating, even when I accidentally knocked things on the floor. Can't wait to come back again and see what's new. Next time I'll budget time to get a tarot reading!”
“I would caution against letting this store gift wrap when they’re busy. The ornament I bought was broken on the corner when the recipient opened the gift. Of course she was too gracious to let me take it back since she really loved the ornament and chose to hang it broken. Better to take it and wrap it properly yourself.Update: 5 stars! The ornament was replaced and sent to the receiver. And the communication was excellent. They even corrected my mistake when I transposed the address. Thanks for great customer service!”
“Loved this place! Wanted to get some Chicago stuff while visiting, for friends. They have so many nice stuff - pictures, planters, clothes, games and other gifts. Ended up buying a couple of Chicago posters, a tote bag, and a T-shirt. The unisex tshirts are tricky in size, just fyi.”
“My favorite smoke shop! The owner is the best. She's super sweet and very helpful. I go here for all my smoke stuff. Very unique and beautiful selection of pipes and accessories. Great place for gifts.”
“I was kind of going between 4 and 5 stars, but thought to bump it up to a 5 because its a small business and exactly the kind of store you want in your community. The basic premise is that its a store that showcases Chicago based items and Chicago based companies. I really like it because its a great place to buy a unique gift for somebody. I would say most of the items lean towards "home goods", but if you ever need something for a housewarming party or need that last minute birthday gift, this place has you covered. If there is any "downside" is that their items tend to be a little bit on the expensive side. That really shouldn't be surprising as it is a small business supporting other small businesses. I also wish they had wider hours, but the foot traffic might not call for it. If you are looking for a cool Chicago gift for yourself or somebody else, I would highly recommend checking this place out! They are very nice and have some really good finds!”
“This place brings me warm fuzzy feelings just by walking inside. When you walk in you are bombarded with color, stimulation, and maximalism. Get ready to have fun.
Foursided is a great place to get gifts, candles, local artwork, small plant pots, baby books, cards, and more. The people working were talking about House of Dragons while I was shopping and they gave me the vibes that they wouldn't be upset if I jumped into the conversation!
Once you make your purchase they take off the price tags in case you are gifting the items which saves me a little time in the long run. They have tons of cards to choose from, making this a prime spot to go to get someone a gift. An extra bonus is a lot of the merchandise is from local artists and Chicago-themed.”
“As far as souvenir shops go, this is about as good as it gets. Friendly staff and good design.
If you need gifts, I'd absolutely recommend this place.
My wife has some mugs from a decade ago, we went last weekend while visiting with our moms and I have to say I'm impressed.”
“I absolutely love Judy Maxwell home. I think that Joan is great to put this little store together and sell the coolest items. I really love this store, its where i get all my Christmas shopping at.”
“Great local shop that features a variety of local artists and cute products - everything from cards to stickers to candles to fun souvenirs!
As a local Chicago artist who sells my products here, I can attest to how wonderful the owners are as well! I’ve been selling with them for years and appreciate not only how organized they are, but how well they treat the artists they carry!”

“I love supporting local businesses when I can. This is one anyone should support even if they don't live locally. Great for greeting cards for any occasion. I bought my wife some jewelry from here that she absolutely loves. There is so much fun stuff here. Much of it is hand made and sourced from artists and craftspeople from all over. The owner clearly takes a lot of pride in her business and she is always extremely friendly and helpful. It is my go-to gift shop in the city.”
“This is a really vibey art gallery, store, and community space. People who live on the Blue Line can and should come to their shows. Seeing the results of local artists' practice is ? Obviously, you can buy your favorites.
The wares in the store are really good gifts to yourself or to anyone who has an artistic soul. Last time I was there, there were eye-catching denim jackets with painted backs and dresses in really interesting prints. People should just hang out there.”
“This store fills me with joy! So much beautiful art and during fall spooky figurines and decor, beautiful notebooks, earrings… so much to see! I highly recommend!”
“One of my favorite boutiques in Chicago, I always stop here when visiting to look for gifts. Excellent selection of Christmas decor and ornaments during the holidays as well. Staff is super friendly & helpful every time.”
“Southside Irish Imports is the best place to shop for everything Irish! It is a very friendly family owned business that makes you feel welcome the minute you enter the store. Wonderful selection of clothes, Waterford, Belleek, Irish Jewelery, religious items and gifts for the home. You can find something for everyone on your list and will be treating yourself as well. A great one stop shop run by great people and fantastic way to support Small Businesses during these difficult days.”
“They have many things in this place. If you are looking for a gift ?. This place has a lot of variety! The place is very small, you cannot take a stroller or a wheelchair, you would throw things away and it is very busy with people.”
“Got a custom bouquet here for a wake I was attending. They did an amazing job and allowed me to see how different flowers/ colors would look. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I need flowers!”
