Rolo the store is similar to Rolo the candy -- they may both be small, but WOW are they ever fun. This store in Yorkville is tiny as all hell, but the walls are full of fun gift items and it's just a fun store in general.
You'll probably be drawn in by the alternative to the knife block -- the plastic person who you has all your kitchen knives poking through its androgynous body. It also comes in gold! If you're anything like me, you'll think of that one person in your life who would absolutely love to have this poor stabbed person sitting on their kitchen counter.
And once you go inside, you'll be stuck in there forever. You'll stare at one wall for half an hour, just taking in everything around you. And then the owner will start chatting with you and he'll show you all the new cool stuff he got in and you will be in here even longer.
This store has almost everything to make your life more convenient, from a flat, portable and waterproof rubber keyboard to that last-minute new baby gift -- how about a onesie with a picture of Barack Obama that says "I need a change"?
Everything in here is so cute and fun, even if you hate all things cute and fun you will probably still find something in here that you'll love. Plus it's in Yorkville without the Yorkville prices.
