    Busy Beaver Button Co saved me today when my son announced he needed a personalized give away at an event for tomorrow! I whipped up a simple design on Canva and within a few hours they had made me 100 beautiful buttons ready for pick up. The price was reasonable too! The design guy emailed me right away when he saw my design was lo res and helped me find something better. Liz is Super helpful too.

    Thank you Busy Beaver Button's! I needed buttons made the day before a friends memorial service and they were very accommodating. The buttons came out great and I added a ribbon to them! Thanks again everyone loved them.

    Buttons are fun and interesting and you'll get your fill of them here. They have quite a display of every kind of button imaginable from advertising to political and everything in between, both old and new. Ask how you can make your own button.

    Busy Beaver made this button for me in 2012. It is still relevant.

    Busy Beaver is fast, professional, local and cheap as hell. The website is super duper. Do not button anywhere else!

    We've been using BBB for 3+ years. They are friendly, speedy and the buttons are high quality - what more can you ask for?

    I saw TT on TikTok and made a point to go there for cute souvenirs. It was nice but a little small…read more& underwhelming. I just left with 2 little magnets. I thought I would have gone on a shopping spree but I didn't. The employee who checked me out was very nice and super kind to everyone that walked in. Ok experience overall.

    Had a very offputting experience with this location. I live in Chicago, but I ordered a product…read moreonline for UPS shipping due to an impending snowstorm. Put the tracking number I was given into my UPS app, but the app never updated me, which I thought was strange. Several days later, I checked my UPS app and it showed my order was delivered the day before, to a different city in Illinois. When I tried to view the delivery photo, the app showed that I needed to enter an email address with a different domain than my email address. I called the Wicker Park store, which is the main storefront, and said that it appeared they had sent my order to someone else. The person who answered the phone could not have cared less, told me there was nothing she could do, and I needed to call their shipping service. I asked if they were a vendor, and the store said yes. I asked who had the authority to resend my package, and they said it was up to the shipping service. I told them they were the store that sold me the item and if they were not going to ensure I received it, I was going to file a Better Business Bureau complaint, which I since have done. I called the shipping service and they told me they were actually part of the company, not a vendor. It would have been helpful for the person answering the phone at the actual store to know that, which they did not. I gave the shipping clerk my order number, and they confirmed that my package had been sent to somebody else, living at an address in Wilmette. I asked how that happened, and they told me that the printer they use for shipping labels sometimes prints duplicate labels, and this has happened before. They offered to re-ship my item but in order to ensure I actually got it, I had to make a special trip to their Andersonville store in the middle of another snowstorm to pick it up in person, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid. My question is, if they know their shipping label printer is screwed up, and they keep occasionally sending orders to the wrong people, why don't they just replace the printer? Why did it fall on me, and I'm sure other customers, to figure out they had sent my order to an incorrect address, and then to have to essentially beg across two phone numbers to finally receive the order I had paid for? Lots of completely unnecessary stress because this store is too cheap to fix what they know is an ongoing, not insignificant problem. Knowing that they occasionally send things people have already paid for to other people and don't care to fix that issue? That's why I submitted my Better Business Bureau complaint.

    Excellent business. Very helpful over the top customer service. I called searching for a rainbow…read moreFlag and a few items for my daughters eighth grade graduation and Billy was amazing. Tho they didnt have what I was searching for in stock he went above and beyond. He called around and found the items thru his suppliers that could ship it in time and set the whole delivery up and got me the items within a day. My daughter and her friends were totally surprised and excited . Each of them got a small Flag as the large one still flies from our pole. These kids get ridiculed and messed with quite a bit and band together for each other for this reason. The message I wanted to send was love and acceptance to these kids. I wanted them to feel comfortable and safe , ridicule free so they could just be them and eat drink and hang out. They played bags, danced , listened to music and had a great time. Some of the parents unfortunately are not so accepting and one girl actually had to ask to be dropped off down street so mom wouldnt see the rainbow flag. She apparently would not have let her stay. I found that sad, but it is a perfect example why this day was so important and these items and their message needed to be sent. Kids beed love and acceptance to succeed not judgement and control and ridicule. Billy helped make that happen. I will highly recommend these guys a d order from them in the future. Thank you Billy.

    Fantastic shop for locals and tourists alike; it's just far enough off the beaten path that I think…read morelots of tourists need to be in the know to find it. I've driven by the shop several times and wondered what it was--I saw the solidarity fist; bar? Union headquarters? I found out what it was when I ended up here to buy souvenirs when flying home to visit family. They have TONS of stuff, lots of t-shirts and sweatshirts, but also hats, glasses, mugs... even pacifiers with the Chicago flag on them (you know I bought one for the toddler). They have some standard Chicago flag stuff but they also put their spin on it with some flags made with animal paws, or maybe my favorite was the one with apples on it. I think that's what lured me in, actually; my best friend is a teacher and I wanted to get one to take to her. The guy that works there told me the story, that the teacher's union was going to strike and this was a design they had come up with and Rep CHI started printing them. I looooooove the way the Chicago flag is used as the basis of so many designs and this is one of my favorites. Prices are super reasonable and you'll find lots of great stuff here. If you have visitors, I'd definitely bring them here first to look for souvenirs. The parking is fairly easy, all street in this area of Jeff/Portage Park. And grab a few of their little buttons on the way out!
