Every box that arrives at the School will have its own packing slip on top so there is no need to share a master inventory sheet or wondering what is in the box. A chairperson last year said that we carry multiple “Rings” and that pictures would be helpful in recognizing the different items. Each packing inventory list has images of each item next to the description and quantity to make things easier. We have also added images to the Pre-Priced tent cards which correspond to the pricing you select when you sign up. (0% profit, 10% profit, 20% profit or Blank if you would like to set your own prices) With images now on our tent cards, even a volunteer who only has an hour to help out can help with restocking by simply matching the pictures with the items. Year after year we try to think of new ways to make your job easier!
The Holidays are near…and, as a special service, our school is hosting a Lil’ Shopper’s Shoppe®. Children will have the opportunity to pick out their own inexpensive, high-quality gifts for family and friends.
The Lil’ Shopper’s Shoppe® is a program designed for children to shop on their own at school, in a safe, non-commercial environment. They can learn to budget their money and spend wisely, while also experiencing the “Joy Of Giving”.
The Lil’ Shopper’s Shoppe® will be set up in the school and will be run by parent and grandparent volunteers. Gifts are priced for a child’s budget, ranging from $0.25 to $12.75, with most priced under $5.00. There are gifts available for ALL the members of your Lil’ Shopper’s family.
Gift Certificates are available and a great option if you prefer to use a credit card instead of sending your child to school with cash. In addition, you can email family members to sponsor your child. A sponsor/family member may purchase the gift certificate online and have it emailed back to your child to use at the holiday shop.
Lil' Shopper's Shoppe is a family-owned and operated business that has been in operation since 1976.
Holiday Shop is a gift-buying business where the merchandise is shipped to the school, children go into the elementary schools, shop independently, and shop for Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister, with 85% of the gifts priced no higher than $5.00. Students have the chance to shop on a small budget and with $just $10 they can buy several gifts for family members, teachers, etc.
It runs similar to a book fair. Everything is sold on consignment and there's no risk to your school.
