I don't come over to the corner of Paper Luxe very often and so when I was going to another shop…read morenear here we ducked on it to take a peek of the place. We really liked the card selection here but we were primarily into the candle selection and really liked the selection they had there and the various scents. Paper Luxe is great for a little gift and to celebrate cheerful occasions and certainly is a place to keep in mind since the only thing similar I have come across was in Seattle. But perhaps there are closer spots too and I just haven't come across them yet.

Not only that, but she was literally talking OUT LOUD TO HERSELF but ignoring active customers. That's wild. Not going back here and definitely don't recommend it. Also they have very limited selections and the items are overpriced. You can get much similar things online or from a mom-and-pop that appreciates you being there. Hoping they work on their service because it would help them a lot.

That said, I would say its in line with similar shops I have been to in NY, if not a bit more affordable.

I stopped by this small stationery shop in downtown Tacoma yesterday and was pleasantly surprised!…read moreAlthough the store is small, it's thoughtfully curated with a beautiful selection of journaling essentials. They carry Midori journals, Travelers notebooks with inserts and leather cases. These are items I usually only find in specialty stationery stores in Seattle or Portland. There's also a nice assortment of pens, cards for different occasions, and various journal setups. I even spotted paints and colored pencils, which makes this a cozy creative hub for anyone who enjoys journaling or mixed media. It's clear this shop was created with the journaling community in mind. I completely understand how challenging it can be for a smaller store to keep a wide range of stock when people don't always take advantage of having such resources nearby. I truly hope the local journaling community supports this gem so that the store continues to grow and maintain a steady flow of new and inspiring materials. So happy to see this kind of stationery store in downtown Tacoma. I'll definitely be back!

High end stationary and gift store (and baby store!) at the shopping center…read more Very conveniently located, and has doors on two sides (hilariously, and a bit rudely, I thought, some teenage girls used this store as a hallway from one part of the shopping center to the other, simply walking through, stopping to look at themselves in the mirror, then leaving. Well I never! lol). Have been in a couple of times. It's funny to go from one of the big box stores nearby, where everything is marked down and in a way, secondhand, then come in here where everything is closely curated, a lot of local artists, and tbh, pricey. But beautiful. Love all the things. Pleasant staff. I was actually quite intrigued by the charm station this time. They have lots of little tiny cute gold charms and you can fashion a bracelet or what-have-you. On my budget, I usually pick up a sticker... They have a couple of Galentine's events coming up, fyi. One at this location and one in Tacoma.
