Chicago toy store offers bespoke easter baskets – but act fast

With Easter just a week away, Timeless Toys in Chicago's Lincoln Square is offering a unique service: custom-built Easter baskets tailored to each child's interests. The independent retailer is accepting orders for personalized baskets costing between $60 and $100, with a deadline of noon on Thursday, April 2nd.

Personalized easter baskets: a lincoln square tradition

Forget generic candy assortments. Timeless Toys allows customers to specify a child's age, gender, and passions – from dinosaurs to dance – and their team crafts a basket accordingly. The baskets, priced at $60, $80, or $100, are designed to be filled with toys that truly resonate with the recipient. Notably, no candy is included.

The store, located at 4749 N. Lincoln Ave, requires all orders for pickup or local delivery to be placed by noon on Thursday. Shipping orders have already closed. This bespoke approach caters to a growing desire for individualized gifts, a welcome departure from mass-produced holiday offerings.

The deadline is firm. Those hoping for a uniquely curated Easter experience must act quickly. The store’s ability to fulfill orders depends on the volume of requests. A thoughtful, personalized gift often carries more weight than any amount of confectionary.
