Cute little shop along the Coal Harbour seawall. It's not terribly big but it does have interesting little gifts, wrapping paper, and uniquely crafted greeting cards.
I've bought a few cards here and they seem to cost about $4-5 which sounds pricy, but is worth it if seeking something unique and of high quality.
Since the store is along the seawall, you can park on street near Cordova and Jervis, or at the nearby Coal Harbour Community Center. -

Zing is a nice, high-end stationery store down on the seawall. It's not the largest selection of cards ever, but what they have is well chosen and elegant. Yes, the cards are on the expensive side, but they're very tasteful, sometimes hand-printed cards. It's the sort of place to go if you're trying to avoid garish baby cards or need to send something to a friend who cares about things like nice stationery. I made a habit of cruising the sale basket whenever I was out for a lunchtime walk along the seawall, and managed to get some baby thank-you cards that were priced about in line with nice cards at other stores.
They're opening an online boutique in the near future, which might be a good place to look before going down to Coal Harbour (which is out of the way unless you live right there). -

A very cute little store on the seawall in Coal Harbour. Loved the sock puppet birthday cards and the vintage travel-themed stickers and journal, but nothing really stuck out as a "had-to-have" item.
I'd probably visit again if I was out this way again, as I loved the lightness and brightness of Zing. The stock was unique and it did smell nice with the scents of soy candles. But I think I was expecting something more crafty, perhaps?Listed in: Participation Ribbons: The…

Very pretty store. The type you buy a housewarming gift from. It's got a cute little location along Coal Harbour's side of the Seawall.
I don't think it's a space I would specifically make my way to, if I wasn't walking along the path, and I was feeling spur of the moment. But the pretty papers and little gifty-bits called me in.
I was, however, on a mission--
My friend's 2 year old daughter is obsessed with fish. It's her birthday soon - I want to buy her something fishy...
Mission aborted--
First their prices are definitely higher end than what should be reasonably spent on a 2 year old, second they didn't have the "fishy" things I was in the market for. I guess it's not en vogue this year: want a birdie? a monkey? a giraffe? All are child-fashionable this spring (FYI), I've found out...fish - not so much.
But, if you have a travel bug they had some pretty cool map wrapping paper, note books, perpetual calendars, lots of cards.
Alas, off to the aquarium gift shop I go... -

This place is a hit and miss for me. My first visit there was very confusing. They mis-quoted me which resulted me driving all the way to Bellingham and then found out I could have just got what I needed from Zing.
They do have very good selection of paper related products, especially if u like the fresh, simple and comtempory designs. Great damask patterned wrapping paper and cards. They are pricy though. -

They have a beautiful selection of paperie and gorgeous displays. Although the prices are a bit expensive, it is worth a look. Moreover, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful.
