They have amazing Christmas gifts (specifically feminine gifts). I managed to find great stocking stuffers, Christmas decor, and gifts for my family members.

Most the time when I shop here, it's for other people (great place to find gifts). Although some home and other items are on the pricey end, I find that there is something in here for everyone and every price range & nothing beats being able to find a gift for someone that is unique and stylish. The employees are friendly & almost always ask if I need any assistance finding something. They are certainly passionate about the merchandise they have to offer. Worth stopping in and looking around!

It's a great escape from the hustle and bustle of Springfield. After work I usually look forward to stopping in to just relax, browse books and admire all of the crystals, stones and gems. ( I work a few blocks from their location). I always feel I can trust in the store's advice and reputation as a Crystal shop. I enjoy the friendliness of staff and their knowledge. All of the staff members are very patient and strive to help you with every facet of your shopping experience. I absolutely love their Crystal Collection!

Since the weather has improved, I've started dropping by here on the regular to browse their…read moregorgeous selection of pre-potted succulents, herbs, and starter plants. This is easily one of the best nurseries in Springfield, if not the best - it's huge, the staff is knowledgeable, and the variety of plants is unrivaled. Plus, it's just a fun place to visit - I genuinely can't think of a place I'd rather spend a free hour at than a giant nursery. What I appreciate about Wickman's is that although you can find slightly cheaper plants at places like Home Depot, the difference in health puts the prices into perspective. I've spent a lot of time fussing over plants from big outdoor stores that pucker and wither soon after being taken home, while their counterparts (same species and everything) from Wickman's thrive. Obviously there could be a lot of reasons for this, but it definitely gives me the perception that Wickman's takes better care of its inventory and grows them well in the first place. That being said, I don't think the price disparity is that much, anyway. Recently I started a pallet garden and was really pleased that I could pick up baby ivy and ferns at Wickman's for about $1.50 a pop. In addition, one of the employees helpfully advised me on how long to keep them isolated until the last frost ends. Buying a bunch of plants with an air of impenetreble knowledge can be futile, so if I don't know how to do something or feel like I'm about to do something wrong, I definitely feel confident asking these employees for tips. At the expense of sounding cheesy, I think part of the reason I like Wickman's so much is because it really is a place that inspires creativity and an appreciation for the earth. You can buy a tiny Venus Flytrap in a cup or plan an entire landscaping project; either way, just about anyone can find something beautiful here.

Last week I took my mother there for her 80th birthday and her meal was terrible. She got the ahi tuna entree and wanted it cooked more as it was so rare and not even hot or warm just like her cabbage. The waitress being new had little clue how to handle this. She had her keep her mashed potatoes and took the rest back to be heated more. The tuna then was returned dry and over cooked and no warm potatoes were added. Terrible experience for the cost of the evening. I will not be going back anytime soon.

This one is truly amazing. It is very well planned. It is inviting. You can check out an I-pad for free. Large & small meeting rooms, nice study tables. The wifi can get slow at times. There are separate themed sections, teens, kids, business, etc. The restaurant is a little pricier than I would like to see, especially since the location of the library is not in a walkable area. That is the only super BAD thing about this library is that it is FAR out from everything. There is only 1 bus that goes to it and I am a public transit nerd. The food at the cafe is really good, but expensive for a student on a budget, and there aren't any affordable places in walking distance. One plus, is that the food is a lot healthier than what I usually eat. The servers were cute and friendly. The shelving staff aren't super friendly. There was a water bottle on top of the I-pad kiosk for over an hour. I tried to flag down the guy shelving audio books, but he totally ignored me. I dunno maybe he was just a guy doing court ordered community service or something or in a bad mood. But I love this place anyway! One thing that I love, is that you can print using their printers via smartphone, your own pc or tablet with their mobile printing feature. I could live here all the time. It's awesome sauce.

The cafe space is no longer in use by the coffee cafe but this library still has a lot going for it. There are multiple meeting/ community rooms and reading lounges.
