I love the selection of quirky fridge magnets they sell here with text like "I cant be good all the time" and "Old enough to Know better.. too young to give a rats ass" These magnets are by Anne Taintor and I find them hilarious as extra gifts for friends for their birthdays. Another favourite is "Why do dishes when you can do daiquiris" they certainly bring a smile to my face. .

If you need a stationary in Fulham, Perry is the place to go.

I sometimes have a hard time what I actually need and not need. Always ask for student discount. I would not buy their expensive ink cartridges. However, there unique selling point is that you can send a fax! Who would have thought I would use fax in our generation of technology - but that time it was urgent and the only solution. You are also able to do photocopies: both - black & white and colour prints. The owner is very kind - if you need something specific, you could ask him to order it for you, it might take a couple of days but is less hassle. They are specialised in sketchbooks and lots of sketching paper - the worst thing, which can happen to a student running out of paper at the weekends. Note: Perry's is open on Saturdays only!

Either way, I just don't really use stationers much now. That being said, I still love their specialism and their smell. This one is a pretty good example of the breed, lots of stock, pretty decent collection of art and graphics materials plus they also sell a bit of office furniture (machines) and computer supplies. Comprehensive and reassuringly busy most of the time.

I am not earning the kind of money yet that can keep me in Smythson, but it is always something to aspire to! While the shop seems a little serious, and steeped in tradition, there is quite a whimsical and modern touch to a lot of the Smythson products. They sell little notebooks with phrases on the front like 'Therapy Notes', 'Seduction Notes', 'Me Me Me', and my favourite - 'Blondes/ Brunettes/ Red Heads'. This one is obviously for the man about town who wants to give his little black book and extra personalisation. The designers at Smythson are inventive, and clearly keep an eye out for the latest trends, fabrics and fashions. This is not just a shop to look for a present for Grandma or Grandpa; anyone of any age would appreciate something form here.

Smython's address books are and diaries are expensive, but renowned for being exceptionally made and sporting special lightweight, but high quality, paper. The name is practically synonymous with leather-bound goods of paramount excellence - when you pick one up you really can feel that these books are indeed in a superior league... the leather feels beautiful to the touch and the gilding edging is such a hallmark of luxurious attention to detail. Obviously, guys, don't go here to pick up a gift for your girlfriend for Christmas...(hate to even have to say it, but sometimes...) since everything here has more of a *professional* quality about it... but if you're hunting for something for your dad, or want to show your friend how much you admire their latest professional achievement - or merely want to convey to someone that they have your vote of confidence regarding their next business or individual venture - Smythson is definitely your shop.

That champions Scandinavian design. That has its first European outpost in London. Prints sells everything stationary-related from binders to notebooks to wrappings to bags. To really legitimize their Scandi-legacy, they also peddle designs from the popular Finnish designer Marimekko. However, what I go for are the cards. They are bright and punchy and irreverent and cheeky and hit all the right chords. I especially like the cards that bring extra bling to the equation courtesy of multi-coloured foil. Novel and unique. Friends and family back home love them so, well...I keep sending them. Slight annoyance: they sell envelopes separately.
