They had a selection what you would expect for a shop in that area. I went for a masquerade party mask. I was not impressed with the options...

Date of visit: January 10, 2026…read more Never have I ever been inside a Paper Source store until this visit! I was concerned that it was all over-priced cards and wrapping paper and while yes, there was plenty of that, there were also a number of surprising other items and I spent far more time in the store than I expected to. Surprising bonus: You can earn and redeem Barnes & Noble rewards here. I came looking for a couple rubber stamps and an ink pad that was part of a gift and was mildly successful in that task, though the friendly staff did explain that stamps were not really popular right now and I nodded in that knowing way of how things can be so cyclical. I'm sure six months from now you won't be able to swing a dead cat without hitting a rubber stamp display and at that time, I won't need any. I also perused the clearance cards and found some good deals and was interested in some of the items near the register but none of them had any prices on them. Great that they are 50% off, but if I don't know what they are half off of, I'm not likely to buy them. Will never understand why stores have things out without prices, how many lost sales must that drive? All in all, a decent store that I will return to when I am in need of some cards--especially if they still have that clearance section!

It's become a yearly tradition to get our costumes at Halloween Express and they never disappoint! If you can imagine it, chances are they've got it! Don't wait until the last minute if you want a specific costume or size. It's a temporary store for cryin' out loud!!! You can use the fitting rooms (yes they're Port-a-John's. No they're not old/dirty Port-a-John's) to try it before you buy it. And no returns. Again it's a temporary, seasonal store. Have some fun and make the Halloween Express a tradition for your family!

I purchased the full package that included cups, straws, the machine, and 4 drink flavors. They also include a handy metal tray with drip tube and an ice scoop. Didn't use half the drink flavors (they are huge) and unfortunately the ice scoop did not make it all day. I donated the unused flavors and was told the broken scoop was a wash. Would definitely use them again!

I had NO problems working with Brookfield Party Rentals! The ordering, delivery, and setup went…read moregreat! I have family members that had bad experiences with another local party tent company, so I chose them based on the reviews I have read from different sources on the web. I liked the online ordering system, a lot. The young men that came to set-up did a awesome job and were courteous. The tent was in great shape, and the tables were newer along with the chairs. Nothing but a good experience for us. I saw some Yelp reviews about communication with the company - I only contacted them once asking for a install time, and was replied to that they didnt know until 24 hrs before the install date. She was not rude nor did she yell at me for contacting her. Again, would use for all our party needs!

Extremely rude, unprofessional and underhanded. Do not do business with these people…read more A family member asked me to pick up an arch for a wedding and when I arrived to pick it up I was told that I needed to sign the rental agreement for the arch. I explained that I was just the driver and not the actual responsible party for the rental item. They had already paid and had not informed me that I would be signing a lease for wedding arch I was picking up. The sales staff was very rude to me and quite frankly in my opinion they do not have an ethical system of renting out thier items. They bully unsuspecting delivery drivers into signing leases for thier equipment. Here is my story. I was the only one in the family with a truck so naturally I agreed to come pick up the arch for my sister in laws wedding when asked. When I arrived they asked me to sign a lease for the equipment I was picking up. I was not aware I would be the person legally responsible for this several thousand dollar arch. It struck me as very unprofessional and bizarre that they didn't have the party who ordered this item and paid for it sign a lease agreement beforehand and nit the unsuspecting delivery person. If anything the delivery should sign off acknowledging that they have recieved said rental items. Instead the rude and aggressive lady and gentleman at Brookfield Party Rental bullied me into signing. I tried to work something out with them regarding getting the signature from my family member and coming back they very rudely and aggressively told me no that it needs to be the person picking up the item and then told me they were canceling the order when I said I would return back later with thier signature. Of coarse I signed the multiple page fine print leagal document because I didn't want my sister in laws wedding to be ruined. Of which I didn't even have time to read due to thier threats of canceling my sister in laws rental item and unloading it from my truck. They were very rude and have terrible communication and customer service skills. They also are unethical with thier expectation and aproach to getting thier lease documents signed under duress. I highly recommend taking your business elsewhere. If you do rent from them don't ask someone to go pick up a rental item for you without planning for thier backwards system.

Lots of unique toys, clothes and other stuff for the kids. Not your run of the mill toy store or…read moreclothing store. Think more of the one of a kind finds instead of where to go for the coveted toy of the season. Prices are higher than the mass produced department stores, but you won't find most of these items elsewhere. Many handmade and customized accessories and clothes. Fun colors, designs and textures. It's small, cozy and welcoming. Friendly and helpful staff without being pushy. They have toys and clothes for all ages, both boys and girls. Due to the size of the store, they may not have the exact size of the item you like available but ask and they will try to get it for you. If you are looking for unique gifts for the little monsters in your life, this is your place!
