Shop for Tots

As you gather with friends and family to give thanks for all your blessings, we ask that you do what you can to help those less fortunate. Join Hatchett Design Remodel is collecting Toys for Tots this Thanksgiving weekend. It’s traditionally the best weekend to shop, so you can save while you give!

The big stores, like Walmart, will be featuring special Black Friday deals on toys.  Kohl’s, for example, has up to 50-60% off their Black Friday deals, including classic wooden toys by Melissa & Doug.

Boutiques and Mom & Pop shops all over Hampton Roads will be offering special deals throughout their stores, toys included. Shop on this day and support two great causes – Buy Local and Toys for Tots. Check out local toy stores like POP Kids Store in downtown Norfolk or Matt & Juliette in Williamsburg. Boutiques such as Le Marche and A. Dodson’s in Ghent aren’t specifically “toy stores”, but they have a great selection of unique gifts for kids of all ages – and you’ll probably find a little something for yourself in there as well!

If all that tryptophan leaves you too tired to get off the couch to tackle sales on Friday or Saturday, then Cyber Monday is for you! Pretty much any store with a website will be featuring special savings on Monday. Amazon’s Best Sellers list is a great way to find out what’s popular with the kids this year.

Toys for Tots provides gifts to children of all ages, but tweens and teens tend to be overlooked. Please keep these kids in mind while you shop. Electronics, classic board games, craft kits, and sports equipment are all good ideas for these taller tots.

We’re accepting toys and monetary donations now through December 13th at both our Newport News and Virginia Beach showrooms. Please drop off your unwrapped toy anytime during our business hours, Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm. Thanks in advance for helping us spread hope this holiday season.  It’s not just a toy – it’s a gift of joy!
