Skiving Street is a bit of a south side gem, and seems to contain nearly all the best shops in the area. Paper Plane is one of them, especially if you’re looking for a gift(for yourself, or someone else). There’s nice crafting kits, as well as lots of things for kids. A nice range of mugs, jewellery, wedding stationery, books, artwork, candles — typical gift shop supplies. There isn’t much that falls into the realm of «tat» which is always a good sign. They had on display a Lisa Donati(formerly Psychopants) tea towel — «You will always find me in the kitchen at parties» which always makes me giggle, so obviously they’re stocking local artists which is great to see. I’d recommend you spend a day of your weekend heading to check out some of the delights of Skirving Street and make sure that you leave plenty of time for a nosey around here! As Jennie H mentioned, it probably is on the pricier side but it’s worth a look all the same.

A nice wee card and gift shop with a wide range of things — mugs, soap, candles, jewellery, toys — a real mix of stuff. A lot of it is a wee bit expensive for me I have bought a few unusual presents for people here. They also do a good range of cards and I use it a lot for that. They stock some nice local things — I have a Shawlands mug I bought here and one year they did Xmas cards by a local artist showing people shopping on Skirving Street in the snow. It’s one of the shops that helps make Skirving Street such an interesting place to shop.
