Staff was very very friendly and helpful and didn't mind that I poked around a bit looking for the perfect item. Price-wise, there is a range, but this does skew on the high end side. Great for a nice present or a treat for yourself. I'll definitely be back when I need stationary or related items.

I know email tone can be misinterpreted but as a representative she completely turned me off from visiting again in person or recommending to any of my friends and family. Good customer service is essential these days if you expect to keep customers! Not to mention the increased prices of Gepetto's toys compared to other businesses. Yes the quality is good, but it's not an excuse to be crappy towards your customers. There are other options in the area. I'd recommend they get a new person answering emails unless the business supports that type of behavior.

Chelly and April immediately jumped in to help and made what could have been a disaster so much less stressful. They helped me replace all of my balloons and decorations, and they even let me borrow a hand pump so I could inflate the balloons that couldn't be filled with helium. Their kindness, patience, and willingness to go the extra mile meant so much to me, especially since all of the Party City stores had closed and I wasn't sure where else to turn. Thanks to them, my mom's retirement party came together beautifully. I'm incredibly grateful for their help and will absolutely be back for all of my future party planning needs. Thank you, Chelly and April! I think this version feels warm, genuine, and highlights the employees by name--which is something businesses and future customers really appreciate.

Always prompt with deliveries and usually have items in stock. Glad you have the products we needed.read more

HEADS UP, LOCALS: If you're shopping here to support independent artists and local businesses, take…read morea closer look at what you're buying--you might be buying TEMU. Living in Wicker Park, I intentionally spend more money at neighborhood businesses because I want to support the community behind them. That's why I purchased a ring here for $34. Later, I found what appears to be the identical ring on Temu for $3.20. The price difference isn't what bothered me. Local businesses need to make money. What bothered me was believing I was supporting a unique local boutique, only to discover what appears to be a mass-produced item readily available online. Maybe some items here are made by local artists. I hope they are. Too bad the owner wasn't there when I stopped in, because this is feedback I would have preferred to give directly. Whether the response to this review is that the ring isn't from Temu, that retail markups are normal, or that other products in the store are locally made, the underlying concern remains the same: customers who choose to shop local deserve transparency about what they're actually supporting. That's what makes this so disappointing.

The items here may not be plentiful but enough to make your next child's party a success. I mean they have very typical Mexican products and please don't let the factory setting discourage you, this place is for everyone including the public. I had a very nice chat with one of the owners who was extremely pleasant and helpful. Of course if you are looking for glamorous items, than keep going, this is a typical (pretend your in Mexico) stop. Wooden floors that creak, cement walls that have probably never been painted and an air of vintage sewing machine factory, since this is what it was back in the 30's. But come by and get your kids party supplies. When it comes to pinatas, this is the one stop that I highly recommend. Although I remember that the pinatas are so typical and made of cardboard that takes your strongest cousin to crack open.
