Lots of vintage clothing, knick knacks, and jewelry. I bought a $10 orange bar of soap that smells like Tiger Lillies. Its a large space with lots of smaller rooms filled with unique and fun finds.

One of my absolute favorite stores! They have it all! Some of their goods include cute vintage clothing and shoes, as well as a full assortment of jewellery, plushies, crystals, incense, and all sorts more! Its usually very affordable, too. It has something for everybody, really! Be sure you have plenty of time to spare when you visit. I really highly recommend!

There is just so much to see! You want everything. I walked in with 2 teenage girls & next visit will be with all 4 of my girls. Vintage clothing, antique, costume jewelry, beads, lace, a hat wall.... Im in love! The sale room is even this cute little closet.

The jewelry here is cute and the sales they offer seemed to be widespread for their selection. It was certainly a cute place to visit especially if youre looking for a small gift for someone special or trying to find an item that seems a bit more heartfelt.

Really cool and interesting things. A lot of gorgeous costume jewelry, rare finds, and vintage. It is a little on the expensive side, but they also have a couple sale rooms where you can discover some pretty great deals.

This is a very eclectic store where you can find vintage items for a reasonable price. Its a small space with no real parking and I found the smell of incense a tad annoying after 10 minutes.

One of the best antique stores we have ever been to. Pleasantly surprised to find that they are in forcing face coverings to protect their customers

Lauren is truly delightful. Her customer service is exceptional. I had an incident where I had purchased two different rings. One where the stone had been lost and the other had broken, within a month of purchase. Her policy states no returns or exchanges on jewelry so I initially chalked it up to a loss. I felt at least for my own peace of mind I should at least attempt to contact the owner and let her know what had happened. I was beyond impressed with her response. She told me to please come back and pick out two different rings to replace the two that had been damaged. Not only did she hold true to that but she gave me a $20 gift card. She is the definition of good business. Integrity means so much. Support local, and support Cracker Jax. Thank you Lauren!

An eclectic smorgasbord of vintage items, clothes, scents, candles, lighting, jewelry, French soaps, perfumes, hats, purses, and so much more. A pure delight of the senses! They treat each customer with a welcome that makes you feel at home, and custom wrap your items!!! A must stop when in DeKalb. You will never be disappointed!

Tons of items to see in here, a mix of vintage and new...however...did not like jewelry all being in cases, cant tell what is clip on and whats not, i get it, its for anti-shoplifting, but its nice to actually be able to see things. Also there is literally so many things in here, that it gets a big overwhelming. I felt a bit faint, and this coming from a girl who regularly thrifts. the place is PACKED! A good thing and a bad thing, but i felt that it was maybe a bit too chock-full and it was hard to view all the inventory.Because of the clutter i could not see price tags on many items, and it was frustrating to keep having to ask the salesgirl for help, i am a bit more of an independent-browser.that being said, i walked away with some nice earrings a skirt and a decorative basket.There are loads of nice things in here but it does take a LOT of looking through, reserve yourself at least an hour but you may need more!Prices are a bit high... I paid $16 for vintage earrings (probably from the 1980s) that are fake gold...and that was on sale. But you can find some good stuff in the clearance sections for a more reasonable price.overall 4 stars, 1 taken away for the amount of clutter which made it difficult to shop

Love love love Cracker Jax! This is the type of business we need more of in DeKalb and they need to be supported by the community. Cracker Jax feels like a boutique youd find in Naperville and its clear that the owners and staff work hard at keeping quality items and providing great customer service!

Great little store for knick knacks. From books on spiritualism, dreams, you name it, to incense, or antique jewelry you could spend all day exploring this store. A downside for me is that the location is so small so items tend to be crammed together, but that may not be an issue for others. Plenty of incense, candles, and old fashioned clothing to choose from along with all kinds of items to decorate the home.

It can be a little hard to find if you havent been there before. But it is worth the effort. A few parking spaces in the front of the store. The store might seem small when you walk up to the front door. Dont let that put you off since its larger inside with multiple rooms. If you need to find something the staff is quite helpful. The layout can be a bit confusing the first few times. After that the experience of walking around the store is quite enjoyable.

I always smell better for having shopped in Cracker Jax. Lauren uses every bit of available space in what are two stores next to each other. Something for everyone particularly when looking for that unusual present for that unusual friend.Increasingly better BoyToyz all the time. Surprisingly good vinyl, even cufflinks. Ima fan.
