What a great store! by meganfranz on 8/2/2006 via Citysearch
I love this store. It is the best for any kind of gift. Baby gifts, stocking stuffers, birthday...really anything. I really don't think I can walk out of the store with out having a bag in my hand. Each time I go in, there is…

Pricy and small, but gorgeous by Jennifer W on 11/11/2005 via Insider Pages
Don't bring a bag into this store! It's packed to the gills with items from local and national artisans, and you're likely to bump into some of the goods (or perhaps another customer). The selection ranges from candles to books to reading…

Expensive, but fairly original boutique by Karen C on 11/11/2005 via Insider Pages
Art Effect is a great place to get a gift because the price range does vary from moderate to expensive and the items are unique and funky. The service can sometimes be bad, but for the most part it's worth a visit.

I've been a fan for over 10 years. This place is what can inspire a good dresser. Although many pieces are expensive, they are worth it. One of a kind, even created for you (if the sixe doesn't work) and comfortable. The art & extras…

My favorite by linseyfoster on 8/27/2002 via Citysearch
I love Art Effect. I love the fact that I can run in and find a unique gift for almost any occaision and not spend more than $40. I moved away from Chicago for two years and missed "visiting" the helpful staff. Can't say enough about…

Bad Effect by jessl19 on 8/21/2002 via Citysearch
If you want to shop at a store that believes the customer is always wrong and be served a dosage of Lincoln Park attitude...this is your place.
