The Paper Store

The Paper Store is the largest family owned and operated chain of specialty gift stores in New England. Our goal is to be the premier destination for all of your gift-giving needs.

Our business began in 1964 when Bob and Peggy Anderson purchased the first store in Maynard, Massachusetts. Originally a stationery store, The Paper Store has evolved into a sophisticated and diverse operation. In addition to social stationery and custom invitations, you can now shop for gifts, social expressions, fashion & jewelry, bath & body, home décor, baby fashion & gifts, educational toys & games, gourmet foods, bestselling books for all ages, and so much more! As you walk through the spacious aisles of The Paper Store, you’ll find new and unique offerings for everyone on your gift list (and at least one irresistible item for yourself). In 2013, we opened our online store to bring the same exciting selection and personal customer service into your home.

Currently, seven family members – as well as a myriad of spouses, cousins and friends – all work together to analyze retail trends and bring you thousands of high-value items from the world’s finest brands. Our stores are staffed with well-trained Associates and Specialists who are happy to help customers find the perfect gift or answer questions. A group of very talented people work to make the atmosphere in our stores beautiful, organized and a pleasure to shop in. We are aiming high – to be your favorite place to shop.

The Paper Store is happy to give back to the community and proudly supports The Jimmy Fund, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Reach Out and Read, and various local charities.
