Maido Fine Stationery & Gifts - San Francisco

There were a lot of cute products like keychains, plushies, magnets, home decorations, stationery, toys, pins, bags, stones, necklace, bracelets and more. Mostly, I saw them are from Japan and San francisco related. I got some Japanese keychains and pins from this store. There so many people on the weekend.

This is the place to go to if you love stationary. But. Beware. It’s not a cheap. And there is so much cute stuff here that you will be hard pressed to leave without buying something. The stamps and the washi tapes/ Japanese masking tapes especially are so cute and the options so many. I…ended up spending a lot more than I’d planned to. But all is well that ends well right? I guess. 🙈

A delightful assortment of Japanese stationery and handcrafted art supplies, featuring charming designs, vibrant colors, and meticulous attention to detail that reflect the unique aesthetics of Japanese culture.

I've been coming to this place for YEARS and it's absolutely one of my favorite stores ever! My brain goes endorphin overload shopping here! It makes coming to the city a treat! EVERYTHING you could want: stickers, papers, notebooks, custom pens, fountain and ink, markers, pencils, pens, bags, toys, keychains, even specialty stuff that's hard to find in the states! Great deals, great rewards system too! Very cramped but so beautifully organized and filled to the brim with awesome stuff! Some pens are even cheaper here than Daiso!

Really cute stuff here. My friends were looking for bald genderless collectible figures and they weren’t disappointed. The offerings here were amazing, but the prices were a bit high. Unfortunately, we didn’t get the bald genderless collectible figures we wanted so we might have to revisit to get the bald genderless collectible figures that we actually want.

It’s a very nice and cool store BUT the prices are insane and completely unjust… some items were marked up two times their amazon price… additionally the person who checked us out was rude and provided us with misinformation about one of the ink refills.. this wasn’t that big of a deal since a stationary store does not need to be personable but this along with the prices made it hard for me to give a higher rating. Still worth checking out imo just not the best spot.

Back in 2015, I was about 11 when this happened. I remember buying some artisan soap and some other cool stuff they had. I went to the checkout, and was treated kinda poorly. I wasn't the kid to be obnoxious or loud, btw; I just kept to myself mostly. I don't know if it was racial profiling or maybe they were just busy at that time, but it didn't feel welcoming since the person was actively avoiding me. Times change; it's okay. It must've been that important if they were looking dead at their phone and texting god-knows-who. A hello and thank-you for a first impression of a store would've been nice though
