Anne was amazing to work with and made our dress choosing experience a day we will always remember! The other ladies working that day were lovely as well! Such a special place filled with so many unique Catholic items. We had a great time looking in the store and come home with some real treasures. We will definitely be back again!

Such a cute little store packed with so much faith-based merchandise. Among other things…read more They carry clothing, hats, books, jewelry, candles and so much more. They also offer engraving. The owners Kyle and Ashleigh Pratt opened this store in November of 2025. Ashleigh feels she was called to open this store so there would be a faith-based business locally for all to visit. Be sure to ask her about the story of her store. Their prices are decent.

Thom's is such a cool shop. While it doesn't have a huge footprint, it packs a lot of punch in the…read morespace it has. Thom is extremely nice and knowledgeable; heck, I'd go back just to chat with him. The selection was good; I found some back issues I had been struggling to find at other shops, and Thom bags and boards everything so the condition was top notch. He even took an extra 10% off the top on the comics I bought, which I so appreciated (standard discount on comics I believe, but do ask him)! Important to note - the shop is cash only and has been for a long time. There are ATMs at nearby shops, so don't let it deter you from stopping by. Great value, amazing service, and fantastic selection. Nothing more you could want in your local comic store. I look forward to shopping here again.

Whatsit & Doohickey is a new store in downtown Libertyville. I went there to shop for my son's…read morebirthday and found that they had a lot of toys that aren't carried by big box stores like Walmart and Toys R Us. The store was really inviting, the walls are colorful and there are neat lamps like lava lamps and plasma lamps throughout the store. There are toys all over the place and the manager encouraged us to play with the toys, which was great because I was able to see what my son liked before I bought anything. They had really cool toys some were new but some reminded me of the ones I had when I was little so I thought that was neat. . There were some different wind up toys, dolls for girls, and puppets but there were also science kits, and a few alternatives to Legos. They carried stuff that my husband and I would love to have as well, which means when I go there he can look at stuff and I can shop for the boys, a win-win situation. They have various desk toys (like bobbleheads) and "critical thinking" tools. The best of which was an item called Buckyballs, which I bought for my husband and he loves. I have since gone back in and brought my boys with me, they have played with silly hats, and the light up glasses which of course they begged me to buy. Its worth the trip to Libertyville just to shop there! I can't wait to go back in next time as their merchandise is always changing.

Me and my wife came here to shop for our niece and nephews to get an idea for Christmas even though that's about 5 months away but unfortunately you always have to think ahead to get yourself an idea. The staff here was very friendly and a store was clean and well organized throughout our entire visit. Sure, the store was a bit pricey but it featured a lot of great stuff that we thought was useful that our niece and nephew can utilize and play with for a couple of years. Overall, if you were in the area I definitely recommend to check the store!

The store across all areas is highly over priced and scams people who don't know better. Sell items…read moremarked way over value is not what this hobby is about. Owner always tries and communicates on our reviews because he is trying to pack peddle on his own bs talking about market value on a item that was just released and they only got a small amount. That should not give them the ability to mark up prices 50 percent or higher. The new MTG FF was priced as high as they could because on the day of release he checked some bs site and said that's not high enough. Charges unknowingly ignorant customers $500 before the can "buy "a pokemon ETB and then selling them 9 packs of his choosing. He over works his employees and pays them bs wages and really bad discounts. ALL AROUND BAD DUDE. AND STORE. NO OTHER STORE LIKE THIS STAY AWAY Also he post false reviews under the name Ano nymous. Dudes a joke

I don't know what happened to this store, but it used to be a decent board game store but now its…read moremain focus is Pokémon. I'm a board gamer and I used to go to the store because they used to have a decent selection. Now everything here is basically leftover stock from when it used to be a good game store. You also didn't have a problem if you needed to use the public bathroom inside the store back when I visited originally. Apparently, now they don't let anyone, other than employees, use the bathroom in the store which I find completely ridiculous and I'm sure is against some sort of commercial code. Even when I said that I was in a tough spot and I really needed to utilize it they still wouldn't allow anyone to use it. This place is a joke and shouldn't even be in business if they're gonna treat people that way. Definitely go somewhere else if you're looking for anything board game related. If Pokémon is your bag, I have no idea, but I still wouldn't spend any money here.
