It's a Ryman. Nothing generally to crow about. Rather expensive, but has what you need when you need some stationery. The staff here are very helpful, however, and kept me from wasting time elsewhere with some copy-related needs. Yay! read more

Scribbler is a fantastic little shop that sells a vast selection of greeting cards, stationery as…read morewell as a selection of wrapping paper and gifts. 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. .
Funny little shop where you can get all of your cards and some stationary. Cute.read more
Unikob The Stationer

I admit that when I'm in tramp casual attire I do look a bit like a raging homicidal maniac or, at…read morethe very least, a pickpocket with social anxiety issues. However, I do not appreciate getting stereotyped immediately when I enter a store as a perfectly lawful possible patron. When I walked into Unikob I got sharp glares and stares that would have outdone the slicing capabilities of any of the shredders the store had in stock. Before I took two steps toward the Post-it section I was stopped and asked 'Can I help you?' by both the store manager and the cashier. Believe me, this was not a customer service induced question; they obviously thought I was bad news. I told them that I was looking for Post-its and when they heard my American accent their faces were visibly relieved. When I was finally taken off of the Stationary Stealers Wanted Roster I got a chance to peruse the store. They have everything you need for your office or for your studies at reasonably cheap prices. I paid £1.30 for a packet of Post-its and I'm quite happy with my purchase. They were quite happy with my purchase too and as I exited the store they were all smiles. So if you're not up for travelling to the nearest Ryman's and you live in the area, this is a good place to go for your clerical needs...unless you're wearing a hoodie.
Postmark -Balham

There were two sales assistants behind the counter, one with a mask and one without - both at the…read morerear of the small shop. Quite a few people were closely packed around the counter. Addressing the sales assistant without a mask, I explained that I'm a pensioner and that I'm nervous about being around people in small spaces, particularly if they're not wearing a mask. He told me he had an exemption. I was just about to say something along the lines of, "Oh, fair enough, but I'm still nervous about being in a small space, particularly at my age," but before I had the chance to say anything, he asked me if I could read, and pointed to his badge. Then he told me it was none of his business whether he wore a mask or not, and that I didn't have to come into the shop if I didn't want to. He did go on with the rant, but those were the two main points he was making. I think it's such a pity that as a customer-facing member of staff he didn't take a moment to empathise with my concerns, that after all are based on genuine reasons to feel threatened by Covid 19, particularly given it's growing. I wasn't being rude or doing anything wrong in asking about the mask, and if he'd just left the matter after he'd pointed out he had an exemption, all would have been fine. But he chose to go on and hammer his points home, and meanwhile I couldn't go anywhere as the other sales assistant was in the process of packing up my goods and getting me the change. The whole episode was needlessly embarrassing, unpleasant and left a nasty taste in my mouth. I hope he will be more empathetic with the next anxious old lady.
Have you ever wanted to find that card that's too clever or funny for Clintons but didn't know…read morewhere to find it? Postmark is that place! It was recommended to me by a friend when I wanted a valentines card that didn't come with the usual sickeningly sweet gushing prose and declarations of love that would make Romeo drop his codpiece. Postmark is a teeny-tiny shop that sells all the usual card/wrapping stuff you might want. It has a range of obscure, odd and outright different stuff including the greatest cards in the world! I can't say what they are because there will be a stampede and I know how limited these bad boys are. Imagine a handmade card by someone with a funky sense of humour and the design talent of a 5 year old with a pot of glue and some button eyes....mad but brilliant! The piece de resistance - Postmark was the first place to sell I love Balham mugs: 5 stars for that alone!

Maybe it is the overcrowded way in which the shop has been put together, or the incongruent mix of styles, but something about it is rather overwhelming and off-putting. Wish does however, have some really nice and often unusual and ethnic pieces (alongside a fair bit of tack). I do not believe that Wish should be overlooked, but neither is it the nicest or most exciting shop to be in.

Usually,…read moreI love places like this, shops that sell little bits of randomness (picture frames, prints of Marilyn Monroe, diaries, wallets, clocks, candles, etc.), but for some reason it just felt a bit too manic in here. It felt like all of the items were just strewn around; complete entropy. I was unimpressed by the store's miscellaneous knick knacks, but I was shocked when I ran into their jewellery section. They have gorgeous pieces of silver earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings. Moonstone, garnet, onyx - if you're into silver jewellery you will have loads to choose from here. So Wish, yes, jewellery extraordinaire with an abundance of knick knacks and pretty good cups of coffee.

#racistservice I…read morejust had a terrible experience at Ryman Sutton with hostile, discriminatory, and racist service. The elderly woman working there was very unfriendly and unhelpful. When I went to print some documents, unfortunately, my phone ran out of battery. I asked the elderly woman if I could use my tablet and connect to the Wi-Fi to send the documents for printing, and she said I could, but with a very unpleasant attitude. Naturally, I needed a password to access the Wi-Fi, but when I asked her, she kept insisting that Ryman's Wi-Fi doesn't have a password and was very unwilling to provide it, all with a very rude demeanor. Additionally, there were a few other customers in the store who were treated well. Is it because I'm Asian that I wasn't treated the same? I will definitely never return to this racist and hostile store.
Basically this was like the Holy Grail for me. I loved the Paperchase items at Borders Books. When…read morethey closed, my fix for Paperchase was nullified and my dreams of kitschy fun items dashed. I really didn't have any set souvenirs in mind on our trip to the UK (well except a Saltire - never found the size I wanted), but when I saw my first Paperchase in Edinburgh, Scotland I knew my budget would likely go there. I waited until we got to London and though not a shopper, I was gladly partaking of the shopping in Covent Garden. An awesome employee saw my minor joyful spazz out. I explained that we can no longer get Paperchase items at home and I have abstained from the website due to $$$ shipping rates from the UK. He clued me in and now I consider him my "dealer" because evidently Paperchase launched a US website with pretty decent shipping rates of which he was kind enough to inform me. Wahey! I guess I didn't need to go on that bender and rearrange my suitcase a billion times to fit it all in, but no matter! I never got his name, but he asked what part of the US - California and where in California since it's a bit big so I said "In the Bay Area near Oakland" to which he gave a polite grimace. His only impression of Oakland was of the Raiders and likely whatever murder story shows up on the news. Thanks news - NOT! I told him about all of the great food to be found in Oakland and the lovely hiking spots! I hope he reads this - remember Homeroom 510 for Mac n Cheese in Oakland, mate! :) Bottom line - Paperchase, lovely staff, lovely selections. I will find you again!
A lovely stationery and novelty shop just off the beaten path…read more The shop was full of gifts, goods, and goodies for the office/home office, for school, for brides-to-be and bridesmaids, and anyone else on the list. The shop had a large stock of journals and notebooks with all sorts of funny and inspirational messages scrolled on the front. Naturally, there were also lots and lots of pens and coloured pencils, from sleek and sophisticated to sparkly and silly. There were tons of greeting cards for just about every occasion, as well as a beautiful display of both loose and rolled gift wrapping paper. I came here looking for heavy, high quality stationery and found some beautiful ivory linen paper with matching envelopes. It was a delightfully pleasant weight and otherwise lovely to touch, although the ink did not adhere firmly to the paper. I had to print a few copies before I was able to produce an acceptable copy with minimal fading and smudging.

The location of this store is decent, it is on Tottenham Court Road and is basically right next to Argos, and opposite Superdrug and Natwest (or at least a few minutes walk away on the other side of the road) This store is quite large, but the selection of stock is merely average for a store of its size, even compared to other Paperchase stores, I didn't notice a lot of cool items which they didn't sell in other stores, for example in terms of lever arch folders, they all seemed the same with nothing new compared to other flagship stores such as Manchester, and more smaller stores such as Newcastle or Liverpool. The store is over three floors, there is a bookshop and Tinderbox Coffee Shop on the first floor and a Crafts / Magazine floor on the Second. The staff around the store didn't seem too friendly either. This store overall was quite impressive in terms of size but for everything else, it was just average. I'm struggling here, although the size of the store is impressive I can't help but feel some aspects with the feel of the store, the service not being great, the level of products not being as good as one would expect from the size of the store, and the unwelcoming nature as you enter the store, I sadly feel it deserves just two-stars.

The writing sets are particularly stylish although they can be quite expensive. Similarly, they have a great selection of Moleskin diaries and books but these can cost anything upwards of £15. On the other hand they have a great selection of arty presents for kids which all seem very reasonably priced and a lot of fun too for that matter! I defy anyone to be too old for face-paints. Cowling and Wilcox is a lovely shop which is well worth a look around if you're in need of anything a bit arty or looking for a more personal present for that difficult someone.
