Hello,

I have visited a lot of the malls but so far am yet to find a "WH Smith" type shop, basically i'm after pretty / high end stationary and things like scrap books, Photo Albums, cards, etc...

I have found places that do your everyday stuff, standard files, paper and pens and pencils but i'm really after something a bit nicer.

Is there anything similar to a Paperchase or W H Smiths in Abu Dhabi or is there anything online that i can get delivered?

Hope you can help

There is a Paper Chase at Mushrif Mall and a Hallmark at Wahda. I find them very expensive though. If I ever need a card, I actually buy it at Posters, which is next to Hallmark and much less expensive.

fyi: all the shops here are franchises, so they may have the same name, but they are not part of "that" group, so they will have different items, and different prices, and different customer service etc.... dont be fooled in thinking that each shop is the same same.

Have you tried borders? They have lots of stationary type things, notebooks and the like. I know we have a few here in Dubai, so I hope they will have one in Abu Dhabi? X
