What this place does look like it is good for is for your inner party planner to come out and do something that's like above and beyond amazing! The type of the decorations that grace these doors are giving very Gallantines Day vibes with a pinch of Saturday morning brunch. I'm talking cocktail napkins with cheeky sayings and quirky board games, and lots of really beautiful high quality cards. Also, in the back one of their employees was very much engaged in a wedding consultation for a couple, and it was clear that they know all of the event planners in town. This place is definitely a great resource if you're willing to spend a little bit more time and energy on your creative party planning needs. I unfortunately walked out empty-handed cuz I was definitely looking for more of a down to earth Black Girl Magic vibe and well, this ain't it. That said, I will probably be back to plan my daughter's next birthday celebration.

Moving to Cameron/Village Square the week after 4th of July 2021…read more More of a party supply store than a stationary shop. Yes, they will print and create invitations for you. The point is if you are visiting here to add to your stationary, wrong place. Just not a lot of stickers or pens or card stock that you may want. Lots of gift ideas. Placemats. Napkins. Some decorations. Ribbon. Bought a wooden baby toy for my 1 year old nephew. Friendly enough. Visit their new location. See if they picked up more space for more variety.

I saw Olivia Muenter speak about her new book Little One, and the seating and organization of the whole event was handled flawlessly. I thought it was very kind of the event to offer free tickets in addition to tickets that came with a copy of the book, as I had preordered from another store. I appreciated the consideration, and it made me want to stock up on other books from them. I didn't have any issues with parking at all- I got a spot in the large lot right out front. I was also able to choose from a variety of options for quick dinner stops before my event. All in all, a great addition to North Hills!

Walked in and we were greeted by Annie who was very welcoming and enthusiastic but not over the top enthusiastic, the very friendly and loves what she is doing type She invited us in and showed us around to see the entire layouts of the place. This place specializes in unique stationary and curated gifts for different occasions. It's not just a stationary store but they carry different gifts such as lotions, unique soaps, fragrances, books, charcuterie/bread boards, hand bags and much, much more. They even offer classes for card making and do a lot of their own printing in-house with some very cool antique but fully functioning equipment.

Personally, I have a "pen and paper problem" (LOL) so I could not resist buying a couple of high-quality pens while there.

I liked that there was a source of fresh air in the store. The lady working was very friendly and helpful. She added me to the list to get deals and coupons emailed. The store is bigger than I expected and offered more products than I could have imagined. It was easy to navigate as the displays were far enough apart. This is definitely the place to find those unique gifts for those that are hard to shop for. Besides the gifts, you can get individual sheets of wrapping paper and they will wrap for you too. They have individual and boxed cards; calendars; walls of envelopes in so many colors; stationery; stickers; etc. I'm sure I missed somethings. The prices are on the higher side but quality products aren't cheap. I will be back again.

We were trying to find a gift shop to help commemorate our trip to Raleigh. It turned out to be a…read moredifficult feat. I found this one last second with about a half an hour before closing 11 minutes away from us. So we sped off get there in time. When we got there and walked through the little pink door, it was the cutest little shop. So my friend is visiting from Scotland and we wanted to get some kind of necklace or piece of jewelry that matched. They have a great selection. We opted for some lava rock bracelets that help with communication, truth, and strength. I grabbed a little shot glass that said North Carolina on it because I have to have a trinket from every trip I make. When we were checking out, she said that somebody wanted to donate a basket to somebody that they had bought and wasn't gonna pick up so we ended up getting a free basket from Krystal! That was the sweetest thing. We were like two little school girls opening it up and dividing all of the little snacks inside. So thank you for making the end of our trip wonderful!!

Amazing service and products!…read more Our company always gets gift baskets for our customers for Christmas. We've used a popular online company for years, but this year, they messed up our order and we had to scramble to find a plan B! After doing some research we found Gingham & Posh. We loved how we could design the gift boxes with the colors of our company logo. The staff was great to work with and finished our boxes in a great time frame, even with the Christmas rush! We ended up going with the NC boxes. We've received many compliments from our customers of how much they loved their gifts. We loved how we were supporting a local business with Gingham & Posh, as well as supporting the businesses represented within the boxes. We're so glad our Plan A didn't work out this year. From now on, Gingham & Posh will be our go to for gift baskets!

My mom and I went to The Write Image to choose and order wedding invitations because we wanted to…read moresupport the local business and wanted an experienced second opinion. The selection process was the best part - our sales associate was very knowledgeable and honest. I looked forward to coming into the store to talk to her! She made it easy and ordered any samples we wanted to see so that we could make the best/informed decision. Unfortunately, she left the store in the midst of our process to graduate from college and move on! Good for her, but we missed her! We ordered our invitations with the help of a different associate and the process seemed to go smoothly. The proof from the vendor came in on time, but the directions card was incorrect (not even the right motif). So I emailed the associate and asked if it would match the rest of the cards. I guess she missed that in the email because the directions cards came in wrong. So we had to wait another week for the cards to come in and another week to have The Write Image print our map on the back. Another issue that upset us was that we were charged $50 for color ink on the return address on the outer envelope, when we were never informed of this option (was not in the original estimate). If we were offered black, we would have said yes to that to save a couple bucks - invitations are expensive! I give The Write Image 2 stars because when I go to a specialty shop, I expect to get expert guidance, but a few things slipped through the cracks. It is too bad our initial sales associate was not able to help us all the way through or else I think we would have had a better experience!

Write Image really struck me as a place to go for wedding invitations or announcements or gifts for similar events. If you're a calligrapher, some of the paper here would be ideal, albeit pricey. The Write Stuff did have some really beautiful picture frames that would be a good gift for a wedding or graduation. The small calculator with an attached pen in a case that, at first glance, looked like it carried a pair of fold-up reading glasses, might get me back in the store. Otherwise, nice store that it is, it's not my type of place.
