Bye Bye Chicago

Seeing as how there are almost 0 souvenir shops near the tourist attractions, this one will suffice as its across the street from Millennium Park. The selection of goods are not extremely vast but they do have unique shot glasses which I thought were nice. They also have a decent array of Al Capone themed items.
I felt this store was kind of expensive compared to other tourist traps in NY but then I need to remember, there is no major ocean port near by & transport for these goods are high when coming by rail.
So I would suggest coming here because it’s cheaper than what you’ll find at the airport but you’ll only be able to find gifts for a select few.

I would like to give Jonny Gieselman Buyer, a shout-​out for the way my purchase problem was resolved. I brought a pretty pink flask as a Christmas gift. However when I returned home to Portland Oregon and removed the purchase tag. there remained the sticky glue substance from the purchase tag and could not remove the glue without damaging the flask. I returned the flask with a request to replace it and along with my postage cost.
Jonny immediately sent back to me both a new flask without a purchase tag and the cost of my postage. I appreciate the way Bye Bye Chicago resolve customer complaints and will shop their whenever I go to «The Windy City».

Better selection than the competition and the prices are what you’d expect. Better than any other shop in the immediate vicinity for Chicago memorabilia that isn’t sports-​related.

My daughter found the «perfect» Chicago sweatshirt, it wasn’t at «tourist shop» rip-​off prices and service was good.
You know what you’re getting when you walk in the door you just need to make the decision of what you walk out with!

Selection isn’t too big, and of course things tend to be overpriced, but I was finally able to find a basic t-​shirt with the Chicago flag (I don’t get those are so hard to find!), so I left a happy shopper.
It’s in a convenient location, which is also nice (can easily stop by on your way to Millennium Park, which I’m sure if you’re a tourist you’ll want to visit anyway).
The staff was also friendly and helpful.

I felt like these stores were kind of everywhere in downtown. Cute stuff for tourists to purchase as souvenirs. Since it’s on the main street, you will come upon this shop while walking from the museum or Millenium park to any riverboat tour you plan on taking.
This place is overflowing with just stuff and it’s all under one roof so once you walk in, you’re pretty much going to buy at least 1 item from here.

A one-​stop tourist shop. There were a few cool/​unique items, but a lot of the things can also be found other places such as navy pier and even local Walgreens.
This place is definitely at least worth a peek though because there were a few unique items. Pricing was comparable to other souvenir shop items.

If you’re going to be trying to get from point A (Hancock Center) to point B Millennium Park, you will be walking past Bye Bye Chicago.
It’s a total tourist trap but who can resist baby cubs gear? Well, my dorky self cannot. So I ran in there, grabbed some baby tee inscribed with «my first cubs shirt» and squeezed to the checkout. It’s awfully tight in the store but they seem to have anything you may want if you were a tourist or know someone who is or someone who just loves Chicago filled stuff.
I’m giving them an extra star because the guy at the register was patiently trying to «run my United Gold card» a few times and it wouldn’t go through? There’s a line forming around me cause there’s not much room to form behind me. «What? It’s a new card! Oh, yea, that’s my United gold card, not my gold CREDIT CARD. Oops. Ah, here is the real credit card». He smiles, hands over the bogus card and continues with «it’s OK, it happens». Yea right, it happens to me.
