“My favorite place to shop! I moved away but always stop in for my old favorites like candles and perfume. I find something new and different everytime as well. The coolest jewelery and trinkets galore. Absolute best place to find a gift.”
“I think this is the cutest store in the entirety of Evanston. And, the owner Lena is so kind and talented! 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!”

“fantastic store!! one of my new favorites!
a great selection of stones, crystals, jewelry, incense supplies, garments, and a bunch of related items, including singing bowls! all of which are actually very reasonably priced.
the store owner was so nice and helpful, he taught me how to play the bowls, which I never knew until now.
lovely lovely store, highest recommendations for anyone and everyone to check out!”
“This African boutique is truly one of a kind! The customer service was warm, welcoming, and professional, and the products are absolutely beautiful. Everything feels unique, high-quality, and carefully selected. A wonderful place to shop for pieces that stand out with style, culture, and elegance.Jazi - Las Vegas”
“They have their own brand of affordable organic CBD oil with delish terpenes added and I love it. It's got a citrus vibe going. They also have cool CBD things like bath bombs, balms etc.
The owner is nice and helpful too.
Cute clean store to shop for various smoking things and bedroom things if that's your thing. They offer a THCa preroll menu too.”

“Flying High is one of those businesses that keeps a neighborhood special. The people behind it genuinely care — about their customers, their community, and creating a place that feels welcoming and personal.
They’ve built something really unique, and you can feel the heart behind it when you walk in. Great people, thoughtful selection, and always worth stopping in.”
“I had a wonderful experience here! It's a great local shop with high-quality products. The team is incredibly professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend them and look forward to my next purchase!”

“Adorable spot in Evanston for a variety of different crafts and souvenirs. This shop has just about anything you could think of from home goods to cards, jewelry, stickers, ornaments, and more! There are also many specific Evanston and Chicago items, so this is a great place to search for personalized gifts!”
“They have the most beautiful selection of items! I went in looking for a gift for my friends birthday and found the most perfect gift, plus a gift bag and birthday card so it was a one stop shop, which is wonderful for last minute people like me 😅”
“Holy cow! I think I just stumbled across my favorite store in all of Chicago. I don't think the reviews fully capture how expansive this store is. It is so beautifully and tastefully decorated—very similar to an art fair where each vendor has a designated space to showcase their work. I can't sing this store's praises enough. Postcards and jewelry galore, tons of Chicago souvenirs, art for people of all ages that you won't find anywhere else. I'm adding this store to my list of places to take my friends who live outside of Chicago.
Even if you're not in the mood to shop, I guarantee you will inevitably find something here that strikes your fancy. Or, just come for the layout of the store alone—it's incredible!!! The photos I took don't even capture the half of it. Just do yourself a favor and stop by, you won't regret it!”
“Great experience! They were super helpful in recommending plants that would do well with the lighting in my home and they had so many pet friendly options that were clearly labeled. Will absolutely be back!”
“This store was the highlight of my trip! It has an amazing collection of antique jewelry, incense, and perfumes, and the two owners are incredibly sweet and fun to talk to.
I was feeling a bit blue when I stumbled upon this shop, and the entire experience completely turned my day around. The store is designed like a treasure hunt, and every little corner holds a surprise, a handmade mug, a designer perfume, or a nice piece of jewelry. And can I say, this is one of the best interior designs I have ever seen in an antique shop.
I was treated to delicious tea and sushi during my visit, and we started talking about the stories behind the store and our lives. It’s always fun to meet other interesting souls while traveling.
I truly hope these wonderful owners do well in their business journey. Stores with so much heart, taste, and character deserve to thrive in this 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. ✌️✊️”
“One strange bird is my FAVORITE jewelry store and boutique ever!! I live for street fest jewelry and the 2 fests I’ve been at this summer, I’ve bought earrings both times from here because I couldn’t resist. They’re so unique and beautiful and also super reasonably priced !!! Walk don’t run to One Strange Bird in Wicker!! Or find them at your local street fest this summer !!!”
“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!”

“Next time you're late for a party and going empty handed, this is an essential one stop shop for a card, a cute gift, and matching wrapping to tie it all together.
Julie is a ray of sunlight and knows her stock like the back of her hand! A true neighborhood gem, and has cemented itself as the first place I go when I need earrings or a candle, a card for anyone & everything, or just a little serotonin boost :)”
“A truly magical place to shop for custom gifts and trophies. Impeccable craftsmanship. They also do a great job with crystal repairs. I've had antique crystal decanters and coupe glasses repaired here and they did a wonderful job.”
“This is one of Chicago’s hidden treasures! We’ve ordered custom tees from Rep Chi numerous times through the years and they never disappoint. They also offer many products that are locally sourced from candles to scented oils, you name it.
Plus, Marian is a wonderful human being and always a joy to work with. I can’t recommend them enough.”
“Such a cool store!! I believe it is new and it’s exciting to see a new witchy vibes store in the area! They have a wide range of things from hoodies, to art, to oils, to books! I saw they even have a book club you can join and I think perhaps a tea party area too! The furniture inside is immaculate and makes me jealous, including the wallpaper! The owner even let me push a button on the antique cash register and it brought me such joy. I’m so excited to use the spices I bought, I know it’s going to elevate the flavor and add a magical twist.”
“Quality handmade goods that make beautiful and thoughtful gifts. An awesome place to go for cards, candles, baby gifts and more.
They had a beautiful collection of Chicago art posters too.”
“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.”

“My Pyrenees and I love our visits here!
The owner is always in good spirits and extremely welcoming allowing my dog to relax in his shop as I search for something special.
Tashi has a wide array of gifts and singing bowls that range in price. If you love incense, musical instruments, perfume oils and colorful ✨ tapestries and clothes you will find everything you need here!
It's definitely worth the visit. He even sells books about Buddhism and Tibetan prayer flags. We always have a good time here!”
“Great place, and great customer service.. staff here are so friendly...I always call before going, and they are quick to make my order.. store is always clean aside from them always being busy...”
“Soo cute! Love this store! Wonderful selection of home decor, stationery/cards, fun things to make you life a little more enjoyable. Everything from cute to trashy to sweet and soft. Great staff too!”
“This place is so cool it looks like it belongs on Diagon Alley. They have every gift you could possibly think of and I have to prevent myself from spending hours here any time I go”
“I live this store which has gifts and imported treasures from all around the world. Sourced through International Fair Trade. They also carry handmade items that are locally sourced. Michael is so nice to talk to thank you for your fantastic store. The place is charming in Lincoln Square close to all the shops and restaurants. The prices were reasonable and they also have some beautiful jewelry.”

“Raw Edge is a lovely little artisan boutique in Lincoln Square. They sell a bit of everything and it’s a great shop to bop into when you’re looking for a gift for friends, colleagues, family, or yourself! They have original art, prints, cards, jewelry, sweaters, children’s clothes, soaps, candles, ornaments, and more. There are over 65 makers represented in the shop and it’s connected to a airplane-themed coffee shop that has pastries and coffee, along with ample seating.
*Note that I’m a bit biased because they do sell some of my artwork!”
“I learned about Janice and her work via a Block Club Chicago podcast, and I reached out to request custom painted ornaments as a holiday gift. The whole experience was excellent from start to finish - Janice's communication was great and and the ornaments turned out fantastic, even better than I had hoped. The recipient was thrilled! Really happy to have found AponteArt and Janice's amazing artistry.”
