Great shop. An eclectic mix of items but it'd you're looking for a gift, this is a place you will want to stop. The high priestess and Hermit candle are my favorites. High priestess smells a bit like apple cider to me--just the tiniest bit; like a hint as you're trying to figure out what the scent reminds you of before it fades. The other candle smells woodsy and rich, but not overpoweringly so--very very subtle, but enough to conjure images of the deep woods. They have a few plants too, and their plants are beautiful. I think they may sell some on Instagram; when I stopped in there were several plants with names on them on the one wall, seemingly for pickup. They have some great pots--I do NOT need new pots, but I bought a constellation pot and almost bought another but was able to control myself. I also considered a plant or two, but I need to control myself with plants for a while too. Staff were friendly, not overbearing. Their hours on Sunday are short--10-2. They're right in downtown Glen Ellyn, but not along Main; they're around the corner, and there are a few parking spots in their lot or on the surrounding streets. Good Roots has gotten some good press lately (see the story on their Instagram page), and they also received recognition from the village of Glen Ellyn. Much deserved; this is a great shop, whether you're out for a stroll in downtown Glen Ellyn or are on a mission for a great gift.

Bird's nest fern, watermelon peperomia, and a lipstick plant!

I found Good Roots while on the search for a place that specialized in indoor plants, instead of your typical outdoor nursery/garden center, and WOW this place did not disappoint. If i could live there, I would. They were super nice and gave me a discount on one of the plants I got because it was looking a little droopy, but it was just in need of watering, and perked right back up once I got it home! An absolute hidden gem.

This Women owned shop is truly what my dreams are made of. It's a magical place that's busting at the seams with inspiration, beautiful home decor, planty plants, pots, and great gifts sprinkled all throughout. Highly recommend and give 'em a follow on Instagram.

It's a fancy store and they do have plants; however the prices are through the roof. Some of the pricing make zero sense.

If you're looking for the perfect place to find the perfect gift for any occasion, then, come here!…read moreThey have anything that you could possibly think of. I love how they have individual booths. Which, makes it really fun! Most items come from local artists which, I love. They also have many things from all around the world. Which, makes for a unique one of a kind experience. There's also a little cafe that makes tasty treats for all to enjoy. Along with a coffee bar that also serves alcohol. Do, stop by for a drink to enjoy. Everyone was super sweet and very helpful! They have a huge selection of candies from all over the world and local specialties. They also have different bread mixes, cake mixes, dips, jams, jellies, pastas, sauces, and lots of other treats! Their prices are also very fair for the quality of what you get. Which, makes the price worth it. So, if you're looking for a fun festive experience then, go here! You won't regret it.

Although I didn't find what I was looking for, I found many reasons to return. Considering it's a bunch of different vendors you really never know what you'll find. Each section is curated different and the prices range depending on the vendor. I took one star off because no staff acknowledged me on my visit even though multiple workers walked by me.

A few years ago, I saw a friend post a picture of a store with an insane Jellycat selection, so I…read moremessaged her and had to know where, and she told me about Fairytales in downtown Lombard. I have since probably purchased over 20 Jellycats from here, it's my favorite way to do so because I love supporting a local business and this shop is genuinely just the best. Outside of Jellycats, I've gotten Hello Kitty Blue Sky Ceramics, an Allen designs clock, Christmas ornaments, a lazy Susan, and baby gifts. Although I don't live in the area, anytime I'm out towards Oak Brook I ALWAYS make sure to stop by Fairytales to see what's new. Unfortunately due to the immense popularity of Jellycats, their stock has declined significantly which is a bit of a bummer, but it seems to be out of their control from my understanding. Everyone I've interacted with here has been incredibly sweet, I've done waitlist orders (I was able to get the large snow dragon jellycat this was as well as some of the rare Christmas ornaments!), and I've done a few online pickup orders as well. Each time my items are packaged beautifully and I feel so special walking out with the super high quality, beautifully branded Fairytales bag. Downtown Lombard truly has a gem, if it was closer to me I'd frequent a lot more, but it just makes my trips even more special when I do get to stop by.

Love this store! Friendly staff and owners. Huge selection of collectables and knowledgeable…read morestaff. Love shopping and attending Nora Fleming events! Stop by you wont regret it!!
