I bought this necklace for myself when I first moved to Chicago.

I didn't think people would so quickly recognize it, but I get comments on it every single time I wear it. I love it so much.

I love a colorful, mismatched Christmas tree -- with ornaments collected over time, each telling its own story.

This Chicago skyline ornament is mouth-blown into the bean shape and then hand painted.

It has 10 spice bends, each inspired by different Chicago neighborhoods. There are also smaller versions of this gift with ~5 spices each.

I love this 3D-printed Chicago Skyline SO MUCH and would be thrilled to get it as a gift.

They can 3D print any city! It looks like it takes a few weeks to print/deliver, so you'll want to place your holiday orders soon.
