Wonderful paper goods craft items galore. Very helpful staff who went out of their way to assist me. On a lovely neighborhood shopping street with lots of options like Starbucks and a bakery, etc. it was hard to get out without buying tons of cute items.

This is a very unic place. I really enjoy every visit.

I love this store, enjoy the kindness and knowledge of staff, and feel quite comfortable with their Covid precautions. Plus they have glass straws! 10/10 recommend.

My review is not about the Evanston store it’s about their overall customer service. I was given a gift card for a new address stamp. Since I no longer live near a Paper Source I wanted to use the entire $$ and avoid paying for S&H.Here is where things turn bad - the journal is from 2020. (The review is 2/3/21) I called customer service. I was first told that I could keep the journal and they would credit my gift card but there was an issue since I paid all but $1.00 with a credit card for the balance and they would need to issue the full amount in a gift card. That doesn’t make sense.I asked if there was another solution? At this point I should have agreed because when the manager got involved I was told that it was my fault that I didn’t notice online that it was a 2020 journal. What?! Full price and last years - shame on your store!Then at the end of 30 minutes call, I was told to call back next week to get a FedEx label for the return because they were having issues with fedex?! And then a check would be sent.I said forget it that I have already spent too much time and am too frustrated over how this has been handled. So now I am keeping a 2020 gratitude journal for myself which was intended as a gift for a friend.Trust me an entry will not include “I am grateful for how Paper Source handled this issue”

Excellent shape for cards, stationary, hobby supplies, and just some fun nicknacks that are around the shop. Everytime I go in there, everyone is so nice and helpful.

The staff are always friendly and helpful. They had exactly what I was looking for plus a little more.

Nice little shop for tinkets and paper stuff

Emma led a private class for my friends last month. We had so much fun. Emma did a great job giving us time to socialize but also teaching. I also appreciated that, while we had a varied amount of experience -- from people who had never made cards before to people who make them all the time, we all were able to have fun and learn something new. As a teacher myself, I know how much skill it takes to lead something like that.

Love Paper Source. This location had a great selection and awesome staff. I love the paper sheet selection and how unique they are. They also have the best gift boxes. They are the traditional type of gift box where you wrap the top and bottom portion for easy opening and dont have to necessarily tear open the paper to open the box. Their wrapping paper is great and you get so inspired each time you go into the store. I love it!!

Paper Source is always pleasant to visit, the employees asked us several times if we needed anything. The store has a unique blend of paper based craft type goods and some novelty gifts that are pretty interesting.

Quirky cool selection of gifts.

You can make gifts pretty by picking up some unique items.

Were really lucky to have Paper Source in the neighborhood - they have a fantastic selection of unique cards for every occasion and theyre always super friendly! They even allow dogs inside!

Took a class their on making invitations using stamps and embossing- it was neat! This store has a lot of stuff ranging from paper to unique gift ideas. You could spend several hours just browsing all the neat stuff they have. The staff are always there to help you for a pleasant shopping experience. I would recommend it!

So much fun! So much cute stuff! Prices arent bad, either!

Nice, cute card,gifts store. Not cheap. Couldnt find birthday cards for wife and yet they had all kinds for different occasions. But selection was limited.Frankly dont know how they stay i business

Excellent personal customer service. It felt very hands on and has a specialty niche rather than being at an Office Depot where everything is unaesthetically appealing. There is personality and charm with this location

Paper Source is the most addictive retail experience on the planet. Give yourself a time frame ... and stick to it. Otherwise you will lose hours and dollars! Love this place.

Love that the still do classes here! Cant wait for my little artist to be old enough to participate!

Great place to get art materials for invitations or general projects with the kids. A little pricey. All the stuff is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Very helpful!

Beautiful artsy stuff. Some elegant, some kitsch

Great cards + gift wrap selection.

The staff is great at this store and there is always a lot of uplifting stuff to check out.

Huge selection of unique, tasteful greeting cards. Helpful staff, spacious aisles, good location accessible to transportation.

Gorgeous selection of paper, stationery, notions, and gifts for that epistolary hero(ine) in your life. I cant rave enough about their crafting ideas. They have a wide selection of papers to choose from, with knowledgable, friendly staff ready to assist you with your purchase. Seasonal displays always tempt me to go in and check out the latest selection. And for the letterpress fiend, go no further: there is always an excellent array of items to choose from. Say thank you or I miss you in style with Paper Sources mix of fantastic stationery options.

Always has a great and creative selection of greeting cards and party favors.
