Gift Shops near Oak Brook, IL

“Fun little store. I decided to stop in and see what there was to see. I was very surprised at the quality and quantity of the Irish merchandise. Prices were fair but the selection was nice. We picked up a few things and I want to go back.”

“I recently visited this establishment the Elmhurst location and the service was excellent! The young lady Amy was there to help me every step of the way!! I came in unsure of what I wanted and she helped and guided me with buying the most beautiful arrangement. Everything was fresh, neat and beautiful as I needed it to be. My boyfriend absolutely loved it, he said it was amazing and so good and that’s all I wanted…mission accomplished!! If you’re ever in the area please stop in and ask for Amy she’s patient friendly and caring!!! Thank you so much for making this worthwhile will be back for future arrangements!!!”

“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!”

“Beautiful assortment of gift items (even if you yourself are the gift recipient). Everything is nicely arranged and fun to look at. Staff is very friendly and helpful. A joy to visit!”

“I would like to start my review by saying "HELLO DARLING." This was an interesting shop for me because I was unsure whether this shop would have anything for me. But, upon suggestions, I ventured to this shop. I was in this area previously but never knew that there was a hidden gem (shop) in the area. Where were you "The Darling Shop"? Upon entering the store, the store associate welcomed me by placing a white disco ball necklace around my neck (I felt like I was given a medal for partying hard lol) and handed me the goodie bag. She was sweet and patient. As a part of the event, the goodie bag had white disco ball necklace, pink disco ball drink tumblers, facial cleansing wipe, nail polish and some stickers. She explained to me a little history about the store. It blew me away when I knew that this store sells their goods from local area small businesses, people etc. The Darling shop is a stage for all these mini businesses where every product is made with minute detail. This was my first surprise. The store had party stuff, women's fashion, baby stuff was on the right side from the counter, home goods, sunglasses on the left side to the wall and many more. There was one section where they had various kinds of greeting cards. There were a variety of things in the store. My first look was that it was a store for women but as I went around for a bit then it was eye-catching when I saw they had a small section for men which was my second surprise. They had Men's accessories, clothing, and grooming. Upon looking, I bought a black pair of socks for myself. To sum up, the store was cool with such a variety of daily goods. I could not get to meet the owner NIKKI, but the store instantly gives you happy vibes with all the positive quotes around the store and for the stuff they are selling. I also checked out their website which was great, but the only recommendation is it would be nice if the font color is white (other color) on top and bottom of the website as it can be more visible. I would recommend my friends to explore this store. Lastly, for me, THE DARLING STORE = INSTANT HAPPINESS.”

“I’ve been to this shop twice now. First time was almost by accident and so glad I happened upon it. Second time, I had a friend visiting from Milwaukee. We drove from downtown Chicago to the shop (about 35 mins) and the shop was closed. We inquired in a neighboring shop and long story short, a wonderful neighboring retailer opened the shop until someone could get there to ring up our purchases. It is an amazing shop with great gifts (for others or yourself!) and the retailers in that little strip are second to none!! I will shop here continuously for all my special gifts!! Thanks to the owner and her amazing staff and the friendship of the neighboring shops.”

“I really love this brooch! Simply a magnificent brooch. Very good store! High-quality gifts and souvenirs! Thank you for the wonderful service.I got my package in the mail and everything was so beautiful. Your products are so high quality and unique and I love reading the history behind the making of each piece. The little ornament handmade from Tver is so adorable with such a cute smile and wonderful details. Thank you from Canada!”

“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!”

“This is the only place to purchase Lanzi Carnel nut chew candy. I called a bunch of different stores and nobody knew what I was talking about. I will definitely be back as the store has alot of random things wives live to buy. The person at this location (wish I asked for her name) extremely helpful and made my experience very nice. A gem to visit if your in Elmhurst!!!!”

“This is my first time at this location.I usually go to the Countryside store.Both stores are wonderful. I really have missed true gift shops & Card Frenzy fits my needs. I thought gift shops were gone forever! I'm so happy to have Card Frenzy!”

“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”

“This location is located excellent , they went above and beyond and I’m very grateful for the service I received I will definitely recommend. Thank you again

I love you Pea,

Randy”

“Great experience ordering here. I had the arrangement delivered and called the store beforehand and spoke to a very nice man that confirmed he can deliver in a certain window. Placed the order, spoke to him once more and confirmed the time window. The arrangement arrived on time and was so beautiful! Thank you so much!”

“Bachabee's store is super cute. It has so many greeting cards, paper goods, and the large selection of ribbons! I went in here a few days ago with another mom & fell in love with this store. Everyone in the store is extremely friendly and helpful. Love it! Will be back!”
