Gift ideas Chicago

Opened in 2011, this shop does not really fit into a single category.... It can be defined as a souvenir shop or a house of curiosities. The least we can do is to say that Judy Maxwell Home is eclectic, with her selection of unusual gadgets, her Chicago trinkets, her cups and books, sometimes crazy, sometimes informative. The owner is none other than the actress Joan Cusack, whom you may meet. A beautiful shop to find gifts to bring back in your suitcases.

Crate and Barrel is THE home furnishings, decor and accessories store in the United States. It's simple, you can find everything from dishes to storage accessories, garden furniture, bathroom knick-knacks, designer lighting, mirrors and wallpaper of all kinds. Since its opening on Michigan Avenue, this store has been drawing crowds of Chicagoans. If you're looking to give your living room an American feel back home, this is a must-see.
