M & Em’s

I came to M & Em’s after seeing on the Alex and Ani website that their products are carried here. I was a little confused by seeing the «children’s clothing» description on Unilocal but I decided to take a gamble. To clear it up, they are mostly a children’s boutique, but they do have accessories and a few other things for adults.
Their Alex and Ani collection was pretty big which surprised me. I found them to actually have more than Nordstrom in Oak Brook. I ended up buying 3 A&A wrap bracelets here. There was also a jewelry maker (Infinite Warrior) doing a trunk show and I bought one of her bracelets too.
The customer service here was great. I truly felt valued and appreciated for coming in. My A&A collection is growing and I’ll be going back to M&Em’s really soon.

Always a great place to fine unique gifts for moms and children. Helpful staff and love that they will give wrap items.

If you want to pay triple for an item than you would pay for it elsewhere, go here. A cloth baby book with three pages will cost you $ 28.
Sure, they have alot of fun items. But, I can’t justify spending so much for an item only because you can’t find it everywhere.

Such a cute store with lots of great gift items! The owner/​manger is very kind and helpful. One of my favorite places to purchase gifts or just shop around.

This store is ridiculously expensive, but when I go in, I know that so if I’m stupid enough to buy the overly cute things, that’s on me. However, this is what is on them. The seeming partners in the store are so sweet when I’m spending $ 500.00, but on a day I was so ill I could barely stand up, I needed a last minute birthday present. Since I don’t really know this kid, and I felt like crap, I picked up a really cute $ 5.00 bracelet made in India. Wow, upon going to the register, I was treated as though I was Pretty Woman in their gift shop. How dare I be so cheap! I haven’t returned. By the way, it happened to be the favorite gift at the party.

Love, Love, Love M and Em’s! It’s my go-​to boutique when I’m looking for a special gift. The jewelry selection that M and Em’s has is fabulous! If you are in need of Alex and Ani bracelets, then look no farther. The necklaces are amazing and bracelets are too fun! I’m not sure where they find this stuff, because I haven’t seen the majority of it anywhere else!
One of my favorite things about shopping at M and Em’s is that after I’ve selected the perfect gift… THEY WILL WRAP IT FOR ME AT NO CHARGE!
Who does that anymore?! It’s not just wrapping paper thrown on, oh no! It’s absolutely adorable paper and ribbon too I might add!
The gal’s that work there are extremely helpful and happy to assist me with whatever I need with a smile.
Before I leave with my perfectly wrapped packages and usually at least one thing for myself, if i’m being honest… I grab a scoop of M&M’s by the register. You heard me right guys… free M&M’s for all! (not just for kids)

I came by this store when I was looking for a local place that sold Alex and Ani bracelets. This store has such an awesome collection that you could spend the entire day looking at everything. The staff here is so sweet and helpful, always there to help and give advice. Whenever I need a gift for anyone, or myself, I can count on them for having something awesome that will fit the bill.

I love that this boutique carries both chidren and women’s clothing. I always seem to find some unique or interesting addition to my wardrobe at this store. I particularly think their selection of jewelry is really great. I have found some of my favorite pieces of costume jewelry at this store. Like the kind that you will get tons of compliments on when you wear out. Also, they are good quality unlike somewhere like Charming Charlies.

Nice place for special occasion shopping, great deals when there are sales, a little on the pricey side when not. But lots of unique merchandise.

I’ve always had great luck at M&M’s buying presents or things for myself. There’s a lot of merchandise in the store and a wide variety items from candles to jewelry to baby/children’s toys and clothing to women’s fashions, greeting cards, etc. The staff is always helpful and warm and I leave the store happy with my experience and purchases. After years of never having gone to this store, I’m so glad I went in a year ago and discovered this gem.

I had the following experience shopping at M and EAM’s in Glen Ellyn. I bought 3 dresses clearly tagged at $ 47 each. After returning to the car however, I examined my receipt, realizing that the store’s OWNER had charged me $ 55 per dress, marking out the $ 47 on the price tag, and writing $ 55 over it.
I immediately returned to the store, confronting her about changing the price. She responded that it was well within her right to do so. I next told her I wanted to return the dresses for a full refund, because it was wrong to trick customers into paying more for an item than originally marked. She replied that she would only give me store credit and that there was nothing I could do about it. After several minutes of argument (including an attempt by her to escalate the dispute by treating to come over the counter and take the receipt from me), she reluctantly refunded my money. I suggest that if you ever shop there, check the price she charges you at the register. I’ve never heard of a merchant stealing from their own clientele.

I happened upon this store while doing some last minute Christmas shopping.
I was very pleased with the children’s gift selections. If I had a young girl, this would be an especially fun store.
I ended up getting a purse to give as a gift, the recipient was totally pleased. I felt it was a nice item at a great price.
I also treated myself to a cute top, the selection is unique, a little funky but not too far out.
If you like costume jewelry, this is the place to stop in!
I am headed back in for a new baby gift.
As far as the service, I was greeted and checked on several times, no complaints there.

As a long time Glen Ellyn resident, I have passed by this store on numerous occassions and always wanted to stop by. I finally did yesterday, with my 5 year old daughter. It was a late Friday afternoon and the store was empty. When we walked in we were not greeted by anyone. Even when I was perusing right by the register, neither of the two women working could be bothered to even say hello. While there were plenty of cute things I wanted to buy, there was no way I was going to support a business with such poor customer service. I felt like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.

I always thought that M & Em was only a children’s store until I had to return a gift there once. To my surprise, they have such great women’s clothes as well! The selection ranges from a small amount of denim, to yoga/​loungewear, to button down work shirts, or even casual dresses. The prices are pretty comparable, but affordable.
They also have a great selection of fashion jewelry and everyday wear jewelry as well as purses, duffle bags, and home décor.
For kids: They have the cutest clothing, blankets, accessories, and gifts for babies, toddlers, and young children. I definitely recommend M & Em’s for anyone looking for a cute children’s gift.
Every time I’ve visited M & Em I’ve been greeted (with a smile) very promptly… very cute store, worth a stop!

Just happened to wander in hoping to find a birthday gift for a friend’s six year old girl. I left with not only a gift for the little girl, but some birthday gifts for some of my girlfriends.
This shop is the cutest and the owners are so friendly. I thought it was just going to be a kids store but found they have some great items for babies, teenage gals and women. Clothing, toys, hair accessories, shoes, candles, knick knacks, jewelry – covers a lot of ground here.
Some of the items are definitely over-​priced ($ 10 for a baby hair bow?) but if you spend some time and browse, you can certainly find something unique and in your budget. I appreciated that they have non-​traditional girly gifts – that not all the items are the «princess set». There are educational games and items for sporty girls or for book-​lover or journal-​lover girls.
They offer free gift-​wrapping if you need it too. I signed up for their mailing list, I don’t know what that entails, but it’s such a cute shop I wouldn’t mind making it a regular stop for cute gifts.

I love this little cute girly boutique in downtown Glen ellyn. After eating at my fav Honey I like to head over to M and Em’s to see if I can find a cute lil something for my nieces. I do have a bit of a grudge since they refused to sell my super cute animal barrettes I make! But I think I can get over it even though my barrettes would be a grand addition to their store. Ok I’m done harboring on it.
Anyways they have an enormous selction of clothing, jewelry, hair bows, accessories, toys, fun monogrammed things etc. The store is packed to the brim with fun kids stuff, Go check it out people! O and its almost Christmas you could find some killer gifts for all those little cutie pies in your life.

This store has a great selection of really unique items for children of all ages. Toys, games, clothing, fashion accessories, etc. I’m always impressed by the interesting things they carry in this store that you just don’t find anywhere else.
However, the prices are a bit on the outrageous side. For instance, I found a couple of cute t-​shirts that I wanted to buy for my friend’s daughters. That is, until I looked at the price tag and saw that each t-​shirt was $ 42. I don’t even buy myself $ 42 t-​shirts, let alone kids who won’t be able to wear them after one season.
If you are ever in a pinch and need to find a special gift for a special kid, this place surely has something for any kid’s tastes. However, be prepared to shell out a lot of green for the experience.

I think this is one of the best stores in downtown Glen Ellyn if you have children or are looking for a great gift for a child in your life. There is a great selection of toys, clothing, and other assorted items.
It is a store that by all accounts is unpretentious unlike other stores that I have visited. Some items can be pricey, but you should not have a problem finding an item that is somewhere in your price range.

this is a cute little boutique for kids. the stuff is pricey and considering that kids grow out of their clothes and shoes so quick, you might want to think twice about how much you want to shell out. (docking one star for the price).
i ended up buying an outfit for my nephew (shirt, sweater, pants and a jacket), two toys and bedding and the bill came up to almost $ 450 (ouch!) but the smile on his face was priceless!
the girl that helped me was sweet and helpful in figuring out sizes. no pressure sales, gotta love that!
