Winter Wonderland Christmas Fundraiser Brochure - A perfect choice for a Christmas Fundraiser for Fall 2025!
If you are searching for your next fundraiser, search no further. You’ve come to the right place. Welcome to Gifts ‘N Things, a trusted fundraising partner for over 40 years and a family-run business committed to serving our schools and communities. While a lot has changed over 40 years, some things haven’t, like our commitment to giving customers quality products at reasonable prices. Products your families will feel good about purchasing. We stand behind every product we sell with a 100% unconditional money-back guarantee that if someone doesn’t like an item or changes their mind, we will offer the customer a full refund, and you keep the profit.
Great fundraising starts with quality products. A Gifts ‘N Things Winter Wonderland brochure features over 100 high-quality items, from heavy-duty wrapping paper to time-saving kitchen items and unique gift items. We offer something for everyone, including a wide variety of tasty chocolates, candy, gourmet mixes, magazines, and much more.
If you want to add food to your sale without the headache and hassle of frozen food, our Gourmet Goodness program is the perfect option. It’s filled with various cheese and sausage, gourmet mixes from soups to dip, and cheesecakes and cookies.
We are also committed to making your job easy as a volunteer. We offer all our sponsors a free Fundraising Made Simple program. This program is designed to take the hassle out of running your fundraiser and motivate your students simultaneously. From start to finish, we are there to ensure a smooth sale. Before the sale, we start with help writing your parent letters. We then collate brochures and group them in groups of 25. Then, we deliver your packets to your school, ready for kick-off in our exclusive totes. During your sale, we make it easy and safe for students to take orders. We start with 3-part order forms for added peace of mind.
We allow all students to support your school through in-person selling and online shopping with an online store. Our online store includes the ability to post to social media and send custom emails and text messages to family and friends. The school gets the profit, and the seller gets the prize credit. Your customers can ship directly to their homes or the school where the student will deliver to them. And remember, safety is always our #1 priority. All our materials strongly emphasize no door-to-door selling.
When it comes to the packing and delivery of your fundraiser, we pride ourselves on accuracy and attention to detail. We have a state-of-the-art scanning system to ensure a 99.9% order accuracy rating, so there will be fewer headaches for you and your volunteers. We pack and label all student orders with large, easy-to-read labels. When the orders arrive, they will be handed out to your families.
We also provide you, as a volunteer, with all the computer reports and sale summaries in an easy-to-read format that details all sellers, orders, prizes, and internet sales. We put the fun back into fundraising! Great products, easy ordering, and accurate delivery are all super important. But equally important is motivating your students to participate in the fundraiser. Our prize program starts with selling just 1 item. The first three levels are cumulative, and starting at level 4, the students pick a prize of their choice. It’s the best of both worlds. We also pride ourselves in offering quality prizes that students will enjoy and parents will appreciate it. And don’t forget about the many other fun and rewarding incentive options, including our ice cream, yogurt, and healthy treat party for homerooms with 50% participation, our online registration kick-start program where a student can earn a prize for registering online, and our Homeroom Prize where every homeroom will be given to each homeroom for drawing when selling three items. A coupon is printed on the participant letter for the student to fill out and return to their classroom once they have sold just items.
We also make promoting your sale effortless with our school kick-off kits. This kit provides everything you’ll need to promote your sale, including hallway and classroom posters where students can sign their names as soon as they participate.
Doing the little things to get the word out to your families is part of our commitment to you, so we’ll supply you with free samples of products and food for your school's open house. After the sale, as a thank you to the people running the sale, these samples are yours to keep.
We are not only the leader in fundraising brochures but also in school holiday shops. If your school runs a fundraiser brochure sale and our Lil’ Shopper’s Holiday Shoppe, we’ll give every child in your school one free Lil’ Shopper’s Shoppe dollar to spend at the holiday shop. Every child can participate with one free dollar and have 50 cents to spend on Mom and Dad each, so everyone at the school will discover the joy of giving.
PS, If you choose this program, reserve your brochures immediately. This brochure can sell out, and we suggest starting in the early fall season for the best sales. If you have any questions, please call us on the day, evening, or weekend. Our number is (860) 384-3691 or email deb@best-fundraising-ideas.com. If you are ready to sign up, call us or complete the ”Request a Fundraising Agreement” sheet and email it to deb@best-fundraising-ideas.com. We’ll complete the agreement and email it to you for your signature.
We look forward to working with you!
