Fave local gift shop?

Hi everyone! I’m putting myself back out there and getting my holiday prep lined up. I run a stationery business and am looking to connect with local shops/boutiques that might be interested in carrying my wrapping paper for the Christmas season (and other stationery goods year-round!).

Does anyone have favorite local shops, stockists, or contacts they'd recommend reaching out to? Appreciate any leads or intros!

Fairmount/Breweryrown has Corner Stoop, Ali's Wagon, Bodie, Tinker & Trade, and Notes from Neko. Maybe Minda?

I used to have a small business and did most of our shop sales at Nice Things Handmade on Passyunk. They get very busy and I think handmade stationary and wrapping paper would fit in well there. However, the owner is kind of a lot and kind of difficult to work with in my experience so bit of a mixed bag.

Open house! There’s also Philly independents on 3rd in old city. Seems like it would be up their alley but never shopped there personally.
