When I said to the older gray hair woman if they had anything for Hanukkah she said there's no Jewish people in Park Ridge and she's never seen one since she lived there! What a stupid statement how would she know that for a fact I'm Jewish I would be remissed if I didn't say everyone was rude the others included the owner was very nice and helpful! I love the unique style of there gifts! I was just very shocked by what the women said it really upset me she should have none better. I don't know what year she's living in but I know several Jewish people living there. She's very uneducated about what's going on in this world and should have a more open mind It was so upsetting to me! I really loved the story unfortunately I will never shop there again it was a antisemitism comment we all need to love each other and think twice what we sty! read more

I called this store looking for a specific product to buy as a gift for my wife. The worker told me they did not currently have it in stock but could order it. I told her I needed it very soon. She was very polite and recommended another store nearby that she thought would have the product. She was correct, I wouldn't have found it without her! I really appreciate their honest, helpful staff! read more

Sometimes I have a problem buying gifts. As in I often follow the one for you, one for me rule. Oh well, I'm stimulating the economy, right? Raffia seems to be the quintissential gifty place. It's chock full of delightful smells and goodies. Beautiful and funny cards, Catherine Popesco jewelry, local magnets, funny trinkets like travel air freshener ("poo pourri"), locally made tees from Megan Lee designs, scarves, wallets, and even delicious snacks! Prices are a tad high but that seems to be typical for gift type locales. So, if you find yourself traipsing around Park Ridge and you need a gift for someone at some point, do stop in and check out Raffia! read more

Raffia Gifts - Cute phone wristlet - Home Decor Near Me - Park Ridge, Illinois

Well, I'm sure I would like Raffio Gifts if I could get in. My wife is out of town for a few days and wanted to get her a gift that I saw online Raffia is one of the only places in the area to have. I work in downtown Park Ridge, so I went this past Saturday after work at 3:30pm knowing they're open til 5. I walk up to the door which has the hours stating open til 5, and a big "OPEN" hanging sign..... yet the lights are all off and the door is locked. No one is there. Today their hours are Noon-4. I wised up this time and called ahead figuring I'd probably be left out in the cold again if I ventured to the store again today. 3 calls and an hour later and still no answer. No phone message saying they've closed for another reason, no explanation. Maybe I'm asking for too much, but I figure that if hours are online, in your window, and a sign is hanging that says "OPEN," you should probably be open. Sufficed to say I'm going to be looking elsewhere for the gift for my wife. read more

Unique gifts and cute things for home. Priced kinda high but it's a small business so I get it. I got some really great coasters and magnets that were a smash hit. Unfortunately, one of the magnets has broken through no fault of my own. They looked relatively durable so could be just a fluke. read more

Love this place for any gifts I need!!! So unique and I never leave here without buying something. My favorite place to shop.

I've been stopping in here for years now, and not much has changed - and that's both good and bad. The store is huge inside and carries a bunch of different cutesy gifts - perfect for last second shopping. There's bath and body, jewelry, stationary, holiday, etc. My main prob with the store is the employees. I remember times as a teenager when I walked up to the counter w/ purchase in hand and the girls working there just carried on their convo totally oblivious to me. Umm...I may be skinny, but the tomato red hair - kinda hard to ignore. This, coupled with the fact that I've always thought they were a little pricey, allows my cheap ass to find something I like, run home, and buy it cheaper online - easily saving at least 30% w/ no guilty feelings. And just yesterday I walked in, waved, did the whole "hi, how are you?" thingie - I can't believe I totally just used thingie like it's a real word - and was ignored. Guess some things never change. read more

Very rude. The staff never greets me when I walk in. They are sooooo over priced! Skip this shop and go where you are appreciated!

I love this little shop! It's full of a wonderful selection of items and gifts for yourself or someone else. The prices are a little high, but the sales are great!! read more

There is a reason this gift store has been around for so long! They have the best selection of tabletop, cards, jewelry and so many other gift ideas! Fun scarves, bags, the list is endless. The help is always friendly and accommodating. I have been here many times and always find something. Parking in the area is a bit crazy though, just make sure you watch the limits for how long you can park. read more

Yes, I've stopped here for last minute gifts, so this store has come in handy for me. There are some nice and unique items here. However, I've found many items to be overpriced, and the sales people are NOT friendly and not helpful, which is hard to understand. I have stopped in many times over the years and can't remember ever being greeted when I walk in, and it's not that big of a store. Maybe things have improved there, since it is still in business in Park Ridge. Haven't been there this year and don't miss it. read more

This shop has the cutest gifts to buy anyone! The shop owner is very friendly, and helped me choose some hard to buy for people ...and they loved each and every gift! I think shopping local is very important these days too! read more
