Secure a room to hold your shop: gym, unused classroom, library, or stage in a cafeteria, auditorium, etc.
Setup tables so volunteers may stand behind them while students shop on the other side.
Setup the shop based on similar pricing (see sample diagram below).
Use the price cards found in your Setup and Shop Instructions packet. Cut the cards out and place them on the table, wall, or both so that the price is easily read by shopper and volunteers. (DO NOT write/mark on the merchandise).
Set a few of each item on the tables storing remaining product under the table. When you run out of an item, replenish your tables from the stored items.
Your cashier will need a cash box and calculator.
Your gift wrap table should be stocked with to/from gift bags (provided). Gift wrap table should be the students’ last stop.
Display the poster on Page 18 in a high visibility area of your shop per State of Texas requirements.
Don’t forget the decorations and music. Make your shop a magical experience!

One Month From Start Date:
Good morning, students! The holidays are around the corner, and we have an exciting program coming to our school. Wouldn’t it be great if you could shop for Mom and Dad without them being there? You could pick out a special gift, and they won’t know what it is until your family gift exchange. Start earning money and saving now so that you will be able to secretly shop for your loved ones. Ask Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa what you can do to earn a little bit of money. Be watching for the posters in the halls. In a couple of weeks we will send home letters and budget envelopes for you to take home to your parents.
