Last weekend, we had the absolute pleasure of setting up shop as a vendor at the Rise + Shine Market in Winchester, and wow—what a day it was! From the moment we arrived, the energy was vibrant, the creativity inspiring, and the community support heartwarming.
A Sweet Success
The day was a big win for Buggy Box Co.! We were thrilled to see so many new faces—over 50% of our shoppers were first-time customers. It’s always such a joy to introduce families to our themed craft and activity bags, designed to make screen-free fun easy and accessible. By the end of the event, we had completely sold out of four of our most popular bags! It was incredible to see how excited people were about our mission to spark creativity and connection in little ones.
Connections That Matter
One of the highlights of the day was connecting with other vendors and catching up with familiar faces. This event always feels like more than a market—it’s a celebration of local talent and creativity. Kate, the powerhouse behind the Rise + Shine Market, truly has a gift for curating a thoughtful and inspiring collection of vendors. From handmade goods to one-of-a-kind treasures, it was impossible not to shop (and yes, we picked up a few goodies ourselves!).
Why We Love Events Like These
Being part of events like Rise + Shine is so much more than selling our products. It’s about meeting the families who share our love for hands-on creativity, chatting with fellow small business owners, and feeling the incredible support of a community that celebrates local makers. As a small, women-owned business, these moments mean the world to us.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, supported our little business, or even just shared a smile or a kind word. It’s because of YOU that Buggy Box Co. continues to grow and thrive.
We can’t wait for the next Rise + Shine Market and hope to see even more of you there next time! Until then, happy creating!
