I couldn't go a week without popping into this store to get something, a card, bookmarks, a trinket, something. I made Easter baskets for my friends all with items from this store. And Welcome to London sets from this store as well. There is a style of something for any one that you are looking to give to and the prices are really reasonable. Best of all, you can send a one-of-a-kind greeting that looks good and didn't bust the bank.

I am not earning the kind of money yet that can keep me in Smythson, but it is always something to aspire to! While the shop seems a little serious, and steeped in tradition, there is quite a whimsical and modern touch to a lot of the Smythson products. They sell little notebooks with phrases on the front like 'Therapy Notes', 'Seduction Notes', 'Me Me Me', and my favourite - 'Blondes/ Brunettes/ Red Heads'. This one is obviously for the man about town who wants to give his little black book and extra personalisation. The designers at Smythson are inventive, and clearly keep an eye out for the latest trends, fabrics and fashions. This is not just a shop to look for a present for Grandma or Grandpa; anyone of any age would appreciate something form here.

Smython's address books are and diaries are expensive, but renowned for being exceptionally made and sporting special lightweight, but high quality, paper. The name is practically synonymous with leather-bound goods of paramount excellence - when you pick one up you really can feel that these books are indeed in a superior league... the leather feels beautiful to the touch and the gilding edging is such a hallmark of luxurious attention to detail. Obviously, guys, don't go here to pick up a gift for your girlfriend for Christmas...(hate to even have to say it, but sometimes...) since everything here has more of a *professional* quality about it... but if you're hunting for something for your dad, or want to show your friend how much you admire their latest professional achievement - or merely want to convey to someone that they have your vote of confidence regarding their next business or individual venture - Smythson is definitely your shop.

"Card Bureau" - in small, harsh neon letters no less - is such a stern name for a shop that gives so generously. On its 2 large floors, you'll find loads of wrapping paper, tissue paper, gift bags, ribbon, stationery, notepads, balloons, party gifts/favours, calendars, games, knick-knacks, and yes, cards (and I'm sure I'm forgetting something).

There's a lot of merchandise to choose from, from clothes to stationary to books to toys. There's also 2 realistic looking statues of Paddington inside the store you can pose with. Since our hotel was literally across the street, we went back twice with 2 different British friends who had never been and also thought it was really cute. The second time around I also went back specifically for a keychain version of Paddington. To this day it's still one of my favorite souvenirs from London.
