Say you roll a 2, 3, 4, 4, 6. You decide to go for a small straight. That’s 30 points if you get it. The next person rolls 1, 3, 3, 3, 5 and… how do you keep track of all that in a fast-moving game of Yahtzee? On a pad of paper, of course. And there’s no reason it shouldn’t be stylish. At The Quill, you can get note pads with lines or without. There are artisanal greeting cards, journals and sketchbooks (good if you play Pictionary), as well as fancy pens, leather goods, jewelry – there’s too much to list. Let’s just say The Quill is, as the readers point out, the consummate gift shop for someone discerning.
