Paper Source is located in Suburban Square in Ardmore. They have had this location for years. It's…read morea solid spot for cards, wrapping paper, gifts, party favors and decorations, and seasonal decor. They seem to understaff the store, but it appears to run smoothly. I'm not sure how it would turn out if they were packed with customers. Every visit when I have been there I'm one of less than 10 customers, so it works out.

Eric Wells is an enterprising young man with Down's Syndrome who decided to open a store where people with different mental abilities can sell their artwork & crafts, along with unique gift items. Eric also sells informational and children's books about including individuals with special needs into our lives. They are located in the Rosemont Farmer's Market, with plenty of free parking. Open Thursday - Sunday. I am seriously excited about this business and am really looking forward to my next visit!

What a great shop! They have a wonderful selection of gifts, including things for adults, kids, and…read morebabies. They also have a wonderful selection of locally made gifts (only place I've ever seen Bryn Mawr-themed items!) and Philadelphia sports-themed items. I got all my holiday shopping done in one stop! I also got to meet Eric who was wonderful, and he helped me pick out the perfect gift for my mother. I was also glad to hear about the wonderful work the shop supports. Their new space is beautiful and welcoming; I can't recommend this shop enough! Of note, their address in Yelp is incorrect. They are now located at 814 W. Lancaster Ave (right down the street from the Bryn Mawr film institute).

Flew in from Texas to stay with family and I needed bar soap. Went to Whole Foods and picked this…read moreup on a whim because I love to support local businesses, especially with my hometown on the label. SO GLAD I DID!! This is the best soap I've used, clean and simple ingredients with a pure scent. The bar doesn't melt fast, which makes the $8 worth every penny. I went back to Whole Foods for another bar, unfortunately for me they sold out. Fortunately for Abiyah! Did a little research and found they have a store front. I'm so excited to go in and smell all the items.

After almost 20 years Barnes & Noble is back in the same location. They have made many upgrades and…read moreof course still have all of your old favorites. They have a private parking lot and occupy both floors as they did in the past. The upstairs, which is accessible by elevator, had a Starbucks and a nice seating area. You are welcome to their free WiFi and can stay as long as you like. No purchase necessary! You can take books and magazines from the shelf to peruse while you are there. In addition to the wide variety of books and magazines, they have a gift section with puzzles, board games, stationary, wrapping paper and more. The staff seemed absolutely delighted and were eager to help and promote the store. They have more regional control over their offerings and have a nice selection of Philadelphia items in stock. They also have regular events and I was told Ginger Spice will be there in April to promote her kids book. Still has that brand new smell, stop in and check it out, great to have them back in the neighborhood!

B&N launched an initiative to open dozens of new stores in 2025. This is one of them. After 20…read moreyears away, Barnes & Noble is back in the same location in Bryn Mawr! B&N realizes that people need community spaces, and their new stores are a way to promote places for people to gather. This location has community events with local and national touring authors as well. I saw Ginger Spice on her YA Fantasy book series in April, and I made a friend at the event. WTG on building community, B&N. There is plenty of parking, and it's an easy walk from the Bryn Mawr regional rail station. They have books and toys on 2 floors, and a cafe upstairs. The staff is really friendly, and if you mention their community events, they will clue you into what's on the calendar. I always support local bookstores over chains, and that won't change. But the community events that this location hosts are a great addition to the neighborhood. Thanks for returning to Bryn Mawr, B&N!
