With several hundred students, the challenge is not finding gifts. It is making sure the fifth-graders on Friday have as much choice as the kindergarteners on Monday.
Buy depth, not just variety
For a large school, a few dozen of a gift disappears in one morning. Choose a core set of low-priced gifts and buy each in quantity. Clearance pricing makes that affordable. Start with Clearance and Hot Deals and More Closeout Gifts.
Hold stock back
Put out part of each gift each day. Keep the rest boxed and labeled by day, so the last classes are not left with empty tables.
Order early
Clearance lines are not restocked, and our stock is shared with every school we serve. The quantities a large school needs are easiest to get early in the season.
Lean on the return window
Unsold, undamaged gifts can be returned before January 15 with a return authorization. That lets a large school order with confidence.
Ordering basics: $10 minimum order, free UPS Ground shipping on continental U.S. orders over $400, and payment by card, check or school purchase order (approved orders over $400). Unsold, undamaged gifts can be returned before January 15 with a return authorization. See shipping and ordering and our returns policy for the details.
