Wow! What a gem! We recently received a gift certificate to this store for my son's first birthday…read more We had never been here before and were very impressed. They have a great selection, everything from seasonal (currently Easter) toys, to dress up, stuffed animals, puppets, baby toys, books, board games, tonies, art supplies and so much more! The staff were helpful and friendly but let us roam around with our toddler without feeling rushed or pressured. All of the products appeared to be good quality and we felt good shopping local rather than Amazon. We ended up purchasing a neat little book that tells an audio story. They had others that were my first Bach book, my first Mozart, my first Ballet etc. that were more musical and less story. So much neat stuff, we spent quite a while in the store and I foresee us coming back for future holidays and birthdays.

I wanted something different for the kids in my life, even if I had to spend a little bit more. My first trip to the store, I got acquainted with the layout, and all the wonderful toys and games filling the space. The second visit, I started to narrow my shopping list. Third trip, I purchased items. The staff was there when I needed them, but didn't hover, and let me browse. There's something magical about shopping for toys you see and touch in person, reminiscing about Christmases past, and dreaming about the one to come. Thanks, Happy Up!

Lucky for me, yesterday I was having lunch in E-ville, so I made a point to stop and see what they had to offer. OMG! If you need silly fun yard decor or if you are into Farmhouse decor for your home, you've got to shop here. There is stuff everywhere and it's all rustic and vintage looking. The creative side of my brain was working at warp speed trying to figure out where I could use many of the items. The couple working were a true mom & pop team. I may have walked out empty handed today, but there were many garden items calling out to me. So I know I will be back. When: April 22, 2021 Why: Browsing for the garden

This store was very crowded and too much inventory being moved around during business hrs in my opinion. Every direction was a new bed of items being pushed in your direction. My shopping experience was pretty much dodging the inventory staff and moving out the way. This store needs and overnight inventory shift . The positive of this is at least the product is coming in at this location. Others stores I have been too shelves are bare!!! Guess with that being said I'll shut up and be more appreciative of workers and inventory :)

Looking for holiday decorations? If so, Kirklands is a good place to shop…read more In my new house, I have what I call a, ghost mantle. It's not a real fireplace, it's just the mantel that would go around one, flush against the wall. It's painted in an antique/vintage white and is very distressed. At first, I didn't like it and was thinking about removing it from the living room. Then while working with a decorator, she was all excited about and told me what fun things I could do. Now, I love it and cannot wait for the next holiday to change things up. Yes, I am changing the decor with the change of holidays and seasons. Where most people have the same boring mantel decorations/presentation everyday of the year, mine changes like the sets of a Broadway musical. That is why, I love shopping at Kirklands. Today I able to completely decorate for Valentine's Day and I picked up almost all my needed supplies for Easter. The only thing they did not have for me today, was St. Patrick's Day. If you're also into decorating your home with the new popular farmhouse theme, they've got you covered for that as well. The staff is friendly and helpful while you're shopping. What kept them form getting a fifth star from me, is how they bagged my purchase. They use no protective paper around your items before placing them in the bags. Metal and wooden items rubbing against each other can remove paint and leave scuff marks. A sheet of wrapping paper to protect your new items would be a nice customer service touch. When: January 9, 2021 Why: Decorating my mantel

The flow of the aisles and staggering of the different departments, makes for a pleasant shopping experience. The store is always super clean and well merchandised. I do believe they even have some more upscaled items that are not available at the Alton store. Today I was shopping for a baby shower gift and found a fabulous Aveeno mommy & baby gift basket. It was perfect, a little something for the momma as well as the new baby. The check out process took some time, but that was okay. It was obvious they were training new cashiers. We all need to have patience. Remember, it is a virtue. Many of my favorite places to shop in E-ville are near this Target, so it makes it easy for me to stop by whenever I am in town.
