I walked out of there spending a lot of money and left feeling i will never promote her business because truly she doesn't deserve it. Hospitality is huge and people need that in life.

The Yankee Peddler is one of those "boutiquey" shops that is always on my list when I am looking…read morefor a one of a kind gift for friends or family. From the time that you push open the squeaky front door, your senses are assaulted with the smell of the designer lines of home fragrance that they carry. The space is stocked and pleasantly crowded from floor to ceiling with a variety of items sure to please. From designer cocktail napkins to potpourri, picture frames, home fragrances, personal body care products, cookbooks, and during the holidays specialty ornaments, the Yankee Peddler always has that unique gift item that you didn't even think of before entering the store. They also carry one of my favorite home fragrance lines "Thymes" which is often hard to find. Stop by this unique little shop the next time you are in Hinsdale. There's no telling what you might find tucked away in a little nook or cranny. That's part of the delight of this little shop.

This store is my crack. No, seriously. I'm bummed that it's in Oak Brook, but at the same time…read moreglad it's in Oak Brook. Because if it were in the city, I'd be broke. I LOVE sassy, sarcastic cards and this place is loaded with some of the best I've ever seen. I especially love the style of cards with an vintage picture and a smartass saying, and they've got tons. Anne Taintor, Curly Girl, and more. I loaded up on cards, magnets, etc. I mean, who doesn't want a card that says, "What's wrong with my attitude, it matches my outfit?" Love. It. It was so hard to stop. Awesome cards + great and quirky gifts = my heaven. I can't wait to return!!

First time here! Such a well organized, visually appealing store!…read more It's October currently and this store was very fall! Everything was super on trend. They have tons of teenage and women's clothing options, home goods, and Knick knacks. There is tons to look at and it is so beautifully organized and well placed. Pricing is on the higher side but for how well everything was displayed, organized, the quality of items, selection, and the area we are in, it seems about right.

I don't know how stores get away with a 7 day refund policy anymore . It's so anti- customer . For…read morea busy professional it's hard to get back within 6 days if something doesn't work out . Apparently I showed up on day 8 and had to accept a crappy paper receipt as a store credit instead of a money back refund. I honestly don't know if I'll even use the credit knowing how shitty the return policy is . I'll be reluctant to shop here again out of principle . The sweeter I returned was so cheap and shapeless. Even though it's more expensive, the quality of the clothing and the much friendlier policies make Evereve the better option all day long .

I usually come from Chicago to the burbs to knockout shopping in one area. This strip mall that…read moreUncharted is located in meets this need. I happily stumbled upon Uncharted as I ventured the strip. At first I was rather overwhelmed and had sensory overload from al the cuteness, but quickly became familiar with the store after doing an initial walk thru. They have a nice selection of clothes and carefully curated items. I appreciate the variety and can see my wallet hurting if I brought my teen and tweenage girls. Last but not least, they had the Swedish gummy pop up selling at a great price. You bet I took advantage of that! I will definitely come back with my girls and maybe a mom's only shopping trip.

No, it was a couple of moms and their tweenish daughters, and for a moment I thought, this store isn't for me. They pulled on the locked door a few times, and when it finally opened, I made my way into the store, along with a few other people. It was a store for me, and them, and you and your friends. Uncharted is a very nice gift store, and larger inside than you expect. There were candles, housewares, cards, clothes, toys, jewelry, candy, men's gifts, and more. It's an updated and more trendy Hallmark store. The staff were very nice, and asked me to join their rewards club. I declined, as this location is a little far for me. I did purchase a cute scratch-off artpad for a gift and some pretty notecards.

What's even better The Merry Memory Company is in Arlington Heights, Illinois, a wonderful northwest suburb of Chicago with lotsa places to eat, beautiful parks and one of the best libraries in Illinois. I love The Merry Memory Company. I attended an author's reading there; Richard Cronberg, a Chicagoland native through and through. It was a terrific reading.
