The Paper Tiger is a great little boutique card shop. It carries a very broad range of cards for all occasions, that feature an equally varied assortment of designs, from floral compositions to landscapes to the more humourously dirty.

The shop also carries craft-related books, blank journals, novelty stationary and other cool and unusual miscellany, as well as running a great giftwrapping service. While some of the cards can be a little pricey, the staff are very friendly and will be more than willing to assist in finding something suitable.

Looking for a gift? Paper Tiger is the place to visit. This “card shop” sells everything from witty cards, to fun books, crazy recycled products, odd travel necessities and more. I personally think it is the odds and ends that this store stocks that makes it unique. It is worth a visit.

Although not as large as the other Paper Tiger store in Edinburgh, this one still has a great range of unusual, quirky stationary that you really won't find anywhere else. Their greetings cards and giftwrap are a particular strongpoint, and staff are always friendly and will help you find exactly what you need. It's also really close to Princes Street, so you can easily fit a visit into a larger shopping trip.
