G Whiz has a great selection of party supplies and paper goods. They don't have the quantity that a place like Party City does, but the quality is there. Very fitting for the location, I think. I bought fireworks there. Just the little legal kind like sparklers, but they came in really neat party packs that had snap caps and some other childhood favorites. The kids loved them. But they had a very nicely set 4th of July table on display i the front that I wish I had seen earlier. I would have copied it for my party. Also, the staff is super nice and helpful.

On October 15, 2010 G Whiz Party & Papery will celebrate its 16th with their anniversary sale. After 14 years of being in Pacific Beach, G Whiz made its way to this La Jolla location and the business continues to be the go-to source for party decorations, balloons, greeting cards and holiday.

La Jolla native and owner, Nicole Gerle attended Bird Rock Elementary and La Jolla High School making her already a familiar face around the community. Her fun personality matches the welcoming atmosphere of her store, creating a pleasant experience for her customers.

Aside from the various party supplies she offers, she also does gift wrapping and custom imprints on napkins for weddings, birthdays or whatever the occasion may call for. Typically, this can be done within a 24-hour period.

Nicole gives back to her community by donating to local public schools and sponsors UCSD Moores Cancer Center. Her business also sets up stations at the local annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in November.

The store is filled with everything necessary for your next party or themed event. By being closed only four holidays out of the year, G Whiz Party & Papery works hard to maintain the best for its customers and should look forward to celebrating many more anniversaries in the future.

G Whiz is located in the Bird Rock area of La Jolla. You will find balloons for all occasions, greeting cards, plates, napkins, tablecloths, place cards, decor, confetti, candles, novelties and gift items. Each season brings new and better decorations. G Whiz owner, Nicole, is known for going above and beyond and will deliver balloons and supplies for school events and parties.

G Whiz has everything you need for your party including cups, plates, and bowls. It also has a wide selection of cards and plenty of holiday decorations. I bought some really nice gift wrap there that is way better than the thin stuff that you can buy at drug stores.‎

I know I can buy gift wrap and decorations at drug and discount stores but I keep coming back to G Whiz because of the personalized service. I can't remember the girl's name who owns it but she runs it herself and it's actually fun to ...
