| - I don't know if this is nerdy or if many people grew up having the same fetish as me but I am obsessed with pens, notebooks, paper, binders, erasers, reinforcements, folders etc. When I was a kid my mom used to take me school supply shopping and it was better than the last day of school for me. I would run up and down the aisles touching everything my chubby fingers could reach.
Now that I am slightly older, I have a more refined taste for stationary stores and I refuse to enter a giant box store like staples to get my fix. Oh and I no longer need school supplies, so I shop for fancy paper instead.
The Papery is a lovely paper store on Yonge St. that I respect for selling exactly what you expect it would, paper. The papery offers reels of beautiful patterned gift wrap and gift bags, amazing bows and unique little ideas to adorn ones gifts. If you expect to find gifts to put inside the wrapping, better change that inclination fast unless of course you intend to wrap a roll of wrapping paper -- an ideal gift for anyone with my bizarre affinities.
A little warning: Often tape does not adhere to the very expensive papers (especially the sparkly, shiny ones) so make sure you ask the counter ladies to try it out first.
