We have used a company called KIPP to order a lot of our Carnival and Santa's Workshop stuff. I need to see how their prices compare with the web sites listed in this discussion but I like them. Their web site is www.kippbro.com if you want to take a look.

Rhode Island Novelty also has lots of good prizes at low prices. They're at www.rinovelty.com.

We have never used Oriental Trading because they cost too much - most things I order from the closeout sites cost between $.05 and $.10 each some even lower than that...and they are good things...some valentine glider planes, captain planet clutch pins, mini frisbees, sticker sheets, mini reptile beanies, stovepipe hats (these were $.25), pokemon markers, etc. take a look and you will we have also bought many things for our Sock Hop, Teacher Day, etc. from these sites...

Oriental Trading is another place you can try.

Have I got some websites for you - I do my school's carnival and we purchase 200 prizes each for over 35 midway games - so we by a lot...my favorite places are closeouts and liquidators and here are some really good ones...

Save On Closeouts

H & J Liquidators

Surplus City Wholesale

Hope this helps you - I got all of my prizes between these three web sites, they have great stuff!!

We might try to do our own funraiser instead of a catalog one, but we still wanted to reward the kids as usual. Can anyone tell me where we can get the rewards like the catalog companies reward. Where do they get mass items like that with out it costing a fortune? Thanks for all of your help. This board has been great for getting and giving ideas!!! :confused: [img]tongue.gif[/img]
