Since I do most of my card shopping here, it gets tricky to make sure I don't buy repeats for the same person. So I'd love more refresh of cards more often. Also, I feel like it's gotten better, but the employees really do make you feel judged! You can definitely tell you're in a snooty area when you shop in here, with the products and the attitude! Also, I absolutely LOVE how much they deck out the store for Christmas

I found Lovely Paperie and Gifts online before visiting Cleveland and I'm so glad I took the time…read moreto go! The store is absolutely adorable. It's one of those places where you could go without needing anything and always walk out with something. I personally got caught up in the Lilly Pulitzer section and didn't explore the back half of the store, which gives me more to discover on my next visit. So happy to have found this gem.

I could easily spend hours here, and did, last Sunday! What gorgeous decor, layout, vibes and selection they have! Workers were really friendly as well. The prices of books were high though--no discount at all for new books. Fine to support local but this is why the library will still always be my favorite. What I was confused about is how the books are organized because it is not by author nor by used/new. I'm pretty sure new books were placed right next to pre-owned ones on the same shelf... I did enjoy all the gift and merchandise displays. They were all set up in a way that looked irresistible to buy! My BF bought this photography coffee table book he was really excited about and I got a children's novel illustrated by Jon Klassen (big fans!).

The people working there were very knowledgeable and friendly. The book collection alone is incredible. There is multiple room rooms and the sanctuary holds very old and important books and is definitely interesting to look around in. They also have a cute gift shop that has very cool gifts and handmade items as well. Totally a great find if you are looking for something fun to do, or just looking for a few books.

The prices are reasonable and the curation is top-notch. The current collection of vintage clothes on offer didn't match my vibe but I'll keep coming back to check out new stock, hopefully in the near future. I did end up getting a massive holographic ring that can subtly provide a personality to my boring work clothes. The ring was $6. My friend was very interested in the great selection of high-end pens that are sold here as well. What a fun boutique!

This is an amazing Japanese stationery store plus gift shop. You can find very unique items here…read morefrom vintage clothing, funky and quirky things, tea cups, jewelry, etc. I finally visited in December 2023 where I met the owner, Haley Himiko (I forgot her last name). She was very nice and explained how her grandmother is Japanese; hence, why the store has some Japanese notebooks. She also told me about Kinokuniya bookstore in NYC and J-Avenue in Columbus, Ohio which sell Japanese stationery and books. I bought 2 Midori notebooks as a Christmas gift for my sister: the B6 Slim Blank for $13 and the larger notebook, the A5 Blank for $15. I also bought a pretty cool looking picture frame for my parents for Christmas - it is also a clock for $42 which is a great price for such a unique piece of art. I highly recommend that you visit Cool World store if you are looking for a Christmas gift, birthday gift, or you just want to browse and maybe purchase something for yourself. I can't wait to come back to buy some Japanese stationery for myself. **** - 98/150 total reviews in 2023 - 649 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 20 December 2023
