Paper Source

I just love this place. So much to see. From cards, wrapping paper, printable paper, invitations to all sorts of "cool stuff". Great for the whole family. Customer service is awesome. I strongly suggest. 👍🏻

Cards are overpriced by a $1 or $2 compared to suggested retail. Box card selection is limited and overpriced. Lots of gimmicky items rather than real stationery. Stopped carrying Meri Meri stickers

Limited of greeting card selection. But has a good selection of various gift items

Always the perfect place for gifts to give... and of course, for ourselves! Books and writing ✍️ ✨️ feeds the Soul! Also, the lovely customer service makes it a perfect in person shopping experience!🦋✍️

A wonderful place for your writing or wrapping needs. Paper Source was founded in 1983 by Susan Lindstrom in Chicago, Illinois. As of 2025, Paper Source operates 117 stores across 28 states. In 2021, Paper Source was acquired by Elliott Management Corporation, the owner of Barnes & Noble. Their Facebook site states, "We inspire you to Do Something Creative Every Day!" and I believe it. It seemed that they had something for everyone. I first visited one of these stores in Old Town Alexandria and immediately liked them.
