I miss the days when stores like Neiman Marcus carried large stationery selections; now there seems to be Papyrus and Hallmark. Both are fun but neither satisfies my large and specific demands.
I've found that the Internet is a great place to shop for paper products.
My favorites are Felix Doolittle and FineStationery.com. I have gorgeous address labels from Felix Doolittle. What talent! Intricate, gorgeous watercolors of Boston and Cape Cod scenes... Piles of books, pretty birds, fox hunting, baby scenes, gardens... I have about four different address labels for my different uses: Christmas, the family, baby thank you cards, just me! It's so much fun to have these lovely pictures. I also ordered table numbers for our wedding but didn't end up using them. If you give home-made treats as Christmas presents, you might want to spring for the personalized labels. I adore them and will use them next winter--too busy with baby this year! And my favorites are the mommy/baby playdate cards. So sweet!
I order elegant business cards from Fine Stationery. I also have ordered invitations from Fine Stationery. When my order wasn't going to be ready in time, they found me a similar pattern, did the layout, and then overnighted me the new invite at no charge. It was great. Boatman Geller is fun and William Arthur has the best wedding invitations (because that is who I used!).
I once ordered monogrammed stationery from American Stationery through Neiman Marcus. I just came across their website and it looks as though they have great materials. I didn't really like my stationery--the monogram was huge--but live and learn. I saw a few patterns that I can really imagine ordering as gifts.
