I’ve shopped at this wonderful neighborhood store since it first opened and have always had an amazing experience! This is our first stop for birthday gifts, holiday shopping or for picking up cards for any occasion. I love the diversity of artists represented and can always find something special for family and friends (or myself). We’ve ordered several of the handmade record crates - they are well made and look beautiful in our home. I particularly enjoy shopping for candles here, as well. The soy candles last a long time and smell great without being overpowering. I love the new online shopping option and appreciate their willingness to deliver or ship items. This is a fantastic store with a great selection of jewelry, cards, artwork and home decor. An added bonus - it is owned by kind and wonderful people (and the cutest puppy)!

Great personal gifts, support local and spend a bit more. The receiver will know you care when you purchase here.

This boutique is amazing. its my go-to spot for great unique gifts for any occasion. i was out of town for my friends birthday and ordered a present online for local delivery, i asked them to contact me before delivering to see if they could include a handwritten note in the card i bought. they were so sweet, responsive and happy to do it! they even gave me updates along the way prior to dropping off the gift so they ensured she got it. Lisa and Sean rock, i love that they support local artists and makes me happy to support small businesses. thanks Paperishmess!!

Beautiful place, lots of local artists works. See if you can find any jeweleries or paintings you want

I LOVE Paperish Mess. It is my go to for gifts, local art, and my treat yourself moments. Additionally, Lisa and Sean go ABOVE AND BEYOND - from delivering purchases to my door stop to handwritten notes to me - they always remember personal details about my life and always make sure to check in on me. I never forgot to bring any visitors to Chicago here to show them what kind of stores make West Town special.

My go-to local small business for gifts-they have the perfect card and present for every occasion + extremely welcoming staff. Love it!

Great neighborhood spot to pick up a gift for everyone in your life (even babies!). Excellent selection of local artists celebrating all things Chicago too. Also, they play rad music! Long live Paperish Mess!

This place is perfectly eclectic and hard not to buy something your first time inside. Great for Chicago themed decor as well as soaps and candles. Fantastic boutique for Chicago Ave
