Shopping at Wonder Fair is such a treat every time! The stock is carefully curated and so fun. Fair warning, it is nearly impossible to window shop here- you will always want to walk out with something! 5 stars for sure, cant wait to visit their haunted bathroom again someday!
You walk in to the store and you feel Aaww!Awesome products, friendly people. Well structured and quality offerings.Some things could be pricy for the value.
I was in this store today and they come off as dismissive. I indicated I needed assistance with the fountain pens and hung around the case where they were and was completely ignored. I will not visit this establishment in future as they obviously don’t want or need to sell to me. I know covid is a challenge but I evidently didn’t lather up quick enough when I came in the door so they made sure to incur their displeasure with my slowness. It’s not as if I touched anything before I lathered up either.
This store has the most AMAZING selection of pens! It is full of personality and activism too. As a Bullet Journalist and aspiring hand-lettering artist, I cannot stay away from this great little shop!!!
They stock some of the best pens, pencils and most importantly ink. I often go in for some ink and leave with another pen or journal because the staff is so nice.
I love this store!! Amazing variety of stationery and the staff is so friendly. Can’t forget about Dave (store cat)- he’s so adorable.
A beautiful space curated with love! This store is truly one of a kind. A must stop if you are in Lawrence. From art supplies to gifts you can find anything you need to indulge your Creative side.
Amazing stop for artists! Gift ideas galore for friends and family. Very cute products from Japan, Journals for any purpose, and a big chonky cat who loves everyone! Employers were sweet and very helpful. Honestly a place you just have to visit when in Lawrence.
Lovely people, so kind and helpful. Love the cat too. The place definitely has a very cozy feel to it.
Artists dream store, a beautiful location and a friendly, helpful staff especially Dave the cat.Due to Covid the haunted bathroom was closed.Their selection was impressive and I found things new to me and hard to find elsewhere, also their in house stickers and merch was fantastic.
Its like a dream candy store for those who love paper and writing instruments
This place!! Art supplies, fancy pens, stationery, books, gifts, stamps, stickers, local and not so local art. Go there. Buy things. Support this business, because if you dont, all the things you cherish are in peril and the capitalists win.
Its a fun little artistic shop. Majority of products are from Japan. Has all types of bells and whistles for artists. Employees are friendly and are willing to help with anything.
Cute stationary, art, stickers, and politically woke stuff! i love dave the cat. he’s very cute and friendly. nice employees as well.
I had the most wonderful woman help me out today. She was extremely patient and helpful. This is the second time I have purchased from Wonderfair and my first experience was great as well. I will definitely be coming back.
The orange cat is named Dave. The bathroom is actually haunted. Theres a large collection of pens, notebooks, and ESPECIALLY stickers. Art students dream.
With knowledgeable staff, great selection, and decent prices, Wonder Fair is awesome for plenty of creative hobbies. The only downside is parking, but thats true for all of Mass Street.
Such a fun store! Lots of stationary, art, cards, and so much more. I always thoroughly enjoy my time in this shop, regardless of if I buy anything. The staff is always engaging and helpful. One of the best shops downtown.
Fabulous find for art lovers & all things drawing, stationary & nifty-giftys. If you care about your type of pencils, lead & paper, this is your place & these are your people. Whimsy & fun with inspired displays. Easy to get transported to creativity land for an hour, just looking around. Great fun!
The staff is wonderful and I love their selection of pens and stickers. Dont forget to visit the Haunted Bathroom!
The best place in town to get art supplies. Its my go-to shop for print making supplies. Their prices are fair and their product quality is impressive. Worth going in just to see Dave!
As far as stationery shops go, this is truthfully one of the best in the KC/Lawrence/Topeka metro areas. Very well stocked with high quality items.Plus, they have Dave the shop cat, and a haunted bathroom. What more could you want?
This is one of my favorite places in Lawrence. I love browsing and can always count on finding interesting items. Go here. You will like it.
One of my favorite shops in Lawrence. Lots of high quality journals, pens, various art supplies. Its the type of hand-curated shop that stocks items youve never seen anywhere else and never knew you needed until you saw it. Also, check out the haunted bathroom.
This is amazing space for people that enjoy the old school way of things... In the sense of writing on paper. Their collection of pens and sketchbook, notebooks, and planners are my favorite. Plus the collections of zines and local art in the back is always a plus. The in house cat is also a cutie... Dont let him out.
I love this place. What a wonderful store with lots of items to choose from. Helpful and friendly staff.
Friendly staff and they always have something new there. whenever I want to order art supplies I check there and their online store first.
The atmosphere and collection of products being sold are so unique and lovely. This place is a writers/readers/artist/stationary enthusiasts paradise. Plus, theres a cat. What more could you want.
There are lots of cute things, novelty pens and stickers/stationary items. They have a very sweet cat.
One of my favorite stores in all of Lawrence. Excellent card and paper good selection as well as funky and amazing finds. Ive found some truly beautiful prints and art pieces here too. Bring your money! Youre going to want to spend it all.
Best place in KC to buy local art and art supplies! The cat is cute too. 10/10 would pet again!
Its so cute and they have an excellent selection of supplies and work from local artists.
Just found a new favorite store! A dazzling collection of pens, pencils, notebooks, planners, stickers, collector pins, cards, prints, etc. Everything you need to bring color and joy into your life! (super nice people at the desk, too!)
The nicest employee helped me today, and wasnt even phased by my inquisitive toddler or crying infant. She was so helpful and gifted my 2 year old with a sticker at checkout . I love the assortment of stationary items, journals, and high quality pens. Perfect for artists or doodlers!
It was a unique experience. But several gifts for Christmas. People were very nice.
One of my favorite shops on Mass. Always like to stop by to give my creative self a chance to wander.
Whimsy, wonderfully creative store. Like Target for artists....you will leave with something.
An astonishing assortment of art supplies from all over the world. Pens, pencils, paper, notebooks, sketchbooks, posters, pennants, pins, paints...the list just goes on and on. And the starter/gift boxes in the back? Pure GENIUS! Definitely eschews the standard arrogance of a standard art supply store.Plus, they have Dave the cat.
A little gem of a stationery store. Anything you need or can imagine in the world of stationery is probably here. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about all things stationery. Well worth driving to get to and visit.
Amazing selection of paper, pen, calendars and lots of misc goodies. Excellent customer service. Fluffy kitty to pet. You will want it all.
Every time i go in i get lost in all the super cool art stuff here.I need to setup a direct deposit from work to Wonderfair! ha
Dave, the store cat, is the best. But this store also has great products! I love my pens from here.
Fun store, the curated gift collection wall in the back is a genius idea. Great selection for gift ideas. Check it out, one of the best shops on Mass St.
We needed a specific gel pen and they were able to order them. Super excited today
I always enjoy a trip to Wonder Fair. They have an excellent selection of pens and pencils upstairs and notebooks downstairs. The staff are friendly and helpful. And the prices are reasonable.
I love everything about this place. Every time I go back I am inspired by something new, pens, stationary, cards, self improvement journals and local artworks! Give yourself time to get lost.
Awesome shop. Super cool notebooks. Great to see how this place has grown over time. The midwest needs more shops like this! Make sure to check out their button selection and cool limited editions by local artists!
The staff is helpful, the bathroom is haunted. What more could you ask for?
Such a fun eclectic shop! So many stationary supplies, as well as books, journals, enamel pins, patches, and stickers. In the back room they also have a beautiful selection of local art for sale. Definitely also say hi to the shop kitty Dave, if he decides to bless you with his presence.
Charming gift shop and place to inspire creative wonder. You can purchase supplies here too for journaling and other paper arts and crafts. Some Lawrence inspired gifts and other prints to frame. Even find postcards here!!! They are modern ones, not your local truck stop flair. Just go check it out, my words dont do it justice.
Wonderful store! Very helpful staff! A planner and journaling heaven. It was my first time here and I’ll be back!
Fun to look at even if you cant/ dont want to buy anything
Great little place with very unique items
My favorite place in Lawrence, tied with Love Garden.
Many thanks to Rachel for helping us out, when we accidentally left our item at a store across the street. She got it and mailed it for us right away!! Wonder Fair is a beautiful boutique with anything you could want as a lover of stationery, journals, pens, whatever. Awesome service!!
Great selection for art needs, and unique gift items!
Great place for stationary and other cool items. Definitely fits the Lawrence vibe.
Fun stuff with a nice cat in residence. Got some great stuff, lots of very high quality stationary.
Love this place. Very great selection of art supplies, fountain pens, and stationary. Great prices for a local shop too, most items are same prices as you can find online, some a bit more expensive and in rare cases even cheaper. Really enjoyed the workshop I attended here as well, hope to attend another in the future.
We love Wonder Fair for their lettering and painting supplies, as well as the fun selection of stickers, etc.
Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend to any and all creative people looking for supplies that stand out.
This place is SO LEGIT. Meredith is a stellar service provider with staggering product knowledge. Their writing pencil offerings are TOP SHELF! I was wildly impressed with the range of very fine manual sharpeners (German and Japaneee steel!!) and ink pens. I asked for a specific item which they did not have and they gladly ordered it. It arrived promptly and I purchased extra items when I went to collect it. This place gives the kind of focused, friendly, and passionately informed customer service that is of a bygone era. Thank you for your very hard work and meticulous attention to detail.
Part gallery, part store Wonder Fair is exactly what its name suggests. Come to stock up on supplies, stay to read the zines, and come back for the rotation of arts and crafts in the back. Also, looking for a gift for someone hard to buy for? They regularly put together sets and kits of stuff that anyone who knows how to write, or is learning to, will love.
Helpful staff- great place to pick up stationary, pins, and patches
This is a good place to wonder into and spend 15 or 20 minutes looking around. Its a quirky store with t-shirts, cards, little hand drawn art books and similar stuff. They also have a wide variety of art supplies that seem slightly expensive to me, but I dont know a lot about good quality supplies. They also feature art from local artists which is always interesting.
I must visit the shop every time were in Lawrence. The staff is super friendly and funny, and theres always new stuff to peruse. Shirts, stationery, gifts, art, books, pins... so much to want to take home! The inspiration, humor, creativity, and good vibes of the shop epitomize Lawrence memories for me. Keep up the good work, folks.
Some of the art supplies are on the pricier side but thats to be expected downtown. That being said, I love this shop! It has a great selection of unique gifts, plus I dig the local flavor!
The coolest place. Was in Lawerence for my brothers state competition and we had a couple hours so, being the stationary fanatic I am, saw this and had to go. So cool and I could spend hours in there. The only bad part was that I dont live closer.
Any store that sells a rug that rants on how great a system socialism is....that store is a joke. Using capitalism to promote socialism. Hypocrites. They also painted a naked woman on their window in the busiest part of town, and Im talking like a crude painting, so you know theyre keeping it classy. Honestly its a stain on Mass Street.
This place is awesome! It has some unique art, stationary, and pens! There are also lots of cute the stickers. The staff is very friendly and I would definitely recommend to stop by this shop sometime!
This place is absolutely incredible! You can get amazing local art and zines. You can get awesome art supplies of all kinds. You can also just soak up the warm and bright atmosphere of the place : )
One of my favorite stores in all of Lawrence. Super cute notebooks and art supplies, with cool buttons/patches/stickers and posters. Supportive of social justice with kind and thoughtful employees, I buy all of my school supplies and greeting cards here!
Overall great assortm.ent of items at a reasonable price. If youre more liberal leaning this place has some great books and bumper stickers for you, amoung other things. The assortment of art and office supplies is astounding say the least. They have basically any notebook, pen (including fountain pens), pencil, or any other mark making instrument your heart may desire. Check it out, you wont regret it!
One of my favorite stores in Lawrence.
So happy I dont live in Lawrence, or Id be broke from shopping here. I love pen/paper stores and this place has all the pen/papers you could ever want. Such a cute layout, unique items and a fun atmosphere. Also wow the zine selection here blew my mind. Cute art gallery in the back is the cherry on top of this local store.
Love wonder fair!! always such a chill environment, with such cool finds
Great staff and very helpful. They helped me find the perfect pen and paper.
Love the stickers and zines. The staff is amazing
This is the cutest stationery shop Ive ever seen! Tons of notebooks, pens, brush pens, pencils, and even stickers. The art gallery has awesome prints and zines. This is definitely my favorite store on Mass St!
Everything in this store was very thoughtfully selected. This place is amazing!
Awesome office supply store. They always seem to have what I am looking for when it comes to pens.
The most wonderful store in Kansas.
Cool post cards! Gotta check out the haunted bathroom in there..
My favorite shop in Lawrence! ️
Such a nice store! Lots of art supplies and stationary, along with cute stickers, patches, and keychains to get as well! In the back there is really nice art too!
Get you fancy pens and notebooks journal here.
I normally would be here to write good things. Unfortunately this time I am not. I would like to say that, I went 2 days ago and the employee was TERRIBLE! She accused my friend and I of stealing, and said to look up our SLEEVE! I understand that asking for somebody’s large bag, to hold is a safety precaution...but demanding someone to PULL UP THERE JACKET SLEEVE is just a EXTREMELY uncomfortable situation to be in! Neither I or my friend felt in any way comfortable in that situation, and were disgusted at the way we were being treated. It is very embarrassing to be accused of stealing in front of everybody (which we were NOT) by a yelling store employee. I love wonderfairs art supplies (although extremely expensive), but it is such a shame people must act like that. I would be more comfortable if that had scanners at the entrance so you would know if someone’s stealing, not looking UP SOMEONES SHIRT! Definitely not going there anytime in the near future.
Wonderful place to be in community and shop for all the art, paper, and office things!
So many cute little knickknacks, and the employees were so sweet and friendly. I got to meet Dave!
Good selection and prices. Lots of local artist items for sale alongside bigger brand stationery items.
Very cute store, dedicated to stationery, art, and art supplies. A delight every time I walk in!
An inspiring atmosphere with high quality supplies for creatives of all kinds
A fantastic local craft store! I went here to get a #fountainpen for my sister for Christmas, and Merideth (which I hopefully spelled right) was incredibly helpful and informative, explaining all of my many confusing options in a clear, non inverter way, and helping me work with what little information I had and stay within budget! Would recommend to anyone I can!
Great place for all things paper and such
Coolest art supply store in town
