Amazing pen and paper store! I wanted to buy all the fountain pens in there. Staff is knowledgeable and nice. Great store for paper gifts.
A very interesting and particular array of paper materials. Seems like some items are local and some can be found online. I wish they would have gift wrapping paper!
Incredible!! Fantastic shop with great gift ideas. Susan was wonderful. She provided the help I needed in making my decisions.
Very nice. Employees were extremely helpful.
A great store, all employees are very friendly. I took an art class here and it was thoroughly enjoyable! I highly recommend this small and quaint store. I took the decorating envelopes class, instructions were clear, but loose enough we could get creative. Instructor Marisa was awesome. Great way to learn some new materials, this particular class revolved around alcohol-based pens that were blendable. Here are some of my creations.
Great selection and amazing staff
Great cards and gifts. I always get my desk calendars here. I really like browsing their selection and got a beautiful necklace and earring set last time I was in.
We got our wedding invitations printed here. I had my designed prepared on my own, but we were in desperate need of a professional printing service. We were recommended to visit Pennysmiths. My fiance and I visited with Amelie and we were greeted with great information, paper types and envelopes. Within less than a week, our invitations were printed on lovely paper with beautiful envelopes, plus our design was altered such that it would fit on the paper, thanks to the graphic design artist Amanda. Well definitely be back for Thank You cards and any other relevant projects in the future!
I love this place
The ladies at Pennysmiths Paper are truly amazing! Their hospitality and professionalism go a long way. Especially when a bride is anxious and overwhelmed, they assist her to ease that part of the process. They have an amazing selection and even help to figure out custom pieces for the brides that want other choices. The calligrapher there (Theresa) is out of this world with her artwork. You must go by and see them!
The place is amazing (merchandise wise). Cute and full of amazing items. I came here to get some ideas for my wedding stationary, but I was immediately turned off by the OWNER (whos name is Emily I believe) talking about her black employees (to other employees) and how she thought they were stealing from her. I felt uncomfortable the rest of the time I was there. If you can get over racism this place is for you. I hope the employees she was talking about are in a better place. Unfortunately I do not know any other stationary places in New Mexico, if you could let me know that would be stellar.
Compact but well merchandised stationery shop.
Good products😍
Always a great experience shopping here. The ladies have always been very pleasant. They have the most beautiful wrapping paper, year round but especially during the holidays. We always get our Christmas cards here. Lots of cute, funny, clever, and anything in between, gifts. Highly, highly recommend.
Love the ladies who work here. They printed and assembled my wedding invitations. Great assortment in stationery for all occasions. If you communicate thoroughly, they can order you certain things like clipboards, pens, ink stamps, paper, napkins...in your special color.
If you are looking for an ink pen, sealing wax, unusual toys, greeting cards, this is the place to come. If you like Crane stationary. They have it. If you want a classy printed invitation. They can do it. The women here know their paper. Great Christmas ornaments and gifts. Its worth checking out.
Oooooh, what a neat little shop! Its a go-to place for custom invitations and special stationery. The art of letter writing seems to have been a thing of the past, but this place brings it back to life! Great place to find a unique gift or greeting card.
The staff was informed, helpful, and pleasant.
A truly amazing place that is a hidden treasure for pen enthusiasts. Definitely would recommend stopping in if you enjoy stationeries and pens.
This beautiful shop and service gave me the best service Ive had for awhile. For my hand painted wedding invitations they took the time to care for them and took great consideration on what I wanted. I will recommend anyone needing invitations or stationary for any occasion to Pennysmiths Thank You
Great attentive customer service and nice selection of pens and stationary products.
Knowledgeable fountain pen staff (Sue!) Growing inventory of fine writing instruments. Unique gifts. THE place for high end invitations/paper goods.
I love Pennysmiths paper. I have been shopping here for years along with my mom. I recently ordered save the dates for my wedding from them, and I was so impressed with how many different styles and price points they offer for brides! Love to shop local!
There is a reason Pennysmiths Paper has been open for almost 35 years now! I love shopping here. There is always something new in the store, and lots of fun things to look at. The shop girls are always friendly and helpful. I have been ordering custom invitations from Pennysmiths for about thirty years now. They have created everything from my wedding invitations to invites to my daughters birthdays to my grandchilds birth announcement and just about every occasion in-between. This is a family business, and they have been a very important part of my family as well.
Nice atmosphere. Great stationary and accessories. Very helpful and knowledgeable employees.
Im not sure what I expect when I went to Pennysmiths Paper but it didnt really end up being whatever that was. I suppose I went there wanting to browse for high quality papers suitable for fountain pens and possibly scope out some pens as well. They have some of that stuff but there wasnt enough to quite tickle my fancy. That doesnt mean this place doesnt fit well in its actual niche - which I would say is probably more aimed at the wedding crowd or people who are decorating for parties, etc.The store has a very feminine air and I suppose I felt somewhat uncomfortable looking around. They did carry some Clairefontaine and Rhodia notepads and a few fountain pens but not really enough variety to keep me interested.The staff attempted to be friendly and kindly tried to search out things I might be interested in but there really just wasnt much in store that I would have purchased and if I did, it would have been cheaper online or at another store.I dont want to portray this place negatively because I think there is definitely a different crowd that would love it but it simply wasnt my kind of store.
I love this place, I have to keep myself from shopping here because its Soo cute!
Very nice products...great greeting cards.
Knowledgeable staff, great selection
I am a member of the Greigos community for five years and i enjoy the local shopping stores. Sadly, when I walk into Penny Smiths the clerks seems standoff towards me and my kids. At one time a lady followed me around the store and I felt so uncomfortable. Incidents such as these or the clerks being snobbish happened more than once. After today visits, I will no longer shop there.
They did a fabulous job with our wedding day invitations, communicating with us every step of the way. The finished product was exactly what we wanted!
Tons of cool stuff!
Great product selection, and attentive staff.
My favorite stationary and pen craft store in Albuquerque.
Love this place!
Always a pleasure
