Great place to go for gifts. (Either for others or just to treat yourself! ) I always end up picking out some earrings and/or a couple magnets. I just love the nifty gifties here so much. Everything is just too fun. read more

It's pretty much packed store full of gift items as everyone else has said I will say that the gift items range from hysterically tacky to slightly tacky to lots of socks with sayings on them and items that are locally or made in Asheville, etc. You can find a lot of the stuff on Fred website or Kirkland or world market so the uniqueness is not overly outstanding I think the thing that would make me come back are the kitchen towels and a really good selection of interesting books Overall of fun experience if you're in the mood read more

Such a cute spot for gifts--it's really a one-stop shop! Find anything from books to hobbies to Charlotte-themed merch, and plenty of options for cards & gift bags to complete your presents. read more

Listed as a stationary store, this does have that but a whole lot more. Starting with tchotchkes and puzzles and games ... and moving on to tea and coffee supplies and books/magazines this place has a little bit of everything. We came in looking for a few thank you gifts and left with some wine and appetizer plates, some stationary stuff, earings, shower steamers, fudge, cat stationary ... all to say this is a great gift place. Helpful people, and loads of different gift ideas. Hard to describe but worth the visit. read more

Always love visiting whenever I'm in CLT. Relaxing shopping experience, helpful team, amazing selection of CLT and NC treats, especially love the kitchen gadgets and games section. My go to place for great gifts and seasonal goodies! read more

This place is so cute and always has new quirky gifts. It feels good to shop local and I could get lost in this store! So fun!

The selection of unique gifts is just amazing! I only visit CLT a few times a year but always make sure to stop here!

This is my absolute favorite gift shop and I always stop I'm whenever I'm in Charlotte. I don't even know how to describe it but if you need a gift for someone and don't know what to get, this place will inspire you! Or of course you could treat yourself too ;) so many unique and fun home decor items, books, kitchenware, art, etc and an AMAZING card and gifting section. I could spend so much time here, I love wandering around and I wish I could buy everything! read more

Paper Skyscraper - Entrance - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I've loved this place ever since I lived in charlotte. Luckily I am in town every 3 months or so and always stop by PS and stock up on cards, gifts- also great purses, accessories, pet stuff, fun home office things - and one of the best book and magazine selections in town. Service is fantastic, so helpful and friendly. Also a fun place to go and then eat and shop nearby w your Mom or girlfriends, it is close to a bunch of good restaurants read more

This is one of my favorite stores in Charlotte. You can find local products as well as fun and curious ones. Staff is friendly and professional. The store is easy to find, and the GPS will take you straight to it if you are not familiar with the area. There is plenty of free parking in front of the store and on the side. This is the type of store where you have a lot of fun shopping. read more

Very impressed by this store! I utilized the online store to purchase items. Easy to navigate the website. Really great, unique selection. The items were wrapped with incredible care! Lightening fast shipping. I would absolutely buy from this store again. Fantastic experience! read more

What a neat place! I had the pleasure of visiting this unique shop a while back and I was in love. I love the huge variety of products they have, from funny cards, toys, nostalgic games, notebooks, etc. It was honestly even better than I expected. I can't wait to come back. I do remember the staff there was very helpful and friendly, and that the shop was pretty busy. For a good reason too! Lovely options to buy, so much funny stuff there to enjoy and laugh about. Great place to buy gifts or something for yourself even! I got a Dali Llama ceramic mug with a llama on it! I use it often and always think about my visit! I remember, too, seeing many funny cards there that really made me chuckle. Little cards you could leave on people's windshields who parked badly!!! I thought that was unique and really hilarious. I will come back soon! read more

Paper Skyscraper - My ceramic mug I got from the place! - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Bottom Line: Yes, the hype is true, this is a wonderful gift store! Not only does Paper Skyscraper get five stars but so does my husband because he is the one who told me that we needed to check out this store. Paper Skyscraper is fairly large for a gift store and packed full of gifty goodness like cards, books, jewelry, lotion, calendars, mugs, housewares and such. I live close to some really great gift stores so while I did see some similar items to what I'd find back home I also came across some unique finds and some items specific to Charlotte. I could have spent a lot of time in here but it was a bit crowded when I visited so after honing in on a stress pickle (much more fun that a stress ball and equally therapeutic) and some whimsical, nautical themed dish towels I made a bee-line for the register. After reading various reviews that discussed a busy parking lot we decided to park several blocks down at the public parking lot and walk. It was a nice day so we were glad for the extra steps but come to find out there were plenty of open spots available in the lot on a Saturday afternoon. If I ever return to Charlotte Paper Skyscraper will surely be at the top of my list for places to visit! read more

Paper Skyscraper - A large gift and stationary store. Lots to peruse! - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Adorable. Quaint. Unique. All the things I love in gift store, so why don't I frequent more often? I have a bucket load of Yelp friends who shop here, too, so I am left hanging with no defense. Julie S writes, "The best place for gifts." Jesse L, quips proudly, "Every time I walk in here, I find something new and unique." "There were so many hilarious, unique cards available that I couldn't pick one!" remarks Jenny B. Thanks. Our CM for many years threw down the challenge and said, "Yelp's #1 local business to buy gifts in the entire country. Drops mic. Shuts laptop. Review over." Damn, Nikki is right. Just to hammer it home my Yelpie pal Saniqua P states, "I'm just going to say it....if you come here and can't find SOMETHING for that someone on your list then it's not them, it's you." Ouch. OK, it's me standing in the need of prayer. Need I say more? Drag your ass into this place. Ringing all the holiday bells on my "Give 'em a whirl meter." Support local. read more

Paper Skyscraper - All decorated for Christmas 2020 - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

A one stop location for gifts, stationery, and a bit of a everything. The shop carries items like cards, wrapping paper, gourmet NC treats, books, and more in one shop. They have a lot but it is small with very few spots. (Best to try to go when it's not a peak time or day.) There is a variety of price points here so it's easy to find something you're looking for. Maybe a couple of the items might be a little higher, but you're usually going to find unique items that set your gift apart. I will say that some of the aisles are a bit narrow and can be tricky to navigate if it's a busy period. Usually other customers are pretty accommodating about getting out of the way for you if you need to move around, but did want to note that for people who might not love the close quarters. Staff are polite whenever I've gone. They usually leave people alone to browse in the shop. read more

The store had everything (and more) that I was looking for. The staff were very pleasant and helpful!

Found so many wonderful ideas today at Paper Skyscraper!! Went for graduation cards and found incredible toys for Easter baskets or birthday gifts! Plenty of hilarious cards and paper notes like my Dwight note pad or Schitts Creek card! And goodies for my kid like squeeze ball, bouncy ball and a bath/pool toy octopus! Wonderful staff to help and amazing ideas for gifts with unique and humorous gifts!! A CLT treasure!!! read more

Paper Skyscraper - Cute gifts and cards from Paper Skyscraper! Awesome toys for kids too! - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This was a lovely stop for souveniors for our loved ones to bring back home! They had EVERYTHING you could imagine. They had clothes, kitchen utensils, kitchen towels, stationary, seasonings, candy, toys for kids, games, candles, local snacks, the list goes on and on. They have sentimental gifts, quirky gifts, gifts for pets, "dirty" gifts [wink wink], and gifts clean enough to give to your grandparents. The ladies at the front were super nice. They are a bit pricey. Hubby and I didn't go totally crazy, but we did spend close to $100. Cute. Great service. a bit expensive. read more

I recently moved to Charlotte from California so I wanted to send little packages of local goods to all my friends out west. This place had everything I needed and more!! So many local snacks, paper goods, tshirts, candles. This store exceeded my expectations. An added bonus- they have parking and very friendly staff! read more

Paper Skyscraper is one of the cutest and most fun gift shops in the city. They have a little bit of everything, literally. It's such dope one stop gift shop, if you are shopping for multiple people (or yourself). I always recommend this place to people who I know like out of the box gift ideas or quirky gift ideas, or even very sentimental ones. They have something for everyone and that's what I love about it. It's not your traditional shop either because they also carry a lot of local merchandise or Charlotte themed merch. Which is always great to see around the city! This is one of my favorite stores honestly. Can't go wrong here! read more

Need cards for multiple different occasions? They've got it. Need candles? Books? Gift ideas? Locally made finds? Oh, they've got it! This place is great for all your gift buying needs. You can easily spend an hour looking at all the different stuff that they have. I like that they have locally sourced/made products mixed in with all other stuff. Staff is always so nice and friendly. Be prepared that parking can be a little bit of a nightmare as it's right off the street. Be careful pulling out. read more

A lot of cute knick knacks. A great place to buy gifts. They have jewelry, cute cards, tea, household items and more. You can get Charlotte merchandise here too. It is pricey but super cute. They have free parking, which is nice. read more

I was looking for a local business to provide thank you gifts to the hospital staff caring for my grandmother. Not only was their website easy to use, but a nice employee was available by phone to answer questions. My order was ready the same day. The quality was high and the prices were fair. I am pleased. Thank you, Paper Skyscraper! read more

Love this store - great selection of fun, quality products - staff were incredibly helpful- great service!

I've been coming here for 20 plus years. The selections are always great ! You never know what you may find. If you're looking for that perfect gift, this is the place!! You won't be disappointed. read more

Paper Skyscraper is my go-to for cute presents. They have a great selection and variety of products. I especially love all the Charlotte-specific options they have as well. The staff are always friendly and helpful. They provide great recommendations. read more

Service, selection and great service!! And if you need a gift not sure what They would always have something perfect.

This place is outstanding for the unique gift for that special person. So many different types of gifts including original art & crafts from locals. They do a great job stocking items that are uniquely Charlotte. I went to several locations around town looking for something as simple as a Charlotte Skyline postcard only to be disappointed. Here I found several as well as some other great gift ideas. The challenge is going to be parking. It's right next door to Thai Taste so if you going during lunch, you'll be lucky to find a spot in their tiny parking lot. read more

This is a hidden gem! I love this store so much! My sister and her boyfriend were visiting us all the way from Scottsdale Arizona. They wanted to find some "Charlotte" items and this place came highly recommended by my friends. We got to check this store out and we were in here for about 2 hours! So many neat things! I found a book about Charlotte to buy as well as some crazy candy bars and some postcards. My sister and her boyfriend bought a handful of things too! They bought some oven gloves that were quite funny! They bought this little silicon thing that holds a pair of glasses. They bought some post cards as well as a table conversation game. I never got to take a picture of the stuff we got but I will once my husband opens up his gifts! The staff was super friendly. The place was very clean and well kept. They also had a dog lying around! At first my sister thought it was a rug but then it moved! Lol. I highly recommend this place to anyone who lives here or comes to visit. read more

Sadly, I can't recommend this little shop. What I wanted was a stationary store. What I found was a nick-nack store. You know the kind, with the "wine o'clock" glasses and books on millennial ennigrams? The kitchen towels with the sort of funny if they weren't so negative sayings that people buy but no one really wants? Like that. They do have a small selection of Cranes notecards, but nothing notable. Nothing local, and nothing like what I was looking for. read more

New to the area and saw this store across the street from my nail salon. I thought it might be a stationary store, but it's the gift store of my dreams! Literally has something for everyone. With every corner I turned I thought of a particular person or friend in my life and how I'd come here for any occasion that requires a gift. From books to scents to games to appliances to toys to jewelry and local goods/finds. Funny gifts, dirty jokes/mature audience gifts, and gifts for those who aren't into the aforementioned categories, haha. They also have disposable masks at the entry for customers! It's on a very walkable street and has parking outside. Can't wait to go back! read more

This is one of my favorite shops in Charlotte. I could get lost in here for hours. They have a very unique assortment of knick knacks. My favorite part is all of the unique to Charlotte things. There are books, art, maps, etc all done by local businesses. I love their kitchen section as well. It's really hard to describe what you can find here. Games, books, kitchen stuff, gift wrapping, local guides, art, socks, ornaments, the list goes on. It's a great place to find a gift for almost anyone. I would definitely recommend checking it out and spending some time browsing around. read more

After living in Charlotte for over 20 years, with 15 of those years in Dilworth, Paper Skyscraper is my go to spots for cards, gifts and some unique home items. Paper Skyscraper sells books, jewelry, cards, including some of the best Christmas card selection in Charlotte, toys, wrapping, home items and some unique products made by local vendors. Every visit I seem to find something new and love it. Although the shop may seem small/tightly packed, and may be a little crowded, especially during holiday seasons, take some time to enjoy it and you will not leave without making a purchase, I promise you that! read more

This is one of the best local gift stores in Charlotte! It is spacious and filled with hundreds of thoughtful gifts for everyone in your life (especially yourself)! There is plenty of parking out front of the store or on the street before the store, so don't fret! Inside is packed full of goodies, so be careful when walking around. The workers are super friendly and make you feel seen if you want to wander in peace and heard if you need help finding something specific! There are plenty of gifts for men as well! To the right side of the store in the far corner there are a bunch of Charlotte and North Carolina gifts that I personally love! I recently purchased a Charlotte dish towel and coffee cup that look amazing in my kitchen! PS there is a doodle dog that roams the store and she is soo friendly! read more

What a gem of a place - they literally have a gift for anyone and everyone on your list! Some of their stuff can get a bit pricey, but they have such a wide variety of things that I can always find something to fit my budget. Love going here any chance I can! read more

Love this store unique gifts. I could have browsed for 3 hrs. Will be back! Any help I needed was there for me without searching for someone!!!! read more

I'm not sure why I never popped into this store before, I've certainly seen it on Yelp often enough. So much more than just greeting cards and wrapping paper! The store is chock full of the sort of gifts you give to the person who "has everything" because for sure they don't have all of these things. Whiskey stones (like ice cubes but they don't melt) and an icicle insert to chill wine from the inside and "cheeky" fridge magnets and odd calendars and clocks and just too many unique things to list. It's just a really neat store and if you are looking for gifts, then this is the place you need to go. Prices are not cheap and they're not outrageous expensive. For most of the stuff I saw, it seemed to be priced about right. read more

My favorite store I in Charlotte for books, Bizarre finds and all the local goodies a girl could want. I popped in on a rainy Saturday to kill time before a massage and I roamed, read and touched every thing in the store and almost missed my appointment. Great place to get lost in time in and to find all the stuff you didn't know you needed. read more

Wonderfully quirky products. Lots of variety and very kind staff. Food, novelties, gifts, wrapping supplies and so much more!

Extremely cool store, loaded with tons of stuff you don't need. It's a tight squeeze so careful not to knock over anything, because you'll have to sell your house to pay for it. They're very expensive and I didn't get a friendly vibe from any of the employees. I purchased some postcards and a 5$ chocolate bar which was meh ok. I would recommend a visit to the store to see some of the cool things, but that's about it. read more
