Checking the gifts
The Small Mall is designed for children 3-13 years old to do their own holiday shopping for family and friends in a secure environment. This fun filled event will be held on Sat. Dec. 7, 9-5 and Sun. Dec. 8, 10-4. Kids love this event as it allows them to pick out something they think their loved ones will want without the presence of a parent and the gift comes from the heart. It is important for the first time shoppers and parents to know what to expect so our 'Head Elf' explains the process. Prior to the child entering the shopping area a list is completed with the names, ages and dollar amount for each gift on the list. The gifts are $3, $5 or $7 and prepaid by the parent. Our volunteer elves escort each little shopper with their completed gift list into the shopping area where gifts are arranged according to category and price. Our wide selection of gifts include jewelry, novelty items, gift sets, toys, books, games, stuffed animals, sweets and so much more. Once the shopping list is completed each gift is wrapped, labeled and ready to be placed under the tree. To complete their shopping experience each child receives a free ride on the 1913 carousel, (photo op) a bag of Magic Reindeer Food, movies and access to the Kid's Craft Corner to make some awesome ornaments. While waiting for your shoppers parents can enjoy complimentary hot chocolate and browse through the crafts, gifts, baked goods available for purchase and take a chance on the Sports Cooler, Women's Basket and the Kid's Tent raffles.
