What's Happening This Week (It's a Lot)
It's going to be a busy one this week — deliveries on the way, sales shifting dates, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting.
Here's what's happening around the shop.
NeeDoh Calendars — Still on the Way.
(Above image is from last week. These are sold out right now)
We're still waiting on our NeeDoh calendar delivery — and yes, we know the anticipation!
Here's the plan once they land: Halloween countdown and Christmas Advent calendars will hit the floor together, at the same time. We won't be making a big announcement when it happens, so if you've been waiting, it's worth popping in and checking. We will not drop on Tuesday for sure, read on for the reason.
One more thing — we've put new parameters in place for how NeeDoh drops will work this season. If you want the details, stop by and ask Michelle in person. She's got the rundown.
Christmas in July Sidewalk Sale — New Date

Our Christmas in July Sidewalk Sale has been pushed back to Saturday, July 25, from 11am to 4pm. Mark your calendar!
But here's a little secret — if Saturday doesn't work for you, keep an eye out earlier in the week. On nice days (no rain), we may sneak a few items out onto the sidewalk ahead of time. So it never hurts to swing by and see what's out.
Scout Bags — Still 20% Off
Scout Bags remain 20% off this week — and if you haven't picked one up yet, now's a great time. These totes and storage bags are built for real life: sturdy, structured, and made to last.
Don't just take our word for it — we've got a white tote that's been living behind our desk for 25 years. Still going strong. That's the kind of durability we're talking about.
Christmas Stock Is Starting to Arrive
It's that time of year again — boxes are showing up, and soon we'll be pricing, unpacking, and getting excited about all things holiday gifting.
It's one of our favorite parts of the season. This year comes with an extra challenge, though — fitting everything in alongside the NeeDoh trend is going to take some creative logistics!
But the fun is just getting started, so stay tuned.
Wednesday Night Live — On Hold This Week
We won't be doing a Wednesday Night Live this week.
Bob and I are heading to Philadelphia on Tuesday for a checkup — nothing to worry about, just one of those appointments where the actual visit is 15 minutes and the waiting and travel take up most of the day.
Honestly, it's turned into a nice bit of time for the two of us to just be together.
Maybe we'll pick Live back up next week.
This Weekend: Saint Joseph's Center Festival
Don't forget — the Saint Joseph's Center Festival is happening this weekend at Marywood's campus, and the weather looks like it's going to cooperate.
It's a wonderful community event and a great fundraiser supporting the incredible work the Center does. Well worth stopping by.
That's the rundown for this week — busy, a little unpredictable, but that's what keeps it fun around here.
See you soon! -Michelle and crew
