ORD gift shops
I've been told that there is an O'Hare gift shop that specializes in selling replica toy airplanes. However, I can not find information about it on the Internet, nor could I find it when I was at O'Hare in October. Does it still exist? I have a 4 year old son, who loves to receive toy airplanes whenever I return from a trip. He's actually requested a FedEx plane, and I've been told this shop would likely have it among other airlines. I'm heading to Chicago the week of Aug. 1, so I'd appreciate info. Thanks.

You are probably referring to the store that used to be in T2 - near the lobby of the Hilton.
Everything in the store was aviation. They had an entire wall of the planes you are describing. In addition, they sold posters (they had original UA Hawaii posters), books, a few aviator jackets, items such as pamphlets, timetables, old adds and much more. Everything was very collectable and they stayed away from 'gifts' such as mugs, pens, magnets and keychains and t-shirts.
The store was very good and very unique. Unfortunately, it went out of business about 4 years ago.

I have heard of this place. I have never been there, so I cannot say if it has what you are looking for. But it is near ORD.
