    Paper Source near Union Square at 75 Fifth Avenue is a great location when I need to buy gifts or need a special gift wrap and don't forget a bow! They have balloons for every occasion too. I frequently find an unusual gift idea for a friend. There's greeting cards for every occasion. Yup, if you're in the neighborhood I suggest you visit this store. It's quality merchandise and fun to shop here.

    This Paper Source has it all - cards, gift wrapping, stationery, stickers, decorations, and much more, at a lower price than Papyrus. I appreciated that they had a Lunar New Year corner and LGBTQ friendly wedding cards, though I hope that in the future they'll have more than 1-2 cards! Their attentive employees are eager to help, and I like that they have post-Christmas/Hanukkah discounts (50-75% off). However, when checking out discounted items, triple check that they apply the discounts from the displays, as the bar codes often did not reflect the display discounts. I had to go back and get a refund due to the mismatch in the barcode system. Note: They don't have a loyalty program yet but will soon, likely using the system from Barnes & Noble, who just bought them.

    I came all the way here in the rain because it's supposed to be open till 9pm and at 7:49pm they were closed with no explanation...

    Time.

    Arrived at 8:06. Wouldn't let me in store. Store posting closes at 8:30. Store attendant guarding door. Rude. On Mother's Day. :/

    If you are looking for a Valentine's Day card this place has a nice selection of crafty/Etsy types. Very "pink" in here and it seems the kind of shop set up more for the ladies. Plenty of craft paper products - wrapping paper, foil, cards, gifts, stationary, seasonal items, etc. Prices seemed ok for what was offered here, but I'm no expert on this stuff. Kind of on par with Papyrus, and also they are a chain store with locations popping up around the city. Hmmmmm......wonder how much wrap and ribbon it would take to cover my naked body and send it to my Valentine?

    This store has EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING! I could spend an hour inside easy. It's kind of like papyrus on steroids. From cards to cute little gifts to go with the card this place is awesome. Staff is really helpful showing you where things are because you can get overwhelmed when you go inside! Other than that this place is perfect. They even have balloons. Things are on the pricier side.. that I guess is the only downside other than that really nice quality stuff!

I stopped by about half an hour before closing to ask about getting a recently bought pouch resized to fit my laptop. Even though I truly felt like a chicken walking around without it's head, the owners treated me with kindness and respect. While I felt sheepish about my request and my lack of of familiarity with all things sewing, their warmth helped me feel at ease. The shop itself is small, as is such with most mom and pop establishments, with Hossein working his magic in the back, buttons a galore in the front, fabrics in the middle, and ribbons scattered throughout. I could spend some time inspecting and exploring each and every texture and color available but didn't want to dilly dally too much before they were to go home. Overall, they were able to take on my sewing request--it was reasonably priced (I think!) and I helped myself to some paracord for a little craft project of mine. Very comfortable space with some people who are experts in their field and provide a very calm and reassuring energy. I'll be back to pickup some bits and bobs here and there rather than taking my business to a big retail store like I usually do. An east village gem!

Their…read morecoupons aren't as good nowadays as they used to be and I don't have as much time as I used to have either but I still love coming here and browsing. The store layout here is a big congested and feel the checkout area and online order area could be better designed. I placed an order online for store pickup and it was ready in less than 10 minutes after I placed the order, which was quite impressive (I couldn't go until a few days later). The pickup area is located to your left as soon as you get off the escalators. There really wasn't a shelf to get your items and your bags situated after you pick up your item and the waiting area was quite small. No one was there when I went to pick up but a line of about 5 people behind me formed as I got my item making it a bit tricky to navigate to leave the area while also trying to stuff my item into my bags. The general checkout area was quite tight as well. It's long and it's sometimes hard to see if a self checkout counter is open. Self checkout itself is pretty easy to use and I like how the machine is able to detect if the handheld scanner was properly placed back in its slot before it moves forward with checking you out. I was able to find my account easily and apply all my coupons during my transaction. The staff I asked about inventory were quite knowledgeable and were able to point me to the right aisle to get the things I needed. things were well stocked and neatly displayed as well.

To some degree I understand that many retailers are tighter on inventory to reduce how much needs to be sold at deeper discounts after certain holidays are over. However this also means certain things run out and there's no selection left which could also mean lost sales, which was the case when I came to look for a couple Christmas-related products a week before Christmas and much of that section looked decimated outside of wrapping paper, kitchen/dining supplies, some decorations and wearable accessories. They were already setting up for Valentine's Day. Walking around the store, I still appreciated that this location is still around, it's been a while since I've visited so I was glad to see still a strong selection of frames, scrapbooking supplies, paints, yarns and ribbons/trimmings. They also installed more self-service checkout machines. The shopping stop wasn't altogether unfruitful in that I picked up a pack of baked goods boxes (to place home-made cookies/pastries inside before gifting to others). I hope next time to find more of what I need!

When I asked basic questions about party supplies, I was offered no assistance or guidance whatsoever. On top of that, the pricing felt excessive for the level of service provided.

If you're looking for good-quality products, fair pricing, and genuinely kind, polite, and professional service, I highly recommend Balloon Saloon instead. From the moment you walk in, you're treated with respect and care. It's absolutely worth spending your money at a place where customers are welcomed and valued.

I've looked for shops like Pink Olive when I relocated to Los Angeles but it is yet to be for the West Coast. Well, it was just ADORABLE to see all the fun gift items, bought some gifts for my friend who was traveling to Europe. Because of the anniversary, shopping was double fun while munching in some GF treats! OK so prices are on the mid to high range, but you wouldn't find most of these items outside of Pink Olive. They are specially curated by the owner, Grace Kang who has a proven track record for being a buyer for major department and boutique stores. It's whimsical and unique, I feel happy being there and that day was no exception.
