To be honest, I don’t think this is the nicest card store around, but I love it because it has fast, available postal service(it’s open seven days a week). The owner is almost always behind the post desk at the very back, running around like a mad woman, but still taking time to say hi to her regulars. I also use this place if I ever need a fax machine because it’s convenient and sometimes they’ll even send the fax for free(but only if you’re patient and nice). Other than that it’s got the basics; a good selection of cards, small gifts, and all the postage packaging and envelopes you’ll ever need. One stop! That’s what I’m talkin’ about!

This is a nice, quiet little greeting-card and stationary store that isn’t quite as overwhelming as the monstrous Hallmark/Laura Secord store farther east on Bloor; if you’re going to send a pre-fab sentiment anyway, at least get it from a local. I wonder: is there a Hallmark moment that involves taking your business elsewhere? Even so, Cards ‘n’ Such has its own version of one-stop-shopping, since there’s a Canada Post outlet(the only one in Bloor West Village) right at the rear. You have to walk the length of the store to get to it, so it’s pretty convenient to buy a card at the front, then get a stamp for it and mail it in the back.
