Full of interesting gifts and knick knacks!! From books, bags blind boxes to gag gifts, sunglasses, to bongs, candles and flower growing kits, funky lighters, even cannabis candies and so forth. It is pricey but if it’s in your budget it’s a super lovely fun place to look around and get a gift or something cute for yourself. Lovely staff too 😊

This shop is perfectly located near the hostel I always stay at when visiting and across the street from the L line metro station. I came here twice this trip and will be making Friends a routine stop for trinkets for myself and souvenirs for my loved ones. On my first stop I took it all in and was quickly able to find things for myself and my partner. On my second trip I required some assistance for finding a birthday gift for my nephew whos like my baby brother as he turned 24 while I was in town. I told some staff members that I was looking for something that was a nod to our childhood together, but also acknowledged that he is a young man. I was helped by two staff members the first staff member I didnt catch her name gave me an indepth tour of the store based the information I gave her. She gave me a lot of options to consider so when I was still stumped at finding the "perfect" souvenir I asked another staff member for help. Destiny listened closely to what I said and helped me narrow down the many ideas I had for my nephew. I settled on two gifts the first one was a cook book by snoop dog that the first staff memeber pointed out to me as a good option and a candle with a neutral but cleansing scent that Destiny showed me. All and all the staff at this place are very helpful and I had a wonderful experience. Pictured are some fun things they have in store! Wish I took more pictures of the store lol
Super fun! Great selection of little trinkets, gifts, and on-trend items. The go-to place to get a last minute birthday or housewarming present for your friend’s friend. IMO, they had a better curation ~2-3 years ago. More variety of items, secondhand clothing, and items from small businesses/artists. It seems that they’ve replaced a lot of displays with blind boxes & squishies (which I get, that’s what sells right now), but some of the soul was definitely removed.
I've gone here a couple times and always end up leaving with something new. Cool trinkets and is definitely worth checking out with friends, some items are a little pricey but worth it. They have a big selection of collectables like Sonny Angels, Smiskis, and many other blind boxes.
My husband took me here for my bday. I love this place! They have so much stuff and i feel like a little bit or something for everyone
