“I loved Sara Jane's boutique in Evanston and was happy to know that she has a presence in Skokie now. The shop displays unique fair trade items from around the world and each piece has a story. It's a great place to find special gifts while supporting good causes. Today I bought a hand painted Christmas ornament and two glass coasters.”
“From beautiful prayer cards to ornate statues to nice religious gifts, Marytown Gift Shop has it all. It is a little hard to find, so make sure to ask the receptionist at the entrance if it is your first time. They have a wide variety of gifts and keepsakes that are all at pretty affordable prices. They even have a great website for convenience! Stop in or shop online, you won't be let down!”
“Super cool stuff! Great for gifts and unique home finds. The young lady working there is super knowledgable, helpful, and patient. The buyer/owner needs to be commended for some great, unique finds. A bit pricey, but considering the high rent district, I get it.”

“Loved this store!! Definitely will be my go to for ornaments. Walked in thinking I was going to buy one ended up with 4 and definitely wanted more. Prices are reasonable and she does a great job customizing them.! Will definitely be back soon”
“This whimsical store is an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, my preteen daughter was captivated, exclaiming she wanted to own 'the whole shop!' It's a place where you can happily lose yourself for hours, as every shelf and display is brimming with character and holds a charming new discovery. The local jazz band Quintessence was playing this particular night which was an extra treat :)”
“I grew up in Wilmette and naturally chose to go to Yellow Bird for my wedding invitations. Laura made the process seamless with her input, and it was so much more fun to pick out elements in person versus online. Prices were very comparable to everywhere else. Can’t say enough good things!”
“Every year when I come to Winnetka, I always make it a point to shop Beat Street at least once. The owner and other staff have been super helpful when I needed it and just let me wander until I made up my mind other times. The selection is awesome! I always find multiple things I MUST have.”

Plus the owner is so sweet and helpful and her staff is always friendly and go the extra mile. We are lucky to have them in Northbrook.”

Thank you for helping to make someone who is special feel special!”
“I see all the negative reviews and am surprised. I had a positive experience with this place. I placed my order at 9 AM and it was ready for pickup at the scheduled time. The fruit looked fresh. The only thing is that the location has moved so it is not at the address listed, it is in the plaza but around the corner from the spot Google Maps takes you to. I can assure you that this location is indeed open, you just might have to call if you can’t find it when you first pull in. They get five stars because it was straightforward and no issues, that’s all I can ask for.”
