The shop has gifts for children ages 17 and under. Potential donors are asked to consider bringing in gifts meant for teens, as it is consistently the hardest zone to stock.

All of the gifts at the shop are donated. Donation bins can be found throughout Lethbridge.

This year’s Shop of Wonders is located at the Bowman Arts Centre.
