When building a computer, I went looking locally for some things that I needed (I bought major components online). I stopped into Champaign Computer Supply with my processor and motherboard and ordered up some other components.
They not only recommended great products, they offered for no extra cost just to assemble everything for me!
The prices were reasonable -- a bit more than if I had ordered, but still very good for a shop in-town.
If you need something same-day, or something bulky, Champaign Comptuer Corporation is excellent.

I visited all the jewelers in Champaign when ring-shopping and T Kelly Jewelers is the best of the best. The owner focused on finding out exactly what I wanted and then worked hard to help me find the perfect ring. I felt that he truly cared about me individually and was looking out for my best interests, even if that meant less money in his pocket (i.e. if he didn't have exactly what I wanted, then finding other resources where I could buy it). I had some special custom criteria for the ring and he was very dedicated in helping me.
He had a wonderful array of beautiful, unique, and creative pieces, along with the largest selection of custom-order pieces and specialties.
His diamonds were of the best quality and the pricing was very attractive. This is the very best jeweler anywhere in town (I know, I have visited them ALL).

This is the best scrapbook store in Champaign, hands down. I love their work area with punches, scissors and die-cut machine, which is free for use during the day. They always have a clearance area with good bargains on items they need to get rid of to make room for the new stuff. And the prices on their new stuff is very comparable to other stores. They have TONS of rubber stamps, which I'm not really into but they're fun to look at. They also have great contemporary papers and letters and shabby chic papers/stickers. Paper is divided by color and theme. Parking is plentiful enough for his stoer and the hours are good. They are very friendly and always willing to help you with scrapbooking questinons.
PROS: Friendly staff, good prices and selection, great work room and clearance
CONS: Kind of cramped in some areas of the store

Imagine Scrapbooking and Stamping is in an odd, hard to find location and there is not much parking. The layout of the store is strange, too. It is really long and narrow. However, once inside I was pleasanly suprised. They have alot of unique paper, stamps, and embellishments. They have a kids play area. they also have lots of layout and card samples all over the walls. they have a small room full of albums and another small room full of stamps. The staff is very nice. The prices are good as well. Don't be put off by the location-it is worth the trip!

I buy most of my work clothes at Bachrach, and they do tailoring for free the first year, so I didn't have need of a tailor until I realized one year that I had gotten too fat for my Marine Corps uniform, and the Birthday Ball was in just a few days. Not only was she able to let it out 3" and have it ready 6 hours after I dropped it off, her prices are very reasonable. I was able to have her modify all of my work shirts (we are issued Cutter and Buck uniform shirts, which come in XXL, XXXL, or XXXXXXXL--you know what I'm talking about if you're a skinny guy). She was able to make the shirts almost look good on me; quite an accomplishment.

I'd gone into this shop a few times to do some small stuff--sizing rings, watch batteries, stuff like that. Then, when my wife and I were shopping for my wedding band, I remembered that Robert had mentioned that he made custom jewelry. I had a pretty specific idea of what I wanted, and wasn't finding it, so I thought hey, I'll ask him.
I told him what I wanted--alternating sapphires and diamonds, princess cut, going about halfway around my finger. He told me he'd make some sketches. A week later he called me and said, I know you haven't committed to buy it, but I thought it was an interesting concept so I made it anyway--it's yours if you want it. It was exactly what I wanted, so I asked how much, and it was only $550. $550 for an 18kt ring with 6 diamonds and 7 sapphires is a steal!

Ten Thousand Villages really has outdone themselves in customer appreciation (They send you a special discount on your birthday and welcome you with a smile each time), and their store always has new crafts coming in from skilled craftspeople from poor third world countries--Ten Thousand Villages provides these people with adequate water and housing.
The ambience of the store is really well done- with native music playing in the background and the setting and placing of gifts makes it feel like you're visiting a slice of life unseen before.
There are a variety of gifts, from jewelry, toys for kids, hand-made soaps, to fair-trade coffee and hand-made baskets and containers. I definitely recommend this store, you're sure to find a refreshingly unique gift here for anyone in the family :)
