Wish Kids

I was in the store yesterday with my sister and nephew. The sales clerk did not greet us and was rude when my 18 month nephew put a toy out of place. I thought some of their books were unique, however, I could not look at them to see if I wanted to buy any because they were all taped up. I find all of this to be very uncustomer focused especially with it being a children’s store. I will not support a business that runs in such a way.

Great selection and very friendly staff! Extremely helpful and a great place to shop for gifts for kids!

Excellent selection of in-​style and timeless children’s clothing, toys and lifestyle. Store is in a great location and carries a unique assortment of high quality and great looking apparel for special occasions or casual days. A definite recommendation!

Love this store! It’s adorable & has a huge selection of beautiful clothing for infants-​tweens. The staff was very helpful & gave great recommendations! They also had a whole Chicago section with locally made items, which was really cool! It’s always great to support local businesses. They also do free gift wrap & it always looks super nice! I definitely recommend this place if you need a gift for a child or are expecting!

I visited Wish Kids during my last trip to Chicago. It has super cute and unique clothes for babies and kids that you won’t find anywhere else. You can find luxury brands like Deux Par Deaux, Mayoral and other locally owned items. I wish there was a store like this in Houston! It’s a great stop to find presents for baby showers and birthday gifts.

This is the same store as «Kooky» just under a different name. In fact, most of the tags on the clothing still say Kooky. Had what I was looking for. High-​end children’s clothing including Mayoral Chic for girls and Fore! Axel & Hudson for boys. They had some neat t-​shirt souvenirs though it was annoying that they’d have only a few sizes (of very wide range, like one 18 month and one size 6) of a particular shirt. That was actually my biggest issue was the inventory and organization of the clothing. For example, they had these cool towels that are meant to look like superhero capes with the child’s initial emblazoned on the crest/​shield. When all I saw were a couple of «O» and «L» towels and asked about others I was told that they could order but it would take a week. Accommodating yes, convenient no.
The infants stuff was well organized but the toddler/​young kids clothing was a bit all over the place. There were some areas with clothing crammed onto racks in no particular size/​season/​style. Would be OK if they were sales racks, but they weren’t. There was a sale area but the discounted/​sale stuff should not have been for sale. It was composed of mainly damaged goods with obvious tears and wear present.
Decent selection of toys, craft supplies, books and stuffed animals. One other really annoying bit though is that they taped shut most of their kids books! They could’ve left one open to look at. I’m talking like taking a roll of scotch tape and wrapping it around the book a few times! Odd.
I did end up finding some clothes to bring home to my kids and the store serves its purpose. They just need to get their act together and get a bit more organized.

This store opened in the old Kooky store space, they carry some of the better clothing brands — like a lot of Mayoral and Desigual from Spain which Kooky carried too, but they have more of the tween girl selection and finally — more boys clothing to choose from. The girls selection tends to be either classic or really funky, the boys I’m glad to see a variety that cool and not not preppy RL looking. They’ve also ditched generic toy brands and have more boutique toy lines (can’t recall the brands) which are great for gifting although a little higher in price point.
5 points for location, free giftwrap and selection — this is still my go-​to for gifts, and that special outfit for the kiddos
