Partly a silly store for gay-themed adult novelties and gifts, and partly Chicago's go-to for bachelorette party supplies, Batteries Not Included (3420 N. Halsted St., 773-935-9900) is a fun little stop along any retail browse of Halsted Street, which is also home to such irreverent sources of gay gifts as Beatnix, GayMart, Leather Sport, and Tulip.
