Papyrus. They are card and stationery stores. They have beautiful stuff, but they are pricey.

I like Papyrus cards, but didn't know they had stand-alone stores. I've seen Papyrus in supermarkets and, I think, Target. I hope that part of the business survives, along with its website but that's not clear.

I saw that Papyrus is owned by the Schurman Retail Group, as in Marcel Schurman. I used to buy Marcel Schurman cards all the time - they were classic, high quality cards, often printed in Europe. They were the opposite of Hallmark's cutesy treacle.

They have cards and wrapping in both the grocery stores I go to. I love them. Never saw a Papyrus store.

Doesn't surprise me.

My mall has a store and it carries the most beautiful cards, stationary, gift bags and paper, wrapping paper, etc. I have never ever walked out even when half off with spending less than a small fortune; the stuff is expensive. HIGH quality so you definitely get what you pay for.

No one I know sends cards anymore. No one I know sends notes or letters anymore. I don't need or want any more "stuff" in my house anymore so shopping there ended....years ago for me.

What a shame and yet, not expected as we've moved to an online and casual society.

I used to power-walk in a mall several yrs back & they had a

Papyrus store next to Neimans...good location, but never once

did I see anyone in there.

They do have beautiful cards but it's hard to justify driving to a mall

to get a card. Payurus cards are in my grocery store, so....

I buy the wrapping paper and other things that catch my eye. So many different type items in the store. Good for engraved invitations also like weddings etc.

Like a few others have mentioned I didn't know they have stand alone stores. They sell this brand in my local health food store and I've sent a few of their cards to my daughter.

The only one I can remember clearly was for last Easter. It had three little chocolate-looking bunnies sitting on top of three flower pots. The bunnies looked so real--like you could pull them off and eat them. It came with a little information card about hummingbirds and a gold seal with a raised hummingbird to put on the envelope. I think it was was around $8.95 but was so cute I didn't mind paying it, especially since I no longer get to make her Easter baskets.

I'd love to go into one of their stores but it sounds like I might never get the chance.

My local mall had a Papyrus card store and that was my go-to place for buying Birthday cards or any other occasion type cards for family n friends. So this saddens me. It's just another part of my past that is going away.

I always send cards for Birthdays and write notes. Sad to see that people are not doing that anymore. I enjoy looking at penmanship and a special note card to say what you want. I am sorry I didn't save some old letters that people had written to me over the years, like people used to save their love letters in an old box. Well I guess thats a thing of the past and not done anymore.

I'm stuck getting my cards at the local Walmart or small gift shops downtown. I prefer the small gift shops downtown, but that's not always convenient for me.

I used to buy all my cards there. I went in our local store a couple of weeks ago to buy an anniversary card. I couldn't find one that was catching my eye. I couldnt believe it. I told mr henny. He said he had been in there a few days before and couldn't find one for me either.

It's a bit sad. I love cards. I will have to channel my youth and make cards again.

was just in there today.

i was doing my walking in the mall since it was so cold outside. i noticed a sign that said "everything must go."

everything is now 30% off.

i saw a lot of nice items......but i am thinking of waiting for 50 - 60% off.

my daughter is getting married in two months and i told her to come with me so we can pick out thank you notes. ours has a wonderful selection of gift items also......handbags, scarves, music boxes, ornaments, journals, and more.

@I am still oxox Thanks so much for posting this. I only buy Papyrus cards so I just power shopped their website. I have always bought cards ahead for the whole year on their website and I really hope that they keep an online presence -- but the fact that everything online is 20% off with no returns doesn't bode well.

This is sad news. I really like their cards and other things in their shops. They do sell their cards and gift bags, etc in other places too. Like you, I enjoy sending and receiving cards. It's a nice personal touch. My family is big on cards for birthdays, Christmas, Easter, anniversaries, etc and blank cards just for hand writing letters. I like picking out special cards for special people. I cherish the old cards I've kept that my grandparents and others had written things inside for me and when someone sends me cards they sit on my mantle. Lol, I still have my birthday cards and New Year cards out that were sent recently.

Beautiful cards. I think I have every one we have received,Too pretty to throw away. I only send to special people. We have a store in Reno at the Meadwood Mall.

I purchased many cards from Papyrus but not in quite a few years. Sad, but not surprised, to see them go.
