Oh my goodness!! I love this store. I’m a HUGE paper fan and I was not disappointed. I traveled from Cleveland for a few days and had to go twice, just because I had FOMO! So great. I hope it stays busy… it was packed this week!! Yay!!

Best greeting cards, stickers, stationery and Madison-centric gift selection in town. Also, artsy jigsaw puzzles, quirky jewelry, fun socks, and all the unique pens & pencils one could ever want. Treasures in every nook & cranny of this shop. Dont miss their loft area for creative classes.

Wow! I have bought my Christmas presents here for the past couple years and it is the BEST place for presents. The prices are so reasonable or even inexpensive for gifts, and they have a gift for everyone! The gifts I get here are always the biggest hits of Christmas and they gift wrap too, and the wrap is so nice!

If you loved Artist and Display in Milwaukee, look no further. Nice people, has a very happy color vibe. Beautiful eye candy. My brain was blowing up in happiness.

Perfect pit stop for a local Madison gift or memento. Coffee mugs, golden girls-themed candles, baby gifts, and so much more!

I usually swing by on my lunch hour breaks to mosey around and check out the cool products they have! Great selection. My coworker is moving to MN and they had the perfect goodbye card and present to give. Love this adorable little store. Very affordable and reasonable prices for their products.

Best stationary store in Madison! I had been looking high and low for postcards and couldnt find any anywhere. Then I dropped by this place, and in addition to a bunch of other adorable and practical stationary items, I found an absolute wealth of both Madison postcards and others. They range from a picture of the State Capitol, to Eatings from Madison with drawings of local food, to random cards with cute cats that make very random cat-related statements such as, Cats have nine lives, or Curiosity killed the cat, with NO explanation on why they said this, other than some writing in Chinese. Hilarious and quirky!

You could not ask for a better selection of all things paper and stationary. From stickers to washi tape to notebooks, writing utensils, stamps, paper, and so much more! I discover a new gem every time I step inside. Love. Love. Love.

Definitely the best type of atmosphere for those who enjoy crafts and trinkets! Full of tiny charming gifts, like stickers, clothing pins and patches, papercrafts, sketchbooks, sewing supplies, imported goods, and an interesting upstairs area. I struggle to leave with only one or two items every time I go in rather than buying the whole shop. Though the store is small, since their products are as well you can spend hours examining all their merchandise if you have the patience.

One of my favorite stores on State! Even though I no longer live in Madison, I always make the trip to Anthology every time I visit. Anthology has a great selection of Madison themed gifts for every occasion!

Beautiful location! Go upstairs and work at their craft table surrounded by art and inspiration, or go downstairs and do some shopping for your place below. Beautiful works and pieces fill the space, and the staff is very friendly and helpful!I will absolutely bring some of my crafting pieces here to work on upstairs!

I absolutely love places like this, and this was just one of the best ones Ive been to. They have an immense selection of stickers, cards, and just about any other paper good you would want. As someone who still sends mail, I absolutely love a place where I can go pick up some locally made cards and products to send out to friends.

I love stationary and this place is heaven on earth. There’s so much in such a small space, yet it isn’t overwhelming. They had a variety of paper products, like journals, washi tape, pens, stickers, you name it. I noticed a decent amount of Asian products there, which tend to be my personal favourite as they’re often smaller than items I could typically get from Barnes and Noble.

This is an amazing local business––I dont know why, but I thought it was a chain store. I was very wrong! I go in there mostly to buy beautiful sheets of paper (wrapping paper, some handcrafted)... similar to what the chain store Papyrus sells, but much more reasonably priced and with an amazing selection. The store is full of other delightful items, definitely a cool place to buy supplies for crafts, or Wisconsin-themed gift items, or seriously hilarious original refrigerator magnets, or handmade political buttons. Go! : )

Anthology is my favorite store in Madison! Every staff member is friendly, engaging and passionate about the work they do. Anthology demonstrates that you can be a successful small business while also being ethical and welcoming and standing up for what you believe in, specifically inclusivity and love! And their new location is incredible. So proud of Sachi and Laura for making the big moves! Keep up the good work, you fabulous, fearless women!

My favorite little store in Madison! Tons of cool little trinkets and a bunch of awesome, artsy Madison/Wisconsin/Midwest-themed items from t-shirts to postcards to decor. A very fun store for buying gifts for people - and not outrageously expensive like some kitschy gift shops can be. Keep in mind that Google has mismarked the location, and will send you to the street behind the shop.

My wife loves this store and i get it. It has unique stuff and a nice atmosphere. However, ive been in a couple times to buy her a present and the staff tends to either laugh at me or give me the stank eye. Is it really that uncommon for men to shop for their significant others?

This is my favorite store in all of Madison. Watching all the chains take over the small shops over the years has been difficult. So I see this place as a last holdout for small business!
