Paperchase is just about my favourite place to get stationery. I know that sounds a little sad, but…read morethe quality is seriously impressive and the designs are always beautiful. From intricate floral patterns embossed on the covers of fat spiral bound journals to adorable anime-style monsters on PVC pencil cases, this is the mother of all stationery stores and deserves to be worshipped. It also sells bags, wrapping paper, lunchboxes and filing systems, which are (of course) beautiful to look at. However, I admit that I would choose a recycled paper pad from Sainsburys (99p) than the one at Paperchase (£2.50) purely for cost reasons, but if I were a little richer They also stock fantastic arts and crafts materials, for example some tiny rainbow pegs I bought (although still not sure what to use them for!) and crystal sticky-back hearts. This place is a wonderland of stationery, so if you feel like purchasing some high-quality wrapping paper, get going!

Most of them have a greater knowledge of their products than their customers, but do not expect much specialist knowledge from most of the sales staff, The 'techies' in the back room are VERY good and and will help you [if they have enough time] with almost any query.

I came up with the design ideas and sent them to Stamps Direct. I was thoroughly impressed by the service I received, within 24 hours of ordering the stamp was on my doorstep and the quality is second-to-none. Totally brilliant service, highly recommended.

I was intrigued by the ID protection stamp…read more(http://www.stampsdirect.co.uk/protect-id-rollerbricamouflage-roller-stampi-1103-p.asp) that Stamps Direct have on offer. I read an article on their blog and it got me thinking about how much I hate shredding (http://blog.stampsdirect.co.uk/rubbber-stamps/id-theft-protection-without-shredding/) . This seemed like the perfect solution. I ordered one and was impressed with the results. It makes life much easier. No more piling up papers to shred at a later date. One swipe of the roller stamp and the problem is gone. It's brilliant. Hopefully it'll keep going for a while, but when it's gone I'll certainly be going back to Stamps Direct for more!
