Well what a brilliant day we had! On Thursday the 8th of December Tig Tag had a big sale day and we sold ALL of our Christmas gift tags that we made!
We were very busy in the morning trying to set up our stall so that it looked nice.
We sold a lot within the first 15 minutes and thought we weren’t going to have enough at one point but thankfully we had just the right amount! We made roughly 350 gift tags however some of the gift tags had 3 tied together so we think we actually made between 400-500 gift tags in total which showed how hard we worked over the last few weeks! (We thought some of the tags were too small or too thin to go by itself so we put ones together to make quality gift tags) We put 6 gift tags in a penny mix bag – this way you could see how good they were without having to open the packet. We should make a special mention to R.S. Hendersons for donating the penny mix bags for us to use. We made labels with our logo on them to put on the front of the bag so that people could see that we made them.
We had 57 packets to sell – 3 of these were hanging on a lovely tree.
We decorated an old branch from a tree so that we could display our lovely gift tags. We painted it with glue then sprinkled glitter all over it, it looked so good that people offered to buy it and we sold it at the end for £20!!
1 packet of 6 gift tags cost £1. Everyone took a turn of selling the gift tags and did a great job. We were very polite and worked well as a team.
When we took our float out and paid our expenses then we were left with an amazing £86.52 profit!
Primary 3 and 4 were able to put what they were learning in Numeracy about money to good use when counting and double counting their money.
We decided as a group that we would like to donate the money we raised to Cancer Research.
We would like to say a big thank you to everyone that came to support us on the day, bought gift tags/the tree and gave a donation. Your support is greatly appreciated!! We would also like to thank primary 5-7 for their help towards the end.
Again, from everyone involved with Tig Tag we would like to say THANK YOU!
