In my line of work, building relationships and stewarding high-value clients is everything. More…read morethan 80% of our business comes from repeat clients, so creating thoughtful, memorable experiences isn't optional, it's essential. Finding gifts that feel luxurious, practical, beautiful, and still budget-conscious is surprisingly difficult. I spent months searching for something with real impact and kept coming up disappointed. Then one day while scrolling Instagram, I discovered ROX INK Calligraphy & Engraving - and immediately stopped in my tracks. Rox's craftsmanship is exceptional. Her mastery of calligraphy and engraving instantly stood out. In a world where so much feels mass-produced, her work feels personal, elevated, and rare. Working with Rox was effortless from the beginning. Her aesthetic is sophisticated and refined, and as a fellow small business owner, she understands budgets and makes thoughtful recommendations that maximize impact without overspending. After sampling a few ideas, we landed on sleek black custom-branded notebooks with gold foil lettering - and they were a huge hit with my clients. Elegant, polished, memorable, and absolutely worth every penny. But what impressed me most was how versatile and special her work truly is. After seeing her calligraphy, I gifted Rox's services to my best friend as a wedding present. Hand-calligraphed invitations are such a luxury detail - the kind people admire but often cut from the budget. I knew my friend would never splurge on it herself, so I arranged a Zoom introduction with Rox and she took care of everything from there. The experience was incredible. Once the bride selected her font and ink colors, Rox handled the entire process seamlessly. We shipped the invitations from Los Angeles to Phoenix, and Rox addressed nearly 200 invitations by hand, applied the postage we provided, and even mailed them herself. A white-glove experience from start to finish. It wasn't a traditional wedding gift - it was better. It was thoughtful, elevated, and unforgettable. The bride and guests talked about those invitations for weeks. Working with Rox is a no-brainer. Her work creates moments people remember. The reaction my clients have when they receive one of her pieces is the best return on investment I could ask for.

I really enjoyed visiting and found some fun paper to work for my projects, which was all reasonably priced, but they specialize more with invitations, verse having an extensive amount of paper for home projects or crafting.

We had such an amazing experience with Scribble to Script for my daughter…read more We sought their expertise after my daughter was diagnosed with ADHD at 6 and they helped identify some primitive reflexes still active that needed their specific OT help.

I never realized how much I cared about stationary till I started working with Heidi! As a designer myself, I was very particular about what I wanted and at times felt I was being a bit overbearing. But Heidi never made me feel like it was an issue. She listened to my requests and made sure we were sticking to our timeline. Our correspondence was super professional and her responses were always timely. Her suggestion to use embossed holographic foil was 100% worth splurging a little. It was exactly what I wanted to convey as a teaser of what our wedding would be to our guests. I wish we had a larger budget to do more elaborate escort cards, but Heidi's suggestion to color code the printed text based on everyone's dinner choice was brilliant!

They're clearly experts and passionate about the product in store. You definitely have help if needed. I was impressed that they carry products from Traveler's Company in store as that's not something I see often or at all in any stationery stores in AZ. They have a large selection of inks which really stood out to me. They have all kinds of pens, and I believe they offer engraving as well. They also carry a knife selection in the back of the store. Definitely a fan of this place and will be coming back. :)

They offered to redo the work but it was now way too late as waiting for new invitations would mean some relatives wouldn't get the invitations until likely after plans could have been made.

We wound up contacting our relatives and friends by email and phone and had help from our wedding party to contact the entire guest list. They refused a refund on the basis that they offered to redo the work. If you are going to use this business, make sure the invitations are ordered SO early that they have time to redo their work and DEMAND that there is a deadline for CORRECTLY DONE WORK in your contract with a REQUIREMENT of a refund if they fail to meet the agreed upon deadline!

I wouldn't recommend going to see them for a "massage" (although they will jerk you off if you are a good Christian), but I certainly wouldn't recommend them for "stationary".
