At Penguin Patch, we’re all about making your life as a volunteer as smooth as can be. We eliminate the need for those extra errands and to-do lists, giving you more time to relish the true spirit of the holidays. We’ve got you covered with everything you need to ensure a fun and successful holiday shop!
Every gift in our line is designed in-house and completely custom — trendy, on point, and made just for kids. We keep prices priced right for young shoppers too, with just $10 more than enough for a child to pick out something for their entire family.
And it’s not just a tradition for the students — it’s a win for the whole school. The markup on every item goes right back to your school, helping fund supplies and events that benefit students all year long.
Checkout day is simple with our online calculator. Your school’s markup is already built in, so there’s no math and no guessing — just accurate pricing every time. Volunteers simply enter the price codes for each item a student selects, hit enter, and the total is calculated instantly. That means unlimited checkout stations can run at once, keeping lines moving fast and getting students in and out smoothly.
We don’t just bring the gifts — we bring the whole look. Every shop comes with custom door covers and tablecloths, so your space feels festive, polished, and ready to shop from the moment doors open. No extra decorating, no last-minute scrambling to make things look presentable — we’ve got the presentation covered so you can focus on the fun.
We make sure your volunteers are equipped and easy to spot. Every shop comes with cute, bright aprons that add a fun pop to your space — and double as a quick visual cue so students always know exactly who to ask for help while they shop. We also provide totes, perfect for carrying supplies back and forth between shop hours, or keeping snacks on hand to help keep your volunteers fueled and ready to go.
We know what works, what doesn’t, and all the little things that make a volunteer’s life easier — so we put it all together to help you get through your shop with fun, laughter, and a heart so full. You’ll find guidance on how to set up your shop, how to organize each product with its coordinating price, and how to promote your event to get students and families excited. We even cover what to do after your event, including how to send back any unneeded items — so wrapping up is just as easy as getting started.
Easily promote your shop with our pre-made templates. Keep parents and teachers informed about upcoming shop dates, make-up days and even volunteer opportunities.
