Paperchase is the shop I think I couldn't do without.

It's one of the only survivors of a dying breed of shop, I can't think of any high street shop that sell cards and stationery almost exclusively which is such a shame.

Paperchase is quirky and fun. They sell a really great range of greetings cards for every occasion and the thing that sets them apart from everyone else is that they don't have the same old cards you see in every other card shop. I can pretty much guarantee to find something that bit different (finding a card for my friends' civil partnership was easy!). They also have a great range of wrapping papers, pens and diary's and journals.

They also sell a quirky range of stationery, pens and all manner of fun and 'kitschy' things for example I have a plastic pepper money box that always gets comments when people see it on my kitchen window!

The only downside is they can be a little on the pricey side at times, but for me it's worth the extra spend to have something that bit different that you can't find anywhere else.

I heart paperchase, and next time you are passing one you should pop in and see what you can find!
