Was in Chico recently and checked out the Made in Chico store for some souvenirs to bring back. This was unlike any other [Your favorite city] Store. This place was huge compared to the other stores in downtown. It was filled with locally-made items and food from the area and county. There were so many unique gifts and items here. We spent over an hour in the store browsing! My friend and I spent over 5 minutes talking to Patty in the food section listening to her talk about each vendor she personally worked with and knew. You could hear the passion in her voice when describing each item. The scones mix, she explained, took the chef over a year to perfect, the hot sauces, she knew every little detail. She was so knowledgeable and welcoming. In fact, all the employees we interacted with were so helpful. I've had Lundberg organic brown rice many times as they used to carry it at my Costco but I had no idea they made rice chips. One of the other employees said she went to high school with the Lundberg's kids! There were so many things I wanted to bring back home but couldn't. It will just warrant another trip up to Chico in the near future! Thank you to the staff here for making us feel so welcome on our first visit ever to Chico! read more

See all

Purchased the Chico Streets poster from here and had it framed. The ladies in the store were so helpful with tips on where to buy frames for some of the odd sized posters. Cutest gift items for anyone who has visited Chico, friends, family, students, alumni, etc. read more

Looked at Made in Chico as a real possibility to consign numerous pieces of custom painted children's furniture. All pieces were priced to sell & Management at MIC agreed that all were appropriately priced. After 6 months and several conversions with Management nothing was sold. Why?? Essentially MIC used the furniture to display all kinds of children's books, clothing, quilts, bows & hair clips etc. In fact 1 piece was buried under so many quilts at the time I went to pick up all pieces it took staff 10 minutes to locate. While it would have been mutually beneficial to MIC & Me to have items SELL it seemed it was more important to USE the furniture to DISPLAY other seller's inventory. So DISAPPOINTED & all pieces are now available for sale on Facebook Marketplace! read more

I love this Store so many items from local artists I wanted everything! The staff was friendly and helpful. She took me to everything I asked for and had suggestions to help me buy souvenirs for my family. read more

Excellent place. As the name implies. Grow eat selection and helpful staff. I go every time I'm in town.

I took my two out-of-town guests here to find something special from Chico and they were not disappointed. The products are varied and beautifully displayed. We had to make a second trip the next day for ore treasure. read more

One of the coolest little shops I've ever encountered! Made In Chico is located in a great, expansive old building (tall ceilings, wonderfully creaky wood floors) in the heart of downtown and as you may have gathered, offers merchandise that is largely "made in Chico" or a surrounding town. It offers a locals' vibe that you just can't find elsewhere. The store is consignment-style where one will find different sections pertaining to the particular seller. It's full of whimsical, local artisan items. I've purchased a number of neat gifts from this store, and have also acquired a number of fun decor items for my home. I no longer live in Chico, but shopping here has allowed for me to display a few tasteful decor pieces so guests of mine will know that this city still holds a place in my heart. Made In Chico is a must-visit spot whenever I am in town. I will be out there next month and will most definitely make this one of my first stops! read more

One of the best retail establishments in Chico, what a great assortment of wonderful items and great staff.

Everything about this shop looks like it was meticulously planned out by someone with lots of love for her store. The store has a wonderful smell right as you walk in- lavender! It feels like shopping Etsy but in person. Lots of unique products made by locals. I brought home a jar of Chico spice blend (5.75), Sierra Nevada mustard (3.25) and lavender soap (7.25). read more

I don't think I've ever reviewed a store before, but I felt compelled by this one. High quality products at reasonable prices, at least by Bay Area standards. Some great wood bowls and cutting boards in particular and some great metal real hangings. I'll definitely come back when I'm in town. read more

The greatest store in Chico! This is THE place to go if you're looking for gifts. I use to live in Chico, now I'm an hour away. I was in a pinch and drove down there to get a gift for a wedding.

They're such sweethearts here, lovely amazing people. Tons of great stuff to really give you that "Chico" feel. Amazing store for gifts.

Just did a bit of Christmas shopping here. Great place to get gifts for family out of state. Unique local products.

If you want the cheapo stuff made in China, don't come here. the staff there are so friendly! read more

Every time we visit friends in Chico we stop in "Made in Chico" and usually walk out with a few awesome gifts. This time, as Christmas is approaching, we were able to do much of our shopping. I especially had fun working with Kylie to put a gift box together for my Aunt and Uncle in the midwest. I think it took 15 minutes total - walking around and tossing items in my basket and then selecting the top 10 from there, gave her the address and off it went! Cute fun items that they will be able to tell were selected to their taste (for example a spicy meat rub as they like to BBQ). Great store and you will always find the perfect gift here! read more

I love going to Made in Chico for gifts, especially for my out of town family! I like how you can find different, unique items every time you go!

What a great little spot to pick up gifts. The aisles look like a cross between CVS and a boutique gift store. There is a huge variety of items from food gifts to my favorite, Chico Klean Kanteens (the best water bottles!). I always try to stop by when I'm in town to see what they have in that month. read more

This store is always changing because it is all stuff from local artists! I love this place. Every time I'm in town,I like to scoop up something from here. Last time, I picked up a tank top for "Chico girls". I wanted to grab a sign, but by the time I came back later that day it was already gone! If you like something, don't wait. Lesson learned. This is a "must shop in" store! read more

The variety of unique local products at Made in Chico make it a fun shopping experience. Where else could I find a light switch plate decorated with a local Chico map and an artistically painted bird? It made a great gift for a family member. But sitting right next to it you'll find some really cool gift baskets that feature an assortment of local nuts. Then next to that, some hand crafted pens in all kinds of unusual shapes and sizes from a local Chico artist. There's just such a great variety of stuff!

I love all of the whimsical, unique and useful gifts in this store. I particularly was impressed with the large photos on canvas for sale by Jo Danehy (a local) of Danehy Photography at reasonable prices. read more

It is a nice store with nice people working in it. I was greeted and offered help and then left to look on my own. It was perfect. I hate when I get pushy salespeople. I also love the idea of being able to support local artisans and Made in Chico carries a great mix of products. Over the years I have seen beautiful pieces and products for the kitchen, for babies, for the home, for Christmas, for drinking and eating. Jewelery seems to be the one part of their business that has remained a constant and the pieces they carry just get better and better. The prices are more than fair. The owners are very nice people and not at all pretentious. You would never know how the store came to be but do ask them. Here is a little local trivia of the day: They created a couple of products that was hand sewn in quantity here (Get it? Made in Chico?) and sold in huge numbers at Nordstroms. The store is spacious and best of all you can get a slice of one of Mim's cake's if you get there early enough. read more

They have a wide variety of items and a friendly staff. This is the place to go if you're looking for gifts for a hard-to-shop-for person, plus you get to support local artisans! read more

Love this place! I shop here for my wife and any other gift I need, they always have something for someone. Why not shop local?
