This is such a special and even magical place, right out of a movie. I love the vintage stamped ceiling and the quirky, beautiful ornaments in the shape of every kind of animal— have an octopus, zebra, lion, and more. A wonderful place to pick out a thoughtful gift from a local small business, especially when you don’t know what to get or for the person who has everything.

Spectacular. Ducked in when traveling and we were delighted. Thoughtful and incredibly curated shop. Lots of fun and play in the inventory! Hope to visit in another trip

This is a fun place with a great variety of items. Easy to spend a long time looking at it all. Like to go for the not so usual items. The staff members are very friendly and helpful!

There is something for everyone here! You will never see everything they have to offer, but the shopping experience is more like a treasure hunt. The staff is extra friendly and I wouldn't recommend going shopping anywhere til after you shop here first!

RR#1 has the best products and the best service! Sherri recently helped me with an online order issue and followed through with her promise to send back ordered items. Truly grateful for Sherri and RR#1

What a cool little store filled with some unique finds and the perfect place for endless gifts. The aisles are tight to browse, and there is stuff tucked away everywhere, so give yourself time to really have a good look. Some pricier items are probably worth the tag if you want something unusual, hard to find, or collectible. I kept sneezing as I walked around because it's a little dusty in places but I look forward to seeing this place again at Christmas time as I feel like I could find a gift for most everyone on my shopping list. Check out the fun birthday cards and cute jewelry.

The BEST store in Chicago. When you walk inside, it feels like you are transported far away from busy Ashland ave.! It is obvious that every little thing in the store is carefully curated. They have everything kooky, funny, beautiful, and fun. I have loved coming here since I was little and enjoy it even more as an adult. Great place to get gifts

Really cute store, and pretty well priced too. You can find really cute and useful stuff in here. All sorts of stickers, toys, home decorations, notebooks, pens, pencils, posters, jewelery, and other interesting little knick knacks. Staff is very friendly as well, and the ambiance is really interesting.

This is my absolute favorite gift shop in all of the city. It is a perfectly preserved apothecary with floor to ceiling original shelving full of cool catchy gifts from cute, stuffed animals to high end tea pots. This is the place to go when you don’t have any clue what to get somebody but you know you want to get them something cool and unique.

I used to frequent this store a lot and loved the hell out of it. I have purchased so many items and used them in my everyday life. I just left the store after a clerk (a man with glasses and a ponytail) just accused me of stealing rings that were not there when I first arrived to the store. No apology either.
