On the tenth day of Christmas, I gave my love scrumptious scents If you have a cologne connoisseur or a perfume enthusiast on your list, the fully stocked On Paper apothecary is the place to shop. Not only do we have a range of scents and price points, but we genuinely love fragrance (second only to paper), and would love to help you pick just the right one.

Made on Capri from a formula originally developed in the 1300s, these fragrances are timeless and sophisticated. Fiori di Capri was popularized by none other than Jackie O....
On the ninth day of Christmas, I gave my love Pinterest-worthy hand lettering and calligraphy supplies If your Pinterest feed looks anything like ours, it’s chockfull of hand lettering tutorials, projects, and tips. And while calligraphy has always been a part of our custom service (have you seen our logo?), we’re so happy to see so many embracing and appreciating the craft. Traditional calligraphy uses a nib and dipping ink, and features thick downward strokes and thinner upward strokes. If you have an aspiring calligrapher in your midst, we recommend getting a set that includes multiple nibs allowing him or her to practice a variety of styles. One of our very favorite options includes five Brause nibs, violet J. Herbin...

On the fifth day of Christmas Dad gave Mom chalcedony, moonstone, and labradorite What can we say, he has excellent taste! On Paper’s jewelry selection is carefully curated to include both stunning statement and dainty everyday pieces. Our favorite this season is the multi-strand and ethereal combinations of chalcedony, moonstone, and labradorite. Despite an abundance of stones and oxidized silver, the softness of the palette makes these pieces wearable and pairable. Chalcedony, moonstone, and labradorite, oh my! Pretty polished stones for days A fixture and favorite of the On Paper jewelry case is a botanically-inspired line that features perennial favorites like gingko, fern, babies breath and sunflower, and seasonally appropriate flora like rosemary in patinated bronze and gold leaf.
