“Today was the first time I stopped into Parkway Presents. Took me a while to see what your store is all about & I’m so glad I finally visited! Your customer service and variety of children’s products is outstanding. So great to get back to old school values where customers are appreciated and greeted with a smile. The sales associates were so knowledgeable regarding all the fun creative in stock items. Their suggestions were right on for what I was looking for. I’ll definitely be back with my 7 yr old grandson who I’m sure will love choosing a special toy he’ll enjoy that doesn’t involve screen time!
Thanks

“This place is amazing! I binge watched all 4 toy story movies with my 2yr old daughter in 2 days and the first thing we see is Buzz Lightyear as soon as we walked in. Instant purchase among other great items they have as well as pre-orders. Coolest owner as well, always a pleasure doing business.”
“Was the best Lego store I have ever been in. Check out their BAM station … it is SORTED by heads, accessories, etc. Very friendly staff. Excellent selection of Lego product - best variety I’ve seen.”
“I recently needed an adorable, stylish & quality baby gift and stepped into Babydreams. The staff were warm, friendly & extremely knowledgeable. They offered great gift ideas that fit within my budget and helped me find the PERFECT gift!!”
“Absolutely recommend 100%. I was tasked by my grandma to have a doll restrung. I was about to ship it to another company for much much more $$$. I didn’t know so I assumed that’s what it costs. I confirmed the address to ship it to and that company never responded. I reached out to GIGI’s. Emailed me back quickly. Very reasonable price. Told me how to ship it. Was returned fixed to me within about a week. Was very happy with it. The doll owner is very happy as well?.”

The staff here is extremely helpful & always goes out of their way to help find that perfect purchase. There is something for kids of all ages.
If you are looking a gift or something for your own child, I highly recommend shopping at The Wild Child, you will not be disappointed!”
“JD was immensely helpful and provided exceptional customer service. My wife and I went into the store to get a feel for different strollers, and we walked out with more knowledge than we anticipated!”
“I love that I can pick up fair trade coffee right in Evanston at this great little shop. The gift selection is great, and the women who manage the store are really mission driven.”
“My mother and I just stopped in for some early Christmas browsing for my 3 kiddo's. And, truly what a wonderful children's gift shop! We bought so many great thing's that you can't really appreciate unless you see them in person. I will definitely be back, and recommend this store for anyone seeking a perfect children's gift or baby shower present. Bonus points for the free gift wrap done by the wonderful sales staff!”
“Such a wonderful place for kids hair cuts! We had Ms. Jill today and she is the most kind and patient person I have ever met! She made sure our son was comfortable and happy the whole time and not a single tear was shed. Very happy with the service and will definitely be back! We even got a little certificate for our son's first hair cut”
“This is such an adorable shop with the cutest clothes, accessories, and toys for your 0-12 year old. They also have some amazing sales so be sure to follow them on social media. Also - it’s a no brainer if you need a gift for a child! I wish they carried some of their cute clothes in MY size…they are so trendy!!!! ❤️”
“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.”

“Wonderful selection of toys for both smaller and bigger kids. We live in Oak Park but frequent this store from time to time and pretty much always find something for our daughter. Friendly, helpful staff. Very patient and kind to the children. Love coming here!”
“Employees were super helpful in helping me pick out cards with my limited knowledge. The new location is a little tricky to find but they still had plenty of games and cards. Hoping they add some tables so we could try some games out in store.”
“Love the premise. In practice, not as effective as I would like.Mighty Nest purports to send you one item a month to help you change over to something more environmentally conscious. Unfortunately, in reality, the items they have are mostly junk that clutters your counters, cabinets, drawers, or what have you. Anything more useful ends up not available for your "surprise" item. You can choose the item you can receive, but those choices are vary limited, repetitive, and anything good ends up with an added premium price, usually exorbitant.What makes it worth 4 stars is the added available items that you can shop for. For example, I can get Mrs. Murphy's products that are hard to get and more expensive elsewhere, like limited, seasonal scents in bar soaps and dishwashing liquids, at good prices for far longer that at other sites. Might Nest does offer a few products I haven't seen elsewhere. they also allow you to add your preferred products as a subscription at no additional postage to your monthly package.One more benefit: you can change your shipping date at any time. Just remember to do this if you need to or if you don't care for the items on your list of choices.So, if you choose to sign up, just be aware of the caveats and check in regularly.”
“Rich's collectibles has a wide selection of many different collectibles and the owner is very friendly too. It's the perfect spot to find gifts for yourself or others at a great deal! Prices are very fair! Will be back again!”
