“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!”
“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 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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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. ✌️✊️”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Loved this store!! Definitely will be my go to for ornaments. Walked in thinking I was going to buy one ended up with 4 and definitely wanted more. Prices are reasonable and she does a great job customizing them.! Will definitely be back soon”

“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.”
“One of my favorite shops in all of Chicagoland. I always find something special and unique. The owner has special ordered items for me and staff has gone out of their way to help me find the perfect gift.”
“A gift shop like no other! If you are not able to find the perfect item for a birthday, wedding, anniversary, seasonal holiday and home decor, well it’s not out there. Only thing better than their inventory is their good old fashion 5 star service.
You must stop in and see this gem of a shopping experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I grew up in Wilmette and naturally chose to go to Yellow Bird for my wedding invitations. Laura made the process seamless with her input, and it was so much more fun to pick out elements in person versus online. Prices were very comparable to everywhere else. Can’t say enough good things!”
“Happened upon while driving on Roosevelt.....Love the interesting finds and the fact they support a Cat Rescue!! They also have some Incense and Sage sticks along with some cool vintage threads! One of my finds were these 3 tiny Deer figurines! Purrrfect for my Fairy terrarium!!!”
“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.”
“Stumbled into this place totally by accident, while walking around the Pickwick building. What a beautiful shop! Needless to say, I didn't walk out empty-handed! Great little trinkets.”
“Everyone needs a cigar now and then, if so this is definitely a place in the western suburbs you should check out. Behind the very ordinary exterior resides a fantastic humidor. There selection is next to none and carries a range that should satisfy your smoking needs . Their prices are fair and much lower than most cigar stores in the area. As an example I will use la Gloria Cubana Series R # 7. This is my personal favorite. Most cigar stores charge up to $12.99 a stick. This store carries them at $8.99 a stick. If you buy them online in a box you can get that down to around $7, but you must pay shipping. So their pricing is good if you need a couple of cigars for golfing , card game or party. This is a friendly store and they also carry lighters, fuel and cigarettes. The store is several blocks west of York road on Irving Park road in Bensenville. Give them a try, you will be glad you did!”
“Mannn Excellent store. The people who serve are very friendly.God bless those who buy in that store. To those who serve.Many guate products only have to be ready because the products are taken away quickly. I like the nugget. With fruit”

“This is the only place to purchase Lanzi Carnel nut chew candy. I called a bunch of different stores and nobody knew what I was talking about. I will definitely be back as the store has alot of random things wives live to buy. The person at this location (wish I asked for her name) extremely helpful and made my experience very nice. A gem to visit if your in Elmhurst!!!!”
“I ordered a small heart keychain with a 3d image of my kids as a gift. It turned out absolutely awesome! I'm sure we'll do another 3D item for the family or for my kids. Maybe hang it on a backpack or somewhere else as it's kind of bulky for us who carry light. ** great customer service **I chatted online with them before the order and called them when Fedex had issues with the package. They know how to treat a customer. They remain calm, respectful, and can quickly resolve issues. That's my impression. I didn't have an issue with the item but I trust they would take care of me.Tip: make the picture big in the keychain as it shows up better imo. Or better yet... ask them for tips”
“This is such an organized Box Lunch! I really appreciated the cleanliness and the large wall of collectibles. I found what I was looking for and happy they had it in stock! The cashier was super nice and shared my enthusiasm for the fandom. Great spot!”
