PET SHOP BOYZ 2 MEN…read more This tchotchke store in downtown Oak Park lovingly services humans and their furry best friends. As one of the more eclectic businesses in the area, I always find so much cool stuff when I come in to Scratch 'N Sniff. At some point I'm gently reminded that I'm there to buy gifts for people (not more kitschy crap for myself). The storefront can be found on Marion St, just north of the train tracks. They've got treats a-plenty for canines & felines alike, most evidently seen in the glass display case near the front. Paw-shaped cookies for $2.25, holiday "pup cups" for $1.50 (dog-friendly Reese's), and too many other adorable things to name. You can find things like leashes, chew toys, and pet accessories in the back. I got a kick out of their small collection of stoner stuff: stash jars, ceramic grinders, ganja cookbooks, wake-and-bake coffee mugs. Human "catnip" was recently legalized in Illinois, so why not chill alongside your pet? It's unobtrusively tucked in with the rest of the store, too. Scratch 'N Sniff also has a fantastic selection of Chicago gifts, like plastic plates imprinted with a map of the CTA. Most of the stuff is available year-round, although some items are clearly seasonal. The gadgets section has tons of wacky (yet still practical) doo-dads like phone chargers and multi-purpose tools. * TL;DR * Unlike Poke Burrito or Hecho en Oak Park (which see our patronage 1-2 times/month), we stop in to Scratch 'N Sniff only once or twice a year, usually during the holidays. The staff are friendly and they have an incredible amount of funky fresh merchandise for both people and their pets. A creaky wooden floor enhances the down-to-earth vibe of this place, and as long as they continue to stock unique gifts, I'm happy to support small stores by shopping local. Recommended.

First, they had a bunch of cool Halloween decorations for really cheap -figurines and such for about $10.

Overall, they had some really, really nice stuff. Everything is super cheap. The store was pretty quiet and there were plenty of salespeople around to help in case you had a question!

And you wouldn't believe the customer service: the woman working there (Judy) actually called the framer (Brock) at home to see if he could meet with me before their usual opening time (it was the only time I was available) -- and he did! Then, he went out of his way to offer me less-expensive (but still archival quality) options; when was the last time anybody tried to down-sell you instead of up-sell? Truly refreshing. Finally, he proceeded to complete the job at double the estimated speed! Whether you're an artist or just have some items that need framing and hanging, this is the place to call.
