Grabbed some specialty wrapping paper to send some friends gifts from my trip to China. Wonderful selection, but you may need multiple sheets if your gift is larger than 12x12. In addition to wrapping paper items, they have stationary, greeting cards, and fun games and trinkets for gifts. The staff is nice. They will wrap gifts for you for an $8 charge but you will need to buy ALL of the pieces that you want the gift to be wrapped with.

Very kind staff replaced our sticky notes after we had lost them due to the bag falling apart. 10/10 customer service, thank you

Great gift shop in the heart of King street! Plenty of gift options and gift wrap ideas! Prices are reasonable if you think of Old Town Alexandria! The area is amazing! And the staff are very polite!

Great place for cards, wrapping paper, gifts, etc.
Im not really into stationary but this is such a fun store. They have the best wrapping paper and their greeting card selection is hard to match. They had a perfect card for my mom’s birthday.
The one downside is the less than convenient location.

Really good desk and design stuff. The only downside is the prices.

My reviews are mostly food reviews but I had to take a moment to say thanks to the staff at The Paper Source. They were so awesome at helping me pick wrapping paper for a gift and wrapped the gift so beautifully! My friend thought her gift looked stunning. Thank you everyone!

This is a nice find down in Old Town Alexandria. If you love writing, this is the place for you. A broad assortment of paper products that are worthy of capturing your thoughts in ways that the shiny, glossy, big box store products could never compete with. Their assortment is high quality. The physical footprint of the store can fool you in to thinking you'll be in and out of here. You'll find that you can get lost browsing the large assortment and all of the options to chose from that make your expression of thought and creativity unique to you and what you're trying to communicate to the person or audience you're writing to, whether it's a thank you card or something of greater depth and complexity. Be ready to browse!!

A very cool store in Old Town Alexandria.This was a diamond in the rough, a lagniappe, an unexpected and pleasant find as we were visiting Old Town Alexandria. This is one of the many stores on King Street. It is located on the south side of the street between a boutique and a Mexican restaurant. The shop has a LOT of items in it. As you enter there is a ramp with some of their sales right by the entrance. If it is made with paper I believe that they have it or can get it. They have an entire display of different wrapping paper designs, a cutting station, writing implements, supplies for journaling and the list goes on. Their Facebook site states, “We inspire you to Do Something Creative Every Day!” and I believe it. It looks like they have tried to make it accessible for all. It seemed that they had something for everyone. I could have spent a fair amount of time just looking at all of the varied items in the store. The store was very clean even though it seemed pretty busy. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The prices were reasonable for items in the store. Overall, a really neat store that certainly inspired me to do something creative and write this review. I hope it inspires you if you choose to visit the store.
