I purchased a lotion bar from a local craft fair not too long ago. I absolutely love this lotion! I…read moregot the scent in plumeria, which is hard to find these days. Trying to pick out which scent I wanted was hard too, as they all smelled wonderful. The lotion works great and the scent lingers. I love layering it with my plumeria perfume oil. I hope to run into this vender again. Although they specialize in candles, I really dig my lotion bar. Thank you!

A smaller Squishable store, but still a fun stop while you're in the Water Tower Place. There…read moreusually is a buy one get one half off deal when you go into a Squishable brick and mortar store, which is better than buying an item online. A bonus when we went in is that they had a $5 bin which had some retired squishables, beach towels, and Doctor Plague backpacks (this would've been a good buy if my kids were younger)! We ended up buying one of the stuffies from the deal tin this round... usually we end up buying something bigger. The person at the register was very nice and friendly. Store was in order and easy enough to find items that you would see on the website. If you are vertically challenged, bring a tall friend as you will need assistance to get to things on higher shelves.

I really enjoyed Squishable and didn't realize it was just a pop up shop from the online retailers…read more The stuffies were honestly the cutest stuffies I'd ever seen. It was comparable to the kawaii stores you see photos of from Japan. I'd never seen a bacon stuffie or an avocado one either. They had so many different food options, color options and even cute dogs in little outfits that look like other animals. I ended up getting a dog in a froggy costume because I just can't say no to a frog. The only draw back is they are on the pricey side. They are worth it in my opinion but considering just one medium sized squishable was $30, it is easy to rack up a bill if you need multiple items. If you love stuffed toys, check out their website because they have almost anything you can imagine. It's a truly adorable store.

What a fun pop up store to get personalized Converse sneakers. These will always be a thing and I…read morelove the cat one! Parking is not good here. Take public transport or Uber or Lyft. There are parking garages nearby and street parking but you have to pay. Park Chicago mobile app says $4.75 per hour to park on the street. Garage parking is about $15 in by 5pm and out by 1am.

Cool concept. A popup that's only here for summer '24. Come in. Pick your shoe on the wall…read more Approach the counter and get them customized. -Laces, custom embroidery, and patches. It's done on-site while you wait. You can only get the canvas ones customized. No leather. High-tops are easiest since there's more space on the shoe. Canvas shoes are generally around $75 then add between $5-$15 per element. I'm a simple gal. No bling for me. But I love the concept. Only negative is that there are tons more color options online, but then you miss out on all of the customizations

It's the perfect place to stop for a gift for someone (I got my sister a housewarming gift!) or treat yourself. The owner (Anna) was super friendly and sweet, and introduced me to their featured artist of the day who was selling super cute acrylic products. I got a couple pairs of earrings! I'll definitely be back and would reccomend anyone in the area to stop by and check it out!
