Birthdays At Oodles
Be sure to sign up for our Birthday Club.
Who doesn't love to get mail? Especially fun mail for your Birthday! Sign up for your birthday club and every year during the month of your birthday, you will receive a 'Happy Birthday!' postcard in the mail. Bring it in any time to redeem for $10 at Oodles Kids. The catch is you must spend it all (sorry, no change given) but there is no expiration date and you get to choose! Want to buy something that costs more than $10? You may apply it as a discount towards that item. In the past, this has been targeted towards kids 12 and younger, but we've realized that's silly. There's always something for every age in our store, and we all love getting mail (that's not a bill). So this program is open to everyone who lives locally. For this instance, you need a mailing address in Oregon or Washington.
Balloon on your Birthday.
Please let us know if you come in to Oodles Kids on your actual birthday! We would love to give you a free Helium Balloon! Allergy or sensory issues? How about a sticker. We would lover to acknowledge you and say "Happy Birthday!"
Create a Birthday Bucket.
Come into Oodles Kids within 2 weeks of your birthday (or birthday party) and create a Birthday Bucket. Fill your bucket with a variety of items you would love to receive, and help our your friends and loved ones with some tips on what to get you. With some exceptions, this essentially "reserves" your favorite items for people to buy for you. In the event that an item is purchased online for someone else before someone buys it for you, we cannot guarantee it is reserved. But we do prohibit shopping from birthday buckets for other people, so we do our best!
Birthday Buckets Online.
Now, we are offering a Birthday Bucket online registry! We will upload your birthday bucket online (with your permission.) Now, relatives in another town, or friends in a hurry, can order gifts from your birthday bucket. You can let us know if you would rather us ship the gifts to you, or select in-store pickup and gather the gifts at once. We can have them wrapped and ready to go. Easy for everyone, and you have the satisfaction of supporting a local business.
This is also a great option if you would like to request gifts far in advance or for holidays. Because buckets by design tend to "reserve" items, we can't hold them indefinitely or during the high demand time of the holidays. Online registries are perfect for this, as items can be sold and listed as out of stock and you can keep it up to date.
