I am for the paper. The range is kind of like stationery driven. More like Paperchase or Papersource. The draw was the sign on the door that said they had elephant poo paper. Now who wouldn't want that? Anyway I found some amazing thick paper to wrap a gift of artwork. It was bold print and perfect. It is a big store, I just wish they had more stuff.

It's a large, open, bright store with books, many gifts, calendars, and fun items, also nice bags. My favorite thing here is their large selection of wallets. They feature a very popular Dutch brand of wallets, SecurID, in so many colors and styles. They wrapped my gifts for me, which was really nice. My favorite time was when they actually repaired my wallet for me, instead of trying to sell me a new one!

This store is basically your one-stop office supply store. I've been here when I've needed things…read morethat the local newspaper stand doesn't carty. For example, 3-ring notebooks that are smaller than A4 size (to fit in a purse) but large enough to take decent notes in -- for Dutch lessons. I've recently needed to buy clear mailing labels for sending a bunch of cards out. They have a good selection of avery labels. Although this shop on Rozengracht didn't have the size I needed in clear labels (many in white) they called the store on Linbijstraat close by to see if they did. They did! So I just hopped over there. If you have time and can think about these things in advance, you might be better off ordering supplies online, where prices might be a bit cheaper. However, the service is good, the quality is good, and convenience of location is great. They also have a large selection of pens, paper, etc.

I am an expat and went in to ship 3 packages and 2 letters. I asked for help and explained that I…read morewasn't sure how everything work to which a staff member replied you need to package and figure it out yourself before coming to the register. The register is only to buy according to him. I went to another staffer who was initially helpful but then told me to slow down and that I needed to explain more carefully. Incredibly rude and honestly made me feel bad about myself. It's hard being an expat but even harder when a tall dutch guy with light brown short hair (flipped up in front) makes you feel stupid and small. DO NOT GO HERE.
