How the Family Gift Shop Works
A simple, joyful experience designed for families
Step 1: Kids Shop for Parents
Kids browse and pick out a special gift to give to their parent or guardian. Volunteers help wrap it so it's a surprise!
Step 2: Kids Shop for Siblings
Brothers and sisters choose gifts for each other. This is where the magic of sibling love shines brightest!
Step 3: Parents Shop for Kids
While kids are in the Kid Zone, parents select gifts for their children. Everyone goes home with something to give!
Everyone goes home with gifts to give and hearts full of joy! 🎁

Generally, kids can pick one gift for their parent(s) and one for each sibling. Parents can select gifts for their children. We want every family to participate!

Do I have to donate to attend the gift shop?
No, donations are not required to visit or shop at the Family Gift Shop. Everyone is welcome!
That said, our program runs entirely on community donations. We believe everyone has something to give—whether it's time (volunteering), treasures (gifts), or talents (helping with setup).
Part of our philosophy is that giving is a gift in itself. We want to provide opportunities for everyone to experience the joy of giving, in whatever form that takes for you.
