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?!??”
“One of my favorite Catholic gift shops in America. I always visit when I'm in the area and I don't even live in the State. God bless the Franciscans and Marytown.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”

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.”
“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.”

1957 Cherry Ln, Northbrook“I have been coming here for years. The store is such a great resource for all things gifts and something for yourself at the same time. I never leave empty handed. Plus the owner is so sweet and helpful and her staff is always friendly and go the extra mile. We are lucky to have them in Northbrook.”
“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.”
“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 walked in and got two arrangements for Mother’s Day. The store manager helped me select the best products for my family members! Everyone was very happy with their arrangements! I will definitely use this store in the future!”
“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!”
“For my mothers birthday was my first time ordering and I had made a mistake when ordering online. But Sarah answered the phone and was no nice in walking me through this and she even made it to my mother's job on time before she left. Thank you so much Sarah for you excellent job and friendliness”
“Good store if you like Kpop, anime, or Sanrio. They had a LOONA album which can be hard to come by these days. We also saw the Yves album for the first time. We felt the Kpop merch was a bit overpriced but we still made a few purchases! Would definitely return based on the selection available.”
