The Gingerbread Shop
The in-school holiday shopping program that's fun for everyone! The
gingerbread shop features over 100 different high-quality gift items priced
within a child's budget - from pocket change to $10.00, with most gifts under
$3.00. You'll find something here for everyone on a child's list: Mom, Dad,
brothers, sisters, grandparents, and special friends.
The Gingerbread Shop was developed by listening to the needs and vast
experience of school administrators, teachers and parents. The result is an
in-school shopping program that is simple and straightforward: everything you
need to run a successful Gingerbread Shop is included - all you do is sign up
volunteers!

penny...there are no freight charges or hidden costs...you pay only for the
merchandise you sell...and everyone enjoys the holiday spirit!
