One of my favorite things to receive and give during the holidays, or anytime, is a thoughtful and unique card with a thoughtful and unique message on the inside. None of this Hallmark - just sign your name after the formulaic message – greeting card business.
Below is a brief review of some of Dallas’ paper product shops. A distinctive holiday card is the perfect touch to any gift. And you can pick up some thank you cards as well, that you will need for after the holiday season. Whatever you do, don’t just pick up any old card from the grocery store – especially one with Snoopy gracing the cover.
Paper & Chocolate - www.paperandchocolate.com
My favorite place for custom invitations, announcements, or anything that requires personalization. This is also the place to go for ‘paper art’ AKA wrapping paper. And they serve gourmet chocolate – perfect!

Though this is a chain, and you might not find the most unique card or stationary – they have a wide selection of cards for all kinds of life occasions and with locations through out the DFW Metroplex, there is probably a location nearby – and during the holiday season, that’s a real bonus.
