G Whiz

I have been shopping here for years and I have seen it evolve. I miss Vera Bradley but I understand that there was a disagreement between the owner and company representative which is too bad but understandable. Jan and the rest of the staff is always eager to help and make excellent gift recommendations. They now carry Tervis which I was delighted to discover. I wanted a University of Florida Tervis and Jan offered to order it for me, so I wouldn’t have to pay shipping and so I could use my gift card, at no extra charge. I ordered two and sure enough, she called as soon as they were in. I miss that kind of dedication to the customer. The jewelry selection is quite unique with Pandora and Brighton taking up much of the space. They also carry Judith Jack and some more eccentric pieces. Whenever I am in Barrington, this place is a must even if I’m not really shopping for anything in particular.

Staff was friendly and there was a good selection of gifts and goodies. I’m not a fan of Brighton, but there is plenty of other stuff to browse.

Interesting, but pricey. Still worth to stop by. Some items there are worth getting. Its a little cluttered though.

Jan and her staff are always eager to help you find the perfect present – and what’s so great about them is that they always do! They can special order practically anything. They have some stuff you’ve never seen before. You can pick up a personalized gift on the fly. G. Whiz is awesome. Only one disclaimer – it’s sort of tough to shop for a guy here.

This store saved me this Christmas! I still had to shop for almost ALL the women in my family. Walked in to G Whiz and found everything I needed! Great Store with the most friendly staff. From the moment I walked in I was greeted and told to ask if I needed anything. I found a bunch of great items and they gift wrapped every one of them!
