🎁 Our story
Every stocking here was picked by someone who cared.
It started in a garage in Cottage Grove with a few clearance-rack finds and a hunch: Christmas should feel personal, even in a hard year. What began as stretching a grocery budget into a handful of gifts has grown into shelves of books, bins of fidgets, totes of craft kits, and racks of stocking stuffers — all set out so families can shop for the kids they know best.
We are not a store, and we try not to feel like a typical charity drop-off either. There is no bill, no proof-of-need paperwork, no waiting for a stranger-packed bag. You walk in, look around, and pick out the things that will make your kid — the one who only likes trucks, the one who needs something quiet to hold, the teenager who is hard to shop for — light up on Christmas morning.
Some families are in and out in ten minutes. Others stay a while, tell us about their year, and leave with a hug. Both are exactly what this is for.
