I just want to buy.all.the.notebooks Loved their products, not only because of the variety of items, but also for the cute designs. The shop is really pretty and the staff were super nice and helpful. I'm glad I don't have one of these where I live cause I'd simply go bankrupt.

Nothing bad, nothing extraordinary about this Ryman shop. However it's got some perks:…read more - opening hours to start with!!

Hands down the best card shop in the Liverpool Street Station area, Scribbler is the place to go if the recipient of theoretical card has a) taste, b) eyes, or c) all of the above. Quite simply a really great card shop.

They do have a huge range of 'proper' cards too, you know, one you could send your Grandmother. But they're not quite as funny! It doesn't matter if you're in the market for a greeting card or not, pop in and spend half an hour laughing your face off!

Oh Paperchase. How I love your quirky cards and diaries so beautiful that it seems a crime to…read moreactually write in them. Your overpriced pens patterned with flamingoes and wrapping paper that makes you want to paper your walls with it. Your treasure trove of stationery supplies that's all just so much prettier than smiths or rymans. Your neverending supply of random last minute gifts - owl-patterned tissues, neon photo frames, false taches and sparkly phone covers anyone? You have just taken away the one thing I relied on you most for though, that made you different from all the other craft shops in the area, and that was having single pieces of card available in a spectrum of 30+ colours and in every size from placecard up to A3 with matching envelopes. Until last week these used to cover the back wall and make it so easy to pop over from my office (practically across the road) and pick up a base card piece plus envelope to make a last minute card for a loved one. Now I have to spend a tenner on a multi-coloured bulk pack of card (of which I won't use many colours) if I want to do the same thing. Plus a bulk pack of envelopes. Annoying dot com. Luckily, I still love you even without that mega useful aspect and in spite of how much you just charged me for a set of 12 tiny wooden craft pegs with heart shapes on them. Though I'd avoid the lunchtime surge if poss - I quite like escaping for an afternoon browse myself. Also watch out if you're very sensitive to the passage of time - they stock Vday paraphernalia from new year and xmas starts in September!
