“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!”
“I always head to Unan when I need to buy a gift. I find beautiful, unique and high quality jewelry, soaps, lotions, trinkets and tons more for everyone. Prices are great! (Beware, though, I almost always end up buying something for myself, too. The earrings are kind of irresistible.)”
“I had a wonderful experience here! It's a great local shop with high-quality products. The team is incredibly professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend them and look forward to my next purchase!”

“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!”
“My first time at Bon Femmes was for an earring making workshop which ended with a chance to visit the shop afterwards. I cannot properly put into words the wonderful energy the shop owner radiates. Not only are they welcoming, funny, and kind but you can immediately tell how thoughtfully currated the shop is. From products to workshops, it is clear Bon Femmes is intentional and a place striving to build community. I cannot reccomend this shop (or the workshops!) enough.
The website is user friendly and easy to view the kind of inventory that is stocked in the shop but I just wanted to highlight that I was able to purchase a very fun cat themed magazine, washi tape, and some excellent quality fingernail stickers!”
“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.”
“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.”

“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!”
“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!”

“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!”
“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.”

“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 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.”
“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!”
“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.”

“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 shop is beautiful! They have a wonderful assortment of so many goods, including greeting cards, candles, magnets, art prints, journals, mugs, cups, and coasters. There are so many whimsical and colorful items to browse here. Perfect if you’re looking to purchase for someone else or brighten up your home.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 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!”
“Wow! Beautiful selection of fair trade goods from around the world. Excellent spot for buying gifts such as baskets, jewelry and home goods (they have a great selection for babies too- bibs, toys, etc). Highly recommend checking it out: the shop is full of beautiful things!”
“Stumbled into this place totally by accident, while walking around the Pickwick building. What a beautiful shop! Needless to say, I didn't walk out empty-handed! Great little trinkets.”
“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 live this store which has gifts and imported treasures from all around the world. Sourced through International Fair Trade. They also carry handmade items that are locally sourced. Michael is so nice to talk to thank you for your fantastic store. The place is charming in Lincoln Square close to all the shops and restaurants. The prices were reasonable and they also have some beautiful jewelry.”
“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!”

“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.”
