This is certainly the cheapest place for cards that I can find at the moment. You can quite often get cards there for 2 or 3 euro, as well as wrapping paper and gift bags which are also reasonably priced. They have quite a selection of cards and usually have one to meet any various card-buying needs I have. Their toy selection is always great value, although I wouldn't go there looking for something specific, rather if you're looking for a little gift on the cheap you'd certainly find something serviceable here. The also stock a mishmash of household goods like glasses, frames and cleaning products which are usually exceptionally cheap, although there is no consistency of what they have in stock. Good for a rummage though!

Full of absolutely gorgeous and usual bits, from office equipment to ornaments to lunch boxes to bags, it's a must! It can sometimes get a little bit messy but you can generally find what you might be looking for. Allocate time for yourself to look through and explore everything in here!

Anyone who gets excited about stationery will want to spend a lot of time and money here. There's so many practical buys like the birthday book where you can keep record of everyone's special day or the blank recipe book where you can list everyone's famous dishes. There are racks and racks of cards for every occasion like the one that congratulates you for turning 25. Who thought 25 was such a milestone? There's also school supplies such as notebooks, pens, markers, post-its and agendas. The shop also sells the Filofax brand which is considered to be the creme de la creme of personal organizers. The best thing about Paperchase is that it makes all these day-to-day items exciting, colourful and fun.

Evans Art Supplies is everything and has everything. Evansthing? EVerything? It's nestled away just off Capel St and when you walk in, looks like it's just grown and grown over the years, with rooms opening up onto rooms which open up to even more rooms. They've got an incredible selection of paper, paint, drawing equipment, canvases, and anything else you could think of. At really reasonable prices. And the icing on the top? Incredibly friendly staff, extremely knowledgable and great at giving arty advice. It really is a pleasure to shop here! #dublinshopslocal

I can't believe I've lived in Dublin all my life and have only just discovered this shop! Excellent value too as supplies are sold at wholesale prices. They have some nice Indian papers for scrapbooking and card-making.

But when I take that short stair case down to the stationary room at Pen Corner I lose all sense of reason. Despite a less than helpful staff (blonde saleswoman of a certain age, I'm looking at you) the store continues to draw loyal customers new and old thanks to the very best selection of beautiful pens and paper products. The array of note books and journals, greeting cards and sheaf paper plus boxed and single cards is a thing of beauty. Pen Corner has made great strides to incorporate beautifully designed stock that can become your signature without a single pen stroke. I attribute this shop with my ongoing obsession of collecting interesting boxed card sets -shame I don't know enough people to use them all up. There was a bit of a scuffle with that less than friendly saleswoman over an injured pen in need of service, but otherwise I urge you to go... go now! And send me a lovely card!

For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, 'It might have been'…read more Don't let the chance of buying a quality, life-long pen pass you by! The selection of pens and pen accessories here is brilliant. I've never seen a pen store quite so well stocked and supplied. My experience: I went in today to browse the shop. I was there only to browse, I had no definite intention to purchase a pen. I do, however, like looking at fountain pens and was curious what was available. The clerk behind the counter was very polite. He asked if I needed help, I informed him I was browsing - and he said feel free and then left me alone. Brilliant! I saw a Mont Blanc pen that was on special offer. It was normally 500 Euro down to 200 Euro. I inquired why it was so cheap and the clerk told me it i because they are making room for new stock. He told me that if I wanted it, he'd give me five boxes of ink (35 carts) and a cleaner utility tool. I've always wanted a nicer fountain pen (I had previously lost an auction to get one issued by the Vatican) - so I went outside with my iPhone and looked up prices of this pen...to see if the discount was 'genuine' or 'inflated'. To my surprise, most of the sites I found were selling that pen for 400-580...sterling. This was an incredible deal! The pen itself was class. But it was the eagerness of the clerk to be helpful and 'grease' the sale that really sold it. As I said, I had no intention to buy a pen (so perhaps beware of that!)

Hughes & Hughes now run this card shop just inside the Stephens Green SC front door, according to…read morethe receipt anyway. I found the person at the till to be very pleasant. This is a huge improvement on the last company who ran this little card selling space. I did find the prices a bit high, espcially the novelty cards (ones with a bit more card board 8 EUR or ones that play music 12 EUR, if memory serves). But the regular sized card I went for wasn't too bad at 3.20 EUR

What a great little find in the quieter end of Ilac mall!…read more You actually can smell the shop several doors away, with the biggest range of incense sticks I've seen. Oil burners and essential oils are aplenty too. There are other traditional Asian products reminiscent of shops back in Singapore and Thailand. Oh and a great section on yoga mats and other props - all very reasonably priced! I bought myself a little mist diffuser after seeing it used in the store with a gorgeous lemongrass scent. The owner took the time to show me how to use and clean it, with some handy tips - great customer service :) Now don't mind me while I zen out in my lounge with a blend of lavender, bergamot and grapefruit aromatherapy...

At first I categorized Pagoda as your standard kind of crappy gift shop, but in reality I think…read moreit's got some great stuff! It's kind of a hodge podge of stuff, with the main thrust being Asian-inspired home goods and gifts. They have some nice wooden boxes with Asian details, pretty tea tins, large decorative fans and paper lanterns. But they also have some random stuff, like a wide selection of picnic baskets replete with cups and plate! I think these are actually really cool and handy. Imagine if you got invited on a date and the guy or girl busted out one of these sets, a delicious picnic dinner and a bottle of wine. All I'm saying is that if that happened to me, that guy would probably be getting some later.
