You will need to bring a valid military ID, we cannot service you without it. Only ONE time slot will be given to choose gifts for ALL of your children.
We ensure that we have a great selection of toys from the first day of shop days to the last. Don't worry, regardless of the day you are assigned, there will be a great selection in the workshop for you to choose from!
Spouses may shop without their soldier.

You must shop at your designated time. We will only reschedule in a case of emergency.
Children are NOT ALLOWED in the shopping area, so please make arrangements to shop without them. If there is absolutely no other option, we have a small area for children to wait with a few toys and books. Due to space constraints we ask that you do not bring strollers or wagons into the Workshop.
