F​It’s always fun when we transition from Santa’s Secret Shop®/Holiday Gift Shop® season to carnival and company picnic season, especially when it’s time to see what’s new for the upcoming season! This year we have some fun new equipment and a few pieces that will replace items we’ve retired.  We pride ourselves in having clean and quality inflatables and equipment.  As such, they can wear down over time and when we deem them unsafe in any way shape or form off to retirement the equipment is sent. 

After every event, we have a dedicated team of workers who clean and inspect each and every piece of equipment that goes out.   Our dedication to clean equipment goes hand in hand with our dedication to safety, which is why we have the Advanced Inflatable Safety Operations Certification from SIOTO (Safe Inflatable Operators Training Organization).  We believe strongly in ensuring that every inflatable that leaves our location is clean and ready to the handle the fun.

We have a new Carnival themed bounce slide combo.  This unit has an internal slide next to a bounce area.  The Carnival theme is awesome with a red/white tent looking front façade (has windows to still allow internal visibility).  Side windows make it convenient to watch your children bounce and slide inside. You get a lot of bang for your money with a bounce slide combo, the fun of a bounce house with the extra fun of a slide.  An internal slide means that when they slide down they are still in the bounce house and don’t need to reenter the unit to continue having bouncy fun.

Also new is a dual Rockwall slide, this allows for 2 patrons to race up the Rockwall portion and slide down- on the same side as the Rockwall portion.  This means it’s easier to watch your child play without you having to run from front to back and back to front, as they climb up and slide down as often as you let them.

We have updated our Wiped Out inflatable to a new version we are referring to as Wiped Out II.  The new version has less of a drop should you not land on the next target, when you are jumping from obstacle to obstacle.  This one is fun to watch and compete amongst your friends or family as to who can get the farthest with the fewest attempts.
Darts anyone?  How about safe inflatable dart board with flying dart balls instead of sharp darts?  We have a new giant inflatable dart game, the game stands roughly ten feet tall!  Always fun to have a little friendly competition at your event.

Hosting a picnic with limited outlets, but want to include not one or two, but three different sports challenges?  Then our 3 in 1 Sports Challenge would be perfect for you! Features baseball, basketball, and football fun all in one space!  Surely you could best your child in one of the three, right?!

Plan to hand out prizes or cash at your company picnic, we have a classic attraction that makes handing out money fun!  An inflatable money machine is a super fun way to see how much they can grab in a limited time! If prizes are more your speed we have an entire warehouse full of prizes at every price point, check out our online prize catalog HERE.

No picnic or carnival is complete without classic carnival treats.  We have Cotton Candy, Popcorn and Sno Kone machines! Kids of all ages enjoy all three of our tasty treats.  Let’s be honest, adults do too, but aren’t we just kids at heart when it comes to picnic day?

If you are planning a company picnic or school carnival or any other fun event, give us a call today to see what we can do for you.  If you don’t see something on our website, that doesn’t mean we don’t have a connection to what you are looking for, so call and ask today 1-800-772-7587.  You can also shoot us an email at funeventswithus@gmail.com

Our staff are always happy to answer any questions you might have, there are no bad questions!  We appreciate being chosen as a local company over out of state companies.  We firmly believe in helping you at every step of the gift shop process, we are familiar with snow days, lock downs and have plans for situations outside of your control when it comes to the timeline of your school gift shop.  We care about the children shopping for gifts, which is why we have a replacement policy, give us a call or send us an email and we will mail a replacement gift to the school or the persons home (their choice!)  Give us a call today at 1-800-772-7587 to let us know which Traveling Showcase you’ll be attending or to sign your school up for our Gift Shop Program today! 

It’s that time of year again – Christmas in July!  We are officially in the second half of the calendar year, so if you haven’t already signed your school up for the Original and only locally owned and operated Holiday Gift Shop®/Santa’s Secret Shop® it’s the perfect time to sign up!  Signing up now, gives you one less thing on your PTO’s back to school list.   Check this items off your list today, sign up now.  Click HERE to download an agreement, fill it out, then you can scan/e-mail it, or take a photo and send us the photo.  If you have questions before you sign up, give us a call, we are here Monday through Friday 9 am to 5 pm 1-800-772-7587.   
If you already use us, spread the word, if you get another school to sign up and they run a shop with us, YOUR school earns $50.  Who doesn’t like extra money?  We could reduce your bill, or we could send you $50 in free gifts to use as giveaways, teacher gifts, or anything you choose!
We personally deliver the gifts to your school. This means one less stress and worry for when your gifts will be delivered and no concerns on a shipping delay.  I know the year we were forced to ship gifts, I watched numerous gifts take a tour of the country before they reached their destination, which made no sense, so eliminate that concern with our friendly delivery drivers.
Our gift line always includes local sports teams, so with us you can expect to see Detroit Lions, Tigers, Red Wings, Pistons, University of Michigan and Michigan State University.  In Indiana?  Don’t worry, we have some special Indiana team gifts lined up for our 2022 gifts!  Plus we feature very popular  dog and cat toys!  Trust us, the pet toys are a huge hit, children like to get a gift for their favorite family pet.
