Though things are a bit pricy, there were a ton of cute stationery supplies and small gadgets to choice from. Also, it seems like the target audience is more towards a younger audience compared to Hanji Gifts.

Unfortunately, the store has been having issues and has a bit of a ... stink. They advised that they'd had the problem looked into over the summer, but hadn't been able to clear the smell. Shame about that. If you're looking for unusual giftware and especially unique greeting cards, this is your place. The range of items is very impressive, including the inks, wrapping papers, bags, pens, erasers, notebooks, and all kinds of other stationery items. Same for stamps, stickers, etc. The great part is that there is very little overlap between the merchandise here and the goods carried at the other shop more or less across the street, so it's always worth your while to hit both. There is a $10 minimum for purchases on plastic (whether debit or credit) but the service is pretty good and I always end up finding something I want and love. Love coming here every time I'm in this part of town.

They're a specialty store as the store name would suggest, they're selling everything from high quality pens, to markers, to booklets, and more. To my surprise I found the inky white gel pens I've been using for my colouring books, and bought 3 different coloured ones. They were well priced and I was so happy to support a local shop! Customer service here was also top notch, with very homey vibes, and friendly staff.

So, when I found myself early for a doctor's appointment, I "accidentally" took a detour that led me right here. For those planning a more deliberate trip, it's less than half a block north of College Ave, right off the Grace St stop on the 506 streetcar. The shop has a huge selection of fountain pens and fountain pen paraphernalia and a solid range of washi tape, pens and quality notepads, including Rhodia and some nice Japanese brands. My quest for Uni Jetstream pen refills and some Traveler's Notebook swag came up empty, which I'll chalk up to it being January, prime "sold-out-of-everything" season for anything planning related. Despite that, I didn't leave empty-handed. I picked up a Life Noble Note Section A5 grid notebook, (a new brand for me) and a beautiful Zebra Sarasa Clip 3-color pen. The prices were quite reasonable, even beating some I've seen on Amazon. I also scored some 2026 Midori monthly diary stickers from the closeout cart near the register, which felt like a real victory. I'll definitely be back in a few months to check for restocks. It's a great little spot with some quality finds.

It is even not as often that we write each other a letter or a love note? Write Impressions does carry all the cards, stationary and paper needs if you do decide to send your admirers a note or to your love ones to show them your appreciation. Or you want to start keeping a Journal for a special period of your life? I found it so much personal to write that down with my own handwriting than just typing it in the computer. Write Impressions is a great store for shopping for gifts for yourself and that special someone..... And thinking of that, I need a journal for my YELP adventure!
