Finders Keepers is a community-powered pop-up gift shop where kids and teens get to pick out real gifts for someone they love — styled like a boutique, stocked entirely by neighbors.
Every item is donated new, displayed beautifully, and free for the taking. Shoppers browse with their adult if they’re 5th grade and younger, on their own if they’re 6th through 12th, or with one of our Gift Detectives on-site or virtually so caregivers can be surprised. We’ll provide clues in solving the case of finding great gifts, and shoppers leave with a gift bag they’re proud to hand over and a card they’ve made to go with it.
