Wedding cards (Sep 2024)
Luke L.

Seaside Papery (established in 2004) is a super cute stationery boutique located on the busiest part of Orange Avenue in Coronado Island. [Parking]: Parking can be pretty difficult in this part of Orange Avenue, but you may find free street parking nearby if you are lucky. [Items]: They sell specialty gift wrap, party accessories, writing accoutrements, and stationary. They also offer personal consultations on boutique wedding stationery by appointment. I came here to find a wedding card and nothing stood out as super unique, but the selection had a broad and mass appeal. I ultimately got a card for $6.50 and a dark grey pen from LePen for $2.50. [Conclusion]: A nice shop to check out after a meal at the next door neighbor Little Frenchie. I wouldn't recommend anyone driving out of the way just to get a greeting card here, but it is certainly worth a stop if you are nearby. A nice tourist shop to check out after dining next door at a popular restaurant called Little Frenchie. I wouldn't recommend anyone go out of their way just to buy a greeting card, but it is definitely worth a stop if you are near Coronado Island.

Came by this very darling shop while visiting Coronado. There are so many cute items here and my daughter was loving the jelly cat selection. I loved the cute little earrings. The ladies were very nice here and helpful. My girls are already talking about coming back!

Gorgeous store full of beautiful stationary, gifts, paper goods, and do much more. My favorite stationery store in SD, so many cute things to admire and surround yourself with.

Front display - butterfly garlands

This place has absolutely beautiful things. The reason for the lower star review is that a fair share of items for sale are straight from Paper Source -- and at a nice markup from their retail prices. But, this is a tourist spot so many folks may not have a PS near them, nor know they are getting ripped off. Moderately friendly staff. Definitely a great addition to Orange St. and the quirky shops on the island. The front display (and my pic) are of these beautiful butterfly garlands. I'm not sure where I would ever put one, maybe a girl's room? But definitely worth a look just for those. UPDATE! According to the owner comments on my review I was WRONG WRONG WRONG about my Paper Source products comment. Plus one star for my being WRONG and for the owner's to take a not entirely positive review and reply intelligently!

Charming card selection

I stopped in while strolling around in Coronado last weekend. Some gift shops aren't worth a visit but this one is tres chic! I lusted after their selection of cacti pillows with tassels as well as their charming San Diego prints. I found the best smelling sunscreen, as well as very good earrings. I think this shop will help you find great California souveniers or gifts if you are a tourist, or just giftworthy items if you are a local. Their in-house giftwrapping service is totally worth it!

See all

Claudia does beautiful calligraphy. She also teaches calligraphy classes. I would highly recommend…read moreher.

I recommend Claudia to everyone, I can't rave about her enough and this review is only highlighting…read moresome of the great things about her and her studio. Trust me when I say Claudia will exceed any expectations you have for any project. I found Claudia from googling "San Diego calligrapher" and I am SO blessed that I found her. Claudia answered the phone right away and she invited me to her cute shop in Old Town and that is when I saw she does so much more than just wedding invites. I immediately asked if she could help me with more projects for my wedding. Claudia helped me with my wedding invitations, designed and created the most beautiful day of stationary; church programs, table seating chart, menus, table numbers, place cards, bar menu, and signs. Claudia can truly do anything and if you don't know what you want she has so much experience and knowledge to create what is true to you and your partner. She created things I've never seen done and she does it in such a calm and peacefully manner. Her husband, Eric is such a great graphic designer as well and they make the perfect team. I loved coming into the shop and working with Claudia, it truly was a highlight in our wedding planning journey that I will never forget. Thank you Claudia and Eric for providing San Diego and beyond with your beautiful talents! I can't wait to work with Claudia for other life events in the future.

Little Italy

Vitreum Giftware is a small and charming gift shop located in Little Italy in San Diego…read more [Parking]: Street parking only and parking in Little Italy can be difficult. I got lucky and found metered parking near Camden Tuscany Apartments approximately three blocks away. Apparently there is also a Little Italy Parking Garage at 715 W Cedar St with a $5 per hour rate. [Merchandise]: This is probably one of the very few Japanese specialty gift shops in San Diego with a small section on Japanese stationery. Other items include tableware (plates, bowls, ceramic, and porcelain pieces), drinkware (mugs, glasses, teacups, and teapots), vases, plants, terrariums, and other cute Japanese trinkets / decor. [Conclusion]: This is one of the best Japanese giftware shops I have seen in San Diego; otherwise you will have to drive to Los Angeles for similar gift shops. Come here for a curated selection of Japanese gifts.

The most adorable Japanese trinket and homeware shop!…read more Unfortunately, they don't allow pictures inside, so you're just going to have to trust me on this one. Located in Downtown, it can be a bit of a pain to get to with all the parking and such, but it's totally worth it! Walking inside, I was immediately overwhelmed with the need to buy everything. There were gorgeous dishware, homeware, jewelry, stationery, incense, and more! If you're just getting into matcha, this is also a great place to start. They've got all your essentials, a good selection of matcha, and the cutest chawans! Best part is that everything is quite reasonable in price for the quality that you get. Do stop by the next time you're in the mood to peruse!
