The Red Balloon Co. 1940 North Damen Avenue, Chicago, IL 60647

"This is my go to spot for baby shower and first birthday gifts. You’re always guaranteed to find something from their selection of baby clothes and toys. I appreciate their return policy and adore their gift wrapping!! I also love how they highlight local designers."

"It’s my favorite place to get gifts for kids. The staff makes it incredibly convenient too. You can call ahead, tell the staff who the gift is for, your budget and give an idea of what the kid likes (or not if you don’t know) and they’ll find the gift options, text you pictures of what they chose, you finalize, pay over the phone, they wrap the gift, you just show up to pick it up. Voila. Love the convenience. I recently asked for 10 gender neutral gifts under $30 to have them readily available for all the classroom birthday parties we are invited to."

"Went in for a gift for my cousin and got so many other things! Thank you to the wonderful staff who showed me all the options and helped me make great choices. Will be back for more things for friends and family!"

"In my personal opinion this is the best kid store in the city. extremely high quality products both toys and clothes and very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff. Love this place!"

"As a mom and realtor, I am always on the lookout for unique children's clothes and gifts. The Red Balloon has a wonderful selection of imaginative toys for all ages (think Tonie box characters, dress-up accessories, fun and new games). The clothing selection is curated so your little one will not be wearing the same thing as everyone else!"
