My favorite place to spend $! Im here for every holiday and birthday since theres so much cool and cute stuff that youre bound to find something for any occasion and any person. The best person to shop for here is ME; I never fail to find something I like, wether its a new Oracle deck, funky socks, cute stickers an adorable mug, a kite, stationary, Snoop Doggs cookbook, or unique jewelry! The employees here are super friendly and fun, too. Shop here and your only regret will be how much money you spent because you couldnt say no to all of the little funky thing you saw.

This place is fun. I loved coming here when I was younger because I got to play with weird stuff and no one yelled at me. Now I like to go there when I need to get a present because I can always find something unique.

I remember always passing by this shop when I was a little girl. I always begged my mom for us to go in a take a quick look. I recently had a dream about that experience and Im hoping I can visit soon! Because I remember buying some ink stamps and they were my prized possession. I no longer have them, but the memory of going to this little shop still lives with me 🥲💖

Fantastic and unique gifts for any occasion! The store itself is an amazing little escape to just get lost in. There is so much to see at every twist and turn, that you might take longer looking than you realize. :) And did I mention, the lovely lady that works there (I believe she is the owner) wraps your gifts as you continue to browse. Yes, you read that right, friendly and efficient!! Definitely try this shop for your holiday shopping, you will not be disappointed!

I purchased a dress from RR#1 and I LOVE it. Ill be honest though...I thought the price of this particular dress was a bit high so I looked online to find the original sellers price. The original sellers site is actually wholesale BUT they list the price of this dress for HALF the price of whats found in RR#1. I was really disappointed. I totally understand businesses need to make money, but I dont agree with hiking up the price of products. Seems like a ripoff. I found it interesting that the other product I purchased was fairly priced. It pretty much matched the original sells price point. It would be nice if all the products are at a REASONABLE cost. Anyways, cute decorations, helpful employees, and lots to look through. I just have a bit of advice, check the prices of the products in the store and compare them to what is online. Just make sure you arent getting ripped off.

This place is an absolute hidden gem! The cutest little shop one ever did see— you could get lost in there for hours (or even days!) they have everything you could imagine, all kinds of trinkets, gifts, and more, galore! Christine is the kindest and most helpful associate— thank you for your welcoming spirit and helpfulness. She gift wrapped the most amazing gifts for one of my best friends. I will definitely be recommending this shop to everyone I know!

RR1 is the place if you are looking for unique items. From hats to mugs to cosmetics to decorations to jewelry - and pretty much anything in between. Lovely and quirky, unpretentious and friendly, a great destination for uncommon gifts. The prices are not exactly low, but they are justified, i believe, given the fact that the merchandise is fun and seems to be pretty good quality.

Love this place SOOOOO much! Great staff helped me pick out most of my gifts this year. Plus, our battery died in front of the place and someone who pulled up to shop there dropped everything to give us a jump. So really nice customers, too!

A beautiful work- of- art kite? Check. A great t shirt you wont find anywhere else? Check. Incredible lotions and perfumes, quirky books, one of a kind jewelery... All this and more, I am never at a loss for what to buy here. My only challenge is deciding if its going to be for me or a gift. And the people who work here are so wonderful. Theres such a special feeling in this place.

This hidden gem has plenty of cute chic, vintage and cool stuff for everyone.I almost gave up when I couldnt find the right card to give to my boyfriend after searching in two gift shop boutique in Chicago until I tried Google map search and found this gift shop. It had the perfect card for a guy. I was talking to the owner when I was ready to pay and he pointed out a small vintage souvenir type that was the perfect match for the card and my boyfriends personality. Thank you!!

I love this store! RR #1 is packed with all kinds of goodies and curiosities to satisfy every taste. Looking for a unique baby item or gift for a child? Youve come to the right place. Need to expand your collection of mustaches? Bingo. Really into skulls and/or Halloween? This is your jam. Youll find everything from clothing to kitchen/housewares to outdoor items to toys to handmade soaps and lotions. This place literally has everything. Also, the staff is chatty and friendly and usually offer you a beer when you walk in. And during Christmas time, the whole upstairs becomes a winter wonderland. Check this place out!

Always full of the most beautiful things, and way better than the internet or a catalog since you can actually touch the fabrics and smell the fragrances. They have everything you never knew that you needed.

A cute little shop of assorted knick-knacks and (for lack of a better word) hipstery things. They have beauty products, home decorations, clothing, and glassware just to name a few things. Besides the wide variety of items, the other great part is that the prices are great, which I havent experienced very often in these types of shops. The owner is also very friendly.
