Stumble & Relish

An FYI: Their returns policy is store credit good only for one month.
UPDATE: They reviewed their policy and extended store credit to a year.

Love this store. Great selection of gift items and cards. I especially love the local merchandise. I literally stumbled into this store on a rainy day when the store next door (which I intended to visit) was closed. I ended up finding what I needed and discovered other things I just had to have. This is now my go-​to stop for gifts.

This store is adorable! Amazing handmade jewelry, and they support the Evanston community with a passion. I love how helpful and friendly the owners are (mother and daughter). Worth a visit!

Still love this place = proud to make my mom proud on Mother’s Day.
What makes a business a five star business? Read on…
* Great Merchandising Mix: Everything is organized and displayed in a manner that will make you want to buy the entire store. I never leave without a stash of goodies. I even call and buy gift cards over the phone for my friends so they can go in and pick out what they want.
Note: Juliet Jewelry sells her necklaces here — I am a huge fan of her work. I also tend to keep buying these really fun colorful glass molded pendant necklaces.
* Customer service is always warm and friendly. This store is run by a mother daughter team. I always feel like I’m the only customer in the shop when I come here.
* I have my own personal Snail Mail card on file. When I purchase greeting cards, they hold onto a punch card with my name on it. When I buy a greeting card, they pull out my card from a special box. After so many punches I get a free card!
Stumble & Relish is a true find. Everything in here is affordable and you honestly can’t leave without finding… something!
A five star business is one that makes you feel like coming back to spend money time and time again. This store deserves my hard-​earned money.

The love & care that goes into each snippet of this store is effervescent. From unique locally made jewelery & journals to gorgeous cards & that perfect little offbeat gift for that tough shop for person.

I am not normally a tiny boutique person, but I stumbled (ha!) upon this place after brunch and I don’t think I’ve ever whipped out my credit card faster. The stuff in here is just so cute and well curated, and AFFORDABLE. do not be deterred by thinking, oh tiny boutique I cannot afford that! because you CAN.
Also, there was a little necklace that I loved but wanted in a different metal, and the staff was just awesome about helping me. Not two days later, they emailed me to say they had gotten a new shipment and would hold the necklace I was looking for for a few days, or I could just pay over the phone and stop by at my leisure. So sweet and friendly! If you know me in real life, btw, just expect every gift you get from me forever to come from here.

Stumble & Relish might just be my most favorite little boutique on the planet! Seriously, I could spend hours in there looking at all the fun cards, jewelry, and other handmade things. I’ve bought so many cool items there, like journals, rings, an even a little airplant with a vintage shell vase!
The owners, Jaime and Paulette, are the sweetest women in the world and know everything there is to know about all of the lines they carry! They’re so passionate about their products, and they are super friendly and you can spend an hour in there just talking to them about life.
I highly recommend stopping in there for any gifts you might need, and I guarantee in doing so, you’ll leave with double the amount of things for yourself! It’s my go-​to for EVERYTHING!

I live in the apartment above this shop, and I’m tempted to spend all of my rent money every month in here. It’s so charming, with such wonderful products. The owners are incredibly kind. If you need to find gifts for special people, start here!

This store is impressive! The mother&daughter owners are so passionate about their store, their customers, and the unique merchandise. They have a really eclectic assortment of locally found artists and hand made items. You need to check this store out.

Just like the name entails, I Stumbled into this little shop and Relished at everything inside! I thought this was really the cutest store ever! As another Unilocaler described it, it’s like a live Esty store :) Everything sold is made by an individual artist, and they all have really fascinating stories to tell! The owner Jaime, is very knowledgable about where the items come from and the history of the particular artist that created it. And she should know, because she is the one that directly speaks with these sellers!
I’ve always loved mom & pop shops (in this case mother/​daughter shop!) — Stumble & Relish exhibits the same kind of caring and thoughfulness put into the items they sell. The location on Chicago ave. is perfect too — a great up-​and-​coming area with other little shops to wander into :)
I will definitely make it back out here whenever I’m in the area!

Amazing.
I drove by one evening last week while searching for small gifts for some beloved (but tough to shop for) coworkers.
I was instantly smitten. Everything is so amazing. Airplants, cards, scarves, bags, amazing jewelery, glassware, I wanted it all.
The woman working behind the counter (I assume she’s also the owner) was so kind and helpful, and wrapped all the gifts up in cute bags and boxes. I’ll be back, and hopefully to buy something for myself!

My coworkers found out my home was burglarized and all of my jewelry was stolen. For Christmas they bought me the cutest pair of earrings from this store. I absolutely love them! I can’t wait to check out the store in person to find out what other lovely things reside there.

Just driving by on Chicago Avenue, I was enticed to find a place to park on a snowy afternoon and wander in. I found out that they’d only been open a week – which explains why I hadn’t seen this sweet little shop before. You walk in and are greeted by the owners – and the creative, bold displays and color treatments throughout this shop. It reminds me of a little European shop, both in size and style.
Jewelry, pottery, soft goods, greeting cards, soaps, small wood curios are what I admired most. These are «home grown» artists, much like you’d find on Etsy – without the enjoyment of wandering through a lovely little shop while snow is falling outside to take it all in. The whole thing has an artist’s touch (and the gift-​wrapping fits right in with the store’s lovely palette).
