They just hosted a craft night and were so generous to share plenty of materials and snacks with us attendees. I had to hold myself back from purchasing too many things haha. Will definitely be coming by again soon!”
“I always head to Unan when I need to buy a gift. I find beautiful, unique and high quality jewelry, soaps, lotions, trinkets and tons more for everyone. Prices are great! (Beware, though, I almost always end up buying something for myself, too. The earrings are kind of irresistible.)”

There are also many specific Evanston and Chicago items, so this is a great place to search for personalized gifts!”
“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.”
“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.”
