The first table that got my attention was the Father's Day gift. So many items that one could grab for their favorite dad. Whether lighters, mugs, Cubs books or candles so many items. They even had fancy bbq sauce combo kits. This store offers custom pillows to commemorate weddings, births, etc... The price seemed really reasonable. So many different items available for purchase such as gifts, home decorations, candles, party planning, jewelry, clothing and sunglasses. I purchased a pair of sunglasses and earrings. I also had my eye on this umbre hot pink scarf. Store rep was friendly, advised of new customer 10% coupon on highest priced item. She also recommend dining in the nearby neighborhood. Thanks for the MAKs suggestion.

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.

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!!

After a few off-putting experiences at the Hinsdale store (almost feeling like I was a burden to…read morethe staff at times) I had a pleasant experience most recently. One of the sales people, Lisette, was very engaged and went the extra mile to ensure I was taken care of. She brought me some options I never would have picked for myself and showed me different ways to wear, roll, button, etc. As a mom who has not felt stylish since pre-kids, it was a pleasant experience. I've always liked their selection - both clothing and home - but as we know, service speaks volumes. I appreciate Lisette and hope they keep up this top-notch service.

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.

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.

FANTASTIC FLORAL ARRANGEMENT!…read more I found Hinsdale Flower Shop via a Yelp search, as I needed to order flowers for my auntie's birthday. I navigated straight to their website and found it so simple to browse the site. I went to the occasions -- birthday page and found the perfect arrangement. I ordered some cut flowers in a simple vase, the arrangement is called "Brighten Your Day." I got the standard one ($59 + $15.95 delivery to Woodridge). The description on the site is as follows: "With an abundant array of bright red, yellow and purple flowers, this arrangement is sure to brighten your day. Roses, alstroemeria, asters, carnations and chrysanthemums are delivered in a cheerful clear glass vase." Apologies for not getting an actual photo - my aunt is not very technology-savvy so I had to use the photo from their website. The flowers were, indeed, very cheerful! My auntie was very pleased. I got an email confirmation immediately after she received them Had no issues with the order so I did not need to contact the shop. A++++!
