The Unique Bowtique

This store is terrible, do not shop here. I use to shop here all the time, and now every time I go in everything is old and dirty. They sell things that have been in the store for years at full price. Also, I have had several order misplaced, or never order due to laziness. I have left several messages for the owner about this problem, and she never returns my calls and is never in the store. This place is a disaster don’t even bother stopping in.

I stopped in here with my sister and my friend last week because I had heard about this place and wanted to see how cute it was for myself. And cute it was, but really it was nothing special for me. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I would totally go back because they do have some «unique» items that you really can’t find other places, but it didn’t give me that wow factor that some stores do. But if you are looking for a unique gift for a new baby or for a cute addition to a baby shower gift, this would be a good place to look, but be ready to spend a little bit of money because they are a bit pricey!

Super cute store that sells unique boutiquey (hence the name I’m sure) brands (e.g., Petunia Pickle Bottom, Zutano). Oddly enough, even though this is a baby/​kid store, you can’t really maneuver a stroller around without knocking down a few displays.
They do sell a lot of cute things & you’ll have to restrain yourself from not spending a ton of money on things that you don’t really need. We bought a few hair bows from here that were just simply precious. I wanted to buy more, but $ 35 is a lot for 3 bows that my 7 month old will most likely rip out of her hair & lose!

When the owner was explaining the concept to me I thought, well just what Naperville needs another defunct toy store. First we had Toyscyles, then The Imaginarium — you can shop at Anderson’s, Oswalds, and Right Start — so why shop here?
Because its cute, because there are some unique toys, and because Toys R Us really screwed up when they went to kiosk style sections.
The owner has shopped out some unique Swedish toys, and the ever popular wood Toys from Melissa & Doug — including a very cute Sushi Set. I of course have to put down the Naperville Mom shirt because this town doesn’t need any more self-​glorification, but its still going to sell.
They do offer custom gift wrap for presents. And you know what, the prices arem’t half bad. Cheaper than Andersons by $ 5 on most of the Melissa & Doug items. This store is geared for inbetweenies — no longer young enough for Right Start, and not quite old enough for Toys R Us — the 3 – 6 year old set. They have a few very high end strollers. And I mean High End — my son’s stroller was a Graco $ 399 all terrain vehicle with pull out basket and set conversion for the car — the stroller I saw when last in here was a Rolls Royce to my BMW of strollers.
Upwards of $ 800 it came with a bassinet and matching diaper bag.
Cute little line of handmade jewelry from a local artist, Robeez shoes and high end kids crib bedding round the store off nicely. They have some of things you would expect to find In Lulu & Me (now out of business) with a mix of Gotskinds shoes & accessories and Anderson’s toys — at slightly better prices.
Don’t be fooled by the shutters and dim lighting, they are open, try the door.
