Since my child has been home from college, she's been dragging me to every comic and anime shop she…read morecan find -- and this one was such a cute surprise! The store is filled with anime figurines, kawaii items, K-pop merch, stationery, and so many adorable finds. She picked out a super cute hat with ears that actually move, which was a huge hit. Everyone working there was very nice and helpful, and the shop itself was clean, bright, and well organized. I'd absolutely recommend this spot to anyone who loves anime, kawaii culture, or just really cute things. We'll definitely be back!

I recently took them to this shop to choose a treat and used it as a bargaining tool to get Korean bbq afterwards. We spent .. a LOT ... of time checking out every single aisle, and examining every single item so they could each choose a treat. My three-year old chose a little plastic pink bunny that holds (great quality) hair ties. My seven-year old chose My Melody washi tape. If I had no self control, I would have picked every single one of their pens, a Cinnamaroll claw clip, BTS pillow, and ALL the stickers. Luckily I looked at all the prices and stopped myself -- you can get a lot of the same things at Miniso for a better price these days. This is truly the place to get a hit of dopamine.

The prices are pretty reasonable. And I don't have to scroll endlessly through a giant online retailer, hoping that the right item catches my eye. What do I come here for? Definitely cards and wrapping paper. Paper kits and little toys for my kids. Quirky gifts for friends, like a mushroom-shaped lamp or a boba-shaped plushie. Journals and trendy cookbooks. Holiday merchandise, including for Christmas, Hanukkah, and Pride. (The store seems to have a welcoming, inclusive environment.) I wouldn't think that I'd like a chain paper store so much. But this Paper Source is a really cute spot that's worth checking out if you're in the area.

I've always been a huge fan of Paper Source, as I collect stationery and greeting cards. As other…read morePaper Source stores, this place is jam-packed with a variety of different cards, gift items, everything you need to be crafty, gift wraps, and the list goes on. You can spend a pretty good amount of time, perusing through their things, because everything that they have, you just want to buy! Seasonal items include cute ornaments, gag gifts, and other decor items that sprinkle some festivity in your home. I purchased some Hanukkah cards and a birthday card that I'm super excited about in attaching with gifts. Located in Boro Place, the staff here are super friendly and helpful - feel free to ask for any assistance! Parking garage and metered parking available.

They got rid of their little wine bar several years ago but have expanded their children's section into a comfortable little nook that is perfect for finding your next best read. They also have the best gift selection for adults and children and tons of unique activity books (perfect for snowstorms like this weekend!). Love, love, love this shop.

Jill did an amazing job and made the whole thing easy and the end result was exactly what the my daughter wanted. She had gone somewhere else and came away more confused and freaked out by all of the choices and decisions. Jill streamlined the whole thing, had excellent suggestions and took all of the stress out of it. Jill is patient, creative and lovely to work with. The signage part of the wedding process began as our most stressful element until we met Jill - it then became the easiest. I could not recommend The Dandelion Patch in McLean more highly.

Virginia helped me with all of my wedding paper products from save the dates, wedding invitations to thank you notes, bridal shower invitations, day of paper products (programs, personalized napkins) a beautiful embossed wedding guest book and more. I will post pictures and provide a more detailed review later. This gift shop is McLean's best kept secret. This is one of my favorite gift shops in the Washington, DC area. It is the place to go to for ANYTHING PERSONALIZED. They know literally everything there is to know about monogram etiquette and overall personalization (they will even tell you cool/ different places to monogram so you're not like everyone else). The store is beautiful - they have something for everyone. Guys - don't be discouraged by the name. There are gifts for men too - flasks, valets, things that will really be treasured.
