“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!”

“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!”
“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!”

“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.”
“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. ✌️✊️”
“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.”
“I was hesitant to order another edible arrangement based on previous experiences at other locations, but I'm so glad I gave this store a try! I live out of state, and Nikki went above and beyond to accommodate my request, and she delivered my surprise in time. She was pleasant and the process was efficient. I would definitely recommend this location!”

“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!”
“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.”
“The associate was so kind! We didn’t call in advance, and still managed to snag some goodies! She even offered chocolate strawberries that weren’t in the front to us.”

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Beautiful shop with a unique selection of jewelry, fragrances, plants, and gifts. The owners are so friendly and take great care in curating the items. We also tried some tea samples that were delicious! One of a kind shop! Also they host events!”
“I had a great experience with this Edible Arrangements location. They were extremely accommodating and worked with me on a specific delivery window for my anniversary, which I really appreciated. The fruit was fresh, beautifully arranged, and exactly what I was hoping for. The staff was professional, helpful, and easy to work with throughout the process. I’m very satisfied and would definitely recommend this location to others.”
“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.”
“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.”

“I loved Sara Jane's boutique in Evanston and was happy to know that she has a presence in Skokie now. The shop displays unique fair trade items from around the world and each piece has a story. It's a great place to find special gifts while supporting good causes. Today I bought a hand painted Christmas ornament and two glass coasters.”
“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.”
“This place is so fun! Cute gifts and I can always find the perfect card any occasion. Milestone birthdays, weddings, new babies, even divorces— they have something for everything and they are pretty funny too. Plus I can never resist picking up a mystery box when I’m there. Definitely worth stopping in!”
“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”

“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!”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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.”
“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!!!”
“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!”
