Consider It Done to Close Saturday in Downtown Downers Grove

The store, 5133 Main St., is holding its "going out of business sale" this week.

One of downtown Downers Grove's most popular gift shops, Consider It Done, will close its doors Saturday.

The store, 5133 Main St., is holding its "going out of business sale" this week. All merchandise is 50 percent off, and holiday items are discounted by 75 percent.

Consider It Done opened in October 2000 using the slogan, "Come with Laughs, Leave with Treasures." The store carries gift baskets, whimsical clocks, humorous and inspirational wooden signs, picture frames, outdoor decor, baby gifts and more.

Prior to opening the store, owner Betty Jane "B.J." Boyd made custom gift baskets for seven years out of the basement of Dream Interiors.

Boyd died in September after an eight-month battle with cancer. She was 60.

Boyd's husband, Ken, and their children, Nick and Annie, set up a makeshift tribute to B.J. in the store, where customers can view photos and leave their favorite memories of Consider It Done.

"She was the heart and soul of this place," Annie Boyd said. "It was her labor of love, her happy place. It just isn't the same without her."
