The place is really cute for kids with toys for sale and a studio for kids to do arts and crafts. I wish they had more toys for kids over 5 but we were still able to pick stuff out.

There aren't too many stores like this around, so it's really hard to make a comparison. Upon entering the store, I was at first overwhelmed by the selection. I didn't know where to look first. After examining the inventory more carefully, it became easier to discern what was where. The selection of findings & beads is deep. It's nice to know a place to shop for jewelry making supplies that is head over heels above the big box craft stores. The bead selection includes a large, varied collection of glass beads, Czech glass beads, pottery beads, pearls, semi-precious stones & a whole lot more. Classes are offered to learn many new techniques. They also sell jewelry, created from beads sold in the shop. I was very impressed. I'll be back!

Customer service was nice, they seemed pretty busy though for what seemed to be a smaller store, possibly short handed but still available for questions if you happen to find yourself needing help. This place seems very large and spacious, but didn't have everything I needed. Nonetheless, they had impressive discounts like any other Hobby Lobby with discounts up to 60% off for Christmas. Definitely worth the stopping in, glad I visited, will definitely be back, come check them out! This location is off of Palmetto and 441 in Boca Raton. Gotta love Hobby Lobby, best deals around hands down.

Well not here where you can shop an array of gifts and candy. Gifts include wall to wall and wall to ceiling of stuffed animals plus toys, puzzles, candles, bath products, Florida souvenirs, gag gifts, and stationary, The birthday cards were some of the nicest and most unique I have ever seen and some were personalized with ages and the year people were born. Candy is sold packaged and in bulk. This is the first store I have been in where you can shop for a gift and mail it there too. Prices weren't bad either. In addition to all of the gift items they also have all the mailing supplies you would need. Once you package it up, just take it to the back of the store and mail it off. It is really one stop shopping. Once you try this post office you won't want to ship from anywhere else.

I recently had to copy sone documents to then be mailed and called them to ask if they can do copies. Without a hesitation, yes was the response. So rather than going to a major corporations store I went to PS, who copied 15 documents, and nailed it via USPS. Here's the kicker. The staff are all so nice and helpful. There may not be many Mom/Pop stores left, , yet these folks are the best. It's a cute store, loaded to the ceiling with" stuff", and the price is always right.

When i questioned Esperanza (the employee) she stated and I quote " well I didn't have anymore pennies". Wait ....what....! Well what if I said i dont have the 2 cents from the charge of $19.02 ? Would you still give me my purchase? Eye roll from her and she opened the register and found 2 cents! Amazing. This is not the first time this has happen to me‍

In 1983 she opened the first Paper Source in Chicago. In 2021 the Paper Source was sold to Barnes and Noble. Today there are over 120 Paper Source stores across the United States selling wrapping paper, home goods, gifts, party supplies, paper crafts, craft supplies, toys, announcements, planners, calendars, personalized stationary, pens, totes, greeting cards, books, and more. Fun fact, Megan, the Duchess of Sussex worked as a calligraphy instructor at the Beverly Hills Paper Source from 2004 to 2005. The Paper Source is located in Delray Place on the corner of Linton Blvd. and Federal Highway. This was my first visit and I was impressed with the inventory and how it was displayed by like items in the bright and cheery store. If you wanted to find a hostess gift for your foodie friend, it was very easy to find the right display that had cookbooks, dishes, and totes. I especially loved their Halloween collection with decorations, candles, toys, and stationary. Prices seemed on the more expensive side, a tea light for example was $16 but they have two tiers of Membership, one that is free and one for $39.99 that can give you an additional discount along with other benefits. They also have sales throughout the store like a buy one, get one half off on paper craft kits. By visiting the Paper Source website I learned that you can do $10 virtual classes with them, supplies not included. I feel like I have just scratched the surface of all that the Paper Source has to offer. The craft kids were some of my favorite items. I love anything that gets the kids off the electronics and using their hands and minds. Now that I have discovered Paper Source I will be back for that unique greeting card and one of a kind gift.
