The Kids Snow Flake Bizarre is an event for children which takes place before Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Christmas. This is an incredible opportunity for kids up to the age of 14 to be able to attend to purchase gifts for their loved ones and friends. As the children come in to shop they can exchange their money for $5 bill. Depending on the age of the child they may be paired up with a helper that will assist and guide them with finding that right gift for that special someone. Kids usually come prepared with a list of people for which they are buying for. There is a parents room/space where beverages and baked goods are available for purchase as well. Kids get to help with wrapping and labeling the gift for whomever it is for. The kids really enjoy when Santa makes a surprise appearance during the Christmas shop. Prices range from $0.25 to $3.50. All items are donated whether its new or gently used.
