“I think this is the cutest store in the entirety of Evanston. And, the owner Lena is so kind and talented! They just hosted a craft night and were so generous to share plenty of materials and snacks with us attendees. I had to hold myself back from purchasing too many things haha. Will definitely be coming by again soon!”
“Such a beautiful shop, came by to get a gift and the selection is huge! The owners are lovely and their complimentary gift wrapping is *chef’s kiss*! So glad I stopped in!”
“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.”

“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!”
“This African boutique is truly one of a kind! The customer service was warm, welcoming, and professional, and the products are absolutely beautiful. Everything feels unique, high-quality, and carefully selected. A wonderful place to shop for pieces that stand out with style, culture, and elegance.Jazi - Las Vegas”
“Great variety of original art, prints, hats, jewelry, and home goods all from local vendors! They have a lot of various items specific to Chicago neighborhoods and Chicago itself. Even better is that they were willing to ship the prints for not additional cost. My items came way faster than expected and were very well packaged. Would definitely go back to check out more art!”
“They have the most beautiful selection of items! I went in looking for a gift for my friends birthday and found the most perfect gift, plus a gift bag and birthday card so it was a one stop shop, which is wonderful for last minute people like me 😅”

“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.”
“Holy cow! I think I just stumbled across my favorite store in all of Chicago. I don't think the reviews fully capture how expansive this store is. It is so beautifully and tastefully decorated—very similar to an art fair where each vendor has a designated space to showcase their work. I can't sing this store's praises enough. Postcards and jewelry galore, tons of Chicago souvenirs, art for people of all ages that you won't find anywhere else. I'm adding this store to my list of places to take my friends who live outside of Chicago.
Even if you're not in the mood to shop, I guarantee you will inevitably find something here that strikes your fancy. Or, just come for the layout of the store alone—it's incredible!!! The photos I took don't even capture the half of it. Just do yourself a favor and stop by, you won't regret it!”
“Enjoyed stopping by and learning from this free museum. The staff was kind and I wanted to buy everything from the gift shop! So many one of a kind gifts made fairly.”
“An absolutely delightful store. There are so many unique gifts, and the card selection is just wonderful. What makes it even more special is how kind the owner is and how much she delights in what you choose to buy! Great energy and a great addition to our Evanston community.”

“My Pyrenees and I love our visits here!
The owner is always in good spirits and extremely welcoming allowing my dog to relax in his shop as I search for something special.
Tashi has a wide array of gifts and singing bowls that range in price. If you love incense, musical instruments, perfume oils and colorful ✨ tapestries and clothes you will find everything you need here!
It's definitely worth the visit. He even sells books about Buddhism and Tibetan prayer flags. We always have a good time here!”
“I had my second visit to Neighbor today and gosh, is this the best spot! I was able to get all of the gifts that I needed for upcoming events here, Including a custom framed print! Izzy Was incredibly kind and helpful through the process, and made sure to get me signed up for the rewards program for discounts in the future :-) They have the cutest stuff, I will be coming back!”
“I adore this little shop. I've bought multiple one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry from them over the past 14 years. The owners are always so kind and welcoming :) I only wish I lived closer so I could go more often.”
“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!”

“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!”
“This is my first-stop gift shop. Without exception, every gift from Greenleaf Gallery has been a hit with the recipients; from clothes, to eclectic household wares, to art. The customer service is also first rate. I highly recommend it!”

“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.”
“Love this store! Amazing staff that’s knowledgeable about the local Chicago craft scene. Very fair prices and great curation. Love the candle makers they carry.”
“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.”

“I love the variety of toys, books and educational items available !!!! I buy for multiple ages and your store makes it so easy !! And everyone is so helpful and friendly ?”
“Wide selection of jewelry and home gifts but very pricey. Be prepared to spend when you shop here! Staff is very friendly and knowledgable about all the designers/sellers.”
“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!”
“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.”

“This is a great and quite charming little toy shop. The owner is super nice and very helpful. The array of toys in this relatively small space is wonderful. It was a very nice find on our way through Winnetka. I can't say enough good things about Beat Street Toys!
Highly recommended.”
