Located on a leafy street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn since 2022, The WonderMart is a community-driven gift shop that exclusively stocks handcrafted products made or designed in NY State, supporting 300+ local indie brands and makers.
We offer a bright and welcoming space where consumers can find unique products and gifts and a platform for talented hobbyists, full time makers and more established indie brands to reach new audiences.
From greeting cards and candles to a full range of functional ceramics (and so much more), our shop has something for everyone - even the folks that have everything. Offering joy and a bit of wonderment in every nook and corner.
The WonderMart is owned and curated by New York native Perri Salka.
Born and raised on Long Island, Perri Salka has called New York City home since 2005. A proud graduate of the School of Visual Arts, Class of 2009, Perri has always been deeply connected to the arts and to the creative communities that make New York feel alive.
After experiencing firsthand how challenging it can be to build a sustainable creative life, Perri founded The WonderMart in 2019 as a way to champion independent makers, artists, and small brands. What began in the corner of her living room, with a small selection of locally made goods sold at weekend makers markets, has grown into a beloved Greenpoint storefront. Opened in 2022, The WonderMart is now a go-to gifting destination featuring small-batch products from more than 300 makers and independent brands across New York State.
In 2024, Perri became the lead organizer of Shop Small Greenpoint, bringing her passion for collaboration and local commerce to a neighborhood-wide initiative that supports and celebrates small businesses. Under her leadership, Shop Small Greenpoint launched a digital small business directory, created a WhatsApp group where business owners can stay connected and share resources, and introduced a sponsorship program to support the group’s beloved biannual retail crawl events.
Her work has helped strengthen connections between local shops and residents, encourage people to keep their dollars in the neighborhood, and foster a culture of community over competition. In recognition of her impact, Perri received official proclamations from Council Member Lincoln Restler in 2025 and Assemblywoman Emily Gallagher in 2026.
Today, Perri continues to be a driving force in North Brooklyn’s small business ecosystem, creating opportunities for artists, makers, small businesses, and neighbors to thrive together.
Whether you’re shopping for the perfect gift or just looking for a little treat, Perri can’t wait to welcome you into The WonderMart and help you discover something special.
