“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

“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.”
“Christine was the sweetest, warmest person. Even with as much random stuff they have she knew exactly where the item was! The most amazing experience! So happy I stopped in!”

“super cute store and the employee working was so much fun to talk to. was great visiting from atlanta and was excited to stumble upon this place. she recommended us going to an oddities store right down the street when we were leaving, and that place was super cool too!”
“Very cool items because it reminds me of a much simpler time from me growing up 60's-70's. Need more places like this nowadays. Staff was A-1 and owners were way cool.I shall be back in the near future. May God watch over them with their journey in life. ✌️✊️”
“There are a lot of cute shops in Lincoln Square, but this one is my faaaaavorite. It’s a little further south on Lincoln (near the Davis). I love all the local art.”
“I love this store. I think curation is thoughtfully done. The prices vary so there’s “something for everyone.” You can tell they care about the details. It’s very neighborhood friendly too which is a nice touch. I hope more people continue to cross paths with this little store especially now that they have a bigger space! Very exciting. Also there’s a lot of women made things in the store- noticeably a women supporting women kind of business ? they also have some amenity items ive never seen in the US and am so grateful they carry.”
“Stopped into One Strange Bird for the first time today! The associate was really helpful and super friendly. I was impressed by the quality of the items and the prices. Will definitely be back. Thank you for the warm invite, Naomi!”
“I can always find the perfect gift - and the perfect card to go with it. I highly recommend my family and friends shop here when buying me gifts. lol I also appreciate how generous they are with supporting the community.”
“This shop is the coolest! They sell items all from local vendors. Jewelery, tons of great art, clothing, soaps, plants. Great spot to just wander and see cool stuff. The staff is always great, too.”
“Great local shop that features a variety of local artists and cute products - everything from cards to stickers to candles to fun souvenirs!
As a local Chicago artist who sells my products here, I can attest to how wonderful the owners are as well! I’ve been selling with them for years and appreciate not only how organized they are, but how well they treat the artists they carry!”
“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.”
“Christmas is here at Scratch N sniff. Visit and get all the sweet things for your family and friends. Christmas is around the corner and you don't want to be caught giftless. They have all you need for all ages, friends and family.”
“Finally went in after years of admiring stuff in the window. What a nice guy and a cool store—will definitely be back in the future. Beautiful and comfortable clothes that are so vibrant!”
“Highly recommend this place! Went looking for a souvenir and had a very pleasant experience, not your typical souvenir shop that everything looks cheaply made. And very reasonably priced too.
The owner was there, she told us about the artists behind the illustrations they have and she was very nice. They feature local artists and lots of them are actually from the neighborhood.
They wrapped our gift free of charge.”
“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!”
“They had great energy and gave lovely recommendations! The smoothies are made fresh and no sugar was added which I’m grateful for. Awesome smoothie place for the summer!”
“One of my absolute favorite shops in Logan Square! I stop in fairly frequently and love seeing the new things- the shop is always so well curated! The owner is so sweet and welcoming, doesn’t matter if it’s a busy or quiet day. Great shop for gifts or for finding a treat for yourself- my favorite sections to check are the hair accessories, pots and vases for plants, and the art prints”
“CarefulPeach is an absolute gem in downtown Oak Park! This cute store is a must-visit for anyone in the area. They have everything from French-inspired items to an impressive selection of wines. It has quickly become one of our favorite spots, especially for their fantastic holiday decorations. The selection is always unique and delightful, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. If you're looking for a charming and enjoyable shopping experience, CarefulPeach is the place to go!”
“Great collection of vintage pottery glassware prints lamps and various eclectic decorating options . Prices are extremely reasonable. If this store was on Armitage Ave I’m guessing the prices would be 50% higher.”
“I've used this location twice for deliveries for work. Both times they were extremely friendly and helpful. I needed to send a get well care package and it was during the valentines holiday. Despite the fact that I know they were completely swamped, they still made me feel welcome and they were happy to help once again. Excellent service! Thank you!”
“As far as souvenir shops go, this is about as good as it gets. Friendly staff and good design.
If you need gifts, I'd absolutely recommend this place.
My wife has some mugs from a decade ago, we went last weekend while visiting with our moms and I have to say I'm impressed.”
“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!”

“Today was our first visit and loved browsing all the items and deciding what we wanted. Very nice selection of books at a very reasonable price. Picked up some mala beads (very reasonably priced), can always use more incense:). A nice beginners sized sound bowl for a nice price as well. We will definitely be back!!! Tashi was very accommodating.”
“Loved this place! Wanted to get some Chicago stuff while visiting, for friends. They have so many nice stuff - pictures, planters, clothes, games and other gifts. Ended up buying a couple of Chicago posters, a tote bag, and a T-shirt. The unisex tshirts are tricky in size, just fyi.”
“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.”
“Alioto's is the finest example of a local boutique, run by an industry expert on fine tableware and home furnishings. This local gem is a source for referrals and services needed for antique restoration, silver and crystal pieces as well. The owner's customer service is unprecedented. Also, advice on wedding registry is outstanding.”

“Wissanee (one of the owners) was super kind and helpful. Such a bright and light human being. I went with my friend and her energy was just absolutely wonderful. She is so genuine and the store is beautiful as well. Will 100% be back at AMADARA soon. Truly worth it.”
