We used Paper Rock Scissor for all our wedding stationary needs (Save the Dates, Invites, and day…read moreof stationary), and we can't recommend them enough! Liz and Maggie were ultra-responsive, very easy to work with, and we were incredibly happy with the final results! They were quick to respond to feedback, and the final designs they created were stunning. They even helped connect us with a local artist to create a custom monogram for our wedding, and then used elements of that monogram throughout our stationary to really make the final items stand out and feel unique. I'd highly recommend Paper Rock Scissor if you're considering a high-end stationary vendor for your wedding, or any other important purpose. We have no regrets at all with the choice we made.

I can't say enough good things about Paper Rock Scissor. We used them for our wedding save the…read moredates, invites, and day-of paper, and at every turn they blew us away. I oddly cared a lot about the stationary for our wedding (yet had no idea what I wanted, really), so asking a complete stranger to create something awesome for us was a bit of a leap of faith. However, I had a great feeling about the entire staff, and couldn't have made a better choice. They were so responsive and helpful and created a stunning final product that got us tons of props from our guests. We got married in Mexico, and the theme completely captured our theme, even though I only had a few incoherent thoughts to provide them about the "theme" of the wedding (Frida Kahlo, surfing, Mexico). My now husband also provided some incoherent thoughts (thick paper, no bows), and they managed to please both of us. Working with PRS was the highlight of our wedding planning experience, and I'd recommend them to anyone.

In addition to having an array of pens, Typo also has stationary, mugs, and a variety of other small gifts. The cashier was great at upselling me. I was swayed into adding the pencil pouch to my purchase for just $3, and she threw in the tissues in exchange for me donating $1 to a fundraiser they had going on. Overall, I loved this store and I would definitely pop in if I find myself at Mall of America again.

The process with megan is mind blowing as she coached me through the process of each, especially with developing a logo and branding pieces, something so sensitive and dear to my heart. I felt that she handled my brand as if it were her own. Her designs speak for themselves if you look at her portfolio http://maemaepaperie.com/ so i feel like it would be silly to go on about how inspired and original her work is but it is absolutely stunning. Megan is so great because her service stands up to her designs. During my logo process it was a struggle for me to discern how i felt I wanted my business to be represented. Through my indecisiveness, Megan walked me through the process and guided me on ways I can better portray my vision which ended in a difficult decision on my part because I loved each piece she offered so much. For my wedding invites we chose a collection suite plus a custom address stamp which was so unbelievably painless. She handled the printing as well. Everything was delivered in a timely manner and she gave great recommendations for envelopes & packaging. And the design was pretty awesome on top of the ease. Her passion gets me so excited about the pieces I order, the way my goods came delivered... So adorable! makes you feel valued and you never feel that she's too busy for you... even though I'm sure she is :) I work in the event industry and MaeMae Paperie is my first stationary & paper goods recommendation. She's simply outstanding.

I used MMP for my company's 70th anniversary invitations. Being that this was an auspicious…read moreoccasion for our company we wanted to make sure that we presented it to all of our invitees that way. We were not disappointed. The quality of the invitations were amazing. We used a VERY hefty paper to convey the value of these invitations and the party. Since the party was on the Queen Mary, there was a 1940's cruise line theme. The RSVP cards were even cut to represent a cruise ticket. In addition to the actual invitations we also purchased the design elements so that we could use them for internal marketing. When my graphic designer and ad agency got their invitations they were both impressed at the quality that we received. Mae Mae is a must for any event that you want to convey a sense of importance.

I stopped here as part of the Indie Bookstore Passport tour, and was struck by what a great…read morebookstore and gift shop this was. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and asked about what bookstores I've traveled to so far. The store is very close the Bde Maka Ska lake, and would make a great stop if on a bike ride around the Minneapolis lakes. Today, I drove and didn't have a problem finding parking on the street. The bookstore specializes in Native American voices and handmade arts. The interior of the store is really interesting to look at; there's a handmade canoe hanging from the ceiling and lots of handmade crafts throughout the store. I think Louise Erdrich, who is an author I enjoy, owns the store.

Nearly two weeks ago, I wanted to visit a diner on Grand Avenue in Saint Paul. On Google Maps, it…read moresaid that it was open till 4 pm on a Thursday. I got there at 2 pm and it was closed. So much for that visit. I drove along Grand Avenue to check out what was around the area. I saw Paper Source. It reminded me of a store in Winnipeg that I used to frequent. It was called The Paper Gallery. I loved it so much. If you are the type who loves stationery, greeting cards, pens, pencils, and more, you'd love this store. Paper Source gave me the same vibes. I turned around and parked on the street. It was free parking. Great! I walked into the store. My instincts were correct. The store had pens, pencils, greeting cards, and a lot of gift ideas. In short, I was in heaven! A post-Christmas sale greeted me. I saw ornaments, cards, and more all discounted. I did see the cutest felt penguin that was on sale, but the price after the sale didn't justify my getting it. I loved the pen section. From cute dog pens, to fountain ones, there was a pen for everyone. I ended up getting a disposable fountain pen. It writes well and it's the perfect size to carry in a small purse. Yet, it's the right size to write with if you have big hands. The plushies were adorable and deadly. I saw everything from avocados, to tacos. I loved the cookbooks. I wanted them all. I liked the one dedicated to soup. There were also book titles that made me crack up. If you can't think of anything to get someone as a gift, I'm pretty sure that you can find something in this store. I saw satin pillow cases, drinkware, candles, Spirograph, and more. If you're into sending cards, you can get extremely fancy by getting inkpads and stamps. I was into stamping in high school. It was nice to see how stamping has improved, but is still the same, if that makes any sense. I ended up also getting a sticky note dispenser in the shape of a typewriter. I have always loved typewriters, so I had to get it. I waited for a staffer to come to the payment area. She was pleasant and was helping another customer. I am a patient person who was not in a rush this day, so I was good. She came over and was extremely apologetic. She rang my items through her payment system. She then asked me whether I was a Paper Source, or Barnes and Noble rewards member. She uttered such magical words. I was the latter. It felt like Christmas. She let me know that my membership got me 10% off everything at the Paper Source. She also said that yearly, I get a premium tote for free. It's funny how I had eyed this tote when I first walked in. She showed me the pockets and keychain hook inside the bag that sold me. I loved it so much because the canvas thickness was perfect and it felt soft to the touch. I actually used this bag as my personal item on my flights home because it was more spacious than my purse and I could bring back more goodies! I paid with a credit card. I tapped and my transaction was done. She asked if I wanted my items in the bag. I said yes. I thanked this woman. She wished me a great day. I reciprocated and left with my new bag and goodies. I had a fun experience here. It's great when your original plans don't pan out, but you find a new store that you end up loving. (26)
