The Paper Source was founded by Susan Lindstrom who was inspired to open the business after a trip to Japan where she was exposed to refined stationary. In 1983 she opened the first Paper Source in Chicago. In 2021 the Paper Source was sold to Barnes and Noble. Today there are over 120 Paper Source stores across the United States selling wrapping paper, home goods, gifts, party supplies, paper crafts, craft supplies, toys, announcements, planners, calendars, personalized stationary, pens, totes, greeting cards, books, and more. Fun fact, Megan, the Duchess of Sussex worked as a calligraphy instructor at the Beverly Hills Paper Source from 2004 to 2005.
The Paper Source is located in Delray Place on the corner of Linton Blvd. and Federal Highway. This was my first visit and I was impressed with the inventory and how it was displayed by like items in the bright and cheery store. If you wanted to find a hostess gift for your foodie friend, it was very easy to find the right display that had cookbooks, dishes, and totes. I especially loved their Halloween collection with decorations, candles, toys, and stationary. Prices seemed on the more expensive side, a tea light for example was $16 but they have two tiers of Membership, one that is free and one for $39.99 that can give you an additional discount along with other benefits. They also have sales throughout the store like a buy one, get one half off on paper craft kits.
By visiting the Paper Source website I learned that you can do $10 virtual classes with them, supplies not included. I feel like I have just scratched the surface of all that the Paper Source has to offer. The craft kids were some of my favorite items. I love anything that gets the kids off the electronics and using their hands and minds. Now that I have discovered Paper Source I will be back for that unique greeting card and one of a kind gift. read more
