    Nice store with a variety of items that are reasonably priced. If you are looking for a gift for yourself or someone else, you shouldn't have a hard time finding something.

    My friend wanted to stop by here to buy some souvenirs.

    After eating our deep dish pizza at Lou Malnati's, while walking back to our hotel my coworker tells me that he needed to stop by this tourist trap souvenir shop called - "Bye Bye Chicago" to pick up something for his daughter. What can I say about - "Bye Bye Chicago"? Don't let that "SALE" sign by the door fool you as everything in this store is a wee-bit overpriced, but I won't rag on them for it, as it's just about a simple - "supply & demand" thing. You need a souvenir? Bye Bye Chicago definitely has it! To top it off, if you don't have car, and your only means of transportation is your feet, at least Bye Bye Chicago is conveniently situated in an area in downtown Chicago where you can pick something up for a loved one, without having to catch a taxi to get to a souvenir shop. Bye Bye Chicago carries the usual touristy stuff like - t-shirts, baseball caps and hats, sweatshirts, coffee mugs and cups, refrigerator magnets, and I'm pretty sure a lot more things that I missed here, Lol! Only after we left the souvenir shop, we walked a few blocks more, then we saw a "Ross Dress for Less". Aiyah!!! We should have popped into that Ross Dress for Less store to look for some souvenir DEALAGES! Lol!

    Great place to purchase souvenirs. Everything is organized well and everything you could think of is here. Prices are decent compared to NY.

    I haven't seen any souvenir shops around downtown Chicago until I walked past this shop! It is very near to the millennium park, so if you are in need to find some moderately priced souvenirs for friends and family this is a nice place to go to. They have tshirts and sweatshirts that range from $16+, keychains, magnets, mugs, kitchenware, pins, shot glasses, snow globes, caps, tiny sculptures of the Willis tower, and many more. There's a wide variety to choose from and I am very happy to find this store at a very convenient location from my hotel.

    Pretty cool shot glass but 6.99

    Good area to get souvenirs. Prices are great compared to prices at the tourist attractions. Glad they have so many locations.

    Love love love this store. Found it on TikTok and it was so cute. Definitely recommend to go early…read morebecause there is a long wait to check in for the hat experience. If you go just for shopping minimal wait depending how crowded the store is! It got so busy inside. Made a hat and cute accessories! Pretty pricey but if you like hats definitely a good souvenir.

    We were only in Chicago for 3 days and we managed to come to Alice & Wonder twice…read more Before our trip my friend Heidi had been sending us Tiktoks about going to Alice & Wonder to get our souvenir hat, you actually pick a hat of your choice and add some cute little patches, so I was really excited even though I cannot wear hats, my head size does not allow for it unfortunately. But I was able to get a couple of patches that I'm going to patch on to my book tote. The team here was super sweet, they make sure you like the placement of the patches before pressing them on, my friends made some really cute hats that I'll have to get photos. I ended up getting a hotdog patch that said Chicago and a spicy patch, a pair of socks and magnet, they give you cute little tote bags so you can shop throughout the city and add more to it. Really good value I think, they did say I can press it onto my beret at home instead so I might do that with one of the patches. Definitely a must check out, this location was a 10 minute walk from our hotel but there are a couple of other locations as well.

    I Love Chicago - Stop into I Love Chicago on Michigan Ave for a wide selection of Chicago-themed souvenirs and gifts.

    Upon a recent visit to Chicago with my friends, we were trying to find a nice souvenir shop near…read moreour hotel with a great selection for good prices. 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.

The bags are classy, colorful, fun and around $5.00 for the shopping bags. They have the most vibrant art of Chicago landmarks and also they are made out of recycled bottles!

    For a while I have been planning on buying a tote bag (for years). Anyone who know myself and my…read morehusband knows we are big savers and buying an expensive bag is out of character for us. 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.

    I'll preface this comment by saying we have been regular customers for a number of years (2 cabin…read morecarry-ons, briefcase, messenger bag, 2 other bags, multiple wallets and key chains, dog collars and leashes). 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.
