We ask that all gifts be returned to the location where you picked up the tag, or the alternate location printed on the tag, by December 1, 2025. 

I can’t find all items requested in the store where I picked up the tag. Can I shop other stores, too?
Yes. Shop at any store you wish. If you cannot find the requested item, do not check it off on the tag. We may be able to find it or substitute with an item donated to us by one of our partners.
