I know it's a little bit late buying diaries for 2010 now but that's exactly what I did on my visit to Paperchase yesterday, they had all their diaries of all sizes reduced to only £1! Now I just can't resist a bargain so I bought myself a pretty 2010 organiser that will come in handy for my new term at Uni and will keep me on the right track for my dissertation work. I also purchased another diary reduced to £1 from £10 and it has plenty of space for writing so I'm sure I'll be able to fill it no problem with inane ramblings and doodles. I also bought my mum a birthday card which is shaped like an no.5 Chanel perfume bottle and was very reasonably priced at £2.50, I also got a couple of graduation cards for my friends who will be joining the real world in a matter of weeks. This store is quite deceptive as it looks really small from the outside but it's absolutely massive and no matter what kind of stationary you're looking for it is more than certainly here. The staff are really friendly and I was easily here for a good 50 minutes getting lost in all the stationary but nobody seemed to bothered and I felt relaxed just taking my time to browse. read more

Paperchase is great for picking up cards, gift wrap and stationery when you perhaps want something a little different than the usual. The store feels quite stylish and the stock definitley has that sort of hip/trendy feel. It can be a little expensive, but you are paying for nicer designs and better quality. I bought a gorgeous Wedding Album in here as a gift as well as some beautiful photo frames. I also picked up some great Christmas decorations in their January sale at a very reasonable price. I always buy my notebook and pens for uni here, probably not the best way to spend my student loan but I do like the designs. Also when I ran an event I picked up some great art supplies here for posters and decorations, and received some student discount. I bought a laptop bag here in one of the quirky designs (I think it was around £12), and after a few weeks the strap broke. I returned it without the receipt and the staff were so helpful and apologetic. The bag was out of stock but they let me choose another one, no problems. I was chuffed at the good customer service here. I always find myself going in for a browse when I walk along George Street, definitely one of my favourite shops. read more

This is a chain shop done WELL. I love Paperchase, my wallet does not. But my wallet doesn't write Yelp reviews, so this little ditty remains a glowing, happy five star. I can't actually make it out of this store with less than three items and I have yet to meet anyone that can - a phenomenon so rare, it's bordering on scientific fact. Something in the air makes me think: why YES, I DO need owl wrapping paper for no good reason! If you're a fan of cute bento boxes, stationary, fancy paper, washy tape or are easily distracted by shiny things: welcome to the cult of Paperchase - it's delightful! The prices are a bit higher than your run of the mill office accessories but no different from any of the other specialty shops in town and the selection here is always impeccable. Just writing about it makes me want to go back tomorrow and get the office organizers that I begrudgingly passed on because I didn't have space in my shopping bags. It is and likely will continue to be, one of my Edinburgh happy places. read more

Stepping into Paperchase makes my heart beat that little bit faster. Something about the ultra bright colours and the sickly sweet designs makes me giddy; the sheer amount of adorable stationary; the kitsch factor. I WANT IT ALL. This Paperchase is no different. Although you'll find less of the current ranges here because the space is significantly smaller than their Glasgow store which is HUGE and also has an extensive range of crafty goods alongside the usual stationary delights. This is a bite-sized Paperchase in comparison to the Glasgow store I know and love. - Regardless, it's a sweet bite nonetheless. read more

Paperchase is like a drug den to stationary addicts. The colours, the smell of new notebooks, the pens -oh the pretty pens and mechanical pencils- it is a wonderland of organisation. It stocks everything from phone covers, to pens, to paper, to cards, to bags, to birthday candles, to umbrellas, to planners/budget books...the list goes on! Every time I enter a stationary shop I make a thousand resolutions but the gear I buy at Paperchase - with it's whimsical faces and cutesy animals, next to grown-up-looking leather finishes - is the only stuff that makes me keep them! Case in point, last Christmas I decided I was going to be grown up. I was going to keep a diary so I could I could organise my life. In order to be used this diary would have to be: - Small enough to fit in my handbag. - Big enough to cope with my scribbles and lists (so many lists!) - Nice enough that I wouldn't get sick of whatever floral design I would inevitably pick out. - Grown up enough that I would feel fancy using it (making it more tempting to keep using as I have the mentality of a five year old wanting to wear her mother's heels). -Fit a pen, because lawd knows I will always lose my pen. I headed to Paperchase because I knew that, with their large selection of everything, I would find something suitable. After about thirty minutes I did. I settled on a nice little camel covered number with a elastic strap, a ribbon to mark the page, enough room inside for a pen to fit and the week over two pages. It's getting to the end of April and I still use it. I have even managed to hold on to the owl covered pen I bought to match it. This is a testament to Paperchase. I've recently returned for a lovely envelope style notebook in electric blue with a laser cut pattern and a silver and floral pen which will be my new 'Life Notes' notebook. Don't let me down Paperchase! This resolution needs to last! read more

This is my go-to shop to buy presents for myself and for others....mostly myself. Everything in here is so dang CUTE! I have a pathological obsession with cute animals and stationary so this is pretty much my heaven. They have great cards, wrapping paper, journals, and other little bits and bobs you can find that make fun gifts. For example, I bought my mom a reusable to-go coffee cup here with a skull on it for Christmas and it was her favorite gift. It sounds weird, but I promise we are normal. Anyway, if you love notebooks, stationary, and things with googly eyes you will probably love Paperchase as much as I do. read more

Paperchase is a stationary shop that does what it says on the tin, it sell stationary. for most people this would be as expected and hardly something worth getting exciting about. but for me, stationary is something special. growing up i looked forward to the back to school stationary shop the most and got so excited about new pens and notebooks and yearly planners! now at work, having fun stationary makes my job just that little bit extra enjoyable while adding a personal flair to my desk. What makes me really excited about Paperchase is not just the fact that it is a shop where i can fulfill my stationary needs, but that their goods are cute and girly, fun and function, and there is a wide variety that changes every few months so i can constantly have something new. i love that i can buy pens with almost any colour of ink (must get an orange one!!) but that i can also go and buy an adorable filofax to give myself that professional edge, even though all my diary appointments are written in bright pink pen... the shop also has a great selection of cards, although they are mostly birthday or blank cards so if you are looking for something specific this might not be the best place to go. however, i have always found the card that i needed, including a new grandparent one for a former co-worker which is why i visited Paperchase on Friday. i absolutely love their Christmas cards as well, there is always so many choices and all the cards are bright and colourful with loads of glitter to make them extra sparkly for the holidays. towards the back of the shop there is a good selection of art supplies, picture frames, phone cases, laptop cases, and other technology accessories with a cute selection of novelty items. i especially like the adorable key covers that they generally have on sale. I can't say enough about how much i love Paperchase!! it is like the stationary shop of my dreams, i just wish i had the money to buy everything that they had on offer!! well now i know what i'll be buying if i ever win the lottery.... read more

I would be lying if I didn't admit I have a serious stationery obsession and therefore Paperchase is one of my favourite shops in the whole of Edinburgh. I adore notebooks and am forever buying new ones even when I really don't need them and Paperchase never lets me down a wonderful selection of beautiful notebooks. As well as satisfying my ever growing notebook collection, they also sell a wonderful arrangement of pens, cards, art supplies, phone covers, laptop cases, rucksacks, glasses cases, picture frames and much more! It is pretty pricy but I like to think that it is worth it for the beautiful items they sell! I just wish I could afford to buy everything in the shop! For anyone with the slightest interest in beautiful stationery, Paperchase is definitely a must! read more

So many pretty things live here. It's very difficult to come in and not pick up something extra to what you planned as its so cute. They have an excellent selection of cards both cute and funny and for every occasion. If you need a st Patrick's day card this is the place to go. This store also has a really good range of nice coloured paper and matching envelopes. I always imagine that I could make some beautiful thing to post to someone and never quite know what to do but if I bought the pretty paper I'd work it out. It's also a great shop for picking up cute little stationary gifts for people plus lunch boxes and water bottles. read more

Ooooh I love this shop!! I had a lovely time there yesterday and found so many gorgeous Christmas (and other) gifts. The stationery range is wonderful, particularly the different coloured sheets of paper (such good quality too) and the greetings cards are just lovely. A great selection of pens, craft items, stickers, box files, classy notebooks, pretty glossy gift bags, boxes and bows and so much more! I liked the 2013 calendars and diaries as well - lots to choose from. It's a very eye-catching and well laid out store and the staff are very pleasant and helpful too. I'll definitely be back there when next in the city! read more

See all

Paperchase- it just kind of lures you in and you come out with all this stationary you don't really need, but really wanted. You could re-gift them- but you know secretly that you won't. I thought my fascination with cute notebooks and funky pens had long gone along with a terrible fashion sense in my teenage school years. Obviously Papertiger just resurfaced my love for stuff like that- stuff that I think will motivate me that this year I will work better because my diary rocks and I have an awesome pen. This doesn't happen. I want to return to Papertiger but I am saving up for other stuff at the moment. I am glad it brought back my teenage love for stationary I just hope my teenage fashion sense is dead and buried and never to be seen again. Please. read more

Paperchase is great. The upmarket feel of the store means that you can shop for cards, stationary and art materials in a fresh, modern environment. Although some of the products are quite expensive, the design and quality balances the cost out, making this the perfect store for extra-special cards for your loved ones. read more

Hello swanky pants Paperchase! I remember when my now defunct local Paperchase (rip) was alive and kicking, and it looked like a glorified Stationary Box, but this one is the creme de la creme of pens and pencil goodness! I love the exterior, it is way too fancy for a stationers but lovely all the same. The inside is bright and spacious, perfectly opened up by the floor to ceiling windows. Paperchase do a great line in pretty notebooks and organisers, and I always get my diary from a Paperchase for Christmas. A bit of a posher stationary shopping experience! read more

There are few things in life I love more than stationary. It's probably in my top 5 favourite things in the whole wide world! Thus, Paperchase is my heaven. They have the most amazing selection of stationary, cards, wrapping paper and everything you could possibly want, really. They don't just have lots, the things they have are amazing! I bought a really cute stapler and punch set here with a really cute floral pattern. I bought one for my mum too - she loved it! The one downfall for Paperchase is the price - it can be really expensive. Trust me though, it's worth it! read more

One of those wonderful shops where I always spend far more than I meant to. beautiful photo albums, filofaxes, cute little toys and craft materials as well as tons of cards and giftwrap read more

It's a Paperchase, so you know what it is, and I don't need to wax lyrical about my fetish for ribbon-bound gilt-edged notebooks or the peculiar satisfaction of clicking a new mechanical pencil. What stands out here though is the sheer size of the place - just the greetings cards section is about the size of an average shop, but it continues to get even more exciting as you venture further back. They seem to have all the stationary supplies you could need and an even greater volume of stuff that you don't, which makes for a very fun browsing spot when you're waiting for a mate to hurry up and pay for what they needed. I somehow managed to resist buying anything for myself this time but I think my new fetish is sticky notes, which they now have in all these different cute little sizes and pretty patterns. A good place for an emergency present stop I think. I know I'll be back! read more

I love paperchase! It takes stationary beyond the practical and makes it fun, interesting and usually very pretty. Good quality stuff that also makes lovely gifts. Check is out. read more

I love all the items in this shop! Paperchase stocks the best stationary and makes it all fun. They have branched out beyond just stationary and stock ipod covers, cute plasters, lunch boxes, cards, mugs and so so much more. You really have to go in to see for yourself! I really can't go in here without buying something. They have the cutest ranges, but also the more traditional stuff as well, and you're sure to find something for everyone in here. Their prices are a little on the expensive side, but their items are great and really good quality too. I buy lots of my presents from here and everyone always loves the stuff read more

There's something so wrong, yet so right about the smell of fresh stationery. I never tired of it as a child and I still don't know. Paperchase is a wonderful shop selling all manner of classy statioery items and a great place to pick up a Christmas present or two. A joy to behold. read more
