What People Are Saying About Pulp Cards & Paper

The Editor

Citysearch

In Short – This South La Brea store highlights funky gifts, offbeat office supplies and cards for every imaginable human activity, while also devoting attention to gift-wrapping necessities like paper, boxes and ribbons. The assortment of greeting cards, most of which defy Hallmark appearance and sentiment, make it clear that this shop goes against the emotional grain. Quirky gifts like "walking, sparking NunZilla" wind-up toys stand shoulder-to-shoulder with enticing journals, day planners, parchment, stickers, calendars and invitations.

on your cell phone, they should have just asked you to leave

by rsrorie at Citysearch

just stay off your cell phone...you are the kind of person that doesn't need to be in the store anyway and by the way they don't need your business. A bit self important aren't you?

Pros: they have a wonderful helpful staff that promotes a quality atmosphere

Best card shop in town!

by neal205 at Citysearch

Rising far above all the card shops I?ve ever been to is Pulp. Here?s three reasons why you should run, don?t walk, but run to this cool shop: (1) The card walls are lined with hilarious, original cards for all occasions that really make you laugh out loud. I mean, some really funny cards. I also bought holiday gifts this year for my entire office staff ? really cool stuff that was reasonable priced. (2) It ain?t in a mall, kids. It?s on the street with parking in the rear; no damn parking structure to deal with. (3) Not sure how they keep their staff happy but boy-o- boy are they nice and helpful. I bought a really funny card about a week ago. It was so funny that a friend asked me to pick one up for him. I went back to Pulp and of course, that card was sold out - they continually put out new cards, it?s why I go there so often ? but at the register I told the cashier my story. He actually went into the back and found the one remaining card I had originally come in for. Oh, and I?m guilty of going to Pulp almost every Saturday morning. I don?t always buy something - I go just so I can get a good laugh.

knowledgable and friendly staff, unique selection

by cactus888 at Citysearch

This store is an absolute treat. The selection is, unequivocally, the best in town. It's that rare place I can always go if I find something unique online, but don't want to wait for shipping. They carry merchandise from local artists; a HUGE plus.

Oh, and the music is INCREDIBLE. Do these people DJ? Every time I go in there I find myself asking an employee what song just played.

Also, I was in there the other day and happened to hear one of the sales clerks tell a customer, in an affable manner, that it wasn't very nice to be on a cell phone while checking out. AMEN! I mean, can't the phone call wait two minutes? Is it too much to give a bit of your attention to the human being STANDING DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF YOU? Nice to know good taste AND good manners still exist in Los Angeles.
