The young man and woman that were there, we super friendly and helpful. They were so personable and took time to explain the background of many items. I especially appreciated the vast array of Kenosha or Wisconsin specific items since I grew up in Kenosha but live out of town. This is the perfect shop for a special gift. I also bought something for myself. I will certainly keep Authentique in mind for any gift giving occasion or if I want something cute for my home!

I love Flowers for Dreams. Have been a fan ever since they opened in Milwaukee. I love that a…read moreportion of their profits goes to a different nonprofit in the community each month. Their flowers are beautiful. I get a bouquet every year for Valentine's Day. This year, I was feeling under the weather, was leaving work early when my boyfriend said the delivery window was 8-5. I called FFD and spoke with a staff member who let me know we couldn't reroute the delivery but they would make me a new bouquet to pick up. The staff member was so patient as I had almost completely lost my voice. I showed up to their shop with my mask on and a barely audible hello. They knew exactly who I was and got my package ready for me. I love that they partner with other small businesses to create fun bundles. The candle accompanying the flowers smelled amazing and the chocolates were delicious. Over a week later and the flowers look just as good as on day one! They also have fun workshops to build your own bouquets and seasonal wreaths. Highly recommend them as a quality, ethical florist.

Once I started working with them directly I knew they were going to help me make my day absolutely perfect. Kaylee was so helpful and always willing to mock up new ideas with me and that was always appreciated. The process was amazing from the very beginning and all our florals looked STUNNING. My bridal bouquet was so gorgeous and she took every detail I gave her to make it how I wanted. We did not have a ton of florals but we had candles on our tables and we received compliments all night of how elegant everything looked. Their team was so quick to help make adjustments on the wedding day to make sure everything looked beautiful and it did. I absolutely loved working with flowers for dreams!

I was not expecting to find a children's store in the middle of Kenosha. This is a lovely store and…read moreit is really quite large. They have a lot of nice brands here; I saw some stuff by Mayoral, Quincy Mae, Rylee and Cru, and others. They had a nice selection of stuff for both genders--a nice change since I have found (and my friends with sons have confirmed) it can be difficult to find as much for boys as for girls. In addition to the clothes, there were lots of toys and accessories. I bought some beeswax crayons that my little one was playing with (the store has a little table set up near the cash register for children to color at) and I liked the crayons a lot myself; they were really smooth. Makes me want to take up coloring more often. (Though I guess I'll have the chance with a small child.) The sizes run the childhood gamut--they have infant items all the way up to probably at least age 10. The store features a brand of the month, and a contest associated with it; if you buy an item by the brand of the month you are entered into a contest. Clever incentive. There isn't a dedicated parking lot, but the downtown (?) Kenosha area has plenty of street parking.

Vintage Mercantile is a small little gift shop right on Main Street in downtown Antioch, Illinois…read more They have done a fantastic job remodeling and repairing the inside space to look a bit rustic, decorated with items from the past. With the large open windows up front, the store has plenty of natural lighting, which gives it a cozy feeling. They sell a selection of soaps, spices, cups, bags, jewelry, towels, and a good variety of little knickknacks. They have these books that are made up to look like old leather bound tomes with cloth like paper that I thought was pretty neat. The staff were very friendly and made sure we were taken care of but didn't hound us while we shopped. My only comment is some items were a tad bit pricey, but that's pretty standard for the unique products that they sell. It definitely did not feel touristy, as some gift shops do, so that was very nice. Overall, if you're looking for something unique, rustic, or something with an Antioch Illinois flair, then Vintage Mercantile is a great place to stop in if you're in the area. I would definitely recommend it!
