“In the words of my niece, “when you see that bag (with Komoda label), you know it’s going to be good.”
This is our go-to for gifts for family and close friends. Sherry, the owner, is warm and welcoming. Highly recommended!”
“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.)”
“I love the selection at this store - really unique and interesting! I also really appreciate the excellent service and help finding great gifts! I have gone there several times and asked for age appropriate suggestions-the gifts are always a huge hit!”
“There are a lot of cute shops in Lincoln Square, but this one is my faaaaavorite. It’s a little further south on Lincoln (near the Davis). I love all the local art.”
“super cute store and the employee working was so much fun to talk to. was great visiting from atlanta and was excited to stumble upon this place. she recommended us going to an oddities store right down the street when we were leaving, and that place was super cool too!”
“This is our second year back with Emily at One Strange Bird booking a Galentine’s day linocut card making class. Our group had SUCH a fun time hanging out making our custom cards. Emily is great with providing instructions and one on one help to ensure everyone is confident in their carving and printing skills. We were all so happy with our final prints! Simba the cutest dog was also a happy helper hanging out with us during our class. We will be back next year for round 3! Can’t recommend this shop and workshop enough!”
“This shop is the coolest! They sell items all from local vendors. Jewelery, tons of great art, clothing, soaps, plants. Great spot to just wander and see cool stuff. The staff is always great, too.”
“Highly recommend this place! Went looking for a souvenir and had a very pleasant experience, not your typical souvenir shop that everything looks cheaply made. And very reasonably priced too.
The owner was there, she told us about the artists behind the illustrations they have and she was very nice. They feature local artists and lots of them are actually from the neighborhood.
They wrapped our gift free of charge.”
“The cutest shop and the sweetest owner. If you want to pick up some cat themed stuff like keychains or stickers or need gift inspo, please check this place out! Will definitely come back to check out more items!”
“This is such a fun store!! Every single surface (excluding the walking path on the floor but including the ceiling) is covered in fun things to buy! They have rugs, cookware, art, jewelry, hats, pins, lotion, stickers, and more! It was so entertaining to take my time and walk through what used to be an old house and find so many trinkets to take home. The rugs really caught my eye! They have fair prices for the pieces they sell and unique items for everyone. I could be in there all day and still want more time to explore! It’s next to lots of food places too so you can refuel for your adventure here too. Check it out!!”

“This store is very beautiful and with a wide variety of items for all seasons, I really recommend it 100% you can get gift cards, ornaments, stickers, candles among many other nice things to give a small gift or a big one, why not?”
“My new favorite store! Love all the stickers and I was able to make a custom button. The owner was super friendly and I appreciate her hospitality. Definitely recommend this spot if you’re in the area.”
“Jenny & Kevin were a delight to work with and they helped us with the design and made sure we got the award on time. They had very nice pieces to choose from and we would definitely recommend and use them again in the future.”
“My favorite smoke shop! The owner is the best. She's super sweet and very helpful. I go here for all my smoke stuff. Very unique and beautiful selection of pipes and accessories. Great place for gifts.”
“I can always find the perfect gift - and the perfect card to go with it. I highly recommend my family and friends shop here when buying me gifts. lol I also appreciate how generous they are with supporting the community.”
“Very cool items because it reminds me of a much simpler time from me growing up 60's-70's. Need more places like this nowadays. Staff was A-1 and owners were way cool.I shall be back in the near future. May God watch over them with their journey in life. ✌️✊️”
“A very cute, locally owned, and affordable floral shop! The owners are very kind and always greet me as I walk in, asking me if I need help with anything. They also sell gifting supplies like balloons, ribbons, and other party favors which is great especially during Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and birthdays. I highly recommend giving this place a visit!”
“They had great energy and gave lovely recommendations! The smoothies are made fresh and no sugar was added which I’m grateful for. Awesome smoothie place for the summer!”
“This is a really vibey art gallery, store, and community space. People who live on the Blue Line can and should come to their shows. Seeing the results of local artists' practice is ? Obviously, you can buy your favorites.
The wares in the store are really good gifts to yourself or to anyone who has an artistic soul. Last time I was there, there were eye-catching denim jackets with painted backs and dresses in really interesting prints. People should just hang out there.”
“This store of edible arrangements was wonderful! The driver patiently waited for me to come down and pick up my beautiful fruit tray. The fruit was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend this store!”
“Loved this place! Wanted to get some Chicago stuff while visiting, for friends. They have so many nice stuff - pictures, planters, clothes, games and other gifts. Ended up buying a couple of Chicago posters, a tote bag, and a T-shirt. The unisex tshirts are tricky in size, just fyi.”
“I would caution against letting this store gift wrap when they’re busy. The ornament I bought was broken on the corner when the recipient opened the gift. Of course she was too gracious to let me take it back since she really loved the ornament and chose to hang it broken. Better to take it and wrap it properly yourself.Update: 5 stars! The ornament was replaced and sent to the receiver. And the communication was excellent. They even corrected my mistake when I transposed the address. Thanks for great customer service!”
“Great local shop that features a variety of local artists and cute products - everything from cards to stickers to candles to fun souvenirs!
As a local Chicago artist who sells my products here, I can attest to how wonderful the owners are as well! I’ve been selling with them for years and appreciate not only how organized they are, but how well they treat the artists they carry!”
“I've used this location twice for deliveries for work. Both times they were extremely friendly and helpful. I needed to send a get well care package and it was during the valentines holiday. Despite the fact that I know they were completely swamped, they still made me feel welcome and they were happy to help once again. Excellent service! Thank you!”
“Christmas is here at Scratch N sniff. Visit and get all the sweet things for your family and friends. Christmas is around the corner and you don't want to be caught giftless. They have all you need for all ages, friends and family.”
“Tashi is such a nice person, he is so helpful, kind and considerate. The store has a wonderful calm feeling when you enter. There is a great variety of items from Nepal, plus other local areas as well. Thank you Tashi for keeping the doors open.”
“Happy Cabbage is my go to for gifting! Kate has impeccable taste and puts together currated personal gifts for my clients every time. My clients rave about their Happy Cabbage baskets and I am so lucky to have found this beautiful gift boutique in Bucktown!”
“An absolutely delightful store. There are so many unique gifts, and the card selection is just wonderful. What makes it even more special is how kind the owner is and how much she delights in what you choose to buy! Great energy and a great addition to our Evanston community.”
“it was my first time here today! it was super pretty and welcoming i loved everything i bought and very affordable as well. Will be coming here more often now ? the owner is super sweet as well!”
