Weather can be unpredictable.  Being in Michigan helps us navigate mother nature’s curve balls.  How, you ask? If winter is on the weather menu, we can bring a reorder to your house (or meet the custodian at the backdoor with the secret handshake). This way when school reopens you are ready with a fully stocked gift shop. We are also in the same time zone as you so when you call, you’ll reach a human not an answering service. Double Bonus, you won’t have to wait until lunchtime for us to open for the day. 

We also ensure we have gifts that showcase our major league teams, Lions, Tigers, and Red Wings oh my! Not to mention having both Michigan and Michigan State gift choices. For our Indiana friends, don’t worry we buy gifts for your major league teams too! Colts, Pacers, Purdue, Notre Dame and Indiana University. We Our gift line is new every year, we feature over 100 items, with most of them under $5.00.  Click HERE to see a small sample of our 2024 gift line. The best part of our gift line? Attend an open house and you can see the entire line in person.  Check HERE for the Open House Schedule. Attending an Open House allows you to see the quality of our gifts for yourself.  We encourage you to check out the merchandise. 

Hear requests during the shop of what the kids (or parents) were hoping to see, let us know!  We happily take suggestions and try to fulfill them when we attend buying shows.  We attend buying shows right after the holiday break and have most of our gift line firmed up by March! 

You pay absolutely no money up front, you only pay for the gifts sold. We send the gifts, you run your shop, send us a quick express check out form, we send you an invoice.  We happily assist you every step of the way. Click HERE to learn more.

​We believe in Fun, it’s even in our name, but we also strongly believe in safety.  Which is why, we have rules in place about wet inflatables and length requirements for extension cords. The reason we limit extension cord length is to avoid fire and melted plugs which can lead to damaged equipment. If you plug numerous extension cords together or use one longer than 50 feet the chances of overloading the cord increases.  A fire during your event is not the kind of excitement you are aiming for! As such, distance from power supplies should be factored in when planning events at your school, church, or company. 
Safety is also a factor when we require either the company’s grounds crew or miss dig to mark the ground for underground hazards when we stake our inflatables. No one wants us (or anyone) to accidentally stake through a network cable or a sprinkler line, and definitely not a sewer pipe!  That would be one way to get your event discussed around the water cooler, but not the kind of chatter we want your event to have.  We want your guests to discuss how fun it was, how Sally beat Bill at their Dart Game competition and how all the children had to much Cotton Candy, but it was totally worth it because of the smiles.
We have been planning and executing events for over 50 years.  This means when you choose us for your company picnic, school carnival, church events, we will be able to help guide you with layout options for your gathering.  We can do a site inspection and provide layout maps if necessary.  We have some inflatables that can only be stacked due to their size, which means grass can be a requirement. You might have a fantastic parking lot with plenty of space, but sometimes our equipment can’t be used on it due to safety concerns.  We use LONG stakes to properly secure our inflatables so that they can’t get picked up should the wind get a bit gusty. No one wants a balloon ride when they were just trying to climb the Rockwall!
The one factor we can’t control is mother nature.  Unfortunately, our inflatable attractions are not suitable for rain. A slippery bounce house is just a disaster waiting to happen – because vinyl gets slippery fast!  Therefore, when rain happens, we need to deflate and cover the inflatables and then resume play once the weather moves along.  Often times we can develop a rain plan. A large gym, barn or lobby can hold some of our smaller inflatables easily and allow for fun. 
Wind is the second factor mother nature often brings.  A nice gentle breeze is welcome at events, who doesn’t enjoy a nice breeze to help keep everyone cool, but a strong wind can create hazards and temporarily stop the inflatable fun.  If you are using us for an event where our staff remains on site, be assured our supervisors have many years of experience watching weather and adjusting the plans when necessary.  We do the hard work, so you can simply enjoy your event.  Give us a call today to see how we can help you plan your next great event safely but with loads of Fun!  1-800-772-7587

​As we approach July, being a School Gift Shop Company means we think Christmas in July!  July is also when we are in the middle of our busy company picnic season. 

We have over 80 carnival midway games, prizes, inflatables, cotton candy,  pop corn and sno kone machines, plus much more!  Didn’t plan your picnic yet? Give us a call, we have a couple dates open and we’d love to help you plan some fun for your employees and their families. We have a great crew this year, we held our annual crew training in June. Crew training is the perfect time to introduce the picnic business to the new hires and go over any new safety features with the returning crew.   We are proud to be a third generation Michigan business. Our warehouse is in a small village, so it’s a great way for local teenagers to get their first job without needing a car to travel to a bigger city. It’s fun watching the shy kids come out of their shells as the picnic season rolls along.
​
