“This is my goto for Chicago gear. I’ve taken my fam every time they visit and I’ll go here to get things to send back to fam as well. My favorite is the Chicago flag tee with the doggo paw prints as a dog lover, a pup, and repping the Chicago flag.”
“I had so much fun working with Lena to bring some of my ideas for Christmas gifts to life. I appreciate her creativity and how she inspires and supports it in others via her fairy door project and selling items made by local young entrepreneurs in her shop.”
“Stumble & Relish is an absolute gem of a shop. My go-to every single time I need a special gift. They always have just the right thing. And, of course, I also always manage to find something that just needs to come home with me. Jaime, the owner, is amazing, as is everyone on staff. Beyond the shop, they do so much for Evanston. We are super grateful to have them here and love being able to support such a great shop - and owner.”
“How can you not smile when you enter into this adorable boutique?! The sweet ladies there are so incredibly kind - to customers big and small! :) Brought my littles in on a momma and me trip and they were treated with nothing but kindness and love!So thankful for this little pocket of sunshine. It made my Saturday!”
“Wonderful store filled with eclectic items that are fun and a little "sassy" We always find a great gift every time we go in. The people behind the counter are friendly and helpful. Definitely a go-to spot for gifts (or something to treat yourself)”
“Visiting Style Shack is like visiting family. Everyone is happy to see you and there is always new inventory to drool over. It is my go-to for presents and hostess gifts. The wrapping is always gorgeous and makes even cheaper items look expensive”
“By far the cutest smoke shop I’ve ever been too. Lots of pretty pipes and accessories. But the knowledge and helpfulness of the owner really sets this place apart. Highly recommend.”
“I love this little boutique store filled with local art in all types of mediums. Great gift ideas and some fantastic Chicago specific decor finds. Great store in my favorite neighborhood in the city.”

“I went in because I saw they were open later. I didn’t have anything in mind that I was shopping for but was able to find some things for my sister in law. They have a lot of holiday kitchen items, purses, ladies winter wear, Chicago themed gifts, etc. I want to go back and do some shopping for myself!”
“The kindest owner and most beautiful cards and items. I come to Evanston specifically to come to this shop! Mini cards, kitras glass items, and really lovely lawn ceramics.”
“I’ve started Christmas shopping here since 2020 when I decided I wanted to support a small business. Everyone loves the gifts and many support important causes in Chicago as well. When ordering online everything comes beautifully wrapped and they took the time to write a note for me when I couldn’t be home for the holidays!”

“Best shop to find local artisan products. I bought two of the loveliest earrings from this store. The owner is very knowledgeable about each of the artisans. She explains the person behind their work. If you are keen to support local talents. This place is definitely a must visit in Chicago.”

“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!”
“Super cool stuff! Great for gifts and unique home finds. The young lady working there is super knowledgable, helpful, and patient. The buyer/owner needs to be commended for some great, unique finds. A bit pricey, but considering the high rent district, I get it.”
“I was kind of going between 4 and 5 stars, but thought to bump it up to a 5 because its a small business and exactly the kind of store you want in your community. The basic premise is that its a store that showcases Chicago based items and Chicago based companies. I really like it because its a great place to buy a unique gift for somebody. I would say most of the items lean towards "home goods", but if you ever need something for a housewarming party or need that last minute birthday gift, this place has you covered. If there is any "downside" is that their items tend to be a little bit on the expensive side. That really shouldn't be surprising as it is a small business supporting other small businesses. I also wish they had wider hours, but the foot traffic might not call for it. If you are looking for a cool Chicago gift for yourself or somebody else, I would highly recommend checking this place out! They are very nice and have some really good finds!”
“Cool and funky place to shop in. I came in here to buy Paperblanks these are Art Deco Designs on a small or medium or large Journals that are blank inside or grids to write on. I bought a few funny buttons for my purse or on my jackets. It's a cool place to find unique items. Nice friendly folks.”
“the atmosphere is very soothing and pleasant. Additionally, the staff is friendly and easy to approach. If you need assistance or help, you can be certain that they will come to you and help you as soon as possible. It is without a doubt highly recommended. This is the kind of place that all of you will absolutely adore.”

“This is a great place to go with the whole family! Fabulous attention to accessibility and education throughout this huge garden.My husband and I stopped off here on our way out of Chicago to up north and it proved to be an excellent place to stretch our legs and take in refreshing air! There's a beautiful model train area that features all of these model trains and "road side attractions" of the United States which was so much fun to look at. There weee art exhibits throughout the gardens and benches and even a library you could go and look up information. We could have spent days here!With your admission, you get a trolly ride around most of the garden -- you get to see islands and meadows and research labs and you can get off at certain points and walk back if you'd like or simply ride the trolley and enjoy the day. My husband and I had my Service Dog in Training (SDiT) with me and the trolley people were exceptionally professional and polite.If we lived closer, this would absolutely be someplace I'd have a membership to. Very professional, beautiful, exceptional place I could see bringing lunch or work or meditating in a little corner!”
