Nowhere else in the store does it tell you no returns until you've actually bought the item and then you can see it on the receipt. So helpful... Also they have signs for buying multiple shirts and getting a discount but doesn't specify which shirts they actually applies to until you've get to the counter. Overpriced and deceiving. No thanks!

Instead of bringing home a typical souvenir, I got to create something completely personalized and unique to me. The process was fun, the staff was incredibly helpful, and there were so many options to make the hat your own. I loved leaving with not only a custom hat I'll actually wear, but also a fun memory from my trip.

Literally just around the corner from our hotel on Michigan Avenue was the I Love Chicago store. From the moment we walked into the store, we were quite busy looking at each corner of the store trying to find the perfect gifts. We found a number of cute snow globes on top of the Bean of all different sizes. Further back in the store were some clearance items where there were some great magnets. There were sports team merchandise, Chicago-themed candies, plenty of shirts, hats, and other clothing, and so much more. When you go to their website (https://lovefromcompanies.com/collections/chicago), you will receive a pop-up coupon for $10 off orders of $50 or more. There was also a sign up link by the counter where you could get 10% off by signing up. While there are more than three locations in Chicago and around the country, there are only three I Love Chicago locations including the one on Michigan Avenue, which I visited. The mission statement at Love From USA is to provide an extraordinary travel convenience and gift shopping experience, capturing lasting memories reflective of the local culture and lifestyle of the communities they serve. They support locally made products from small businesses across their markets. Love from USA was founded in 1979 as a paperweight kiosk and has grown tremendously since then. Now, they have 24 stores across the country. Chicago was the second place that they had stores. They also have a commitment to give back and take part in the Art For Good Project, Red Heart Project, and Local Artisan Project. As everyone leaving the store holding bags of souvenirs, it was obvious that other customers were on the same mission as us and were successful. I certainly recommend this store to others looking for the same.

I'm glad she talked me into it because their store has some fantastic stuff. I loved walking around and browsing... the store is really big. I thought it was just the first floor but there's an entire second floor that's even larger. That second floor has a ton of children's stuff; books, toys, stuffed animals, art, and so on. There are also lots of books for adults, and cards, and jewelry, and t-shirts, and so many things. I bought several books for my little one, and there are some toys I think she'd like that I may pick up another time and some really cute stuffed animals as well. I'm not sure if the woman that greeted us was a docent or a paid staff member but she was so welcoming. She's the one who pointed us to the second floor that we didn't know existed and let us know they had kid stuff. Then she welcomed us back when we got downstairs, and told us about the MCA kids days and said she couldn't wait to see us again.

I usually grab a few things to keep on hand because they have such great crowd pleasers. I think their card selection is great. There are so many beautiful cards available.

I would highly recommend the Fig Tree! It is one of Chicago's best gift shops, in my opinion.

They have some great Chicago-related merchandise: Glasses, coasters, kitchen towels, and so on. I was surprised to see an area with children's items like onesies and t-shirts and some small toys. They had a lot of cards, as well as a big section of socks. A lot of snarky and irreverent items too. This shop isn't easy for me to get to--I live on the north side and so it's nowhere near my neighborhood, and the couple other times I've attempted to visit here there was no parking around, so I'm not sure I'll be able to get back anytime soon. I would recommend it though and will be back if I'm around.

I'd been to the ones on Southport and on Wells but it was interesting to see the difference in merchandise here. It makes sense--this location seemed to have more office-type merchandise, and for a location in the Loop what better place to sell office supplies? Heck, I even had to stop myself from buying some of the cute office stuff they have here, and I only work two days per week in the office and still don't have my office space fully set up at home. If you need a last-minute card, even if it's beyond the standard congratulations or birthday, this is a great place to stop. And it's directly across the street from the Clark postal station, so may as well get it in the mail immediately before you forget! They had several board games. I'm a board gamer but usually don't play the ones that get mass market attention, and I saw some more niche ones like Steam Up which was truly surprising. I'm not sure who's coming here to buy them but I am totally in favor of stores supporting small publishers. I also saw journals, notepads, coffee cups, and so on. There's no parking here given its location in the loop. Train, bus, and/or foot will be your options.
