trinkets and school supplies

[chefpatty]

I run a "school store" for my DD grammer school. It's just a fun thing not a fundrasier which we do once a month. Yesterday graveyard mall had a great sale. I know about oriental trading but does anyone know of another site with this kind of stuff? If we get it cheap we can sell it cheap and the kids will be happy! TIA!!

Don't forget after holidays sale at both Walmart and Target, I saw alot of those bagged little trinkets which have multi items like erasers, pencils, rings, balls, etc. You could divide it out especially if you get it for 75% off. Personally, I picked up this kind of stuff for goodie bags for birthday parties, hand out next Halloween or little extras to put on top of birthday gifts. You might even be able to get little bigger items for cheap to sell.

Dollar Tree--I've picked up stuff like six glow braceletes for $1--

It's a pretty good site with that kind of stuff. I have also bought stuff from ebay. A lot of times, sellers will mix and match lots to personalize it for you, and it figures to be less than oriental trading.

Thanks for the link.

What would I seach under on e-bay?

That depends on what you're looking for. Keep it general, if you're looking for pencils, search for pencils. Typing "lot' after the key word is good, too, such as "eraser lot".

I got tons of erasers at the Dollar store for a buck.

 

I searched "corporate promotions" and got tons of pages... if you ever wanted to put the school name on stuff.. that'd be the route to go...
