Selections for men as well: grooming and soap, flashlight caps, and clever, irreverent socks for everyone. I love coming into this store. It's also a lovely place to get a reasonable "thinking of you" gift for a friend or neighbor. Inventory is contemporary and has a little something for every age: toys for children, rich lotions for adults, Hallmark souvenirs. The staff is kind and everyone there cares about their customers and the quality of the merchandise they offer. If you're into engraving, they can do that too. I love the kitchen towels and pet-themed gifts for those of us whose children have four legs and a tail.

This is a great place to shop for your friends and family if they love stationery. The space is very well laid out and offers a relaxed shopping experience. Staff are nice and they offer to help if you need it. Most of the time when I went, I browsed without assistance. Prices are a little higher here than other box-retail stores. It is a small business and they're a bit more artisanal than a regular store that has a small dedicated stationery area.
