I have wanted to visit this shop in Glen Ellyn for a while now and finally had the opportunity. I love it! Amazing collectibles and all sorts of treasures. I collect red glazed pottery items. I have water pitchers, bowls, a creamer and sugar set and am always looking for more. If youre a collector, you gotta stop by Gather & Collect!

Awesome store with all sorts of miscellaneous items ranging from joke gifts items, to clothing, to knick knacks, to jewelry, etc. A lot of the items are pop culture themed jokes. Its my go to store for finding a gift for someone.

Great place. Great cards. Some wicked humor. Great familiarity with their selections and the perfect card to win over an intransigent family member. Thank you!

I love this store! There are so many fun, unique items to look at. She gets in handmade pottery by artists as well from all over the USA. Great place for finding that gift for the person who is hard to buy for too!

I just love this place! Theyve got such a fun and wide selection. I got a bunch of fun stuff for christmas gifts for my family! I bought stickers, a notebook, cards, a puzzle, a mug and more! I will absolutely come back to this place to buy gifts and fun things for myself.

As a mother of two who recently wandered into this store with my daughters, I was appalled at some of the crude and vile things for sale. We teach our children to be kind, understanding and accepting of all people. Yet many of the items displayed for sale---at eye view of children---were unkind, unaccepting, and inappropriate for kids and alienating for some adults. There should be a large posting on the entrance door or store window to warn parents that many items in this store are for adults only and will not be suitable for children. Honestly, I was shocked, considering that this store is in such a charming and family-friendly town. If I had been shopping in a gritty store in Manhattan, San Francisco, LA, Portland or Seattle, I would have expected to see such filthy items for sale. Par for the course there. But Glen Ellyn, Illinois? Really?? I think this store owner should practice more decency and be more inclusive to ALL people, not just some.

Many vulgar, classless items for sale that are divisive and totally unnecessary. . .why alienate half your potential customer base with such garbage for sale?

The Facebook page is kept current and displays all of the fun new items that come in every day! Check this little shop out. You will not be disappointed!

This place is the devil.If you go in to just look around youll end up with 12 things easy.Great mix of random little things.Like if Vat19, Vermont Country Store, and Too Cool had a upscale demon child.

I love this shop. Julie ALWAYS has a smile . There is something for everyone here. We always find something we want when we visit, Prices are fair. Julie is always very helpful with decorating tips and if you tell her what you are looking for she will find it for you. Helped us with decorating our bedroom and decorating and centerpieces for our daughters wedding. We Love Gather and Collect and Julie. I would rate Gather and Collect an 11 if I could.

This place is a GEM. The owner, Julie, has a fantastic eye for style. Ive purchased furniture, jewelry, and so much more..... They always have interesting things that you cant get anywhere else- I got an awesome map of Chicago from the 60s that is hanging over my dining room table This is my go to place for gifts, Ive found cool pottery that Ill put fresh flowers in for a hostess gift, or pick up a little piece of jewelry for a girlfriends birthday. Great place for vintage purses, scarves, etc.. I dont know what I did before Gather and Collect opened!

Gather & Collect is an awesome shopping experience! If you are looking for decorating accessories or retro clothes and shoes, you will find them there! If Julie doesnt have what you are looking for when you visit, just let her know....she can get it for you. Many of my recent decorating pieces have been purchased from Gather & Collect. We even got the centerpieces for my daughters wedding there. Julie was a huge help with those!

Visited the area where I have family and friends so it had been recommended to check Gather and Collect for a specialty item I needed. I called and had a very nice and helpful conversation with Julie, the owner. I was excited because she had what I needed but not at the store. She was going to check on it and get back to me while I was in town. She said shed send me a pic and be in touch the next day. I even arranged for my friend to pick up the item and bring it to me on her spring break trip. I was really happy to find what I needed and Julie was so nice. Then the waiting. I left a voice message because I was leaving town. And a text. I received no call. No text. Nothing. So I cancelled the pick up. It was very unprofessional. A simple text would have been fine. Good business requires good communication. Apparently Julie didnt need my business. Its not the way to treat people. I would not recommend this store.

Ive been visiting this store since it first opened and thankfully live right down the street. I always seem to find gem after gem there, not to mention that everything is so affordable. The owner really seems to love what shes doing and always has an idea or direction for you when youre on the hunt for something but in need of guidance. Time and time again, Ive yet to be disappointed!

Went into this store and found some very vulgar, offensive and tasteless items in full view of children who may be shopping with their parents. Do not plan on going back.
