Resale Santa

Some modest proposals of resale shopkeeper gifts.

Gift for shopkeepers with a sense of humor:

Great WOM item for the shop: A Tramp Lamp.

A thank-you gift to a fellow resaler:

Their name engraved in lights (well, electrons) along with their web site, pinpointed location on the Zoomable map, and gratitude from The Resale Guru for your support of the entire industry.

Stocking stuffers for shopkeepers:

If you have a little helper who’d love to have a project while s/he hangs around the shop, this round-corner punch can give a custom look to your business cards.

If you just can’t stop thinking about the shop even when you’re relaxing, The Picker Who Perished continues the obsession…

And then there’s these:

They may not know everything about their online buddies, but they’d like to send them a small and easily mailed holiday gift. Here are some things I found on the ‘net… send ’em to your friends and pretend YOU searched high and low.

Everything is looking up for the rich shopkeeper. She makes SURE it does.

They plan ahead.

Do you have every event, every ad, every blog message, website change, consignor letter and bag-stuffer….even every display window theme, between now and the end of the year planned out?
