Stocking Stuffers

When August rolls around, we start to hear whispers of excitement: "Oh, I'm definitely coming back for stocking stuffers!" By October, those whispers turn into action as early shoppers begin selecting their favorite treats for their loved ones. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we’re gearing up for baskets overflowing with sweet goodies, playful surprises, and perhaps a cheeky flask or a quirky tin sign heading home with our delighted visitors.

Each shelf is bursting with fun, so be sure to carve out extra time to explore every delightful corner! You’ll find squid (or is it octopus?) hats just waiting to crown a silly head, at least four new flavors of Squashies, magnets that will have you giggling, festive Christmas Peeps, Scandinavian licorice, and oh-so-much more!

This time of year, it’s wise to come in early because the good stuff disappears fast! While we’ll keep stocking up on our beloved treats and sodas, the specialty items are as limited as our current inventory. And speaking of fun, have you checked out our collection of adorable stuffed animals? What could be better for stuffing a stocking than a cuddly plush friend?

Now, let’s chat about our favorite days of the season! On Black Friday, November 28th, we’ll be running our annual Buy 1 Get 1 Free Tin Sign special. This is a one-day-only deal, so if you’ve had your eye on a special sign, be sure to swing by! The very next day is Small Business Saturday for most, but for us, it’s Small Business Waggerday! We’re celebrating our love for furry friends by donating 10% of sales from each of our locations to our partner animal rescues! In Kalamazoo, funds go to Animal Rescue Project; in Traverse City, to Cherryland Humane Society; in Ann Arbor, to Humane Society of Huron Valley; and at the Mall of America, donations go to Warrior Dog Rescue.
