A bit pricey but fun to look around in…read more Parking is hard to find as there are a lot of spaces here that say no parking but there are definitely cars parked in front of the sign. No taking photos inside (there are a bunch of different signs telling you this) so it's hard to describe what's for sale. Fun to take a gander inside if you happen to be in the area and find a parking spot but probably not the most exciting place to go for specifically since you'd have to fight traffic and very confusing parking rules to get here.

Had lunch at Urth Caffe with my daughter after the gym (still in our gym clothes) while walking…read moreback to our car we came across this cute looking store. Walked in, liked some things and bought some things. As we were ready to leave we noticed the wall in the back with the art displays. They have a beautiful piece with what looks like a woman in a turban or headpiece. They also have it painted on the wall. Considering it's permanently on the wall, think safe assumption, the woman behind desk would know the history of the painting. She said she didn't. And not in an I just work here kind of way but in a snobby tone. We got the impression she judged a book by its cover...like I said we were in gym clothes. She made it clear she had no interest in wasting her time on us. I'd like to go back and support the independent artists but not at the cost of a snob. I asked because I was interested in purchasing the painting but not after that encounter.

Not only did I find an assortment of notebooks but also other unique items. They carry Moleskin journals but also products by local businesses. I ended up purchasing a water bottle and a set of journal by Culver City-based business, Molly & Rex. My after-school job in high school was at a small, stationery and art store. Because of that, I love stationery stores and visit a lot of locally-owned ones. Landis Stationery is one of the best in L.A.-- that's why they've been around since 1930! They have both practical items and unique gifts-- for others and for yourself!

I went in for Stationery Store Day and grabbed some really cool calligraphy pens - I should've gotten more, but I still had one more stop to make. Metered parking is on the street, and there is plenty of it. Owners were lovely and so excited for the stationery fans that were coming in that day. Respectfully reviewed.

The shop has another location in Hudson, NY. [Parking]: Metered parking in Atwater Village, but luckily I found a metered parking spot across from the shop at 5 PM on Saturday. [Selection]: Very organized shop as pens are ordered by rainbow color. The shop sells a decent selection of Valentine's Day cards. The staff was friendly and even asked customers on what they were looking for. In addition to greeting cards and stationery, they also have candles, tote bags, etc. The shop also offers gift wrapping service and apparently they even sell red rose bouquets during Valentine week. [Gift wrapping service]: The service is only available at brick & mortar locations. Materials are purchased separately and holiday rush fees may be applied. The shop offers complimentary gift wrap on all in-store purchases (customer's choice of kraft box or kraft wrap with twine). During the busy holiday season, the staff may asks customers to drop off gifts and pick up at a later determined time. * Small (e.g. Small Book, Journal, Pen Box, Candle) = $8 * Medium (e.g. Shoe Box, iPad, Shirt Box) = $10 * Large (e.g. Oversized Books, Laptop, Coat) = $12 * Extra Large (oversized) (e.g. Oversized Kids Toys, Bedding Sets, Large Framed Art, TV) = $20+ [Conclusion]: The shop has a more diverse selection and is not limited to just Japanese style cute stationery. This is really a one-stop shop for anyone looking for a last minute gift.

I'm not sure how I missed this charming gift shop all these years…read more Located right on Silver Lake Blvd, this shop has a very beautifully curated collection. Some things of particular note: many books about interesting and obscure topics. This included a book about some of the esoteric societies involved in building the Los Angeles we know today. There is an excellent selection of really beautiful Japanese pottery, including some delightfully adorable tiny vases. Along with this there were an assortment of Japanese dolls, dainty jewelry and a lovely selection of cards. Pauline who was working behind the counter was very helpful and friendly as we chatted about the books on display. Prices might be a bit high, but I didn't feel like they were exorbitantly expensive. Will definitely return.

I was looking for a unique and classy card for my daughter. I did not want to give her a card that…read moreI could find in the local drugstore. The website caught my attention. I saw a card with the perfect caption on the front. I wanted a blank card so I could add my personal thoughts. The envelope had gold polka dots on the inside. This card was perfect because my daughter loves polka dots. The store is quaint and charming in a lovely area of Brentwood. Joy was helpful, pleasant, and very sweet. I came just before they closed and they were out of stock. Joy took my number and said she would check if their studio had any in stock. I received a call by 10am the next day stating that the manager picked up my card and that it is in stock. The card and envelope was a very heavy card stock which also made it unique. I will definitely visit Sugar Paper again!

You can find its products at stores like Target, but apparently planners listed on its own website are produced with higher-quality paper and materials than the ones at Target. Sugar Paper currently has two brick-and-mortar shops with one located in Brentwood Country Mart in Brentwood and another in Lido Marina Village in Newport Beach. [Parking]: Brentwood Country Mart allows up to 1 hour of free validated parking and Sugar Paper does validate parking tickets. [Selection]: If you are into a black, gold, and light pink color palette, then this shop is for you. Some of the items include notebooks, notepads, calendars, pens, candles, greeting cards, gift wrap, etc. [Conclusion]: The style isn't exactly my cup of tea, but it is nonetheless an elegant stationery shop to check out.
