We had about 2 hours to kill in Princeton before our Amtrak to Chicago came and Beetz me was one of the few places open for a drink. I loved the eclectic style of the shop - lots of fun and unique gift items. There's also a small bar in the back. I hope this place does well in Princeton! read more

When I come to visit family I usually ask to stop here because they usually have some great gifts and I'll stock up for Xmas. This time around I found the staff rude and the items expensive. They have so many signs up not to take photos, they want you to buy the stuff not search for it online. It's cute but you can totally find that stuff on Amazon for a lot less. You can say that it's the curation of the items that matter and yes, but the prices are prohibitive for items that are mass produced. This isn't chicago. In previous years I found more Illinois/regional items or small business items that I'd be happier to give my money towards. Maybe it's post Covid inflation but the other stores in the area are much friendlier and have more unique pieces. read more

Oh this is such a lovely store! The owner is so kind and generous! All of the items inside are so neat and unique! All the way down the room they have a little wine bar. So many choice and some good local stuff. Definitely my best experience in Princeton!!! read more

We came to town at the very end of a holiday weekend and not many things were open. We had been referred to Beetz Me by a friend who used to live in Princeton, IL. We were delighted to find that she was open and we were able to enjoy a great hour browsing around and selecting some "must have" items to take home with us! The large, beautiful and delicious truffles are not to be missed...yum! GREAT wine selection! Fun items for cooking and decorating around the home. Then we went out to a delicious dinner in town. Beets Me made our trip! Thanks Laura! read more

I live in Las Vegas, NV and on occasion visit a friend of mine that lives in the small town of Princeton, IL and have been doing so since 2009. I gotta tell you, I consider myself design savvy and fashion forward and in addition to visiting my friend, I would not consider visiting Princeton without dropping in to Beetz Me. I have purchased various items from a rhinestone studded long denim coat, to the cutest fedora, to very unique throw pillows, to random knick knacks...I never know what unique and cool items I might find. I live in a very cool city with great shopping at my doorstep, but some of my neatest finds have been purchased in Princeton, IL at Beetz Me. Totally worth the drop in if you are in the area. read more
