Product Spotlight: Street Vendor Cart

Post by Danielle Kurtz, Creative Director at The Land of Nod

From a very young age, I should’ve known I was destined for a career in retail. I’ve literally been coming up with shop ideas my whole life. Let’s see, there was the painted rocks shop I setup in my front yard. There was the time my sister and I recorded a cassette tape of ourselves singing We are the World and tried to sell copies to our neighbors, boy I hope those have all been destroyed. There were countless Saturdays spent with my best friend turning her parents’ spare bedroom into a clothing boutique, complete with signage, price tags and compelling visual displays. Honestly, how did I not know someday I’d be designing real stores as my job?

So, needless to say, I’ve past some of that entrepreneurial spirit onto my daughter, Lottie. Which is exactly why our Street Vendor Cart is at the top of my list for her this holiday. This thing is bananas, and I would’ve gone crazy for it as a kid. Sure, a cardboard box is effective, but when you have a kid that’s constantly creating retail scenarios, you may want to opt for something more permanent.

The cart comes with an awesome chalkable awning, complete with a bevy of signage options. And, some blank ones so you can create your own. It’s also made to be indoor-outdoor. So, lemonade stand in the front yard during the summer, craft bazaar in the living room during winter break. Can you tell I’m obsessed with this product? I just hope Lottie let’s me get in on the fun of bringing some more retail dreams to life!
