The Children's Gift Shop is a full service retail store north of Chicago. Our mission is to provide an eclectic collection of unique books, games, puzzles, toys, arts and crafts, and many custom personalized gifts for ages birth to teens. We stock high-quality products, while offering a retail experience that shoppers just don't get in the "big box" stores , We know that "play is brain food" and we work extra hard to find products that stimulate and encourage creative play, and also hold the appeal for shoppers looking for something special. In addition we are a strong supporter of goodtogrowtoys.com, which we urge you to check out for insights into selecting the best toys for all developmental stages, and especially for children with specific disabilities.

Our on-line catalog features a constantly changing selection from our store of our many "bestsellers". If you are in the Chicago area you can visit us 7 days a week. We would love to meet with you and guide you to the perfect gift. Don't hesitate to call us for directions!
