    Situated at the corner of E Illinois and New, Souvenir City Chicago has all the Chicago goods and more that you are after. We make it point to swing through each time we visit the city to see what new stickers, hats, trinkets, shirts, etc...they have. So far we came away with a coaster, magnet, sticker and now a cute Bean. Prices vary, but it's a souvenir spot, so they are higher while the quality is lower...but you know what you are getting from these spots. The store is packed full of goods, from wall to wall and floor to ceiling. Service is always welcoming and friendly. Recommendation, check the quality of your item before buying. Lots of hands in that store daily, so chips and cracks are frequent. Overall, solid souvenir shop!

    magnets!

    I want to dedicate this review to Gus. I stopped by the store the other day and purchased two magnets, but when I got home, I realized they weren't in my bag. I called the store, and when I came back, Gus was incredibly kind and understanding. Without hesitation, he offered me two replacement magnets-- completely on the house and free of charge. Huge shoutout and a big thank you to Gus for being so kind, thoughtful, and genuinely awesome. Also, the store itself has a great selection-- tons of fun Chicago memorabilia. I'll definitely be back!

    I searched all over Chicago for an affordable hoodie and was struggling to find one under $50. I eventually decided to get off the main streets and found this souvenir shop tucked over on the way to Navy Pier. I don't need a fancy hoodie but I do like to collect one from all the major cities I travel to. This shop had a decent selection of hoodies and other souvenirs and was exactly what I was looking for.

    Visiting from California, I was looking for some souvenirs to take back home. Passed by here on my way to Robert's pizza, so I decided to take a look. They have a lot to choose from. T-shirts, sweatshirts, shot glasses, magnets, keychains, socks, hats, mugs, etc. great selection, good prices. I came when the front door was open. But if you come early say around 8 AM to 11 AM you'd have to enter in through the liquor store next door and go through the hallway and pay at the liquor store fir any items you want to purchase. They accept cash and cc.

    This store has many shirts, cups, bags, post cards, shot glasses, key chains, and other items to select from. The tshirts I felt were soft and good quality. Most seemed to be in the $20 range. They do not have stickers If in Chicago again I would come back to look for gifts if there was a need

    Incredible selection. It doesn't feel touristy in my opinion. It just feels like a store that lives its city.

There are so many interactive displays, magical details, and unique merchandise that you could easily spend way more time here than you planned. I loved wandering through the store, checking everything out, and playing with all the fun interactive features. Every corner had something new to discover, and it really felt like stepping into the wizarding world. Whether you're a huge Harry Potter fan or just looking for a fun stop while visiting Chicago, this is definitely worth adding to your list. Such a magical experience and one of my favorite stops of the trip!

It truly is a magical place and spot on for decoration. There is lots of information available if you are unsure of prices, content of product, etc. Workers were nice. It's really easy to shop here and also great for souvenirs. Minus one star only because of how expensive the store can get. Everything here is $10 and up, and items are small. It is a nice place to look at just to know it because you know it's special, but I wouldn't find myself shopping here regularly whether it be for gifts or for fun even though I am fond of the Harry Potter movies and books.

Literally just around the corner from our hotel on Michigan Avenue was the I Love Chicago store. From the moment we walked into the store, we were quite busy looking at each corner of the store trying to find the perfect gifts. We found a number of cute snow globes on top of the Bean of all different sizes. Further back in the store were some clearance items where there were some great magnets. There were sports team merchandise, Chicago-themed candies, plenty of shirts, hats, and other clothing, and so much more. When you go to their website (https://lovefromcompanies.com/collections/chicago), you will receive a pop-up coupon for $10 off orders of $50 or more. There was also a sign up link by the counter where you could get 10% off by signing up. While there are more than three locations in Chicago and around the country, there are only three I Love Chicago locations including the one on Michigan Avenue, which I visited. The mission statement at Love From USA is to provide an extraordinary travel convenience and gift shopping experience, capturing lasting memories reflective of the local culture and lifestyle of the communities they serve. They support locally made products from small businesses across their markets. Love from USA was founded in 1979 as a paperweight kiosk and has grown tremendously since then. Now, they have 24 stores across the country. Chicago was the second place that they had stores. They also have a commitment to give back and take part in the Art For Good Project, Red Heart Project, and Local Artisan Project. As everyone leaving the store holding bags of souvenirs, it was obvious that other customers were on the same mission as us and were successful. I certainly recommend this store to others looking for the same.

You can buy tickets at the front (the left side) of the store for Cloud Bar & to go to the observation deck. I had a flight early in the morning, so I didn't do that, but I recommend it if you're visiting or just want a nice nigI bought this BEAUTIFUL book of Chicago street photography here for only $40. I say only $40, bc I plan on neatly tearing out several of the pages & framing them. It's such a beautiful book. I bought a Chicago recycled tote bag (that can be folded, & apparently used to be a water bottle!), a Cloud Bar coffee mug (bc it holds way more than 8 ounces & is such a beautiful ombré blue), & a Chicago photography book (the last one available for the night). The clothing items are priced fairly high, the hoodies are about $60-80. If you really want some high quality and low cost Chicago apparel, hit up the 24-hr Walgreens that's only a few blocks down the street. They have shirts, mugs, etc for like $10-20. HOWEVER! I gave this place 5 stars bc of the employee who helped me w the book. It wasn't priced (w a tag/sticker) but it was also the very last one on the shelf - it was found on display, so it wasn't even on the shelf. She noticed it wasn't a new edition so she actually called Cloud Bar (at the top floor) to see if they had any extra copies so that I could get a new one. Her taking the time & effort to do this without me even mentioning anything or asking her to do that was exceptionally thoughtful & kind. I presume they sell this same book at the Cloud Bar at the top of the building. She was on the phone for a bit, but they didn't have any new editions for me. I honestly am in LOVE with the book - it's absolutely stunning, the photography is so beautiful and will forever serve as a reminder of why I love Chicago so much & why I want to make this city my home either for medical school or for my life after that. I attached photos of the book. I'm so sorry I didn't get your name (the employee at the front desk), but I really appreciate your hospitality.

I did a lot of research and decided I wanted a Goyard tote bag as an everyday bag. We went to the Chicago location and I excitedly waited to be let in the doors. First of all, you can't take photos it is posted a few times through out the store, but I saw the other sale people letting the other shoppers take photos. The sales member helping me hardly looked up from his phone and when I asked about the color bags they had he pointed to where I could get the color samples. They were on a shelf and he couldn't be bothered to hand them to me. I asked to see the bag I wanted and it felt like I asked a teenager to take out the trash. I asked his opinion about the 2 colors I was debating between and he didn't seem to care and wasn't interested or invested in making the sale. Within about 15 minuets into our visit, I felt so unwelcomed and uncomfortable I decided I didn't want to buy the bag anymore. For years I have been planning to buy an expensive everyday bag and the experience here at Goyard was so negative, I walked away. I wanted the whole experience, someone invested in the process and someone would make me feel better about spending a lot of money.

My partner recently purchased 2 dog beds advertised for small to medium dogs. We have 2 frenchies and when the dog beds arrived, they are for toy dogs. The store refused a store credit which they usually give because they consider a dog bed a "trunk", which they did not indicate at the sale and it is also not intuitive (in fact, my partner originally was going to order 1 bed in blue and 1 in yellow, but was talked out of a special order). The money is already with Goyard in any event, but their unwillingness to take care of long time customers has lost them any future sale. Not even a call back from the manager as promised. Really poor customer service and very deceptive in marketing these beds for medium size dogs.
