“This place is amazing last Easter I they helped me put together some baskets for the kids and did an amazing job matching my price point that I was looking for with some amazing things. Looking to hit them up again for some Halloween gift ideas. Totally recommend this gem of a place.”

3115 Dundee Rd, Northbrook“Today was the first time I stopped into Parkway Presents. Took me a while to see what your store is all about & I’m so glad I finally visited! Your customer service and variety of children’s products is outstanding. So great to get back to old school values where customers are appreciated and greeted with a smile. The sales associates were so knowledgeable regarding all the fun creative in stock items. Their suggestions were right on for what I was looking for. I’ll definitely be back with my 7 yr old grandson who I’m sure will love choosing a special toy he’ll enjoy that doesn’t involve screen time!
Thanks

“If you are looking for something unique, this is the place to go!! The ladies there are the owners and are extremely helpful!! Some things may be a little pricey but worth it. Take a little drive and check this place out. You won't be sorry?!??”
“We have purchased Christmas lawn decorations for the past years. This year we had some difficulty in putting one together and as it turned out, we had broken it. It was not repairable. The owner replaced the decoration even though it was over a year old and the break was our fault. Sal has wonderful customer service presence.We love these wind-driven decorations. You can see them in front of his store. They hold up to Illinois winters very well. This year we didn't put our outdoor lights up. And these decorations show up well at night and during the day. Our grandchildren love them and so do our neighbors. I highly recommend The Back Porch for both quality of product and the service of the management.”
“Amazing place with plenty of option. And Andy is amazing with helping the right product. She gave all the info to make my selection easy. Best in Schaumburg area”
“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 hidden gem! Really unique gifts for others ... or yourself! Customer service is absolutely great, the owner is so wonderful! I will be buying again for myself and others.”

228 Robert Parker Coffin Rd, Long Grove“Paddy's is a multi-generation boutique that truly earns the boutique name. I started going as a teenager with my parents during Long Grove festivals, when the current owner's father still graced us with that smirk tucked at the corner of his mouth, watching everyone shopping like they were old friends he was waiting to catch up with. Now, in my 30s, it's still my favorite place to go for UK/Ireland treats. In recent years, they bought and converted a different section of the building for clothing, jewelry, and other gorgeous items that are hard to find in the US. Yes, the prices can seem a bit much, but for what they carry, the quality and how sometimes you can only find these items in equally (or even more expensive) stores in Chicago, I never bat an eye when paying at the till. The original owner's son can now be seen making his rounds, checking in with customers like an echo of his father, and relieving other employees at the cash register to help finish purchases. I hope they keep this place going as long as they can, because I'll keep coming.”
“A very pleasant experience overall at the Palatine location. Customer Service is great, the fruit is fresh, the presentation of the fruit arrangement was wonderful.”
“Everyone needs a cigar now and then, if so this is definitely a place in the western suburbs you should check out. Behind the very ordinary exterior resides a fantastic humidor. There selection is next to none and carries a range that should satisfy your smoking needs . Their prices are fair and much lower than most cigar stores in the area. As an example I will use la Gloria Cubana Series R # 7. This is my personal favorite. Most cigar stores charge up to $12.99 a stick. This store carries them at $8.99 a stick. If you buy them online in a box you can get that down to around $7, but you must pay shipping. So their pricing is good if you need a couple of cigars for golfing , card game or party. This is a friendly store and they also carry lighters, fuel and cigarettes. The store is several blocks west of York road on Irving Park road in Bensenville. Give them a try, you will be glad you did!”
“Very nice shopping experience. The owners are very helpful and personable. Can always find unique items, antiques and practical gifts for everyone. Located in a quaint Hallmark Christmas town.”
“I look forward to coming here when I go to the mall. The employees and manager Karelys are very helpful and friendly and I always walk out happy with my shopping and customer service experience!”
“Wonderful gem of a store. I have lived in the area for a few months and a friend just introduced me to Within Reach. The merchandise was perfect with everything from seasonal needs to everyday use! I picked up a few gifts for my bridal shower hostesses and the owner was friendly, helped me find the perfect piece for each one and wrapped them beautifully. I cannot wait to go back and find a new assortment of things for my home!!”
“I ordered a small heart keychain with a 3d image of my kids as a gift. It turned out absolutely awesome! I'm sure we'll do another 3D item for the family or for my kids. Maybe hang it on a backpack or somewhere else as it's kind of bulky for us who carry light. ** great customer service **I chatted online with them before the order and called them when Fedex had issues with the package. They know how to treat a customer. They remain calm, respectful, and can quickly resolve issues. That's my impression. I didn't have an issue with the item but I trust they would take care of me.Tip: make the picture big in the keychain as it shows up better imo. Or better yet... ask them for tips”
“I type this as I wait for an arrangement that was supposed to be ready by 1:30 and it is 1:45 now and lord only knows how much longer I’ll have to wait. I ordered ahead with plenty of time for my stuff to be ready on time. Absolutely ridiculous to keep someone waiting on something that should’ve been ready.UPDATE: This location has reached out to me privately to address the situation and has since compensated me for my inconvenience. I greatly appreciate the gesture and thought it was worth noting and adjusting my review. To clarify, they did not ask me to change or remove my review in return of their efforts. This is completely voluntary as I admire their dedication to make things right and am a firm believer in second chances.”
“Great location- I have to write and give a special shout out to Angelo. When Angelo is working, the store is running smoothly and guests are taken care of! Angelo us always hustling and moving fast to help employees and customers. He is always kind, pleasant and eager to help. It is rare to find someone with a strong work mentality and kind personality these days. Angelo is awesome and this is a great store to shop at!”
“A darling shop with everything you could want in very tasteful decor for every holiday. Stopped in again today as I often do and it is now lush with Christmas items that are so unique! High end but not high priced, if you haven't visited, you'll soon wonder why you waited so long!”
