Be sure to check out the assorted cook books they feature as well as local tea towels and knick knacks. I love going in whenever we are in Collingswood. The staff are incredibly lovely and knowledgeable. There is a little bit of something for each family member in all price ranges.

Omoi was close to where we were coming to / heading to, so I bookmarked it and we managed to stop by before they closed. It was actually really poppin when we got there, despite the fact that it was about 30 minutes to closing time. I wasn't really on the market for anything, just wanted to browse. I ended up picking up some cute notepads for a friend and some washi tape for myself. I love that they sold matchbooks here! I am an avid matchbook collector, despite not smoking a day in my life. Staff were super nice and very friendly.

I found the prices to be fair and par with what you would pay at less niche stores, though their inventory featured items that I have never seen anywhere else.

This is a cute little shop with high end cards and gift items, plus the option to design your own stationary. I definitely enjoyed the eye candy, but couldn't see myself shopping here often -- maybe more for inspiration or a special occasion, since their cards average out to ~$5 a pop. They do have a nice variety of classy and cheeky cards. If you are a letterpress nerd who loves the feel of luxury cardstock, it will be delightful. I particularly appreciate that they carry quite a lot of cards and products by Emily McDowell, a graphic designer I much admire. (PS she makes the best "get well" cards, if you haven't encountered them before.)

They're extremely professional and creative. They walk you through your options and ensure you make the choice that is right for you and your budget- NOTE - make sure you mention your budget so you do not fall in love with something that will completely destroy you! I was impressed by the many options they presented for the invites, but also how well they coordinated our invites with our table number displays. They are expensive, but honestly they're worth it. Such wonderful work and extremely fast turn around times!

I came from out of town to see my in laws and I fell in love with this place. It's a bit of trek from Carlisle but totally with it. It's fun and hip and the owner, Joan, is a sweetheart. I told her that my hubs and I were visiting and she was so kind. She told us about the history of the pen shoppe and showed us around. I absolutely loved it. This place is what i would call creative and beautiful chaos. Its cluttered with the magic of different pens and writing utensils including notebooks, pens, inks and novelty items. I got big into fountain pens and notebooks many moons ago, thanks to a best friend but I've always loved to write so this place was heaven to me. I love reading all the fun little interesting artifacts, looking at all the pens and everything else. I wish I had more time there. The prices were very decent and I ended up going coming with a Platinum Plaisir (f) (if you know you know....) a converter, a t-shirt and a hodge podge of stickers -- ugh, just love....I really felt at home here because I felt so "in my element". Anyways, I digress. As a whole, visiting here was so much fun! Joan also took a picture of us so she could display it on her changing photo album of her customers that have been going to the store for years. It was a sweet gesture. I highly suggest that if you are in the area and are a pen/stationary/notebook aficionado to visit Pippi's Pen Shoppe -- you WILL NOT be disappointed!! Also, HI JOANNN!! Thanks for being awesome and keep up the great work! :)

I had never been in a store dedicated almost entirely to pencils, pens, and writing materials…read morebefore, so this was such a unique experience. This shop has been in business for over 25 years, and you can really feel the history and passion behind it. I had so much fun browsing--there were so many different types of pens, shapes, and quality levels to explore. Even if you're not specifically shopping for something, it's a really interesting place to look around. I actually didn't plan on stopping in and wasn't even sure it would be open based on the time I arrived, but I'm so glad it was. The owner was incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. I ended up purchasing a pencil and a seal, and I'll definitely be back--this would be a great place to find a thoughtful, high-quality gift (especially for something like Father's Day). Also, a really cool bonus: there's an Airbnb located on the second floor, which adds to the charm of the space.

Their lovely selection is no match for their inexcusably rude behavior. I went in on a quiet…read moreMonday morning to find a special anniversary card for family friends (their 70th). I wanted to get something very elegant and fancy and in that respect, the Paperia delivered. However, even though two women were behind the counter doing naught but talking with each other, I was not greeted with so much as a "hi" "let alone a warm "hello" or "good morning." As I went around the store, no one offered any assistance or asked if they could help me find something. Then, when I approached the counter with my card (a little embellished number that cost $6.50), still the sales associate, or maybe manager, just scanned my item and told me the total, STILL without greeting me! It's not like I'm asking for a hug and a kiss when I walk into a store, but you need to acknowledge my presence, as well as the other customers. I guess I should have just gone to Walgreen's or something, where at least the crappy, apathetic service is matched by low prices and convenience.

Ah, the Paperia. Germantown Avenue in Chestnut Hill would not be complete without a stationery…read moreestablishment like this. It screams 'quaint and dignified' on the outside the way many Chestnut Hill stores do. I come here to buy greeting cards for any occasion and also for their abundant supply of thank-you-note stationery. There are plenty of handmade, artistic cards for birthdays, anniversaries, and other occasions that you don't find at other card stores. Despite the store's staid exterior, they actually *do* carry your regular humorous "ha ha, you're getting old" birthday cards along with the unique ones. They've got a decent selection of birthday and blank cards but when it comes to more 'minor' holidays like Mothers Day or Fathers Day, the selection is just so-so. The back room is devoted to custom-made and thank-you-note paper and cards, of which there are many. They're not cheap but the products are definitely high quality. The ladies who work there are usually nice and helpful, assisting you in finding something. You don't find many non-chain, local card stores these days anymore so I like to support Paperia for a cozier, more pleasant card-shopping experience than going to your run-of-the-mill Hallmark.
