“Best customer service i’ve had in a long time. Their prices are great. Their employees are great. I’ve never had so much fun shopping for furniture at the Bolingbrook La-Z-Boy store and their employees. I didn’t even have this fun in Michigan or La-Z-Boy is headquartered. Great styling, not your boomers furniture”

“There are places you visit, and then there are places that feel like they were created just for your soul. The Gnome Colony is the latter. ✨ Walking through the doors feels like stepping into a tiny enchanted universe filled with whimsy, beauty, sparkle, and love. Every bauble, every beautiful scent, every little treasure seems to have its own bit of magic. And then there is Michael. What a beautiful human being. He has this extraordinary gift for making women feel special, beautiful, celebrated, and completely safe to simply be themselves. He doesn’t just sell beautiful things — he creates an experience. You leave feeling a little more feminine, a little more joyful, and somehow reminded that you deserve to be adorned and cherished. The Gnome Colony isn’t just a shop. It’s a little sanctuary of magic. And Michael is the fairy godfather of it all. 💕✨ If you’ve never been, go. Let yourself wander. Let yourself be enchanted. You may walk out with a beautiful bauble, but you’ll leave with something even better — a little more sparkle in your heart.”

“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.”

“My first experience with Scratch 'N Sniff was in 2005. We were visiting the area and were so excited to stumble on them. We bought gourmet dog biscuits to take back to our pups. We were so excited to bring something home for them from our trip. Fast forward over 20 years later and I feel as excited walking in there today as I did then. It's a really unique shop. While it's geared towards pets, it's part human gift shop and part pet luxury. There's truly something for everyone. Stop in. You won't regret it.”

“We were having some electrical work done recently and on a tight timeline and decided to update fixtures at the same time. I have zero design skills, so I came in looking for options to replace out dated fixtures but still match our older home. I was especially struggling to find a main overhead fixture for our living room. I met with Maureen and Carla several times, and they helped come up with a great solution to some challenging lighting issues in that room. They spent a ton of time with me to really get to know what we needed, look at pictures, etc. I absolutely love the new fixture, it was a great idea and I never would have thought of something like that on my own. Will definitely be back with any future lighting needs, as they carry a great variety that the big box stores don't and their design staff are wonderful.”
907 Burlington Avenue, Western Springs IL 60558
“I had some free time today between sessions so I walked around downtown Western Springs and walked into this adorable little shot. It was curated with some of the most adorable things very carefully selected items along with some vintage pieces. Everyone that worked there was especially nice and Linda even offered to wrap what I purchased up for me since it was a gift for a friend. I will definitely go back here. We need more places like this!! Def worth the trip!!”
