Deemed a "candy store of creativity" by Ottawa Magazine, The Papery inspires heartfelt messages and arranges treasured memories with quality stationery, seasonal gifts, invitations, and custom-made photo albums. Shelves stocked with stationery and seasonal gift stock such as greeting cards, wrapping papers, and holiday-themed decor (many items available for less than $10) line the shop's walls. High-quality pens ($18.95–$85) let scribes scrawl heartfelt apologies for stealing pens on notecards ($18.95/10-pack). Made in-house, The Papery's photo albums ($80 for 14"x10") come in a variety of sizes, enfold pages made from ivory-coloured Italian paper in fabric-covered bindings, and serve as a festive vessel for preserving lifelong memories, from celebrating a daughter's wedding to skydiving with the queen.
