Surprised!

by jwatts1976

I just moved to the Portage Park neighborhood about a week ago and am trying to visit every local business. Elemental Gifts was first on my list (just yesterday), since it was highly recommended by my neighbor. I needed a gift for a female friend and I am extremely grateful to have a shop like this in my area. It took me a while to find just the right thing, since they have such a diverse selection. I finally settled on a pair of handmade earrings by a Chicago designer. The (young) lady that owns the shop is great and she did an amazing gift-wrapping job. I will definitely be coming back.....perhaps even for that signed Hester jersey (drool). And maybe even to have some framing done or to buy art to put in my new place.

• Pros: Selection, look and feel of the interior, service
• Cons: none that I noticed

Great and unique experience

I was buying a gift for my mother's birthday in October. Everyone was so helpful that I did not have to spend to much time looking for a perfect present. I realized that this is a wonderful place to get something for everyone's taste. My girlfrien'd birthday is coming up. I will be there again.
