What’s Included in Your
School Holiday Shop Kit

E-WALLET FOR PARENTS: 

Parents can add funds online for their child to shop, similar to a school book fair. They can track spending, receive receipts, and add more funds when needed.
 

Volunteers can look up E-Wallet purchases by student name or QR code, helping checkout move faster and keeping student shopping organized.

CASHLESS OPTION:

Prefer not to handle cash during your holiday shop? Tip Top offers tools to help your school run a cashless shopping option.

​

This can help simplify checkout, reduce money handling for volunteers, and keep sales more organized during busy shopping days.

 

WEB APP FOR VOLUNTEERS

Tip Top’s web app gives your volunteer team helpful tools to manage the holiday shop more easily.

Depending on your school’s setup, volunteers can use the web app to help with:

• Student E-Wallet lookup

• QR code lookup

• Checkout support

• Sales tracking

• Shop activity and totals

• Reorder information

The web app is designed to make the shop easier for volunteers and help your team stay organized during the event.

 

CUSTOM PARENT LETTERS: 

Tip Top provides printed parent letters customized with your school’s dates and pricing information.

​

Letters are printed in English and Spanish, and we print them for you. Each letter includes a detachable envelope and wish list, making it easier for families to plan ahead and send money with their child.

​

$200 IN TIP TOP CASH: 

Every school receives $200 in Tip Top Cash. 

​

Tip Top Cash helps students who may need a little extra support so they can still experience the joy of shopping for their family. No child should have to miss out on the excitement of choosing a gift for someone they love.

PROMOTIONAL POSTERS: 

Tip Top provides full-size, full-color posters to help promote your shop and keep students and parents informed.

​

These posters make it easy to build excitement around the school and remind families when the holiday shop is coming.

​

NO FEES

Tip Top also covers all processing fees including credit, debit, and ACH. There are no hidden costs passed to your school.

​

READY-TO-USE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS: 

Tip Top creates ready-to-use social media posts to help your school promote the holiday shop online.

​

These posts make it easy to spread the word, get parents excited, and save volunteers time.

PRINCIPAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

Tip Top provides a ready-to-read principal announcement that can be shared over the school intercom.

​

It is a simple way to remind students about the shop and build excitement during the school day.

SPONSOR AND VOLUNTEER GUIDE:  

Your shop includes a helpful guide filled with information your volunteer team can use before, during, and after the event.

​

The guide includes setup tips, scheduling suggestions, sales information, cleanup instructions, and helpful reminders so your team feels confident and prepared.

PRICE CODE CARDS: 

Tip Top provides sturdy, colorful price code cards that make it easy to display prices throughout your holiday shop.

​

These cards look professional, help students shop more independently, and make it easier for volunteers to answer pricing questions quickly.

GIFT BAGS: 

Gift bags are included with your holiday shop.

​

Our self-sealing mylar gift bags include a printed tag for writing “To” and “From,” making it easy for students to wrap their gifts before taking them home.

 
EASY ONLINE RE-ORDERS: 

Need more gifts during your shop? Our website makes it easy to place a quick reorder.

​

Many reorders can be received quickly, helping your shop stay stocked and ready for students.

​

VOLUNTEER VAULT REWARDS:

Schools that complete a Tip Top Holiday Shop can earn access to the Volunteer Vault, our post-season rewards program created for schools and the volunteers who make the shop possible.

​

After your holiday shop season ends and closeout is complete, your school earns Bars based on total shop sales. Bars can be used to select rewards from the Volunteer Vault during the open window.

​

The Volunteer Vault is designed to recognize the time, planning, and effort it takes to run a successful school holiday shop.

​

Every Dollar Sold Earns Bars

Your school earns Bars based on total shop sales, not your profit percentage and not invoiced totals.

​

That means schools can choose a lower profit percentage to keep prices affordable for students and families and still earn Bars through the Volunteer Vault.

​

No Upfront Cost

There is no upfront cost to host a Tip Top Holiday Shop.

​

Your school only pays for the items sold, and your school keeps the profit based on the profit percentage you choose.

​

Free Shipping

Tip Top ships your holiday shop materials and gifts to your school at no cost.

​

Return Unsold Gifts

After your holiday shop is complete, your school can return unsold gifts using Tip Top’s return process.

 

Ready From Setup to Send-Off

From gifts and parent letters to posters, E-Wallet tools, volunteer support, easy reorders, and Volunteer Vault rewards, Tip Top gives your school the tools to run a successful holiday shop from start to finish.

Give us a try. We think it will be your best holiday shop yet.
