Santa Claus is Coming to The Collective!

We’ve been keeping a little Christmas magic under wraps, and today we’re finally ready to share!

Santa is coming to The Collective, and we’re creating a special Storybook Christmas experience for families to enjoy this holiday season!

Beginning November 14, Santa will be making several appearances throughout November and December in our cozy, book-inspired Christmas setting. Bring the kids, their Christmas wish lists, and your cameras for a little holiday magic.

Here’s the best part!

Visiting Santa is completely FREE! You’re welcome to take your own pictures, or we’ll capture the moment and print a special 4×6 keepsake photo for just $5.

We want this to be an affordable, memorable experience for families in our community. Whether it’s your little one’s first Christmas or a tradition you’ve celebrated for years, we hope you’ll make The Collective part of your holiday memories.

While you’re here, browse our boutique for unique Christmas gifts, stocking stuffers, books, and plenty of surprises for everyone on your list.

Santa’s full schedule is included in the flyer, so save it, share it with your friends, and start planning your visit!

We can’t wait to welcome you to A Storybook Christmas at The Collective!

After yesterday’s cold, windy, rainy weather, who else is ready to get out of the house?

We’ve got two ways to shop The Collective today!

Our storefront in Goldsboro will be open from 12–5, and we’re also taking our mobile boutique out to Odom Farm Goldsboro NC for their Fall Festival from 10–4!

There will be lots of local vendors, hayrides, a pumpkin patch, and plenty of fun for the whole family. Sounds like a pretty good way to spend a fall afternoon if you ask us!

So grab a friend, bring the kids, and come see us. Whether you stop by the store or find us out at the farm, we’d love to see you!

📚💕 MEET OUR NEWEST EMPLOYEE: ALLISON!

She’s 4 months old, has absolutely no retail experience, and insists on being carried during her entire shift. 😂

Her qualifications?
📖 Excellent at judging books by their covers.
💕 Specializes in adorable distractions.
☕ Requires frequent milk breaks.
💤 Occasionally sleeps on the job.

She’s currently in charge of our Book Lovers Department, where we’ve stocked the cutest book-themed gifts for all our fellow readers!

Her performance review is pending, but we’re pretty sure she’s already Employee of the Month. 🏆

Stop by The Collective, check out our bookish goodies, and help us welcome little Allison to the team!

P.S. Management says she’s not allowed to work the register until she can sit up on her own. 😂
