Papyrus

Came here to buy a birthday gift. Ended up just buying a card and looking around. The sales girl was so rude, didn’t even acknowledge me when I walked in or when I paid. While I waited for her to get change from the back (she’s still not acknowledging me) a customer drops a bunch of merchandise and clearly needs help putting it back. She doesn’t even assist her. I would have bought something else but it seemed too inconvenient to ask any questions. I bought my card and left. Oh well. Merchandise is cute though.

Would it hurt to have some friendly customer service skills? I’m NOT asking to be greeted when I come in but at least a «hello» when I go up and pay. WOW! And this is high end area I would hate to see the type of people Papyrus hires in the mall.
The cashier just gives the vibe she doesn’t like her job at all.
Other than that great stuff don’t miss out their 50% sales.

Always really clean although they have several tables in the center that are always PACKED with cards and small gifts. The store is generally very easy to navigate and you can get a pretty card very quickly. They are a bit pricier than those you’d find at the Drug Store but they are much prettier. Occasionally the store will even have select cards on sale for half off.

The store grabbed my attention ’cause I saw some Grumpy Cat cards. The store is very small. It can fit no more than 2 people comfortably. I am a huge fan of their cards. I used to buy their cards at Chapters and other card stores, however, I am so happy that they now have a store of their own situated inside Oakridge mall. The cards are $$$, however, very well decorated with embeds. I love their Christmas cards.

If you love Papyrus cards then this is the place to come. I came here looking for single blank cards but unfortunately due to Mother’s Day coming up the selection of blank cards was quite limited. The cashier said there’s usually more, but today I might have been better off checking out the Papyrus section in Target.
What I loved was discovering these amazingly cute music boxes made of wood. They also had some hilarious short comics/​books, like one titled «All My Friends Are Dead.»
I left the store with a nice colorful mug and a graduation card for a friend.
Summary: A good place to come for a wider selection of Papyrus cards and other cute unique stuff. Also, its 2^nd street so finding parking will probably be difficult.

I never knew about this place until a friend got me a very cool birthday card last year that had lights and sound. I was in the area waiting to get lunch and while we were waiting to get a seat we stopped by here since I never set foot in any location.
They have cards you definitely won’t be able to get elsewhere so seeing all the unique cards from birthdays, graduations and other special occasions was nice. However it doesn’t come cheap as I saw some cards range from $ 6 to as high as $ 10.
I grabbed one for Mother’s Day and I do like the design of it a lot.
The cashier however was meh. She didn’t seem too eager to helping me and I don’t know why she asked if I wanted my receipt and a bag. I’m a paying customer. It’s obvious I want a bag at least and not walk around the area carrying a card without a bag. Cashier’s name was Sara I believe. I would’ve given a higher rating but her mood puts it to an average experience.
I would buy more cards from this company but not this location again.

Neanderthal come to pupwalrus before go to wedding last week. For wedding gift, Neanderthal get two pitcher frame and try to get gift bag for to put frames in last minute.
Neanderthal first go rite aid but no gift bag big enough for larger pitcher frame. So Neanderthal then go here and they no have gift bag big enough either. This make Neanderthal sad, because run late to wedding and need solushion fast. Girl working pupwalrus then say if Neanderthal bring in frame, they can wrap there fast.
Neanderthal rush home, grab frames, come back for to have gift wrapped. Here how went down:
Custom service very good. Two feemail working, both help neanderthal and both very nice.
Neanderthal get big pitcher frame gift wrapped, and get gift bag for smaller one. Gift wrap take very long time for large frame. This upsetting because Neanderthal tell them he run late for wedding in Corona and in big hurry. But Neanderthal understand girl just want to good job, so hard to be mad at her. But still, between pick out gift wrap and her actually wrap it take abrontously 20 minute. Maybe this foreshadow traffic on 91 freeway? Cave-​sigh.
Price very high. For wrap for large frame and buy gift bag for small frame, it cost $ 27. For some, this may not seem big deal. But Neanderthal gross annual income only 3 boulder, 14 stone, and 100 shell. So this very much price. Now Neanderthal son have go into family business instead of go to collige.
Next time Neanderthal just buy smaller gift. Ugh.

Okay first review– here we go. I’ll keep it simple with bullet points.
–Yes, people still give cards, and yes, I am one of those people.
–I enjoy unique and non-​generic cards you can’t find at your local (whateverstorehere).
–There aren’t many paper goods store out there anymore, and I can’t even find a hallmark in my local mall.
–Thus Papyrus!
–It is pricey, but worth it for their unique and numerous option of cards.
–TIP: Look online, find your card, give em a call with the item #, and they can find it for you right then and there on the phone, plus you can put it on hold. Easy!
–I say that because if you look around you’ll end up spending an arm and a leg.
–Be wary of parking. But that’s all of 2^nd Street honestly.
*Also! Thanks Sara for putting a card that was almost out for me! Needed that final touch to make my gift that much better: D

Love this place! Beautiful cards and gifts. A little on the expensive side but worth it.

All I can say is this place is my mother ship and it’s always calling me home!!! Thank goodness I moved away from 2^nd St or I would be broke living so close to this shop. I can, and have, spend hours browsing the cards, gifts, stationary, and wrapping options. For such a small store they have so much to offer. The people who work there are always very friendly and seem to know when you need help and when to let you be; the mark of a truly good salesperson in my mind. The buy 3 get 1 free deal on the greeting cards almost manages to convince you that spending more than $ 7 per card is worth it. I fall for it every time and my friends and family are now offended if they get cards from any place else. If you need a very special card this is the place to go!

This store has a great card selection as well as really cute gifts and decorations for your home office.

What can I say about Papyrus? They have beautiful greeting cards and paper products. This particular location in Belmont Shore is quite nice. As you walk into the store, you are surrounded by greeting cards and cute gift ideas like a ring holder or a cute magnet. The staff was pretty friendly and laid back. There was plenty of metered parking within one block of the store. It was very well kept, and it was easy to find exactly what I was looking for.

I am a card freak so I love the handmade cards found here at papyrus.
Yeah…the people receiving them may not appreciate such my subtle and personalized attention to detail in choosing the perfect card to fit any occasion, but hey it’s the thought that counts.
Love this store and the Long Beach location.

All the cards are great, but I definitely love the freedom that the blank cards offer. If you need a card for someone special or for a special occasion, this is the place to go.

My absolute go to for all occasions that require a card. The store is on the small side and they don’t have a massive selection BUT what they lack in size they more than make up for in quality. The cards are truly lovely, tasteful and one of a kind. They carry sappy cards, funny cards and even a few spicy ones. It’s a well organized yet slightly cramped store. The salesgirls are always completely helpful and friendly without the pushy sales vibe. There are also some knick-​knacky gifts and a fabulous selection of thank-​you cards and personal stationary.
Around all of the main greeting card holidays they tend to have a pretty decent buy 3 get 1 free special. Since you’re probably going to be buying multiple cards anyway this is an awesome deal.
I really can’t recommend this store enough

I just got the the perfect Mother’s Day cards at this shop. They’re gorgeous and there was even a great card specially for Grandma on Mother’s Day. I love this place!
I never used to be a card person, but that’s about to change. This is not your typical old lady’s card store where you walk in and instantly feel the eyes of the creepy bigheaded kids all over you, the so-​called «precious moments» collectibles. Okay, in what twisted universe are those supposed to be «cute»? I mean, they freak me out, man!
Papyrus has a fun style to it that appeals to me the way Hallmark and those other brands never did. The store has a contemporary personality; everything is designed to be pretty and modern. The cards have trademark 3D accents like faux gems and scrapbook-​y techniques such as raised chipboard cutouts. Bright, fashionable colors predominate. Of course there’s a display rack at the front for whatever holiday is upcoming, and a huge selection mainly focused on birthdays further inward. Weirdly enough, all this is about similarly priced to the more typical, less elaborate type of cards you’d get elsewhere.
You can also pick up small gifts and fun knicknacks — once again, it’s all cool stuff and NONE of those sappy-​eyed alienhead kid figurines. Thank you!
Be aware that many of the creative sizes and shapes of these cards will require extra postage (often just an extra stamp — check at the post office if you’re unsure); it will say on the back in small print if and when that’s the case.

Really small store, did not have a great selection of wrapping paper.
The one in Studio City is 10 000 times better.

I LOVE THIS STORE! They have a great selection, the store is very clean, and the staff in the store is always looking to see if they can help you in anyway.
I love going to Starbucks next door and walking in Papyrus with a coffee and just shopping around.
May I recommend that you join the Papyrus club and you will save 10% on every purchase and during selected times you will save 30%!!!

The idea of a perfectly relaxing afternoon to me: Wine, Wilco, and stationery. This particular afternoon lacked wine and Wilco, but it did come with a whole slew of stationery. As far as a chain store goes, it’s not too shabby.
Service is always great, they have a few cute gift items, and of course, a ton of stationery. You can definitely get your custom invites here, although — they’re no Paper Source. You know what else you can get? Birthday cards. Lots and lots and lots of birthday cards. It’s not a bad thing, I think that’s when most people send cards. But I couldn’t help but notice a good variety of other «anytime» cards.
But I’m not complaining, I love me some stationery, and they have it in spades at Papyrus.

Quick & Dirty: Cool unique cards, gifts, wrapping, and stationary. A good alternative to Hallmark.
Long & Chotchkie:
I originally went in here just to buy a card and ended up coming out with all kinds of crap! This place has really cool stuff that you won’t find in other stationary stores. And guys, this is a good store to buy girls things that they will like which you will not understand. I’ve learned from having a Mother and a Sister that girls like lots of little things and things with compartments and paper. You know, little keepsakes, chotchkies and stuff. So if you want to get a good present for a girl this would be a good place for supplemental items to a present.
This place also has very nice customer service people and told me about a sale which landed me all kinds of extras that I had no idea I was entitled to.
Would I go here again? Yes, because I like to give people things.
Should you go here? Yes, they have nice stuff and it’s not very expensive.
Thx, Sam
