Children looking to get a jump start on their holiday shopping can visit Candy Cane Lane: The Children’s Christmas Shop on Nov. 27 at Edgebrook Lutheran Church, 5252 W. Devon, from 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m.
Candy Cane Lane: The Children’s Christmas Shop is open to the public and designed to empower children (ages 3 – 10) to “secretly” shop, purchase and wrap Christmas gifts for up to four family members and/or friends in a safe and welcoming environment, while also learning about financial literacy and budgeting.
Children and their parents/caregivers will enter Candy Cane Lane at the church’s east entrance on Nokomis Avenue, and be greeted by a personal shopper. The personal shopper will then assist children in their shopping in the “Children’s Christmas Shop”
There will be a variety of gifts available for sale at The Children’s Christmas Shop ranging from $1 to $5. Parents can give money in advance for their children or pay by cash or check upon “check out” from The Children’s Christmas Shop. Children are encouraged to have a shopping list and budget in mind, but their personal shoppers can also assist them with their list and budget.
Children can also receive assistance from church “elves” in wrapping their gifts on site, so parents/caregivers can’t peak at their gifts on the way home.
All proceeds from Candy Cane Lane: The Children’s Christmas Shop will go toward the Children & Youth Ministries of Edgebrook Lutheran Church.
