Hello everyone! I have a friend who grew up in Chicago. As a gift for them I'd like to get some keepsake items from small local establishments that don't have online shops. Since I am several states away I am looking for a kind local who would be willing to gather the items and ship them to me. I'm willing to pay for the items, the shipping and your time. The folks at Craigslist directed me here a potential place to find help. Anyone willing? Thanks in advance.

Cute idea, but I am not sure what sort of "small local establishments that don't have online shops" you are thinking of...

With online marketplaces like etsy you can find individual artisans that work out of the homes selling more creative things than any physical retail shop -- https://www.etsy.com/search?q=chicago%20theme

Try TaskRabbit -- an app that has locals to do pretty much anything you need in terms of errands, tasks, etc
