Best quirky gift shop in Charlotte. Wonderful mix of hand crafted and commercial merchandise, and everything has an edge. Best greeting card selection in NC, though they separate cards into different displays throughout the store which is annoying. The place to go for irreverent cards, in particular, but not limited to that. Wonderful, though smallish, selection of books. Owners - and their dog - are always around and can answer any questions. They do their own buying and they have a wonderful eye for smart, urbane, trendy, humorous, and thoughtful items. Nothing kitchy, everything clever. Limited parking and turning into the tiny strip mall can be a challenge... Avoid going during rush hour.

This is my "go-to" store when I need to buy a gift, and Ive never been disappointed. I love the variety and quality of what is sold here. I also shop here for occasional small indulgences for myself (candles, irreverent socks, etc.). A good selection of notebooks and other paper goods (as would be expected, given the name). Friendly staff. A great spot to check out if you love paper stores (and this store is MUCH more than that, youll see).

Great selection of fun gifts, candles, lotions, house items, games, toys, books and cards. This is one of my favorite shopping places for birthdays and holiday gifts, and I always find stuff I want! Local and architectural book selection is really impressive for a select inventory. Modern and fun. The owners and staff are friendly and helpful. I always leave smelling nice too!

This is the kind of local business Id support by paying a few bucks more than Amazon, but surprisingly, its super competitive, if not cheaper. Bar accessories, kids toys and books, local made products, and more. I could spend hours just looking at all the unique items. Its like a classy version of Spencers Gifts.

This is a great place to shop for those special gifts and cards. Theres much more stock in here than youd think and its easy to burn thirty minutes looking around. They have interesting and unusual greeting cards and a very wide range of gifts from books and candles to housewares and kitchen items.

To be honest, the food is OK and overpriced. I think you really pay for the setting and trendy feel. As a place that meant for tea and brunch, you would think they have better selection but I found the menu, especially dessert menu, very limited. I tried it once but I dont think we will be back.

Definitely one of the best locally owned specialty gift shops, home store in Charlotte. You cannot go into this store without finding at least one item you will want to purchase either for yourself or as a gift. Always clean, great staff and simply an awesome experience.

Just an absolute fun store to visit! If you are looking for fun home items, trendy books, an awesome hot tea or bar set/tools, or that next pair of funky socks, this place is a must stop. Prices are modest for what you are getting, some of which is local.

This store has really unique gifts and knickknacks for around the house. I love going here for birthday cards and when I cant think of a gift for someone. The staff are friendly, and the prices are decent. I like supporting local businesses like this.

They have unique gifts at angry affordable price. Lots of stuff but well organized. I was looking for postcards and the were a lot to choose from. Limited parking and there is off street parking that meets customers needs. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect place to snag a gift for friends and family! Great selection of home goods, local artists work, cards for all occasions, and a menagerie of other things. Ideal if youre not sure what to buy someone or want something awesome for yourself.

Jordan Glendenning

Not the place I was expecting, having been told it was a bookshop. Whilst they do sell books, its hardly the focus. What you should go for is their eclectic collection of keepsakes and gifts, gag and ordinary, for family and friends.

Tracie J. Taylor

Their selection of random quirky things is absolutely amazing! ! ! I find myself in there every couple of months, looking for nothing in particular and finding everything that I didnt know I needed! You have to go see for yourself!

Danielle Miller

Fun, unique gifts! I get all my cards for every occasion here! Also the owners are sweet, the staff is friendly and helpful and they have the cutest greeter ever (their labradoodle)! Love this place!

Fantastic gift and card shop in the heart of Dilworth. Paper Skyscraper offers home goods, books, and beautiful letterpress cards. A great place to peruse if youre lost for gift ideas.

Sporadic Walker

Cool place for candles, trinkets, books, and gift ideas. One can easily spend an hour here. Some items are pricey, but perfect gifts for creative and inquisitive individuals.

There isnt a better place to buy cards and gifts in Charlotte. They have a great staff that is always helpful when you have "gift" block and cant figure out what to get.

Todd Scarbrough

Eclectic mix of of items (candles, wine glasses, puzzles, paper goods, small gifts, socks, artwork, etc.) and books for sale with very good customer service.

Poetic Diva

Friendly staff, eclectic variety of items. Many old school toys and games from my youth and lots of new discoveries. I found some really great things here.

Dustin Logan

Always a great stop when shopping for that perfect gift. A great selection of books, kitchenwares, household items, stationary, toys and other great gifts.

Stephen Wenck

Always so many unique gift ideas here. I always find something for myself or as a gift every time I visit. There are a lot of Charlotte themed giufts too.

Alex Via

This is a cool local spot with unique books and gifts. It reminds me of a much classier Spencers from the mall. Theres also a dog there, so thats cool.

Shannon McCauley

Such a great local shop to pick up a gift for anyone, literally ANYONE. Or you know, yourself. ;) So many unique items to browse. Love this place!

Really great place for quirky gifts. Some products can be offensive but I think thats there purpose? I dont know. I enjoy perusing.

Dominic Birckbichler

Best spot to hit before a birthday party. Get everything you could imagine for the perfect gift and maybe something for yourself.

A great place to find that unique gift (or card) for every individual. Step up your gift giving at Paper Skyscraper.
