They must have new staff because today I went in and browsed while I waited for my lunch to be ready. They had beautiful double ended markers on sale (buy one get one half off). I grabbed two sets of markers, a case for my iPad and a artists pen holder. The pen holder was pretty neat. I used it to store my crochet hooks with it. It's sturdy and really nice Staff was friendly and helpful. Their things can be expensive.

Typo?! Typo?! A misprint? More like fun, racy stationery!! A sister store to Cotton On, it was nice to see what else these Australian stores have to offer. It was like a combination of Urban Outfitters' gag gifts mixed with a dash of Ikea office supplies and pens galore! Definitely a fun place to get a snazzy planner with a little attitude or a sophisticated planner that's leathered out. And best part - they're affordable! I can't believe this place just opened and they already had 50% off items or they also had a 30% promo for family & friends! Ooohhh yeaaah, got the bang for the buck! - Loved the variety of pens and highlighters - Cool ruler shaped like a pistol, haha! - They even sell picture frames here. - Fun laptop cases were displayed. - Have a bunch of greeting cards & some blank ones that were hilarious. - Thanks David for the help! Great customer service, and the 2 employees were nice enough to explain what "Typo" was about! read more

Adorable store I saw from an online instagram post! Last time I went in Early may they had a huge selection of items on sale that I really wanted the previous time I was there! I wish the store had more cool stuff to offer but it's ok with me! read more

This newish stationery store chain from Australia (an offshoot of Cotton On clothing stores), doesn't have too many locations in the US yet, so the products feel cute, offbeat, and unique. It's not as young as Limited Too/Justice but is about the level of Urban Outfitters/Fred Flare. The merchandise is girly but there isn't too much pink. The quality is decent and prices are reasonable. This location had a big sales section. Typo carries mugs (2 for $10), bags, pens, blackboards, corkboards, picture frames, gift wrap, greeting cards (3 for $10), ribbons, pouches, laptop cases, stickers, headphones, iPhone cases, frames, journals, notebooks, magnets, tea cup and pot sets, alphabet tiles, file folders, staplers, and calendars. Popular themes included Paris, hearts, skulls, cameras, and owls. The greeting cards are reasonably cute. I liked the hamburger one: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/4NaYQUzONXpgl5IOJECWDw?userid=NOUfyJW-BAo_-Cbfo8edww#Eo-wateVJKldKfNOM6BBTw. Rolls of Xmas wrapping paper are currently $2 and Xmas cards are $1. The wrap is on the thin side but cute. My picks: * Daily planner for 2013 * Sequined laptop cases * Decorative roll tape * Ceramic owl pencil cup * Magnetic photo frames for school lockers read more

This new store at Stonestown is simply magical. Brightly colored and completely welcoming, as you enter this store that is sure to meet your every journalistic need. They offer items ranging from notebooks, wall hangings, pillows, iPad cases, phone cases, everything you need for your office or home office, they've got it. Prices are more than reasonable too. $19.95 for a mint green, sturdy iPad case. Notebooks ranging from $6.95 to $14.95. Right now, they have a huge emphasis on mint green and pink which I LOVE! Mint Green is my favorite color so it's nice to be abe to buy everything in this color. I love walking in here and looking at everything they have. They have little displays in a certain color or theme and it makes you want to buy everything. Staff is so friendly and they are there to help. I love this store and can't wait to buy more stuff for my new work office! read more

Their stuff is super cute, definitely. I love their product! However when I was shopping there tonight, I had came back to make a purchase at 8:50 (mall closes at 9). When I walked in, they kicked me out because they claimed they were "closing". And when I told one of the associates that I already knew what I wanted and all I had to do was pay for it, she said it was okay. While I was walking further in to the store to grab my item, another employee told me that they were closing and I had to leave even after I told her that I was all set to go and pay!! The girl with brunette wavy hair was apparently a keyholder and was also the one that kicked everyone out. Unbelievable! I was shocked that they even had the nerve to do that. I'm a retail manager and I'm surprised that they couldn't say yes to that situation. Not only did they kick me out, but the rest of the customers in there. However they still accepted other transactions from one more person. Why??? So with that said, they lost a customer, a transaction, and money. Whoever is the manager of this store should definitely speak to those employees working that night because your business will go down if they keep kicking people out like that only because they have to do their simple closing procedure. They still had 5-10 minutes to spare and by the contract they signed with the mall, they have to close at 9. This is a penalty for early closing and that store can be cited. Great product, but terrible customer service even when it was such a simple task! Because that goes to show that they're lazy. read more

Typo is not your typical stationary store. While they do have a vast assortment of pens, greeting cards (snarky, clever, and traditional ones alike) and notebooks, they also sell everything from decorative lanterns to art & craft set to canvas poster prints. I love exploring what they have. Many of their themes do focus on what's "in" these days...lots of owls, Paris-related (Eiffel Tower everything, Macarons, etc), and cupcakes, but whatever. Also, when they have sales, they usually focus on a set of items, so if it's something you've been keeping your eye on, it's usually a darn good value! :) read more

It's a fun store of stationary goods. There's enough quirk to their novelty items to amuse and tickle an artist's funny bone. This is definitely a place to visit for the special artist gift or to find the right paper to send out unique invites to a party. I could spend at least an hour here delighting in all the cute knickknacks and stationary. Unfortunately, I only got to spend twenty minutes here browsing. It is a rather narrow store. I could see it being awkward to shop in if more than a dozen people were in it at a time. It's quite crammed with stuff, so I'd recommend shopping here like I did when it wasn't crowded. Otherwise, I'd be afraid I'd knock something over. read more

I bought my neighbor a Snoopy Calendar last Friday, realizing she'd been asking for one for sometime. Tonight I called her after work, and told me I got her the wrong one. Anyways, I bought another one today for my mom. You can't please everybody! read more

Me: How much are these? Her: Everything is priced as marked, so that's 9. Me: How come these look exactly the same and they're 5? Her: Everything is priced as marked! So those are 9 and those are 5.... Me: Ok, Ill just go get all of the ones that are exactly the same but with the cheaper tags. Her (stares at me with death ray stare):............ Me (getting in other line so I dont have to deal with nasty unhelpful her): Ok, I'll take these. Him: Oh, she can help you in that line. Im not really open. Me: Huh. Ok. Me (after waiting in her line AGAIN to buy the same stupid stuff, which admittedly is GOOD stupid stuff or I would have left already): Ok, I'll take these. They are all marked with the significantly cheaper prices. Her: Debit or credit? Me: Debit is fine. Her (spends forever writing 'all sales are final' on receipt): Have a nice day! - - - - - - - - - - Me: That was unpleasant. Daughter: I feel a Yelp review coming on. Except she really doesn't care Mom. She'd be thrilled to be fired. She's hating on that job, and clearly she's not the manager. Husband: Doofer was probably manager- he doesn't care either or he wouldn't have told you to go wait in her line again. Fly by night store like that with a bunch of really cheap crap's gonna be gone in a month anyway. read more

I just went here last night and I absolutely FELL. IN. LOVE!!! Apparently, this store just opened up last weekend but is already making waves with the surrounding stationery lovers. Reigning from Australia as a sister company to another store I favor, Cotton On, Typo is the perfect stop away from all the mainstream this-looks-just-like-that stores that malls are so knowingly famous for. From school notebooks telling you to "Keep Calm and Party Hard" to the cutest mustache-themed push pins I have ever seen-- this store will surely put you in stationary bliss. I spent most of my excitement in their 50% off 2012 products but it seemed like almost everything was on sale-- from notebooks to calendars to frames (to block letters!), this store will put a smile on any sweet-deal-AND-cute-steal lover's face. They also have a whole wall full of cards that are wittingly amazing and anti to your regular Hallmark product-- if my future boyfriend is reading this, please buy all cards HERE. I will definitely be coming back for their collection of "This Sucks" and "Great Job... Being a Moron, etc." stamps. My only con: I probably would NOT have bought most of these items had they not been 50% off... ... but other than that, VISIT THIS STORE & LOVE!!! ---- Products Bought: Moustaches of the World Calendar Moustaches of the World Push Pins Keep Calm and Carry On Calendar Keep Calm and Party Hard 2012 Diary Totes Awesome Notes (self-explanatory) read more

Love the product but horrible return/ exchange policy! Why can't you exchange something that's in it's original package with receipt? read more

I wish I could give them zero stars. I just left 3.27 8:30pm. I had the WORST experience. While waiting in line to check out (my brother looking at stuff up front and my fiancé next to me) I overheard the two cashiers talking about how they thought my brother, a 32 year old man waiting for his little sister was shoplifting. They acted unporfoessinoaly behind the counter and one girl even said she found a lighter in the store someone must have left and she decided to steal it....Maybe they should stop spending time making classy, shoppers feel judged and spend more time getting help for their own stealing issues they so openly talked about.... This store has gone so far downhill. Such gross behavior. read more

They have so much stuff. Cute, fun and/or hilarious tongue-in-cheek items. Stationery, got it. Throw pillows, got it. Dog accessories, got it. Holiday decor, got it. (Halloween, Christmas, etc.) Magnets for anyone? Yes! Puns, FTW! Kitchen tea towels, mitts, and other accessories? Yes! Cute stuff? Yes, plenty! Prices = reasonable to moderate. They have a clearance/sale section, too. Service = friendly staff. Note: Yes, please be careful walking around the store as it is fairly packed and there are (potential) breakables everywhere. read more

So this is a great store! They have all sorts of different stationery items, room decorating items, kitchen items, and just random things for travel and the house. They get a new selection, every so often and they have different themes throughout the store. The staff were always very nice and helpful. The store itself is usually pretty clean, sometimes on the weekends I can get a little messy, but what store does it? The prices are definitely a little bit higher than average I would say, but it's because it's such a cute story. If you're looking for something and the cheaper end, you can definitely find it elsewhere. The one thing that I don't like about this store, is that they have a 14 day return/exchange policy. I sometimes just miss it by one day and then you're just out of luck. read more

This location is not closed! I was just here yesterday. Great stationary store, lots of fun stuff!

As an avid lover of stationary, notebooks, and all cute paper-related things, I love this store! Every time I come in here, I want to buy everything. I happened to wander in on Black Friday when they were having a 40% off sale, which was awesome. I bought a cute traveling notebook and I can't wait to fill it up! The only bummer was that the notebook had a removable leather cover so that you could use a new notebook each time you travelled, but they didn't sell the replacement notebook (if that makes sense). Basically, you'd have to buy the entire thing over again if you wanted the refill, which is a bummer. Also, I noticed that a lot of the notebooks were missing the pencil-looking pen that was supposed to be included. Overall, this store is really cute, but a lot of the things are on the pricier end. You should also be careful that what you're buying has everything that is supposed to be included and check about things like refills, if it's reusable. read more

I always had a hard time finding special occasion cards for my friends and family. I never felt like run of the mill cards from target were funny or clever enough to convey how I feel. Typo is perfect for those occasions, whether you want a sassy card for you BFF, funny card for your dad, or a lighthearted card for a friend who is having a baby. I ended up picking up a DYI puzzle card, where u can draw your own illustration and write something on the back. Then you can jumble it all up before giving it to your special someone. The card itself was a hefty $7, but they had a special where any three cards are $10. I just went back and picked up two more of those puzzle cards for future use. Score! Other than cards and stationary, they've lots of kitschy goods that would make fun, lighthearted gifts. My boy ended up picking up some blinged out gold headphones and I picked up a large magnetic clip for my fridge. read more

Typo is a really cute store that sells a variety of trendy items: stationary, office supplies, arts & crafts, cards, lighting objects, tech accessories, bags, etc. Their prices are reasonable, and their selection of merchandise seems to change pretty frequently. Not to mention that the store always seems to be having some sort of a sale. Out of the items in the store right now, I would recommend checking out their pens and notebooks, which are always amazing; their photography journals (i.e. dog's first time doing x); their travel journals; their funny water bottles; and their animal shaped calendars. Right now, there seems to be a huge selection of pug items, so if you like pugs, I would definitely recommend stopping by. I believe the store originates from Australia. There aren't any other locations anywhere near San Francisco, so it's pretty unlikely to see these products anywhere else. Protip: If you see something you really want and there doesn't seem to be much stock in the store, I would recommend buying it right away. They don't seem to reorder items, so if you miss your chance on buying a product, you'll most likely never see it again. Trust, I know from experience. read more

I don't usually write reviews for stores, but I can't help myself...... THIS STORE IS TOO ADORBS!!!!!!! I didn't know about this place until I went to Stonestown to do some shopping. And Typo caught my attention. Like a little kid whose eyes just saw a treasure chest of candy goods, I was captivated. Excited! Ooooo, what's in here? A shitload of cute room decorations, office supplies, etc. I couldn't help but touch and and stare at all their stylish furnishings! Affordable and reasonable prices too! I got a canvas painting for my room (there were so many choices though, I seriously couldn't decide which one to get!) for $15 bucks I think. NOT BAD! Also got my moms a mother's day mug. Love the style of this store. Simple modern chic. I can imagine myself stopping by and purchasing something new every time I visit....which is soooo dangerous for my wallet. Also - they have the cutest shopping bags!!!!!! EEEEPS! Their shopping bags are like those inter-office envelopes - so unique and fresh. I think that must be my favorite part about this store. Swear, Typo is every girl's dream. Or maybe just mine. read more

C u t e ! ! ! Why did no one ever tell me about this place?! In a nut shell, think of the Stationary & Gift wrap section of Borders. When I walked in yesterday their current sale was Buy 4, small canvas art pieces for $20. These are really great girly apartment decor, or office decor. Cute notebooks, Keep Calm & Carry On trinkets, pens, pencils, gift wrap. Nothing caught my eye, and wasn't really practical to buy, but I will rave to other girls who enjoy cute stationary. ;P read more

I'm a new SUPER FAN of TYPO!! :) I first came across it in Singapore and thought it was really unique. I never saw one in bay area before. I was thrilled to go in and take a look. I love their stuff. You can definitely get some really cute decorations for your room. Plus you can get cute school and office supplies as well. LOVE IT! read more

Love the store! I love their cute items and their awesome decors. Their price is reasonable ( you get what you get with their cute adorable items!) People who work there are super friendly, they didn't charge customers when they broke the large glass item in the store! P.S: Their music playlist is on point!!!! read more

If you're in the mood for some unique and functional items this is it! Its like a designer stationery store, if you will. There are tons of hipster and kitsch things (which I like, in moderation). The quality is also really good, so its going to last you longer than that WalMart brand. If you do go in, check out the clearance section!!! You'll really haul in the savings there. I find it funny, because I bought a water bottle here, of all things, and it is by far my favorite thing from the store! lol Definitely worth a look. read more

A good selection in their sale section and a great competitor to Papyrus, I was surprised at how many small tchotchkes they offered from stamps to cut-out paper masks, it's sort of like an Urban Outfitters and a Paper Source into one. I invested in alphabet stamps and I cannot wait to use them. read more

(Inside Stonestown) This store is really interesting. They have a good selection of cool stationary and some neat eclectic-type stuff. It's very focused on trends, which is fine if you're into being trendy, no judgement. It's a little pricey; I usually cruise through their clearance section and find some cute cheap stuff occasionally. read more

Hmm......good music is always bumping up in this place and that is about all I got. I think I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking. Check out the picks. Just an odd place to me. Seen some strange people in here giggling to themselves...yeah I know. read more

okay, I have to admit the stuff is really really cute here. HOWEVER, I will not be returning. Why? I picked up a folder that was $1 (from the sale section.. usually $1.50) and went up to pay for it since I needed one to carry a couple of papers for one of my classes. The cashier looks at me, gives me a face/attitude, "The whole store is 30% off and you're buying a $1 folder." I didn't reply to that because I was so shocked at how rude that was. GEE. I'm sorry, but I didn't know $1 has no value anymore. I'm a college student and $1 folders ARE NOT CHEAP TO ME. I could buy them in bulk somewhere else with the same design for so much cheaper ($.05/folder, anyone?). Money is money, please don't judge just because I'm not spending $10+. p.s. no one was in the store, maybe I wouldn't have been as offended as I was if there were more people and I was 'holding up the line' with a $1 folder or some sheet, but hello. A customer is a customer, no matter how much they spend. Now I'm going to spend $0.00, is that better? read more

A rather very pricey store but if you go to the store during the right times for their planners, you can get them 70% off and only pay about $5 bucks per planner. I really like the high end quality planners and journals they have. (I recently bought a planner for my last semester in college to keep myself more organized and it really helps). Customer service is pretty decent and I signed up for their membership (it's free) that also works with Cotton On which is a clothing shop upstairs. read more

Was given a hard time by sales clerk for not donating money to charity. This was how my purchase ended: "Here's the 62 cents you didn't donate." Love the stuff, hate the staff. Taking my business elsewhere. Never again. read more

It's from australia, mate! I am in LOVE with this store. To the point where it is almost unhealthy. Urban outfitters & Office Depot had a baby & named it Typo. If you're quirky & weird like me, you need to check this place out. My friends literally have to stop me every time we go to Stonestown. Which is kind of impossible since i go to sf state. So they CAN'T stop me! Ever since this store opened, i've been going here at least a few times a month. And about 99% of the time buy at least one item. since the store opened, i've bought: mustache calendar : $2 leather planner: $5 passport wallet: $5 notebooks: $2.50 ea. Ashley backpack: $30 pens & markers: 5 for $5 One day, my friend (it was her first time) & i came here to "browse". We probably looked at every single section. & i mean every. We looked through each individual small drawer. You can find random things in there. We actually discovered pens that weren't even on display yet. (my friend bought a whole box of 'em.) All in all, it took us more than 2 hours!!! For reals. The cashier was amazed. Yes it can be a bit pricey, but watch out for sale! Some of the things you've been eyeing will most likely be on clearance eventually. If you find something you really like & it's pretty cheap, i suggest buying it. The next time you go there, it could be gone! I learned it the hard way *tear*. I love their pens the marker types, which are great for taking notes by the way cuz they don't smear...anywho they also have a great selection on notebooks from sketchpads to just everyday journals. Anyways, the store's hekka cute! If you're looking for gifts or just have a thing for stationary, this place is for you. Get ready to fall in love. I warned you. Happy shopping :) read more

Move over Paper Source, I think I found a new love! Located on the lower level in the middle of the mall is this cute little paper store. I couldn't believe they were owned by Cotton On. This Australian owned store has uber cool office/school supplies in all price ranges. Cute notebooks with cleaver little sayings start at $6.99 and pens 5 for $5. You really can't beat that. Cute and cheap, who doesn't love that?! read more

Super cute stationary/ novelty store!! Great customer service my experience here was great! The staff was bubbly and super helpful. Also they have a great playlist. :) If you want to have a fun time while shopping I definitely recommend this store. read more

Bought a black and white "retro flip clock" for my living room. I love it, and I can read it from across the room without my glasses on.

I need this place to stop being the cutest stationary store in the whole world. I can barely handle how much I love this place. It is 1 of 5 stores at the Stonestown Mall that 1) is worth stepping foot in and 2) deserves to be at a cooler place than the Stonestown Mall. read more

I super loved this store when it first opened, and give props to the cuteness of the products. However lately the past 3 times I visited the store the employees were down right unprofessional. Sucks because the Typo products is such a great concept! Examples of Typo customer service: 1.) I had tested some new DKNY perfume in Sephora. The male sales associate was busy putting out merchandise he completely ignored the front of the store. I overheard the cashier tell a sales associate to smell me. As she was behind me I turned around so fast- she got caught and didn't know what to do. They both laughed, that was rude. Shouldn't they be greeting customers entering the store? It was packed, wonder if the tweens in the front were able to make off with notebooks while the Typo employees play games. She was wearing sunglasses on the sales floor too, interesting. 2.) Another time my BF wanted to purchase a notebook marked $10.95, when the cashier checked the price he said, "The price is wrong!". And my BF said, "The price is right on the notebook." The cashier marched over to the notebook stack and started removing all the price stickers. It was not a big deal, we weren't tripping. But it was funny he couldn't admit the sticker was the wrong price. Didn't offer a "Sorry that's our mistake, but we will honor that price." The principle of his behavior was quite entertaining I admit. I have a some cool items from Typo, some stamps, gun ruler, cool stationery and notebooks from here. Maybe they will open more stores in other malls where there are other CottonOn stores. read more
