2025 School Gift Shop- Gifts Loading
The 2024 School Gift Shop season came with some snowstorms that caused some drop off, reorder, and pick up shuffling. One benefit of choosing us as your School gift shop vendor is that we are in Michigan, so we can pivot when school closures occur. We know when bad weather is coming and can re-route the delivery of the reorder to a house nearby or meet the custodial staff to get your shop delivered on time.
Why does local matter? This ensures that you get your gifts on time and are ready to continue your shop or start your shop once school reopens. In 2024 the snow seemed to pick Thursday as it’s designated day. We spent the early morning hours on Thursday re-routing our drivers. Our drivers often leave before the actual school closure list gets posted on local news channels. We also move pick up days/times so all children can have a chance to shop for their loved ones gifts.
Our team of Santa Drivers also serve the purpose of eliminating shipping costs allowing us to provide high quality gifts. We don’t have to only purchase gifts that are light and cost less to mail. We are able to get quality gifts we would love to receive. After we select an item we often get samples from vendors so we can see and touch the item at our office to determine quality.
Open Houses for School Gift Shop
We spend the beginning of the year shopping for the next school years gift line. We’ve already attended one buying show and have two more on our calendar. We bring the gifts for you to see first hand during our fall Open Houses. You can see the 2025 schedule HERE for an Open House near you.
Why should you attend an Open House? See the entire gift line in person, with prices, pick up and play with the gifts. This allows you to see the value you get with our gifts. Not only do we allow you to see the items in person, we also have Bargain Buys. Bargain Buys are close out deals that you take with you and use at your school. Of course, you don’t have to supplement, as we have a great range of gifts year after year. What can you do with the bargain buy outs? Add them to your gift shop, use the items in your school store, teacher prizes, or wherever you see fit, the possibilities really are endless.
Local Sports Team Gifts
One big difference between our school gift shop services and other companies is we offer local team gifts. As such, we carry Lions, Tigers, Red Wings, Pistons, University of Michigan and Michigan State University gifts in several different price points. We are proud of our Detroit Lions and are excited for the next season and all the opportunities that our Lions have coming. Never fear we are actively stocking our gift shop with many new and wonderful Detroit Lions gifts!
