Oh baby: Have you seen the beautiful expanded kids section at Marigold lately?
What’s new: Marigold, known for its beautiful and ever-changing supply of colorful home decor, has recently seen its versatile baby section grow, to the point where it now takes up nearly a third of the entire store.
“It just kind of evolved,” says owner Amy DeGrazio, who also owns Edie Boutique next door. “We had the space and we had the requests coming in from our regular customers. People come here for gifts of all kinds, and after the wedding gifts, the next step is the baby gifts.”
There’s not a gift category you can’t shop for here. … The baby section will evolve with the seasons just like all of our stores. Expect something new and exciting every time you walk in the door.” — Amy DeGrazio
“As we started expanding, people were super excited and kept following up with us to see what we were adding,” she adds. “There’s not a gift category you can’t shop for here. … The baby section will evolve with the seasons just like all of our stores. Expect something new and exciting every time you walk in the door.”
First glance: Bright and eye catching doesn’t just quite do it justice. There’s just something new and fun on every shelf, and the colorful displays are mesmerizing.
Cuddly Mon Ami stuffed animals are in ample supply, as are sweaters, onesies, pajamas, bedroom wall decor, mom totes and backpacks, toolkits, puzzles, toys, music sets, books and pillows.
What caught our eye: Fun sippy cups — for children and adults (wink, wink), as well as the cute Stephen Joseph animal bath towel sets in a variety of colors. And don’t forget the golf wall, with everything from outfits to plastic baby clubs. “Golf has taken over for football in a lot of ways when it comes to baby outfits and gifts,” Amy tells me. “Everyone loves those.”
Marigold is located at 29 S. Prospect in Park Ridge. ShopEdie.com
