He has a pure spirit and I am eager to go back when I need more items as I believe they are sourced correctly and authentic.Also a large variety of items and great prices.”
“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”
“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.”

“What a fun store! I stumbled upon it, and I’m glad I did. They have such a wide selection of items for all ages. I was really impressed with the game selection and the knowledge of the employees. Super kind and helpful too! I will definitely be back to shop for gifts in the future.”
“Very Nice, warm and pleasant greetings. Very attentive with a large variety of beautiful clothes, jewelry, Shea, and art pieces. Fabrics out of this world, and reasonably priced.”
“It's a cool space and concept with lots of small artists and makers under one permanent roof. It's kind of like a street fair, but always open. That said, like a street fair, most of the merchandise is a bit kitschy or generic. You're definitely not going to find much in the way of trendy or upscale pieces here. If you like art with sassy quotes or bold beaded jewelry, there's lots to find.”
“My new favorite store! Love all the stickers and I was able to make a custom button. The owner was super friendly and I appreciate her hospitality. Definitely recommend this spot if you’re in the area.”
“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.”

“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.”
“I love that I can pick up fair trade coffee right in Evanston at this great little shop. The gift selection is great, and the women who manage the store are really mission driven.”
“My shopping experience in this business was very pleasant! The owner did a wonderful job making me feel welcome, and provided great customer service. Gift wrapping skills are on point at this shop.”
“Today, I called needing to cancel my order and Anita answered the phone, she was an angel on the other line...patient, compassionate and beyond amazing. This will be the only edible I use in the 60630 zipcode. Anita is the reason there are good humans in the world.. she treated me like family and her kind words made my day as I attempt to be supportive for my person! I have also had an arrangement delivered before and it was wonderful.”
“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!”
“This is the best place to shop whether you are looking for a gift for a friend, your MIL, a teacher or even just something for yourself. Every time I stop in they have new products that are always so cute and clever. I have purchased candles, jewelry, hair clips and headbands, vases and glassware, unique cards and so many more products. You don’t want to miss this awesome little shop when visiting Logan Square!”
“I would caution against letting this store gift wrap when they’re busy. The ornament I bought was broken on the corner when the recipient opened the gift. Of course she was too gracious to let me take it back since she really loved the ornament and chose to hang it broken. Better to take it and wrap it properly yourself.Update: 5 stars! The ornament was replaced and sent to the receiver. And the communication was excellent. They even corrected my mistake when I transposed the address. Thanks for great customer service!”

“This store is very beautiful and with a wide variety of items for all seasons, I really recommend it 100% you can get gift cards, ornaments, stickers, candles among many other nice things to give a small gift or a big one, why not?”
“I love this local shop! They have the best gifts and the clothing is very comfortable. They use very soft tees and sweatshirts for their prints. Every time I stop in they have new offerings. The employees are super kind and helpful, too. I hope they remain in the neighborhood for many, many years to come!”
“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.”
“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!”
“What. "Mindful" Shopping Experience!Items include unique offerings such as a Swiss Cheese Plant, European Market Net Bag, a Bandana among other things for the individual shopper.”

“Super quaint shop that's got an extensive collection of religious/philosophical texts, Buddhist symbols, and Tibetan clothing/art. The prices are a little on the higher end (I spent $60 on my first visit for a book, two mala bracelets, and a print), but I didn't mind because it was supporting a local business. The shop owner escaped Tibet at age 7 and immigrated to the US after living for years in India. They've got a great knowledge of local Buddhist community gatherings/groups, as well as information about how you should plan your trip if you ever travel to Tibet. A must-visit in the NorthShore area for any of the sangha -- beginners or long-term practitioners-- as well as folks interested in learning about other cultures.”
“I just want to thank Tito's Flowers and Gifts for the bouquet I got my Family. They had a great selection of bouquet's and prices that Love your wallet... Not hurt it. ?☺️Thank you Tito's/Gracias a Tito's Bendicion”
“I've wanted to stop in Neighborly many many times, only to be thwarted by parking in Lincoln Square, or the times I've been able to find parking it has been early and the store wasn't open. Yay for Apple Fest, I was able to stop on by! They had a small booth at Apple Fest but I'm glad that we were still there when the store opened because as you may imagine, there was quite a bit more in store. They feature local artisans and lots of Chicago merchandise, from clothing to artwork. I bought baby's first hoodie here because it's super cute with the Chicago flag and everything! The staff were really friendly as well and happily they take digital wallets. Next time I have guests, this is the shop I'm going to suggest to them whether or not they think they want souvenirs, because they have a lot of great stuff here. I will definitely return as well because they have some lovely items that can work for home or as gifts. I especially would like to find a onesie or t-shirt for my daughter that has the Ork Posters (who own Neighborly) neighborhoods image on it.”
“If you ever need a unique gift - this is the place to go! They have such an eclectic array of cards, frames, art, books and a whole host of other fun items. What I also like is the local flavor of items and their season gifts. There are Chicago themed items that look vintage or are fun for any room in the house. Finally - the service here is excellent. Even when the store is packed (which is almost every time I go in), there is always someone to help and make great recommendations.”

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.

“Kim gave the best customer experience I've LITERALLY ever had in my frickin life, very helpful and patient with me and my girlfriend and helped us pick out a gift, a wonderful human being, she deserves all the accolades”

“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!”
