Adding Character to your parties, gifts & life!

Love of Character is a paper goods & party supplies shop based in Kansas. Our shop is filled with creative work by mostly small businesses and creatives, plus our own team. For the Love of Character blog started in 2013 as Mary and her husband, Dustin, started working on home improvements in their old house. The name came from their love of character when searching for the “perfect” house to start their life together. It was the little touches such as the staircase, crown molding and wood work that sold them on it. Sharing ideas on decorating, party throwing, and gifts, Mary realized she wanted to help others add some character to their lives. With the help of her Aunt Mary (her creative partner in crime), in 2016 she decided to bring her childhood daydream to life and open a brick & mortar shop where parties could be hosted, gifts purchased & occasions toasted! Although her wonderful Aunt Mary is no longer with us, LOC continues to grow and bring joy to those around it. We are so glad you found us and we hope that we can add some fun and joy to your life as well!
