Super cute kids book and games store. A huge amount of toys and books and some stuff for adults but mostly kids. Reasonably priced. You can find almost anything there. Very nice staff as well. read more

If you have kids and come to Galena, you already know about Poopsie's. If you're an adult and you haven't been in here, you still need to go. They've got something for everyone, and it's super fun to walk around the store and interact with the staff and the games. They've got a ton of stuff that you can play with while you're there, and the staff knows about everything there to offer up opinions on all their items. We stop in this place so often that I've lost count. Their content changes so heading in there is normally going to be somewhat of a new experience, and they've remodeled a bit to make it even easier to walk around and check things out. This place is normally super busy, but I did manage to get some pictures since we were the first ones in. It's absolutely a place to support, and they put in a great amount of effort to make sure you have the best experience in a brick-and-mortar store. It's a challenge to not leave with something in your hands. If you have kids, I'd say it's not possible - at least with mine :D read more

I've always loved shopping Poopsies in person (so much joy just wandering the store!) but I'm now also amazed by their online shopping! Ordered Monday afternoon, and the package arrived on Wednesday afternoon, with the item I ordered along with a note from the Poopsies team and a little treat. Excellent service, and shipping was just a fast as Amazon, but with the benefit of supporting a small company that gives back. Can't beat that! read more

This is a really fun store for kids...and adults! Poopsie's has a really nice selection of Jellycat plushies. Unfortunately, they didn't have the one I was looking for. The woman in the store was very nice and really encouraged me to call back for updates on new inventory. A nice idea, but not quite feasible when you're from out of town. If you're visiting Galena, definitely stop here! read more

So Poopsie's... Probably the quintessential flagship of a tourist stop if I had to pick one for Galena IL. When you think of Poopsie's other legenday landmarks like Wall Drug SD, any of the Bucc-ees, Dick's 5 & 10 in Branson MO etc. should spring into your mind... If you are looking for travel stickers, magnents, or souvenirs in general you can find it here. There is also a WIDE selection of general merchandise. Picture frames, toys, stuffed animals, and so on... The shop spans about half of that city block and is divided into three difference sections. I found their pricing to be fair, the staff was friendly, and there's a lot of things to look at. A lot of the shops in Galena are dog friendly. This is one of them so get too surprised when you feel something thumping against your leg and you look down and it's a tail (true story)... A definite must stop when you are in Galena IL! read more

What a fun store! Amazing selection of unique and quality products and so many fun customer service staff members to help you. Love this place!! read more

Fun eclectic store. Great friendly staff. Fun shopping experience, lots of retro stuff that brought back memories. Great place to hang out. read more

Super cute and fun store. The staff was exceptionally nice. Would definitely recommend checking it out.

This was one of our first stops and we weren't disappointed! An amazing selection for both young and old. The employees walking around and engaging with customers were some of the friendliest by far. Too bad we dont live closer, we would be "regulars". Keep up the great job! read more

My son had a blast at this store. He played with toys and didn't want to leave. I loved all the different learning toys they had. The staff was amazing with my son and took their time with him. read more

I called and placed an order with Marsha, for a Jellycat, Mortimer the Fox, he's adorable! Marsha was exceptionally helpful I received Mortimer today with a handwritten note from Marsha! Great customer service!! Thank you!! read more

Fun toy store! My kids always request a stop there and love picking out something to take home. Prices are ok. View it more as a fun shopping experience while in Galena rather than a great value. Staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a stop while in Galena - especially with kids. read more

Used to love this store but very disappointed after walking in to find little tadpoles in tiny containers. Poopsies is not a pet store and should not be selling live animals - clearly they don't know how to take care of them. Go back to your old ways poopsies! read more

So disappointed, I am a local and have loved shopping at this store but due to their enforcement of the ridiculous mask policy, I will not return. I was not alone. read more

Poopsie was a nickname some friends used to call me in high school so when I heard there was a store named Poopsie in Galena I just had to visit here! It was the end of the day and most stores on the strip had closed but Poopsie's was still open so we were thrilled. Immediately after walking in we heard someone whistling at us. It was a cute little gnome that motion censored to whistle. It was so cute and funny! It immediately lifted my spirits and wanted me to explore more of the store. There are so many unique items here from gag gifts, children gifts, home decorations, funny socks, etc. I was able to find a few items and the best part was that on the day I went they were offering 25% off all items to celebrate their anniversary. How lucky for us! The workers here were friendly and the store was pretty organized so things were easy to find. Can't wait to stop by here again when we visit Galena the next time. read more

We recently visited Poopsie's on our visit to Galena. The store was extremely charming & the staff was very helpful. There were so many unique items in the store that you do not see elsewhere. I felt that the prices were extremely fair. I did not buy much since I had my kids with me, but I was excited to find their website. I've already placed on online order & plan to continue shopping there in the future. read more

This is yet another spot in Galena that we really enjoyed. It has a hodgepodge of different art pieces, toys, games, and books that neither of us has seen before. Firstly, my Wife loved these pieces of art that immediately caught our eyes. An artist in Atlanta makes these tiles that resemble books with their width and length, and they have different images on the front. Along the sides, there are quotes written, and on the top it has the name of whomever is accredited for the quote. There are quotes from everybody such as Marilyn Monroe to Emily Dickinson. The store also had a lot of tactile items like fidgets, puzzles, and some very interesting board games. At first glance it looks like it's a store aimed mainly at kids, but it has such a wide array of items that most people in general will likely find something that catches their eye and attention. Lastly, the staff were fantastic. This is another spot where the staff appear happy to interact with you and and answer the many questions a person may have in such a unique store. read more

Best store in Galena! Every year my family comes to Galena during the holidays and both adults and kids always look forward to coming here to see what's new. The store has two sides, one for the adults and one for the kids. It has the latest for kids toys and games as well as great gift ideas like jewelry and candles to gag gifts and way more. The staff is also very interactive and friendly. If you are in town it is definitely worth a stop in. read more

One of the coolest toy stores I've ever been in terms of novelty, selection, and price. Friendly staff.

Highly recommended stop on the Galena main street strip with kids toys on one side and a more adult flavor on the other side. There are lots of toys out so you can try before you buy. The staff was very friendly and the store was pretty busy. I would also recommend going across the street to Spotsies which is the same owners and shop for a good cause. We loved that everything in that store supported a good cause. read more

Not gonna lie, this is like one of the cutest stores in all of downtown Galena, but it's a shame everything is so expensive. They really broke my heart with their pricetags. Every thing I found that I liked, I picked it up and looked at the price and then set it back down because I just can see spending $25 on a card game. I really hated not buying anything but if their prices were about 30% lower, I would have got some of my Christmas shopping done here. Perhaps they have an occasional sale...I'll check out their website, for sure. I look forward to my next trip out to Galena to find some time to dig a little more through Poopsie's!! read more

Great little store. First one to hit on the strip. The store clerk was kinda strange. Everything we looked at or picked up she made a comment about it. Kinda felt like she was watching us a little to closely. Everytime I looked up she was staring at us. Wierd... But still spent over 60 bucks here KIDS.... They have a little of everything and I noticed they had signs that said some proceeds go to different organizations hope it does. But noticed later on that several stores down the street have the same stuff pretty much same price too all and all good place read more

Love this place and amazing customer service! I recently visited from out of state and they set up shipping to my home and offered to add other purchases from stores on the street to the shipment as well. read more

With a name like Poopsies, clearly my friends and I had to take a look on our Saturday afternoon in Galena. Our expectations were shattered. Surprisingly, its not a weird Hooters-like bar. It's actually a toy store for all ages! Kind of like a locally owned Creative Kidstuff. You can make your own sparkly lip gloss, snuggle with a giant Chewbacca doll and find local art. If you're into that (who isn't?!), then stop in. read more

The store has an eclectic taste however a limited selection if it comes to toys. I would've given the store a higher review however their false signage pushed me the wrong way. The signs in the store say that they offer a 20% discount to teachers. Upon checking out I was asked what items in the store would be use in the classroom....the items that were purchased were for my girlfriend however if it is only specified to in classroom items they should specify this on their signage. If they're going to offer a discount to educators it should be universal to any item in the store it's a shame but this one event probably turned me the other direction we probably won't be back. read more

Poopsie's has to be my favorite family-owned shop along Galena's historic Main Street. It's not just another snooty boutique, but instead, a shop filled with gifts and souvenirs all ages (infants up) can enjoy. A few cool items I noticed were: -A wine glass that holds an entire bottle of wine -A quarter-holding keychain that has an alarm to set your remaining paid meter time -Paper shredding scissors -Golf club flamingos and other metal sculptures -My favorite stuffed animal collection, Giant Microbes Psst, if you look south from Poopsie's entrance, you have one of the best Main Street views of downtown with the clock tower in the hills above. read more

Best store in Galena! Fun gifts for every age. Magnetic sand, table hockey or soccer, floppy bunny rabbit winter hats, reader glasses, jewelry, unique games... They were playing neat 50's music and the staff was super friendly. read more

Ordering online from a small shop in a place I've never heard of, I was blown away by how fast my order was shipped and how it came double wrapped. I've never been to the actual store (looks awesome) but if you're ordering from Poopsie's online, feel good about it! Might not be my last time. read more

very amazing very fabulous 10/10 would recommend to everyone ever in existence. they have lots of stuff that is very cool such as stuffed animals and other things. read more

This store in Galena was super cute with unique gifts for all age. They sell cute jewelry too! A lot of gag gifts. It's right on Main Street and my favorite during our stay there. read more

Great service! The staff were super friendly and informative. We have gone back four times with the kids. The kids love it and keep wanting to go back each day. I highly recommend for great service, fun products and good prices. Family friendly. read more

Was rudely asked to wear a face diaper while others shopped without one. It's been 2 years, come on already let's move on.

The owner is so sweet. She opened early for us. It was pouring rain and she helped us out. Cute toy and gift store. Unique and fun items. Good for that person who is difficult to shop for. read more

When it came to the shopping in Galena, I expected a lot of antique shops. I hadn't really expected such a city-like gift shop that played on a lot of modern toys and gadgets for all ages. Two large rooms full of eye-grabbing items was all ours for the perusing on Friday afternoon. I held back on buying an item for my son in the store as this was one of our first stops so we returned on Saturday to pick up the item (and to look around a bit more) Not surprisingly, the store was far busier. In fact it was downright packed with customers! I kind of felt that the customers to employee ratio was a bit low. I certainly hope that they fix that for the summer when traffic is bound to increase dramatically. We spent a lot of time snickering over the items they carried. I can't even begin to name the types of items this store stocks. It is honestly one of those places you have to see for yourself. read more

Summary: A toy/novelty store in downtown Galena. It's not inappropriate for children, but they aren't the target audience (based on some of the novelties). It's the parents and grandparents buying things for children. Tons of eclectic and silly novelties, alongside educational toys and the like. Definitely a great way to spend 30 minutes while downtown. Impulse shopping is what keeps this place in business and based on how busy it was that's not a bad thing. I only pulled the fifth star because I have a toddler and this toy store was keeping plenty of the sharp and pointy items at his eye level. Not their fault he had a meltdown because I kept taking things away, but that's frustrating enough to stay fresh in my mind. read more

Poopsie's always seems to be the most crowded store on Galena's main street. On a nice weekend day, you often have trouble getting in the door. Poopsie's sells all kinds of fun stuff - so it's definitely worth a look around. My favorite days are the ones where they allow the customers to spin the wheel - the number you land on is the discount you get on your purchase. Great incentive to buy more :) When I'm in Galena and walking around the shops with my Mom, we always make sure to stop at Poopsie's. read more

Stopped into Poopsie's with my Chicago squadgoals on our annual Galena trip. It's like a Chicago novelty store, but gigantic, very well lit, cleaner than my living room on a day we're having company, and staffed by adorable teenage locals who are eager to engage with you. We bought some silly socks. read more

One of my all-time favorite stores in Galena! Great for the hard-to-buy-for person in your life. Some items are pricey, but the selection is great. There really is something for everyone! read more

Awesome gift shop! Perfect for kids and adults too! Their crazy toy selection will bring a smile to any kid's face. The other side of the store has more adult humor and gifts that are nice to get while enjoying your time in Galena. I'd recommend stopping in while in town! read more
