Secret Snowflake Shop - 9:40

About this event

Welcome to the registration for the 10th Annual Secret Snowflake Shop! The Secret Snowflake Shop gives children ages 4-13 the opportunity to independently purchase holiday gifts for the special people (and pets!) in their lives - all on their own! Gifts will be $6 each, including wrapping, and ready to give when they leave the Library. Registration is required! Parents registering multiple children should register each child separately. This time slot is your child's check-in time. After check-in, your child will receive a group number and will shop when that group is called, based on volunteer availability. Please plan to be at the Library for 1 - 2 hours. Please bring with you a shopping list for each kid registered. In this shopping list, you will detail who your kids are going to shop for and the category they fall under. Example: Name - Category Aunt Sally - Adult Female You can download a shopping list template below. What to Expect: Shopping: Our wonderful volunteers will assist your child while they pick out the perfect gift for everyone on their list. We ask that caregivers remain outside the Snowflake shop to help keep the gifts a secret. After everything is wrapped, our volunteers will reunite you with your child. Crafts & Activities: While waiting, children can make simple crafts, enjoy doughnuts and beverages (available for purchase), play a game, and participate in the Train Table Holiday Scavenger Hunt. Silent Auction: This is a great opportunity for adults to find holiday gifts. Dates: Bidding opens Friday, November 20th and closes Sunday, December 6th at 5:00 PM. Locations: Over 50 themed baskets will be displayed: Zionsville Branch (Youth Department and Circulation Desk) Whitestown Branch (Main Lobby) Don't miss this magical opportunity for your child to experience the joy of holiday giving at the Secret Snowflake Shop! *If this registration fee will prevent your child from participating in this event, please contact the Friends at friendsofhmmpl@gmail.com for scholarship opportunities.
