I continue to be so in love with this store. If you're into shops that will have you looking in…read moreevery single corner wanting every single thing, then this is your stop. Tonight I finished my holiday shopping for my niece and picked up a couple of beautiful gifts. The kids section contains high-quality merchandise. My hubby was literally double-parked outside, and I thought I could just run in and out, but no way. I wanted to buy the entire collection! From adorable natural cotton baby clothes to books, to stuffed animals, to toys, you will not leave empty-handed. They have something for every budget, and I think the prices are spot on for the quality. I truly admit to being completely obsessed with an adorable owl stuffed animal. Sooooo cute! Now, the best part about this store? Well, aside from the well-curated merchandise, is the owner. She's a total sweetheart and helped me pick out the perfect gift. She also gift-wrapped it in a super cute burlap bag with my choice of tissue color and a tie. Thank you...thank you. I'm so happy to see that this store is around. I need to stop in more often. Of course, not just for baby gifts, because they have grown-up goodies and cards too. Run, don't walk to this store. You won't be disappointed. Plus, it's super cute inside.

I haven't done much shopping in town since Shirise closed their doors earlier this year (RIP), but it's fabulous to have a store where you can quickly pop in for a housewarming gift or just a little something for visiting a new baby. In the few weeks BlackSheep has been open I've stopped in twice to purchase: a) a lovely candle for the host of dinner during the jewish holidays b) a lovey for a new baby visit (the "real" gift wasn't ready quite yet) And of course I can't forget the few times my pre-schooler has dragged me in there for "just a few pieces of candy." Based on the fabulous candy display they have set up I have a feeling we'll be spending lots of time (and $) at BlackSheep. Welcome to the hood BlackSheep!

To which she said, and it kinda floored me, " I don't judge people by their clothes." I should note we were dressed very casually. She was trying her best to size us up which is just gross to be honest. She exhibited the type of off-putting vibe that gives the North Shore a bad rep.

I bought a beautiful ornament there, shaped like Santa with a Chicago-scape painted on the back of his robes (and was glad to get it for 40% off); if that ornament was any indication of the ones they sold at the height of holiday shopping season, they had some beautiful ornaments, too. Where they fell down (hard, IMO) was service. I wandered for about ten or more minutes looking around. There were at least three employees here (though one was in the back for at least part of my visit), and only two other parties whilst I was in here--both of whom left at least five minutes before I finished up. Not a single employee said a word to me whilst until I checked out, when one had to acknowledge me. They talked to each other... I heard them gossiping about family holiday drama... and even when they stopped chatting and parted, neither could spare a hello or anything. All this is to say that I don't expect I'll return, which won't be too difficult since I'm not in Winnetka often, but there are other shops where you can get pretty much anything that's here and you'll be treated better.

I like Home Goods, and I have shopped there for many years at different locations. I think the quality has declined since I last redecorated in 2009 and shopped there heavily (not this location - an East coast one). The old stuff truly seemed like high end over-stock from other stores, but the newer stuff seems like it is made for HG...and just not the same quality as they used to have (though every now & then, you see something to contradict what I just said - like a $60 Gucci candle...I doubt they were made for HG!) But, I have a $7 fake-Jade intricately carved turtle & a gorgeous triple matted painting (for $30) along with a vase that easily could've been $300 from a department store -- all from the old HG...and I've yet to see that level of quality/discount in the newer stores on average. I've actually bought a few things & they just didn't look right once I got them home because they were basically spray painted aluminum (candle holders, vases, etc). The Northbrook location is less crowded and messy than the Elston location in Chicago. Also, I think the artwork is significantly better. Elston has more pet stuff, and they also have better soaps (the same $9 French soap at Whole Foods for $5 - total surprise because I love this soap - a la Maison). Like others said, sometimes you leave with nothing - and other times you might accidentally spend $200 (when you came in for some gift wrap) because there can be things that are way too good to pass up. Speaking of gift wrap, I just bought the best little gift bags for the holiday season. They were $1.49 and clearly would be $7.99 at Walgreens or more at a specialty store. I was amazed at the quality of them being glitter coated on one side and nicely designed with cute winter snowmen. I will post a pic if I can, later. There are always little things like this on good days. They have a great section of small gifts too like little puzzles and things like that. It's a good place to stop in for the holidays even if you already have gifts in mind. They have a lot of fun add-on stuff for $5-10. read more

This is going to be the THIRD AD REVIEW on the disgusting MANAGER of this store. He is RUDE , SARCASTIC, AND CONDESCENDING ! - I bought an area rug and when I put it on my wood floor it began to unravel and shed literally hundreds of pieces of the long shag wool individual pieces all over my wood floors. If the window was opened it flew the piece all over the place. It was not in a high traffic area in my house, I have no small children or pets. IT was DEFECTIVE. I lost the receipt but called after the FIRST day to tell them that my husband was very ill and in the hospital, and that I could not bring the carpet back immediately. Well, my husband passed away, and it took three weeks after the funeral to get the carpet back. The manager implied that I did not get it at the store, even though I had called 3 weeks earlier, and there was 2 more rugs just like the one I had. He brought up another male worker, and ganged up on me smirking at the front of the store, actually smiling when I told them of my husbands death, and that I couldn't find the receipt, or for that matter function well at all in any capacity. After ONE HOUR of going back and forth, he offered a one hundred dollar credit, even though I paid more than that. I picked out a different rug that was not a shag, and the other male employee came over and shook the rug and with a smirk said " this one will shed also - look " well, it was only dust that shook off, not the fabric. I have never seen such horrible customer service- EVER ! I was a big fan of this store, but I will NEVER go back there unless these people are GONE ! read more

A lot of good stuff, but today i had to return something which was given to me for Christmas. I did not have a receipt of couse, because this store does not give a gift receipt, but my picture had a sticker from this store. First of all the line for returnes and purchases was very slow - would be nice if store had more workers on the official Day Off for a lot of people, then i felt like i was interrigated by the cashier, when it was purchased, why do i want to return, who did purchase this one and ..... and then they even tryed to give me amaller amount of money back, then on the sticker. I am very loyal customer to this store and expect same back. read more

Bolingbrook might be easier to access (there is quite a bit of construction around Schaumburg currently) and I would also debate it is not as busy as this location. However, I did notice the Schaumburg store is not only much cleaner and well maintained, but has way more showrooms and creative displays. I guess if I were buying or in a hurry I go to Bolingbrook and if I was meandering and idea hunting I'd go to Schaumburg. The reason why there are so many showrooms is because this store spans three floors and is in fact, one of the largest Ikeas in America! It is huge and even as a veteran Ikea shopper I still got turned around a couple times. One thing that's nice is this store has the ability to stock more items so I found they had all the items I wanted available.

I never really looked into it before but I thought Five Below was maybe a lower end clothing store lol. Anyway, it's basically an a-ok dollar store with items priced nominally up to $5. It's a fine store for such and they have a wide variety of items. They may not have the quality of a Hello Tokyo or a Daiso but you get more for your discount dollars here it appears. The kiddos had plenty of fun items to pick from to stay under their $5 budget and they enjoyed their shopping here. My only critique is that many items showed a scan code but no specific price except a sign saying less than $5. I had to ask the friendly and helpful attendant several times what an item's price was and most items we picked were $3.50 or $4 but it would be helpful to show an exact price if possible. I would recommend any discount shoppers check out this a-ok franchise to see if there's a consumer fit for themselves.
