I love a good punny name, this one based upon the name of the neighborhood (Ravenswood). I've driven by Ravensgoods so many times; if it wasn't here before I moved to the neighborhood, it opened shortly thereafter. This very tiny shop has a variety of items that would be perfect if you need to pick up a gift for someone. They have candles, greeting cards, jewelry, and several baby items. I ended up buying a cute little onesie that has is designed to look like the Chicago flag but with hearts in place of the stars. it's so cute and I can't wait to put it on my little ones. They had several other onesies that were cute. I mentioned to the shopkeeper that I wanted to get a little bean onesie, and she mentioned they carry them but they sell out so quickly and the woman who she gets them from is backed up in stock.It makes sense to me because they're adorable! I didn't realize they had them here so it's good I could pick it up from here if I can't find it elsewhere. Parking is on the street BUT you're in luck because the Brown Line station is half a block away. There's also street parking on Damen and possibly the surrounding streets (not sure, but because it's near a train station I'd suspect it might be permit parking on the side streets). read more

A surprisingly affordable gem in the Ravenswood neighborhood. Truly, there are tons of wonderful finds here, and while some handmade pieces from local artists are pricey, everyone can find something special within their price range here. The salesperson was extremely friendly, nice, and helpful, and the atmosphere was quaint and unique, without seeming pretentious. I particularly loved the jewelry, the felted mittens, and the knitted hats. Very sweet! read more

Lulu (lil Nina) and her staff are simply THE BEST Love working wit cha !!! Tony

Walking around Ravenswood is always a joy in the springtime. Blooming flowers, sidewalk families and corner pubs make it what it is. However, it gets even better when new shops like Ravensgoods (crafty name, I know!) pop up around town. If you're ever feeling like buying yourself, a friend or a visitor something fun and unique, check this place out! Almost everything they have is locally made and full of Chi-town pride. Chicago flag and CTA El pins (for all those hipsters out there), recycled CTA map made into a water- & tear-proof wallets, antique Chicago maps, fashionable jewelry, onesies and tote bags designed by the owner herself, and much, much more. If you have visitors from out of town come in to the Windy City, be sure to take them here for a little souvenir or gifts for back home. Prices are very reasonable and best of all, the products are of local origin and originality! Psst...One of the most adorable things are the logo pins for free at the counter and how each and every receives an ink stamp. read more

Took advantage of the great weather this weekend to take a local shopping trip in the neighborhood and stumbled across this adorable shop - what a great find! The store itself is small, but tastefully decorated with pretty light lanterns and the merchandise is beautifully styled and arranged. Great place to pick up pretty and unique decorative items for your home or gifts. They had many candles, unique glass jars, frames, jewelry and cute scarves. The best part: we were blown away by how affordable everything was! Jewelry for a little over $10, pretty glass jars for under $10, etc. Also, the girl at the store was really sweet and helpful, yet not overbearing at all which I can really appreciate at little stores like this where I want to take my time and browse. My only tiny gripe was that there was some unused shelving and extra space in the shop where more merchandise could be displayed. Will definitely be back here to pick up unique gifts and even treat myself to some accessories for myself and my home. read more

Adorable boutique on Damen. Agree with other reviews that their merchandise is surprisingly affordable (under $20). Really cute owl and bird jewelry pieces. Went in for a gift for a girlfriend, but wanted to buy many gifts for myself! If you buy a gift, be sure to get it gift-wrapped - they do a great job! read more

Adorable store, great prices! A perfect place to buy unique gifts or a little treat for yourself. I even smile when I walk past this store after it's closed because it's so cute and well merchandised. The first time I went there, they had a table full of stuff that was $2! I bought two nice jar candles for $2 each. And I can't help it, I just love the name :) read more

What a wondeful find! And right across the street from my favorite coffee shop- The Perfect Cup. I wandered in last weekend and I was delighted by the charming collection of uusual gift items. Very reasonable prices as well. Can't wait to get back to do a little serious shopping. My parking meter was about to expire and I was bereft of quarters! Gotta love the city ... Yeah right!

I love Ravensgoods!!!! Besides the fact that the name is super cute, the store is also very cute. I casually passed by one day and discovered this little secret on damen. The way to best describe their store is everyday things with a twist. For example you I saw this book that looked like something from my childhood but inside the pages were blank and made out of repurposed paper. They also have all natural handmade body scrubs, cool purses, unique jewlery and the list goes on and on. Basically when you go there you know that what you are getting is one of a kind. P.S.-----Highly recommended for gifts when you don't know what to get :) read more

I was looking for unique candle scents, and found the best high quality candles in different sizes at this lovely gift shop in Ravenswood. Lulu was very helpful, and inviting. There is a variety of special gifts for every occasion, including nice jewelry pieces. I loved the calm and relaxing vibe. It was a very enjoyable shopping experience. Highly recommended! read more

We did all of our Christmas shopping here. Not only did we get beautiful art & jewelry and soaps and at great prices, we supported a local store supporting local artists. These very friendly, helpful artists also staff the store, so they can answer all of your questions. read more

This might be the cutest store ever and the best part is that it is walking distance from my apartment. I went in and the owner was so friendly and helpful without being pushy you totally felt free to browse and her daughter happened to be there which just added another layer of flipping adorable. Everything was pretty affordable and a lot of it was locally made so there won't be 200 people running around with you necklace! they have a little bit of everything and I definitely plan on going back soon. Also if you want to check out some of their stuff without actually going in they have an Instagram as well. read more

I would love to write an actual review for Ravensgoods. However, it would be impossible as on two separate occasions now, I have ventured and it's been unapologetically closed. How is this good business? Saturday, September 14 they had a nice little handwritten sign saying they would be closed. I guess I wont ever find out what the other four and five star reviewers have come to love, because apparently you're doing well enough that during your posted hours you can just be closed. Maybe you figure, hey, everyone has the opportunity to stop by during working hours during the week? I don't, but being you were closed with a handwritten sign on a Saturday, I don't think you'll care about losing one customer. Now I will go ahead and click the "Not sure" box for Good for Kids, and I might as well mark the pictures as Helpful, being that's about as much as I have experienced. read more

I can't tell ya how much I love this place! Super cute, quirky, gifty goodness! The owner is a sweetheart with excellent taste and she is always on the look out for new things!! Go shop there! read more

I finally ventured in to pick up a last minute gift. I was looking for a votive candle to complete my gift, but alas no candles (yet). But I found an adorable reusable tote for my mom, really cool earrings made from electrical fuses for my sister, (she's a scientist and loved them) and a super frickin cute rhinestone owl necklace for myself. The owner Lulu wrapped the gifts with care and used ric-rac to tie the boxes. I love ric-rac. I also love finding another soul who can't stop saving little wooden boxes, cigar boxes, and vintage crates. The store is small, but has a wonderful selection of jewelry, baby items, stationary, milk glass, bags, toy robots, and other interesting items. Many items are under $25, so this is going to be my go to place for gifts. read more

What a lovely addition to the neighborhood. I came in looking for locally made gifts and had quite a bit of success here. The owner was polite, friendly, and helpful. The store is oozing with charm and the merchandise is mostly original and reasonably priced. No detail has been overlooked. Even the bags, ribbon, and tags are nicely designed. And I loved, loved, loved the glass bead on the bag! What a sweet little touch. I will be back! read more

Nice place to find gifts for any occasion. Everything is really reasonably priced, and they have a ton of unique pieces. They have a lot of soaps, bath salts, lotions, purses, etc. The store might be tiny, but can find something for everyone in here. The sales people are incredibly nice and very helpful. read more

This is my go-to shop for gifts for friends, although I rarely leave without buying something for myself! I like the unique and inexpensive jewelry. They always have something like lip glosses in cute containers, soaps, candles, scarves, etc. Most of what they sell is locally made. The owner is friendly and interesting, and is helpful in a non-hovering way. read more

Ravensgoods is very cute. I stopped in on Father's Day because I needed to buy a card for my dad- oops. They had a very cute card collection for various events. They also had a good selection of knick knack type gifts. I ended up buying a cute flask for a friend's birthday. They also had a very nice selection of jewelry and soaps. I suppose the thing that surprised me most were the prices. I was expecting everything to be outrageously overpriced since it's a boutique, but I found everything in there to be fairly reasonable. Overall, it's a cute place for knick knack type gifts at a reasonable price. read more

A friendly neighborhood proprietor, and charming, unique merchandise by Chicago artisans. This is virtually the ideal local gift shop. Its not situated in the "main street" of Lincoln Square but convenient to the Damen El, and across from the popular Perfect Cup coffee house. This is a small business hoping to grow big. I always enjoy my trips there and hope people will give it look before mindlessly heading to Target for that hard-to-buy-for relative. read more

I stumbled upon this place when I went to Hoard Antiques (also awesome!) and not only was everything in this place adorable, but it was all reasonably priced! I got an awesome vintage style map of Chicago for $4! And for some reason I convinced myself not to get the most adorable earrings that were only $8! It doesn't get any better! The owner, Lulu, is also the friendliest, cutest woman I've ever met. You have to try to this place! It's perfect for cute, unique jewelry and gifts. read more

Fun, fun finds. Energetic neighborhood-centric owner, Lulu is always looking for cool little nicknacks, to fill her darling store, including jewelry, home decor, teas and soaps...There are always thoughtful gifts and self indulgences for really realy reasonable prices. People love the gifts that I have given them from here and everything is able to be packaged in a darling way. Don't miss the store's private label line of sarcastic-but-sweet greeting cards. read more

This place is absolutely adorable and shockingly affordable. I wish it was just a bit bigger, however, so that there can be more amazing products and more maneuvering space. read more

Love this store! The owner is so helpful whenever I go in. I always find great gifts for whatever occassion I'm looking for that day. I recently bought this adorable Chicago baby onesie. The owner mentioned she's adding more baby items which I was excited to find out since I'm always searching for last minute baby gifts. Definitely recommend it whether you're looking for cute jewelry, baby items, etc. read more

This is one of those stores that you want to move into. It's cute and strikes the right balance of "space to explore/move around" and "merchandise I want to buy/see." I haven't bought anything here that has not been complimented when worn, used, displayed, or given. read more

Cute little neighborhood store on Damen in Ravenswood. They don't usually have a huge variety of merchandise, but they stuff they do have is great! I was really surprised by how affordable much of their stuff is (necklaces for $10-15, vintage posters for under $10). Really great prices. There are a few other shops (Orange Beautiful is new) and antique stores on Damen that would make Ravensgoods worth the trip. read more

A little off the beaten Lincoln Square path but worth the walk, especially since it is right there with Orange Beautiful, Perfect Cup, Amy's Candy Bar... wonderful little items for gifts, stocking stuffers, to add to the bouquet of flowers for Valentine's Day, etc. Very friendly help. And really surprising prices; you don't have to spend a lot of money to get nice things whether it's jewelry or any of the other gifts here. This is one place I can pretty much count on for unusual items that make people smile (and have a purpose!). Check it out. read more

Beautiful storefront on Damen. They carry a variety of unique and affordable gift items. Lovely jewelry and handmade knits (gloves, scarves, hats). The store is cozy and the owner is really sweet and very friendly. I stopped by one evening and they were also displaying art by local artists. This is my go-to place if I want a unique gift - and I love supporting the local businesses in the area. read more

Ravensgoods is an adorable little store just off the Damen Brown Line. They sell a fun assortment of gifts from inexpensive jewelry to cute little baby onesies to Chicago neighborhood maps. The atmosphere is fresh and very inviting and the staff is helpful and friendly. I bought a pair of vintage earrings there the other day and they only cost $8! I will be going back! read more
