    Shopped at this store after eating nearby. It was the perfect shop for me to grab a baby present for friend. Her little one was born right here in Gilbert and I was able to get a nice little onsie for him. Overall we had a good time in this store. The worker, Lydia was super sweet. She is recent transplant for North Carolina and quickly learning Arizona culture. She was so kind to wrap the gift. We had a fun time exploring this shop and trying on different hand creams. We also loved the free buttons given out here that focus on Arizona pride.

    Why I Love Where I Live is a women-owned boutique store that specializes in "goods to spark gratitude and curiosity while you find the beauty where you live." Why I Love Where I Live's founder, Kristin was born and raised in the Phoenix area and married a native Tucsonan, Alex. This WILWIL location opened in October in The Epicenter and is the second WILWIL location. The first one is in Tucson. The boutique features tons of locally made products such as candles, soaps, clothing, and more. There's a nice variety. They also have a section of local history books. I picked one up about Gilbert and have learned a lot about the history of Gilbert from it. I recently brought my husband to the store and he ended up purchasing a beautiful Arizona keychain, which he immediately used. The products are fairly priced and the service during both visits were great. Friendly and helpful. I love gifting local items to friends and family for special occasions, so I will definitely be back to shop!

    Okay, to be clear... the 2 stars is for the customer service. The merchandise is just adorable…read more Pricey, but hey...I chose to go there. I just went there today and there were 2 sales ladies in the store. Jenifer was the one that helped me and she was unenthusiastic, but friendly. The other lady was just flat out rude. I thought she was rude enough to enter in the address to this location and voice my feelings about it on yelp. She avoided eye contact with me and when I looked at her to ask if there were other locations in the valley, she looked away and waited for her coworker to answer me. She didn't greet me coming in and didn't bother saying goodbye when I left even though she saw me through the entire transaction. There were not that many other people in the store and she was just standing at the register. So, maybe I'm just overly sensitive today, but I can usually sense when people are deliberately being rude. Anyway, just a heads up. I guess that's why I shop consignment. I guess wasn't the same company they're probably use to catering to...which are moms in designer garb and fake tans. Oh well. At least I walked away with a really cute outfit...on sale! :)

    I have been personally shopping at this store for three years and it has always been a pleasure!…read moreTheir outfits are trendy and cute, and come in a plethora of different colors. And there are even styles available for older girls now (Tween) that the sales staff can order for customers with a really low shipping charge! (You can order them yourself online but the shipping charge is more.) As for price, I completely disagree with the other reviewer who said they were high. In my opinion, they are very, very reasonable. Go and see for yourself! The manager, Kate, is incredibly helpful as well as the other staff she has. I usually only deal with her though. She remembers me not only by my first name but also my last name, which is definitely not a common name. Totally blew me away the first time she did it! I have been buying Naartjie clothing online since my 11-year-old daughter was an infant. I was very excited when we moved to Gilbert and there was a store here. I have been nothing but happy with their customer service and selection.

    Had a little shopping splurge here, thanks to one of the perks of our AMEX platinum card. We…read morereceive a $75 quarterly credit, so I figured it was time to put it to to good use especially with its $895 annual fee. I was so busy shopping that I completely forgot to take pictures which is a first for me! I ended up finding a gorgeous black jacket with beautiful gold trim and it's absolutely stunning. It has that polished elevated look that makes a simple outfit feel luxurious. And apparently I have to go back in a couple months to use the next $75 credit:) even without the credit, this is definitely a store to splurge on something special. The service was fine, nothing memorable but the selection and quality made for a very enjoyable shopping experience.

    My first time walking around San Tan Village found me at this Lululemon location. Of course I had…read moreto take a peek inside! The store is very well kept up, everything was in its place and the employees were friendly. Even the sales racks were neat and orderly. I didn't make a purchase this time because I'm trying to resist temptation, lol. Mission proudly accomplished!! BUT.. I will find myself back here again very soon, and there will be no stopping me then, haha! The variety is good, and they have a good amount of fitting rooms. I fell in love with a turquoise claw clip, but fought the urge to buy it!! Their clips are pretty sturdy, so they're well worth the price. Thanks Lululemon, I'll be back soon! ;)

    I bought some things for my sister from here 2 years ago when she had her first kid at 50. I was…read moreshocked at some of the prices for some items back then and was selective. What I've discovered now that my son is having his first child, prices have definitely gone up with the same quality. Honestly, you're better off buying it new on Temu or SHEIN. At least is brand new and the prices are way cheaper than the stores. And if you're worried about manufactured in China, then remember everything in your big box stores like Walmart, Target and the Baby stores also get their stuff from China. You're just cutting out the middleman.

    My friend suggested selling kids' clothes and toys here. This Gilbert location seems to be a lot…read morepickier than other Once Upon A Child stores in the valley on what they would buy. The store is located near a Goodwill, so whatever they do not buy, I donate. We brought a gently used toy, but was told that they couldn't find it online to accurately price it (strange since it was a toy from last Christmas). When you drop off your items to sell, you will need your Driver's License. A $5 coupon is printed on the receipt, but it is off the purchase of $25 or more (I had to ask since it didn't say). You can wait there or receive a text when they have reviewed what they would like to buy. The average wait times whenever I drop off items to sell has been at least three hours. You can not leave your items overnight. Overall, the staff was friendly and helpful. If you want more money for your items, I would not sell here. I prefer not to deal with Facebook marketplace and will continue to come here.
