About the Scratch Pad
Our Story
In 1976, The Scratch Pad was introduced to Mount Pleasant, SC with a new twist on a very traditional service – a stationery shop. Color, fun, whimsy and purpose brought life to our cozy boutique, with stationery for the family, individuals and businesses; invitations for all events and all ages; and paper table settings for spectacular parties.
Today, we still focus on service, and our fresh, inspiring ideas are on display every day. Our creativity is our most magnificent distinction, and we are inspired by the overwhelming delight our customers share as they browse our store. Whether a first-time patron or a loyal regular, each visit brings a new experience – wide-eyed and oh, so giddy. It's like being a kid in a candy store.
Helping all our customers achieve their goals is both stimulating and gratifying to our team of experts; but your return, time and again, for stationery, party supplies and gifts, as well as our guidance, is our greatest reward. We pride ourselves in offering each and every customer the assistance and guidance needed and deserved – no matter how modest or extravagant the project. We are your resource for etiquette expertise, so you can feel confident your event will be a showcase of you – the perfect host or hostess.

What Our Customers Are Saying
"The Scratch Pad has become a part of my favorite places to stop in Mt. Pleasant. All the years I have been coming, I believe has a lot do with the inviting atmosphere and the warmth and friendliness of the girls who work there. There are not enough words to describe the variety and the most up-to-date items. I have been known to spend a couple of hours dividing my time with the stationery and cards, to the home decorating room that is awesome, to the comfortable area to sit and order return labels, name cards, announcements and seasonal cards. Their monogrammed stationery and napkins make wonderful gifts and they make sure they are ready at your convenience and are done with perfection.
The owners and the girls are so talented and willing to share their creative ideas and suggestions. I call the Scratch Pad my 'Happy Place'." - Emily
“As a guy who often struggles to find nice, thoughtful, and different gifts for my wife after 20 years of marriage, walking in The Scratch Pad for the first time was a very pleasant surprise. They have all sorts of stationery and other items which are appropriate for many of life’s occasions. Furthermore, I am impressed by how courteous their staff was in guiding me, a man who admittedly “lacks social grace”, to find that perfect gift. When I found out they also could develop and custom print invitations, The Scratch Pad significantly helped me upgrade the level of professionalism in all of my business correspondence.” - Nathan
