Ravensgoods

This is an extremely thoughtful and welcoming shop in Ravenswood. It is a great place to find a little gift for anyone [or to treat yourself]. The products range from affordable jewelry, custom cards, home décor, and of course some perfect Chicago-​themed items.
The woman who owns the shop has a beautiful eye for display and products. I find myself in there for longer than most admiring the beauty and taking in the good vibes.

Ravensgoods is very cute. I stopped in on Father’s Day because I needed to buy a card for my dad– oops. They had a very cute card collection for various events. They also had a good selection of knick knack type gifts. I ended up buying a cute flask for a friend’s birthday. They also had a very nice selection of jewelry and soaps. I suppose the thing that surprised me most were the prices. I was expecting everything to be outrageously overpriced since it’s a boutique, but I found everything in there to be fairly reasonable. Overall, it’s a cute place for knick knack type gifts at a reasonable price.

It’s easy to pass by Ravensgoods without giving it a second thought. Its tiny storefront and location next to Rail overshadow it but you really should stop in. This cute little place has a ton of interesting and quirky stuff. Half of the décor in my apartment is probably from this store. They have an awesome selection of vintage maps of Chicago rail lines. I have two framed next to my couch above me as I type this review. All of their home décor items are unique and really reflect not only the city of Chicago but what it’s like to live off of the brownline – in the best neighborhoods in this city! In addition, they have fragrances and jewelry for women. Don’t pass this place up the next time you’re hurrying off the train. It’s definitely worth a visit.

What a fantastic shop for gifts.
I have stopped in a few times to browse and buy and every time the staff is super friendly and helpful. Oh and the prices… great for a local locally made/​sourced option for those sparkly/​practical but not over priced goods.

This place is absolutely adorable and shockingly affordable. I wish it was just a bit bigger, however, so that there can be more amazing products and more maneuvering space.

This might be the cutest store ever and the best part is that it is walking distance from my apartment. I went in and the owner was so friendly and helpful without being pushy you totally felt free to browse and her daughter happened to be there which just added another layer of flipping adorable. Everything was pretty affordable and a lot of it was locally made so there won’t be 200 people running around with you necklace! they have a little bit of everything and I definitely plan on going back soon. Also if you want to check out some of their stuff without actually going in they have an Instagram as well.

Nice place to find gifts for any occasion. Everything is really reasonably priced, and they have a ton of unique pieces. They have a lot of soaps, bath salts, lotions, purses, etc. The store might be tiny, but can find something for everyone in here. The sales people are incredibly nice and very helpful.

I would love to write an actual review for Ravensgoods. However, it would be impossible as on two separate occasions now, I have ventured and it’s been unapologetically closed. How is this good business? Saturday, September 14 they had a nice little handwritten sign saying they would be closed. I guess I wont ever find out what the other four and five star reviewers have come to love, because apparently you’re doing well enough that during your posted hours you can just be closed. Maybe you figure, hey, everyone has the opportunity to stop by during working hours during the week? I don’t, but being you were closed with a handwritten sign on a Saturday, I don’t think you’ll care about losing one customer. Now I will go ahead and click the «Not sure» box for Good for Kids, and I might as well mark the pictures as Helpful, being that’s about as much as I have experienced.

Fun, fun finds. Energetic neighborhood-​centric owner, Lulu is always looking for cool little nicknacks, to fill her darling store, including jewelry, home décor, teas and soaps… There are always thoughtful gifts and self indulgences for really realy reasonable prices. People love the gifts that I have given them from here and everything is able to be packaged in a darling way. Don’t miss the store’s private label line of sarcastic-​but-​sweet greeting cards.

I love Ravensgoods!!! Besides the fact that the name is super cute, the store is also very cute. I casually passed by one day and discovered this little secret on damen. The way to best describe their store is everyday things with a twist. For example you I saw this book that looked like something from my childhood but inside the pages were blank and made out of repurposed paper. They also have all natural handmade body scrubs, cool purses, unique jewlery and the list goes on and on. Basically when you go there you know that what you are getting is one of a kind.
P. S.— – Highly recommended for gifts when you don’t know what to get :)

We did all of our Christmas shopping here. Not only did we get beautiful art & jewelry and soaps and at great prices, we supported a local store supporting local artists. These very friendly, helpful artists also staff the store, so they can answer all of your questions.

A surprisingly affordable gem in the Ravenswood neighborhood.
Truly, there are tons of wonderful finds here, and while some handmade pieces from local artists are pricey, everyone can find something special within their price range here.
The salesperson was extremely friendly, nice, and helpful, and the atmosphere was quaint and unique, without seeming pretentious. I particularly loved the jewelry, the felted mittens, and the knitted hats. Very sweet!

I can’t tell ya how much I love this place! Super cute, quirky, gifty goodness! The owner is a sweetheart with excellent taste and she is always on the look out for new things! Go shop there!

Took advantage of the great weather this weekend to take a local shopping trip in the neighborhood and stumbled across this adorable shop — what a great find!
The store itself is small, but tastefully decorated with pretty light lanterns and the merchandise is beautifully styled and arranged. Great place to pick up pretty and unique decorative items for your home or gifts. They had many candles, unique glass jars, frames, jewelry and cute scarves.
The best part: we were blown away by how affordable everything was! Jewelry for a little over $ 10, pretty glass jars for under $ 10, etc. Also, the girl at the store was really sweet and helpful, yet not overbearing at all which I can really appreciate at little stores like this where I want to take my time and browse.
My only tiny gripe was that there was some unused shelving and extra space in the shop where more merchandise could be displayed.
Will definitely be back here to pick up unique gifts and even treat myself to some accessories for myself and my home.

This is my go-​to shop for gifts for friends, although I rarely leave without buying something for myself! I like the unique and inexpensive jewelry. They always have something like lip glosses in cute containers, soaps, candles, scarves, etc. Most of what they sell is locally made. The owner is friendly and interesting, and is helpful in a non-​hovering way.

What a lovely addition to the neighborhood. I came in looking for locally made gifts and had quite a bit of success here. The owner was polite, friendly, and helpful. The store is oozing with charm and the merchandise is mostly original and reasonably priced. No detail has been overlooked. Even the bags, ribbon, and tags are nicely designed. And I loved, loved, loved the glass bead on the bag! What a sweet little touch. I will be back!

Adorable store, great prices! A perfect place to buy unique gifts or a little treat for yourself. I even smile when I walk past this store after it’s closed because it’s so cute and well merchandised. The first time I went there, they had a table full of stuff that was $ 2! I bought two nice jar candles for $ 2 each.
And I can’t help it, I just love the name :)

This store is so so cute. There are tons of great household items, accessories, and gift ideas. There are some quirky Chicago goods as well as some more familiar items, like 70’s women with funny sayings («This is so better than camping»). It’s hard to leave without buying a little sumpthin’.

Adorable boutique on Damen. Agree with other reviews that their merchandise is surprisingly affordable (under $ 20). Really cute owl and bird jewelry pieces.
Went in for a gift for a girlfriend, but wanted to buy many gifts for myself! If you buy a gift, be sure to get it gift-​wrapped — they do a great job!

Walking around Ravenswood is always a joy in the springtime. Blooming flowers, sidewalk families and corner pubs make it what it is. However, it gets even better when new shops like Ravensgoods (crafty name, I know!) pop up around town. If you’re ever feeling like buying yourself, a friend or a visitor something fun and unique, check this place out! Almost everything they have is locally made and full of Chi-​town pride. Chicago flag and CTA El pins (for all those hipsters out there), recycled CTA map made into a water– & tear-​proof wallets, antique Chicago maps, fashionable jewelry, onesies and tote bags designed by the owner herself, and much, much more. If you have visitors from out of town come in to the Windy City, be sure to take them here for a little souvenir or gifts for back home. Prices are very reasonable and best of all, the products are of local origin and originality!
Psst…One of the most adorable things are the logo pins for free at the counter and how each and every receives an ink stamp.
