The Personalized Gift Specialist

Leslie Berkowitz

Since 2001, I’ve been creating unique personalized gifts for all occasions, but it’s really our thoughtful personalized customer service that sets us apart. I am your personal concierge for gifting!

Kidoodles specializes in creating unique hand painted items, embroidery and monogramming; and custom gift baskets for babies, kids, campers, teachers and occasions including graduation, housewarming, hostess, travel and pretty much anything you can think of.

Initial It Gifts is a natural extension of Kidoodles, our original personalized baby and kids’ gift store. As our customer base grew and matured, our product line did as well and we recognized the need to create an additional arm of our business for corporate, closings, weddings and more…

Our aim is to simplify your shopping experience by helping you to find the gift that fits your needs, is within your price range and most importantly, will be perfect for the recipient. And of course, gift wrapping is always complementary.

We love creating personalized gifts that you will be excited to give and that recipients really appreciate receiving. We take pride in our products, our customer service, and the relationships that we have developed with our customers. I’m happy to speak with you about any gifting needs you may have either over the phone, via email, or in person at my Northbrook showroom.
