This store is a little hidden gem in the corner of the San Gabriel valley. I needed invitations to an upcoming summer event, and something a little bit snazier and with a personal touch than what you buy at the greeting card stores, but not as ridiculously expensive. (My parents were getting remarried for their anniversary). Thanks to the Yelp reviews I drove to this small store, and was surprised by the quality and atmosphere of Periwinkle. * This place was the best of all worlds for me *: - A truly new shopping discovery, as I do not buy a lot of paper products - Hints of quality vintage material, which I am appreciating as I get older - That sense that I am getting a great deal on stuff that would normally be a LOT more expensive elsewhere. (let me translate that into shopping-speak: Prices are SALE PRICES elsewhere!!!!) - Great personal service by the staff, who were eager to help me make style and color decisions without pushing or up-selling anything my way - Bringing back that childhood joy of watching my own product come together before my eyes, done by my own hands. Like crafts shop, but at an adult, professional level - And did I mention the staff was helpful? I felt more like I was at a friend's house working on a project than at some store with a body minding the counter waiting for the clock to hit quitting time. I kid you not that I felt giddy in the store, and wanted to stay long after closing time to come up with different and new ideas of things to create and add to my parents wedding (and my own home.) When I got my final bill for my sale, I could not believe how much I had saved. It is a bit of a drive, but well worth it. Needless to say my family has been surprised by the quality of the invites, and I am very pleased with my experience. I am looking for any excuse just to go back there and work on something again. read more

Best wrapping ever !! The owner is so sweet and helps in every way possible I recommend this place over and over again

I've been patronizing this business for a few years now. Lisa, the owner, is the absolute BEST!! She's a true master of her craft and a really nice person! I'm always in need of gift wrapping services and this is my go to spot. Her store is super cute too - tons of unique affordable trinkets and she even hosts fun weekend events. Check them out next time you're in Glendora! read more

If you ever need a gift wrapped, come here! It's one of those shops that makes you feel happy as soon as you walk through the front door. They have the cutest gifts for any occasion. I highly recommend. read more

Come here for all the crafting ideas! They are so helpful and their store is filled with just the cutest gifts you can imagine.

Such a wonderful store! They have very cute gifts for all occasions. Some great educational toys for kiddos and they do an AMAZING job at wrapping gifts. From gift wrap, with beautiful bows to baskets, for every event you need, they always do an exceptional job. They also offer help in choosing what is needed, if you want to do it yourself.

Periwinkle - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Glendora, California

Quaint store and good if you're looking for a category of unique beyond Target. The staff is helpful and prices moderate (I always wonder how these little stand alone businesses stay in business these days! must be the Yelp reviews ;D). I purchased a couple of sets of Christmas cards in the 11th hour. In fact, it was so late in the holiday game, they'll be going out for Christmas 2011. I hope I still have the same set of friends. read more

Periwinkle really is a one of a kind shop in Glendora. Not only do they have a super cute selection of gifts, there is a huge assortment of greeting cards, custom gift wrapping services and, Lisa, the shop owner, can help customers with custom invitations. It really is a joy going into the store because it is so whimsical and inviting. I have been patronizing this store for many years and it's usually my first choice when shopping for my mother, grandmother, and wedding showers. The gifts here are very unique that you may not be able to find anywhere else. Not to mention, it's an independent shop that is doing very well considering the economy. I highly recommend stopping by because everyone needs a dose of cuteness. read more

My favorite store on Glendora Ave. Awesome, Unique Gift wrapping service and cards. They have the BEST candles....... I shop here weekly just for the candles. I usually find some other little treasure while I am there. They are always changing their inventory which is nice! They find the most unique items from all over the world! LOVE IT read more

Periwinkle is a cute shop in a string of cute shops on Glendora Avenue. They have a FANTASTIC selection of wrapping paper. Definitely perfect for special packages to just give it a nice touch. They'll even wrap it for you, I believe for a small fee. They have a selection of decorative items, and I have found some great & unique gifts here. A friend who loves Paris once recorded a letter opener and magnifying glass with the Eiffel Tower. The prices can be a little higher, but it's a small local business. The workers are always very friendly and helpful. Sometimes when I just walk around downtown with friends they're friendly enough when we just walk around the store window shopping. read more

This one of my favorite places. I love to gift wrap and I love rare gift ideas, they have both. I have received many compliments on the paper and ribbon that I have gotten from there. I love that it's 2 blocks from home in the village, very convenient. I love their extended holiday hours. I love the sweet, kind and helpful worker there, she is an angel. I do not know her name but I will say she's blond and beautiful. So many things to love about this place except for one. The owner. I have been shopping here for years now and I have never walked out feeling like my patronage mattered any. I am sure to some her demeanor can be perceived as timid or introverted, but having a store and failing to at least greet customers is rude. Failing to greet repeat customers is even ruder. Now when I walk in I greet and walk straight to the back for my paper, ribbon and card and don't even bother to hold my breath for a greeting. I have noticed that if she is friends with a person, she does come alive and manages to speak more than 2 words. I will go as far as to mention a solicitor that came in trying to sell her something, he was relentless and she stumbled to find the words to make him understand she wasn't interested. I finally stepped in. I assertively told him he was making her customer uncomfortable, leave his card in case she every reconsidered but to leave. He did and in a curt way she mumbled "thank you" to me. I was certain that would be a turning point for us, sadly I was wrong. This happen a couple of years ago and she is no kinder at all. I will just accept the victory that is the beautiful blond angel there. She is so warm and friendly. I simply adore her. If you want to impress with your gift wrap, find unique gifts, find different children items the come to Periwinkle. Just do not expect anything much from the owner. I normally do not like to write negative reviews, but I was there today and caught the bad vibe again from her and I feel the need to inform others since it is rather needless. read more

Seriously.... this place could not get any better! For one, the staff is SUPER friendly. I have never been in there where someone, if not all of them, has greeted me and asked me how I am doing. The store is filled with so much good stuff, including everything for gift giving and gift wrapping! The one thing I see them for all the time is the gift wrapping they will do for you. If you purchase an item in the store, the house wrap is complementary. If you bring in your own, they will wrap it at a great price! I always bring in my gift baskets and they put them together so perfectly. I love Periwinkle! read more

Periwinkle - This picture doesn't even do this basket justice. Perfection! - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Glendora, California

See all

Above & Beyond Service for our wedding invitations. Came here to make our own wedding invitations. They walked us through the entire process in detail; everything, paper types, printing tips, mailing tips, assembly tips, etc. They helped us so much in getting our invitations made that I doubt many places offers customer service like Periwinkle. Anytime we had a question they would help us via phone. I highly recommend getting your custom invitations here whether you assemble them yourself, or have them take care of everything. read more

Came here to get my gifts wrapped and she did a amazing job ! Prices were reasonable and selection of wrapping was enough as well

this adorable little store is full of trinkets, stationery, wrapping paper and gifts. you've got to hunt for it though, b/c it's REALLY set back from the street. if you pull into the lot that's next door to the village vault restaurant, you'll see it on the right hand side as you pull in, behind the restaurant. they've just expanded and have all kinds of new papers and things to decorate it with. not so much scrapbooking, but invites, notes and stationery type things. and they do a beautiful job wrapping anything you want! read more

I came in here today asking a few questions about a project that I found on Pinterest and the staff was very helpful. I got all the materials I needed and some were on sale too! I looked around at the assortment of scrapbooking and stationary supplies and made a mental note that I will be back again! read more

This is such a fantastic local treasure. If you have kids, then you undoubtedly know about Melissa and Doug products. Periwinkle has so many interesting, hard to find and fun M/D toys and plushes. The prices are VERY reasonable and the service that you receive is beyond First Class. The owner of the establishment is such a kind, caring and sweet person. She goes out of her way to make everyone who comes in feel special and she pays attention to the smallest details. I recommend this shop to anyone that I know that has kiddos as the only place to go for quality toys and unique finds. read more

This place is great! You can get customized invitations made for any occasion and they'll walk you through the whole process, making you examples the whole time to ensure you like what you are getting. They also have a wide variety of stationary to choose from in case you're not looking for something custom. They also have a ton of trinkets for all occasions and a wide variety of unique and great wrapping papers which they'll wrap your packages in for a very reasonable price. Definitely worth stopping in to see what they have so when you're looking for something that you won't find at Target you know where to go! read more

I just picked up my custom wedding invitations from Periwinkle today and they are perfect! Lisa is wonderful to work with and has the patience of an angel! It took us 4 hours to design and choose what I wanted. I don't think any other place would spend that long with a customer! It took them 1-2 weeks to print/glue/address everything and when I picked it all up today, everything was tied up perfectly in boxes and ribbons- it was like a wonderful present to open up! I HIGHLY recommend Lisa and Periwinkle for custom invitations/paper goods. I only have wonderful things to say! read more

I LOVE this store! We had our wedding invitations designed and handmade here. They are very attentive and creative. They also have an eclectic collection of stationary, wrapping paper, knick knacks, and decorative pieces for sale. I can spend hours in this store. read more

Amazing yearly sale. Stocked up on Melissa & Doug items! They have everyrhing from blocks to puzzles to imaginary play sets.

I created my own personal wedding invitations here. I saved myself a couple hundred dollars and it was so easy wish I would have found this place sooner. I was able to catch a glimpse of their wrapping skills and it is just perfection. Customer service is also great! Very cute place, it's definitely worth a visit. read more

Just walked in and walked out. Only one other customer. Husband and I were totally ignored. Not even a simple hi. They had some cute stuff but too bad No one bothered to help us. read more

I went into Periwinkle looking for some flat kraft brown bags and while they didn't have any, Hailee and Dakota were super helpful and searched online and called a place trying to help me find some close by. With no luck I ended up buying some kraft paper here. I'd highly recommend this place. Those two girls are awesome. Killer customer service! read more

Lisa is very very helpful! I am actually on the phone with her right now and her Customer Service is absolutely phenomenal. I have been running into a lot of problems with a project I'm working on. She gave me so many different solutions that will help me get the job done. I haven't seen the store, but if its as quality as Lisa, then it must be a great place/ read more

This place is so perfect for treasures and great customer service! They will also wrap any gift for a great price. So darling in there I love making a stop inside when I visit downtown Glendora. read more

Periwinkle is definitely a hidden gem in Glendora! They are so wonderful at what they do from custom invitations, stationary, party ideas, gift wrap, and gifts. Lisa is the most patient and knowledgable person when it comes to invitations and stationary. I ordered my wedding invites, bridal shower invites, rehearsal dinner invites, and business stationary from Periwinkle and loved every minute of the process. I recommend them to every person that needs stationary of ANY kind! The do samples right on the spot if you make an appointment and they will work with you until it is just right. Another positive to Periwinkle is that they are able to a lot of sampling via email and send over detailed messages for busy people like myself. I love email and they are accomodating to this request. I highly recommend them! read more

I love this store! they have a better location now too! (not far from its old one) Its next to the pet shop. I had a vase with roses I wanted to have wrapped with ribbons, The girl working there did such a awesome job! I often go in there to see what new seasonal things they have and for candles. So many neat unique items you just don't see anywhere else. Its a really cute unique mystical store! read more

My mom and I love taking special gifts here to be wrapped (ex. baby shower or wedding). They do such a great job. Their store is absolutely adorable. read more

Love going here for last minute cards and gift wrap. They also do a fantastic job of wrapping gifts and putting together baskets for a small fee. They are my new "go to" for wrapping special occasion gifts. read more

Owner does not appreciate long time customers patronage and takes for granted the business that her and her mom built on from those same customers. Owner can have a bad attitude sometimes. I would stay away quality is not as good as it used to be ....better stores around nearby. In fact the whole place seems in decline. read more

They do have some really cute things and their invitations are lovely but you have to not care how rude they are. The last three times I have gone into this downtown Glendora store they have not greeted me. Oh...and I have been the only customer or one of 2 or 3 customers (hardly a rush). There's nothing their that is worth putting up with rude owners and employees. Take your money online to etsy.com where people are appreciative of your business. read more

Amazing service! I cannot say enough good things about them. You must go here for invitations. Bottom line.

Lisa was sooooo helpful to Dani and I during our wedding planning. Would recommend this company to anyone!

I've purchased from this store twice, both times the employees were very friendly and helpful. My second visit, however, the employee was having trouble with her square card reader as it would not read my card until the third time she swiped it and square tried to charge me 3 times. I came in to sort everything out and when we thought everything was fine square still continued to charge me. Today though the same employee (who's name I don't remember, sorry!) refunded the rest of my money for the double charge. I felt like I was being a difficult customer, but she was very kind and patient and apologized for all the trouble. I will be back because I love all the little candles and soaps they sell. It's a little pricey, but there are so many adorable little treasures it's the perfect place to go find a lovely gift for anyone. Just try and pay with cash, so square doesn't double or triple charge your card like mine! Edit: the employee was Lisa, the shop owner I believe. She is absolutely lovely! read more

I've been here twice and both times I was ignored by everybody working there - no acknowledgments at all. 1 star because my sister likes it.
