Stumbling upon Foursided in Chicago is like finding a hidden treasure trove. This place is way more than your average gift shop – it’s a cool spot for anyone hunting for quirky gifts or some awesome vintage Chicago gear. Every time I pop in, there’s always something new and fun to check out, from neat local pop culture finds to all kinds of funky stuff.
The vibe here is super chill. The staff are friendly and down-to-earth, always up for a chat or to help you find something cool. They’ve got this knack for making you feel right at home the moment you step in. And let me tell you, their framing work? Top-notch. Whether it's jazzing up a poster or framing a special photo, these folks know their stuff.
What I really dig is their collection of vintage Chicago merchandise. It’s like a mini time travel adventure, perfect for snagging a piece of the city’s history. Plus, the array of pop culture items is always a hit, whether you’re shopping for yourself or looking for a unique gift.
Foursided is the kind of place you go for one thing and end up browsing for an hour. It’s relaxed, fun, and just a great spot to explore. Definitely a must-visit for a laid-back shopping...

This location just threw random and sale items in that made no sense and were obviously thrown in without any care. One of the three bags I purchased was just filled with cheap puzzle pieces that didn't go together and a Valentine's card (which I got two of). It was disappointing and made me feel like I fell for a money pit trick. I still love the store and will go back again during my travels, because I still got some cool things. But the glowing admiration I had for this store has dimmed. I will go back to another...
Read moreThis place brings me warm fuzzy feelings just by walking inside. When you walk in you are bombarded with color, stimulation, and maximalism. Get ready to have fun.
Foursided is a great place to get gifts, candles, local artwork, small plant pots, baby books, cards, and more. The people working were talking about House of Dragons while I was shopping and they gave me the vibes that they wouldn't be upset if I jumped into the conversation!
Once you make your purchase they take off the price tags in case you are gifting the items which saves me a little time in the long run.
