Magna Carta

Cute little shop. There are so many cards to choose from, you’re going to want to make excuses to buy them. The cutest are the one with watercolor art by Two Bad Mice Productions. I will be back next time I’m in town!

This is a great little card/​gift shop and I always manage to find something nice to purchase here. Great selection of unusual cards and gift ware. I have been in here several times and find the staff to not as warm and friendly as I’d expect.

Great selection of cards which I needed, a delightful lady at the counter and I just wish I had more time to shop. I got what I needed and a couple of extras. My friends loved these unique thank you notes. And. the best part… when I couldn’t remember the name or location of this store, someone from another store helped me find it! Now that’s community.

Cool stuff. The service, ha service, is shocking. The woman working there could not be bothered to answer simple questions and spent the whole time we were in there stomping around the hardwood floors in her cowboy boots. After multiple attempts to purchase something, we were so frustrated by her attitude we left. Nice stuff, but don’t go in there expecting to get a typical warm Chico welcome and excellent service (as you will receive in most Chico businesses).

Step inside the Magna Carta and view the wide selection of stationary and gifts that are available. From daily planners, to items for the jet-​set traveler, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for. Purses, wallets, and portfolios in fine leather may be purchased here.
Janet Baker, is very helpful and friendly. When I went in she was happy to show me around and suggest wonderful gifts and cards for my friends. We had a lovely talk about traveling because she offers many accessories like passport holders and briefcases.
I would recommend this place for anyone looking for fine gifts and cards.

Such beautiful gifts, a little pricey but worth the quality of the items. It’s nestled in such a cute little corner of town, you have to stop in just for the richness of the store.
Unique Gifts!

One of my favorite stationers when I come to Chico. Not sure if they’re the only stationery store but regardless, great choice of gifts and cards. On the pricey side but their store is comparable to that of the high end stationers. Great customer service. You all need to support your local businesses and this is a great one to frequent.

Magna Carta is truly one of my favorite stores. Everytime I am downtown I stop in and purchase cards, because I still believe in handwritten thank you notes, love letters, birthday cards and invitations. They carry such a great variety of cards, and a lot of other fun items.

During our visit to my hubby’s hometown we stopped in and bought gorgeous sheets of gift wrap paper, a few cards and postcards of Duffy’s Tavern. They sell cards decorated by local artists and they have some cute purses/​bags as well that I was tempted to buy. You’ll find clever, unique cards here for major holidays as well as blank cards.

There’s no better place to buy a card than Magna Carta. It’s FAR better than all of the major chain options like a Hallmark, Target, etc. There’s just enough of a selection in this little shop to find a unique card, stationary, pen, journal or similar paper-​product but it’s not so big that it’s a pain to sort through a billion choices. My wife and sister love this place! I’m not a big shopper, but I’m entertained by the humorous cards long enough to enjoy the visit.

Magna Carta has a unique selection of cards and stationery for any occasion. They also have travel accessories, journals and jewelry. The layout of the store is very attractive and welcoming.
The one minor thing I would change about this store is that the woman who runs it always looks at me as if I’m about to steal something or ruin her displays, even though I’ve been in there many times and bought tons of cards and other things. She seems like she might actually be nice, she just shouldn’t glare at the customers.
The store itself makes me overlook this, though, and I’d still highly recommend it for birthday or special occasion cards. They also have really cute seasonal things, like Valentine’s Day or Christmas cards.
