🎁✨ Kids’ Holiday Store — A Magical Shopping Experience!🎁Step into a world of wonder at the Kids' Holiday Store, where children ages 4+ embark on an enchanting and empowering holiday tradition!
This magical pop-up shop gives young shoppers the chance to choose special gifts for family and friends — all on their own (with the help of our friendly volunteer elves 🧝♀️🧝♂️).
🌟 How It Works
✅ Children check in and receive gift tokens + gift tags
✅ They’re paired with their very own elf guide
✅ They browse gift aisles and choose presents
✅ They visit the gift-wrapping station
✅ They “pay” using their tokens before heading out
⏱️ Experience time: ~20 minutes
👨👩👧 Parents/caregivers wait outside the store — elves will bring children back once they’re finished, gifts wrapped and ready!
💡 Why It’s Special
The Kids’ Holiday Store builds:
⭐ Independence & confidence
⭐ Decision-making skills
⭐ Social interaction & kindness
⭐ Holiday joy — without budget stress
It’s an affordable, meaningful way for children to experience the joy of gifting during the holiday season. ❤️
