“I love coming here!!! I’ve been a loyal customer of Julie since before COVID, and there’s a reason why! So many awesome gifts, if you’ve got a person with niche interests, Gather and Collect has the gift for them! Also love shopping the resale items, overall a great place to be!”
“Such an incredible place! I was having a pretty rough day and my boyfriend decided to bring me here to help cheer me up. I felt like I transported into a magical wonderland. It felt like a safe space. I can’t wait to visit again!”

581 Roosevelt Rd, Glen Ellyn“We currently don’t have any Ross stores in Michigan, so every time I visit Illinois, Florida, Virginia, Ohio and Texas I visit as many Ross stores as I can. This location is by far the neatest, most organized, aesthetically pleasing Ross, I have ever been in. I had to give the store manager (I believe her name is Jessica) kudos! It’s clear she cares about her store and pays attention to detail. Great job!!”
“This is one of the Ten Thousand Villages that has an annual handmade rug event, where you can come in and see the rugs. You might find handmade rugs someplace like The Dump in Lombard, however here you can be sure it's made by fairly-paid artisans and you don't need to wonder about child or slave labor. They often have interesting jewelry which is quite affordable; miscellaneous housewares; runners/napkins/placemats/aprons etc. and hand-knit hats/scarves/mittens. They even carry fair trade chocolate bars. It's a little bit like Pier 1 used to be but with fairly-paid artisans instead of mass merchandise. There's nothing here that you need, but there is probably something here that will make you smile. Staff is very pleasant and patient when you ask them to, say, show you every rug in a three-foot stack of carpets, and if you have something particular in mind, they'll help you find something similar.”
