“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.”
“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. ✌️✊️”
“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!”
“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.”
“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...”
“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.”
“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!”
“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 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 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!”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Bought the most beautiful hand-painted watercolor flower cards from here. We used them for thank you cards and EVERY single person reached out saying how much they loved the art/card combo! Highly recommend.”
“This whimsical store is an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, my preteen daughter was captivated, exclaiming she wanted to own 'the whole shop!' It's a place where you can happily lose yourself for hours, as every shelf and display is brimming with character and holds a charming new discovery. The local jazz band Quintessence was playing this particular night which was an extra treat :)”
“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.”
“A gorgeous store that has snacks from my childhood. The employees are always kind, and i loved bastille day celebrations. I also frequently purchase gifts for family members here.”
“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!”
“Oh, I spent so much time in the store. It’s a treasure trove of all things Italian! I chatted with Daniela, the Salesperson and Gino, the owner. Grazie Mille! You have to go in and check it out.”
“I have been coming here for years. The store is such a great resource for all things gifts and something for yourself at the same time. I never leave empty handed. Plus the owner is so sweet and helpful and her staff is always friendly and go the extra mile. We are lucky to have them in Northbrook.”
“I was able to get quite a few gifts in one stop, great variety of things. Ranging from baby gifts, toddlers, kids...I got teenager gifts, sisters, husband, friends, hostess. Yes, a productive trip!”

“I wanted to get some souvenirs and this was the only place that had shirts that said Chicago. Surprised the big stores like Target and Walmart didn't have any. Great prices this is the place to go!”
“Stocked up on women's underwear. The organic cotton thongs are awesome. My hubby likes the men's tees too. Great customer service and great shipping options on top of great products = great purchases! Strongly recommend.”
“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!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a wonderful little hidden gem! My mother was having surgery at this hospital, and while I was waiting, someone across the street mentioned that people actually come just to shop at this gift shop — not even because they’re visiting the hospital. Now I understand why!
They have such a wide and unique selection of items — it’s truly unlike any hospital gift shop I’ve ever seen. Honestly, calling it a “hospital gift shop” almost feels like an understatement; it’s more like a charming boutique. The prices were very reasonable, and the woman running the shop was so kind, friendly, and helpful.
I would absolutely come back again even if I didn’t have an appointment at the hospital. 10/10 recommend!”
“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”
“Came here to pick up something nice and a slightly upgraded gift for my girlfriend's birthday. Emily was very friendly & her (& her mom's) hand picked selections of candles, jewelries, lip balms... everything was super fun to check out! Highly recommend! Support local business!”
