Amy’s Hallmark Shop

Best Hallmark in the area. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I’ve never had anything but good experiences at this store.

As a former American Greetings employee,
I feel like a traitor saying that I love this store. The staff is always friendly. We had our wedding invitations printed at this location and the woman who guided us through the process was unbelievably helpful. And the invitations turned out great!

I got my wedding invitations at this Hallmark in Vernon Hills.
We ordered from the M. Middleton Catalog, which is only available through Hallmark stores.
Reasonably priced, fantastic-​looking invitations with fancy printing and paper.
Really excellent, especially after seeing so many online places you can buy flat, can’t-see-it-before-you-buy-it, but as expensive as catalog prices for wedding invitations!
Whatever invitations you go with, for goodness’ sake do this part of your wedding planning and ordering in person. You won’t regret it.
I’m very glad my mom brought me in here (semi-​against my will) to see what they had. It was well worth the trip and we had fantastic invitations!

Hallmark has a great selection of cards fit for any occasion. They also carry a variety of gifts ranging from decorated wine glasses, stuffed animals and figurines.
I typically will stop by if I’m shopping at other stores in the area. I don’t make a trip just to go here since so many other places like grocery stores and department stores carry a selection of cards. Price wise, it varies on the type of card you get so I can’t really say if it is expensive or not.
The staff I’ve interacted with have always been helpful and friendly. They always offer a Crown card, which I always decline. The cashier working the last time I visited actually asked to see my ID, which is printed on the back of my debit card. Unfortunately, I did not have it with me since I forgot to bring it. Thankfully she was kind enough to trust me and let me go.
However, I would prefer to buy cards that are locally made and more unique than the offerings that Hallmark has to offer. That said, I still would stop by if I was in shopping in the area and needed to buy a card for someone.

Very nice Hallmark shop! Love that it’s «outside» the mall — so from an access standpoint, it’s easy to get into and out of, quickly. The store is bright, and always organized nicely. Always very clean, and the associates are always friendly –they greet you right when you walk in, and ask if they can help you.
They’ve got some really cute things. Nice selection of cards, and little gifts.

I know it might be strange to love a Hallmark store, but the ladies that work here are so sweet. And that helps, believe me.
They carry lots of Peanuts character items, which are a family favorite for us. Makes a lot of my gift shopping for mom so easy, and who wouldn’t love that.
They have Peanuts Tervis Tumblers for heaven’s sake! That got them 3 stars. I love Snoopy, I love Tervis Tumblers… I’m a happy girl.
They also have angry birds, which makes my boyfriend happy.
The cards… of course. You need not look anywhere else. And they have high quality gift-​wrapping supplies. The wrapping paper has a grid printed on the back so you can actually cut straight lines. The paper is nice and heavy, and creases well, so your gifts don’t look like garbage under the Christmas tree or in front of a recipient on their special day.
I’m editing this review to say that I’m annoyed at this location. They tend to close earlier than the time posted on their door, and they now have a sign posted on the door (not over the permanently posted hours mind you) with shorter hours. I took away two stars for this because before they «changed» their hours they were still locked up almost an hour before the posted close time.
