Wonder Fair is a woman-owned brick-and-mortar purveyor of all things ink- and paper-based, proudly serving Downtown Lawrence since 2008. More than an art supply store, gift store, or gallery, it offers an unmatched experience. The shop carries a wide range of art supplies and stationery, alongside original art prints and work from independent artists all over the world. This includes Japanese pens and notebooks, fountain pens, enamel pins, stickers, and everyday objects. The highly curated offering features niche oddities, fresh items, and stuff you never knew you needed, making it the best place to find gifts and a mandatory stop in Lawrence. The staff are wonderful, friendly, and have the best taste, always going above and beyond. The fun atmosphere includes local celebrity ‘Dave’, an icon and legend. There is also the novel experience of the Haunted Bathroom and a satellite store around the corner. With its incredible customer service and inspiring selection, it is a unique, one-stop shop and an unforgettable experience.
This store is 100% great...the staff...the selection...the service...what is not to like. Every time I go to this store - I get lost in time. It is almost like going into a store and the Vortex pulls you in and you are not able to leave.

There's a magic here, and it's not just Dave- the resident cat, there's curiosity and wonder in every nook.... all the way down to the penny tiled bathroom.

I love exploring this little gem in Lawrence! They always have the cutest stationary, cards, stickers, and more. Getting to see the resident cat, Dave, is a lovely bonus.
