We began in 1932 as one of the nation's first wholesalers of value-priced novelties and gifts.

In the 1980’s, our first toll-free telephone number and seasonal catalogs brought continued growth. As the Internet grew in popularity in the late 1990’s, we found a new way to reach its ever-growing number of customers. Today, the company continues to serve customers through colorful catalogs and the Internet. We offer more than 40,000 products to meet the needs of businesses, not-for-profit organizations, individuals, schools, churches and teachers.
