I'm glad she talked me into it because their store has some fantastic stuff. I loved walking around and browsing... the store is really big. I thought it was just the first floor but there's an entire second floor that's even larger. That second floor has a ton of children's stuff; books, toys, stuffed animals, art, and so on. There are also lots of books for adults, and cards, and jewelry, and t-shirts, and so many things. I bought several books for my little one, and there are some toys I think she'd like that I may pick up another time and some really cute stuffed animals as well. I'm not sure if the woman that greeted us was a docent or a paid staff member but she was so welcoming. She's the one who pointed us to the second floor that we didn't know existed and let us know they had kid stuff. Then she welcomed us back when we got downstairs, and told us about the MCA kids days and said she couldn't wait to see us again.

No returns allowed! Buyers beware…read more Went to return a few overpriced souvenirs and the lady said no returns, it says it on the receipt. Seriously?? Nowhere else in the store does it tell you no returns until you've actually bought the item and then you can see it on the receipt. So helpful... Also they have signs for buying multiple shirts and getting a discount but doesn't specify which shirts they actually applies to until you've get to the counter. Overpriced and deceiving. No thanks!

The store is much bigger than I expected, with plenty of Harry Potter merchandise, a few interactive stations, and a café offering Butterbeer and other themed treats. It was definitely crowded, but that's to be expected for such a popular attraction. My family really enjoyed browsing the store, and of course I couldn't leave without taking home some bottled Butterbeer for my kids. If you're a Harry Potter fan, it's a fun stop and worth checking out while you're in Chicago.

The decor is fantastic with the walls covered with all sorts of collectibles from The Goblet of Fire. Be sure to bring your credit cards because the stuff is expensive. If you get hungry, there is the one of a kind ButterBeer café with desserts like ice cream, muffins, cookies and popcorn. The draft Butterbeer comes in a mug and is $13.50. A bottle is $7.00. You get to keep the mug as a souvenir. There is a cafe area with tables and chairs to enjoy a break. The store features a gender-neutral restroom available for customers. We enjoyed our visit here!

Upon a recent visit to Chicago with my friends, we were trying to find a nice souvenir shop near…read moreour hotel with a great selection for good prices. Literally just around the corner from our hotel on Michigan Avenue was the I Love Chicago store. From the moment we walked into the store, we were quite busy looking at each corner of the store trying to find the perfect gifts. We found a number of cute snow globes on top of the Bean of all different sizes. Further back in the store were some clearance items where there were some great magnets. There were sports team merchandise, Chicago-themed candies, plenty of shirts, hats, and other clothing, and so much more. When you go to their website (https://lovefromcompanies.com/collections/chicago), you will receive a pop-up coupon for $10 off orders of $50 or more. There was also a sign up link by the counter where you could get 10% off by signing up. While there are more than three locations in Chicago and around the country, there are only three I Love Chicago locations including the one on Michigan Avenue, which I visited. The mission statement at Love From USA is to provide an extraordinary travel convenience and gift shopping experience, capturing lasting memories reflective of the local culture and lifestyle of the communities they serve. They support locally made products from small businesses across their markets. Love from USA was founded in 1979 as a paperweight kiosk and has grown tremendously since then. Now, they have 24 stores across the country. Chicago was the second place that they had stores. They also have a commitment to give back and take part in the Art For Good Project, Red Heart Project, and Local Artisan Project. As everyone leaving the store holding bags of souvenirs, it was obvious that other customers were on the same mission as us and were successful. I certainly recommend this store to others looking for the same.

I say only $40, bc I plan on neatly tearing out several of the pages & framing them. It's such a beautiful book. I bought a Chicago recycled tote bag (that can be folded, & apparently used to be a water bottle!), a Cloud Bar coffee mug (bc it holds way more than 8 ounces & is such a beautiful ombré blue), & a Chicago photography book (the last one available for the night). The clothing items are priced fairly high, the hoodies are about $60-80. If you really want some high quality and low cost Chicago apparel, hit up the 24-hr Walgreens that's only a few blocks down the street. They have shirts, mugs, etc for like $10-20. HOWEVER! I gave this place 5 stars bc of the employee who helped me w the book. It wasn't priced (w a tag/sticker) but it was also the very last one on the shelf - it was found on display, so it wasn't even on the shelf. She noticed it wasn't a new edition so she actually called Cloud Bar (at the top floor) to see if they had any extra copies so that I could get a new one. Her taking the time & effort to do this without me even mentioning anything or asking her to do that was exceptionally thoughtful & kind. I presume they sell this same book at the Cloud Bar at the top of the building. She was on the phone for a bit, but they didn't have any new editions for me. I honestly am in LOVE with the book - it's absolutely stunning, the photography is so beautiful and will forever serve as a reminder of why I love Chicago so much & why I want to make this city my home either for medical school or for my life after that. I attached photos of the book. I'm so sorry I didn't get your name (the employee at the front desk), but I really appreciate your hospitality.
