The best card, paper and stationery shops in Toronto are absolute paradise for crafters, scrapbookers, artists, collectors of shiny things, and anyone who just wants to send a great-looking letter.
Toronto's paper and stationery shops fall mostly into two categories: Artsier shops with all the raw materials to make a fabulous paper creation of your very own, or high-end stationery stores stocked with luxurious letterheads and gilded envelopes. But they often tend to meet in the middle on items like gift wrap, journals and notebooks, artist-designed greeting cards, and a few fun office supplies and last-minute gifts.
All of this means binge-shopping is hard to resist: You walk in for, say, a sheet of black cardstock, and inevitably walk out with a dozen different patterned sheets, some wrapping paper, a pack of coloured Sharpies, fancy twine, and a rubber stamp or twelve. If anything, that's a solid reminder of the joys of paper in an increasingly digital world.
Here are the best card, paper and stationery shops in Toronto.
