Stationery Store Day

 

Stationery Store Day 2025 

Saturday, August 2nd, 2025

Stationery Store Day began humbly on the first Saturday in August 2022, led by Kristina Burkey of Calliope Paper in Natick, Massachusettes. The inspiration was born from the idea of bringing all these wonderful paper and stationery shops across the country together for a day of celebration. 

This year, we'll be celebrating several ways!

For all 3 Shorthand locations - The first 20 customers at each of our locations will get a special edition SSD X Suzy Ultman tote bag with awesome swag from our favorite vendors. We'll hand out numbers for the first 20 customers in line, so you can shop in peace and still receive our awesome goody bag. 

We'll also have exclusive Stationery Store Day Merch for sale. Keep an eye our for the extra special Suzy Ultman x Shorthand Press Standard Notebook! 

At our LA Shorthand locations - Join us for the Stationery Store Day Tour with 15 total stores around Los Angeles participating. Stop into any of the 15 locations to pick up a passport, and then visit each store to collect stamps along the way.

At your final stop, turn in your completed passport stub and get entered to win an array of amazing goodies. Participants will be eligible for a prize based on the number of stores visited: 

Admirer Prize - at least 5 stores visited
Connoisseur Prize - at least 10 stores visited
Enthusiast Prize - all 15 stores visited

You can pick up your passport and begin collecting stamps as early as Wednesday, July 30th. Passports are due to be turned in by Sunday, August 3rd. Check with each store to verify the hours they are open as you plan your route!

We look forward to celebrating Stationery Store Day with you all!
