“We have been shopping at Murray's since they were in the Oak Brook mall! I think they have been in this new location for at least 16 years or more! We go there at least once or twice a year (usually Christmas and St Patrick's Day) to buy something beautiful and support this fantastic business! I have never been disappointed with any our our purchases! Just wish I could buy more as everything is so nice! Have so many beautiful Irish crosses and my St Brigid's cross has hung on my wall for over 17 years! The owners are very nice and helpful if you are looking for a gift for someone special!”
“I would like to start my review by saying "HELLO DARLING." This was an interesting shop for me because I was unsure whether this shop would have anything for me. But, upon suggestions, I ventured to this shop. I was in this area previously but never knew that there was a hidden gem (shop) in the area. Where were you "The Darling Shop"? Upon entering the store, the store associate welcomed me by placing a white disco ball necklace around my neck (I felt like I was given a medal for partying hard lol) and handed me the goodie bag. She was sweet and patient. As a part of the event, the goodie bag had white disco ball necklace, pink disco ball drink tumblers, facial cleansing wipe, nail polish and some stickers. She explained to me a little history about the store. It blew me away when I knew that this store sells their goods from local area small businesses, people etc. The Darling shop is a stage for all these mini businesses where every product is made with minute detail. This was my first surprise. The store had party stuff, women's fashion, baby stuff was on the right side from the counter, home goods, sunglasses on the left side to the wall and many more. There was one section where they had various kinds of greeting cards. There were a variety of things in the store. My first look was that it was a store for women but as I went around for a bit then it was eye-catching when I saw they had a small section for men which was my second surprise. They had Men's accessories, clothing, and grooming. Upon looking, I bought a black pair of socks for myself. To sum up, the store was cool with such a variety of daily goods. I could not get to meet the owner NIKKI, but the store instantly gives you happy vibes with all the positive quotes around the store and for the stuff they are selling. I also checked out their website which was great, but the only recommendation is it would be nice if the font color is white (other color) on top and bottom of the website as it can be more visible. I would recommend my friends to explore this store. Lastly, for me, THE DARLING STORE = INSTANT HAPPINESS.”
“Bought a fruit basket for my wife's bday. It was ready for pick up on time. It looked beautiful. Fruit was extremely fresh and tasty. Friendly staff. This will be a new BDay tradition moving forward. Thank you.”

“I’ve been to this shop twice now. First time was almost by accident and so glad I happened upon it. Second time, I had a friend visiting from Milwaukee. We drove from downtown Chicago to the shop (about 35 mins) and the shop was closed. We inquired in a neighboring shop and long story short, a wonderful neighboring retailer opened the shop until someone could get there to ring up our purchases. It is an amazing shop with great gifts (for others or yourself!) and the retailers in that little strip are second to none!! I will shop here continuously for all my special gifts!! Thanks to the owner and her amazing staff and the friendship of the neighboring shops.”

“Wish I could give 10 stars!!!! If you're in need of amazing invitations and customer service, then look no further than Sass N Class! MaryBeth was a dream to work with from start to finish and made the entire wedding invitation (and stationary) process so very easy + fun! Her expertise, attention to detail, extensive customization options, high-quality supplies and overall knowledge are second to none!”
“Great selection. Each genre or character/show is separate into groups. Very high quality items and no junk. Isn't way over priced like many other places as prices are fair I'd say. Employees always very nice and helpful”
“The ownership is absolutely amazing!! I came to town to visit my grandparents and Eilee went above and beyond to provide the most amazing experience. I told her about how my grandparents went on their first date to pick strawberries and she personally wrote a sweet note and gave them some extra strawberries! So sweet and special! Thank you so much edible arrangements!”
“Shipment got lost (not their fault) and they were fantastic-they sent reprint out and was able to complete holiday gift package. Ray, Fibi and Jennifer did stand out job assisting me on a complicated issue. I would avoid their chatbot but once you get to the real people-amazing!!! I buy from again. Pricing was also on point.”
“Friendly helpful staff, price is great on end of year holiday card sale. Purchased several boxes of cards for next season. Selection for bulk cards was impressive.”
