I love getting inspiration for my analogue journalling addiction. Great place for gifts that you didn't even know you were looking for, like avocado vases and thought books.

Incredibly good service here! Every person I spoke with was very helpful and kind. They advised me…read morehow to ship my clothes ahead to avoid checking luggage. (i.e., how to box it, fill out the form on PostNL, come back and they'd ship the box for me). Every time I stop in here I am so impressed with them. There's also cute stationery, cards, calendars, notebooks etc. Great store!

I am an expat and went in to ship 3 packages and 2 letters. I asked for help and explained that I…read morewasn't sure how everything work to which a staff member replied you need to package and figure it out yourself before coming to the register. The register is only to buy according to him. I went to another staffer who was initially helpful but then told me to slow down and that I needed to explain more carefully. Incredibly rude and honestly made me feel bad about myself. It's hard being an expat but even harder when a tall dutch guy with light brown short hair (flipped up in front) makes you feel stupid and small. DO NOT GO HERE. Try another post if you are looking for help, manners or general kindness.

Right here at Passage 15 in Central Den Haag is a classic pen shop that I return to every time I'm in town. And they've been around since 1910 and know their writing instruments, and in a friendly and accessible manner. Actually my penmanship is atrocious and is nothing like the neat and beautifully flowing left-handed writing of my parents. But I still like a good pen for its heft, good feel, comfortable writing, and maybe as a piece of pocket jewelry. At P.W. Akkerman, you'll find an extensive pen selection for all budgets, plus fine papers, notebooks, and other accessories. And then there's that unique 100th Anniversary Ink Bottle that is more art than fountain pen supply....

I took a painting on paper to be framed here. The image on the paper was not centred but I did not…read morewant the paper cut or altered. I instructed the shop to use a large mat around to accommodate the extra paper that was blank. When I picked up the framed piece I was horrified to see they had cut the paper of the painting to what they thought was nice. This is unacceptable and shows that they know nothing about art, artists or the value of an original piece. The owner's response was "well you can sue me". He had my phone number and if there was a question he could have called before mutilating the art piece. Unbelievable!!! I have taken art pieces to this shop to be framed for the past 8 years. Never again. Avoid this place if your item to be framed is of any value.

If you have a *child who you LOVE DEARLY but is maybe a bit 'rough around the edges', you must…read morecheck out Partout Lijstenmakerij. Firstly, they treat your child as their own - I have dropped off two children there and they've always been returned in better condition than when they left me (not sure what that says for me as a caretaker :\). They come back to you sleek, refined and well framed for the future; it's like they went through their own sort of etiquette school. Good price + centre of Amsterdam = does not compute! It's worth noting that Partout does this at a significantly better price than, ahem, some other places which I have previously reviewed. I will be sending all my future children to them, perhaps directly FedExed from their previous residences - Vietnam, Thailand, Cleveland - who knows! Note: No children were harmed in the writing of this review *Use of the word 'child/ren' in this review refers to pieces of art I've acquired. I don't have a cat yet, so art will be my pride and joy for now!
