Visited this store this morning, as we entered my husband said Good Morning to the 2 employees…read morestanding at the register. Neither one of them responded. We were there to purchase some Nora Fleming pieces so went directly to that section. As we stood there deciding on what pieces we wanted the 2 employees continued having their own conversation at the register. Not once did they come over to ask if we needed anything. We finally decided that we would just leave and purchase our items at another local store that also carries Nora Fleming. This used to be our go to store anytime we were in need of a gift. Not anymore.

For all your Viking needs! Wow they have a lot and anything you can dream up of that is viking…read morerelated. I saw quite a bit of merchandise that I saw when I was in Sweden. There was a lot of the cute viking figures, household items, art, and more. It really is fun to walk around in here. The only issue I had was the huge mark up. I saw some viking prints on fabric that I got in Sweden for about $10 and it was over $100 here! Wow that's a big difference. However, I guess we are in the middle of the US and far from Sweden and the owner clearly has been working hard to make this place what it is.

I recently visited this brand new gift shop in Arlington Heights, thinking that a store that sold…read more"just duckies" would be worth at most a 5 second walk-through. I was very surprised to see that these Bud Ducks are absolutely adorable. The store is packed with ducks from seemingly every walk of life, including rock stars, paparazzi, cowboys, indians, divas, gi joe - you name it! Friendly and attentive staff left me browse through the ducks in peace without hovering, yet was there to answer questions. Cute Cute Cute! At $5 for a mini duck that is nicely packaged in a little gift box, it's the perfect add-on gift or little something to make someone's day. Highly recommend this unique gift shop.

I ordered 2 Lou Malnati's Thin Crust Pizzas & 5 Deep Dish Pizzas. The pizza from Lou Malnati's was…read moresubpar, deep dish was very thin. The sauce tasted as if they just poured tomato sauce from a can on it, no flavor. The thin crust tasted worse than grocery frozen pizza. By the time it was delivered the sides of the pizza were soggy, if not broken.

We received a large gift assortment of the Chicago foods we grew up with. They arrived fairly well…read morepackaged in dry ice. Though the box was "curated" by Lou Malnati Pizza, the pizzas were the least favorite of the collection. They also make a deep dish style but we received 4 thin crust. The cooking instructions were to take them out of the tins and cook on oven rack, but the crust edges on two of them were broken so we could not remove them. They were all actually so thin and fragile that we cooked the other 2 on a cookie sheet. So they did not come out as crisp as we would have liked and the ones in the foil tins stuck to the pan. We had cheese, sausage and pepperoni. Sausage was ok, the other two blah and mediocre. No herbs on any of them. The Chicago dog kit was great, with Vienna red hots and poppy seed buns with all the condiments. Easy to heat and tasty. The half rack of ribs with sauce was good too. The highlight was Eli's cheesecake. Perfect, thoughtful packaging, easy to serve and just delicious. I made a strawberry sauce to serve with it. All in all a lovely gift but I would send the deep dish over thin crust pizzas. I think they would hold up better and be easier to heat.
