SUMMARY:Kids Only Holiday Shop 2026
DESCRIPTION:Special shopping from 2:30-3 pm for kids who need a low sensory experience!\nGive your child a chance to surprise the whole family this season \nA beloved community tradition\, the Kids Only Holiday Shop invites children ages four to ten to shop for loved ones – all on their own! This cherished tradition sparks independence and lets kids feel the joy of giving. \nRegister your child for this event and arrive during your timed entry slot. Shoppers arriving outside of their time slot should expect to wait until a spot opens. Check-in at the Glore Solarium where your child will receive a shopping bag. Cheerful Elves escort each child through the boutique. Along the way\, kids explore booths from local vendors and artisans. \nYour child is able to shop independently\, with the assistance of Elves helping young shoppers manage their money and make thoughtful choices. Finally\, the Wonder Wrappers wrap and label each purchase – so every gift is ready to be placed under the tree. \nSign up today and make holiday memories that last! \n \nImportant Information:\n\nHave your child bring a gift list indicating each person for whom they are to buy and how much to spend on each individual.\nKeep gift lists to eight people max\nA good guideline for budgeting is between $5-15 per person you are buying for. Please be sure to send your child with enough money for the gifts on their list.\nShoppers should bring a ziplock bag with cash only in small bills for payment\nMost items are priced between $5-$15\n2:30-3 pm is a special shopping time for kids with sensory needs only!\n3-6 pm are regular shopping hours\nPlease register and choose a 15-minute entry window\n\nInterested in being a vendor for this event? Please contact Ann Wildman at ann@nullgortoncenter.org. Space is limited and vendors must be approved. \nPlease note: While your little ones shop\, parents and caregivers should wait in the lower level Card Room\, which will be well-marked. Please do not leave this area – we rely on you being here so we can reunite you with your shopper!
