Not really a paper store despite the name. Been coming to this chain (see Barnes and Noble) for decades for just-the-right sheet of gift wrap, note card, party favor or unique gift I missed elsewhere. Occasionally, we admittedly just come to see what's new for the season or pick up a new writing journal when the mood strikes.... Overall a charming upscale novelty gift shop. Parking is somewhat challenging in the free lot out front shared with Gotts Roadside (this year).

DO NOT LET THEM DO ANYTHING!!! I bought a gorgeous piece of wrapping paper to wrap my wife's present in and the lady rolled/taped it. I didn't think too much of it at the time but 24hrs later I'm fucking iron the paper hoping the design isn't ruined. The people there are barbarians. You sell nice shit why don't you know how to handle it!!!!

Great place to pick up stationary and special occasion gift wrap etc. my only comment is my personal preference of items to shop for like art materials and journals.

Lots of quirky, creative, and artistic stationary with helpful, friendly staff and reasonable prices. Now that I discovered Paper Source, I'm embarrassed I ever used to use the lame Target/grocery store card aisles

Yesterday, I called and spoke with the manager to inquire about gift wrapping services. I informed her that I was looking to get my gift wrapped tomorrow. I also inquired about gift wrap for babies and a gender reveal. She told me about 2 other stores that were larger and informed me of the prices. I came in today to get my one gift wrapped. She stated that it will be ready for pickup tomorrow. She went on to say that it is pretty standard for a 24 hour turn around. I drove a long way to get my gift wrapped, and she refused to do it on spot even though it was not crowded in the store. I stated that I had called and she did not tell me about the 24 hour period. She stated that it's up to the discretion of the store to do on spot gift wrapping. I will never patronize this business location. This 24 policy should be on their website.

Love cute stationary stores like Paper Source - so much to see and read. I truly enjoy reading all the fun and cute book covers, office notepads, calendars, toys, etc. My kids love their toys and baby book selection - just got them these board books with baby shark songs and they can't stop listening to them. I also got my nanny this book that she can record what my toddler says (like a daily diary), so we can reflect on the smartest and funniest things he says! Love that they have Capri Blue candles (my favorite candles!) and Sugarfina candies! Their witty gift bags are perfect for my successful yet glam sister friends. The management is friendly and sweet, but some of the people working here (the newer people) definitely need some customer service training from their leadership team. Other than that (and the crazy prices - yes, spent about $100 on five items!!!), Paper Source is such an entertaining store with lots of stationary selections to choose from and that always has a theme for upcoming holidays (ie Halloween, Boss' Day in October) on display in front.

I love cute little stationary stores like this one! I love browsing at all the little random books, stationary, and gifts this place has to offer. They also have really cute greeting cards for all sorts of occasions. I came here specifically looking for a bridal shower gift. They didn't have a huge selection, but I did find this newlywed daily journal/question book for my friend and soon-to-be-hubby to fill out together. I also bought a "baby's first year" album for my little one!

Yesterday was my 2nd time at this store in less than a week. They sell beautifully crafted papers that I cannot find in other craft stores like Joann, Michaels, and Hobby Lobby. Unlike these stores, Paper Source does not offer coupons so everything is full price. Because I am making handmade greeting cards for some of my teacher colleagues and mentors, I decided to spend a little extra on some of my supplies. Also, I had to stop by for this large pencil plush I spotted a few days ago. It will look perfect on my desk for this upcoming school year. Because this is the last week of school, their small pencil plush was sold out so my bf was pretty sad he didn't get his hands on it. This is the perfect place for fidget toys, invitations, crafting materials. and cute gifts, stationery, and gift wrap. I sure hope they don't close this store since many Paper Source stores are closed permanently around the Bay Area.

Wonderful and unique items are always abundant in this store but the customer service continues to be horrendous. The staff appears too busy to ever greet anyone and the few times they have, it's done so with a bad attitude. It's too bad because shopping a brick & mortar is so good for the community but this staff makes you want to shop online instead.

Not sure what happened to the well run, helpful and friendly management but I went in today and 2 of the 3 people working were not just rude to me but also other customers. One customer even looked at me after she was rudely asked to stand on a circle for COVID spacing like "what the heck". There are ways to politely ask but the tone of the employee was not cool. The person ringing up rolled her eyes at a customer out of frustration. Clearly an off day for this store but still not acceptable. I hope they get better for the holidays because it's not fun to shop with rude employees.

I wandered into the store after seeing the weekly calendar planners through the window. I've had problems finding the perfect one for 2022. There are a lot of wonderful items. It's a little pricey, but if you can find a sale going on, definitely recommend purchasing. The salespeople I encountered were pleasant. Will definitely return when I need something else that is special.
