About

Founded in 2012, we are a small young family business based in the heart of Lancashire, Northern England. All of us help run the business, even our 4 year old little Alfie wants to join in, although after 2 minutes he does get distracted and wants to play with everything!

How did we start?

Being affected by the last economic downturn, we took a risk and came up with a few ideas for paper products to help save people time and money, people loved them (phew). Under the Paper Things brand name, we designed and manufactured our very own unique planners and to do list notepads such as our own budget planner, caravan checklist, grocery shopping list organiser, travel planner and a few more. We have grown over the years and now have over 3000 different paper product lines and products that compliment paper. Our range includes paper products from popular well known brands to some of the more unique and unusual paper products from other less known designers and manufacturers worldwide.
