Thanksgiving week sneaks up on small shops. One minute you are still taking regular orders. Then the phone rings with a “Are you open tomorrow?” and you wish your window already said the answer.
So this post is a checklist, not a sale kit. Last week we covered curb-to-counter sale signs and packaging. This week we focus on holiday hours, pre-orders, gift cards and thank-yous. After that, we add a light nod to Small Business Saturday on November 28.
Best of all, every item works the same way. You upload your company logo, and you’re done. In fact, there is no design class and no long call with a print shop.
Why a Holiday Hours Sign Beats a Last-Minute Text
Shoppers hate a locked door with no note. Staff hate fielding the same hours question all week. A clear holiday hours sign on the glass solves both problems before the rush starts.
Two dates still matter for planning. Black Friday is Friday, November 27, 2026. Small Business Saturday is the next day, November 28. In fact, the U.S. Small Business Administration lists Small Business Saturday on that date and calls it part of the busiest shopping season for small shops.
A quick note on prices: Sales change prices often, so we say “from” a price. Always check the live price on the product page. Also, yard stakes are sold separately when you need one.
Part 1: Tell People Your Hours and Order Window
Start here in mid-October if you can. Signs and clings print to order, so shipping time matters more than the design step.
1. Thanksgiving Holiday Hours Window Cling
This Thanksgiving Holiday Hours logo window cling puts your hours at eye level on the glass. Your logo sits with the hours, so the note feels like your shop, not a sticky printout.
It’s from $11.30. Put it up before the first “are you open?” call of the week.
2. Closed Thanksgiving Day Yard Sign
Some shops close for the holiday. If that is you, say it early and say it outside. This Closed Thanksgiving Day logo yard sign tells drivers you are closed for the day and when you reopen.
It’s from $25.05. A clear closed sign protects your team and still looks like your brand at the curb.
3. Now Taking Thanksgiving Orders Yard Sign
Cafes, bakeries, delis and caterers live on pre-orders in November. This Now Taking Thanksgiving Orders logo yard sign turns the curb into your order desk. People see the deadline while they still have time to call.
It’s from $25.05. Order it while you still have calm mornings to write your cutoff dates into the design.
4. Now Taking Thanksgiving Orders Window Cling
Not every shop has a lawn. In that case, the window does the work. This Now Taking Thanksgiving Orders logo window cling matches the yard sign message for strip-mall and Main Street glass.
It’s from $11.30. Pair both if you can, so walkers and drivers get the same line.
5. Thanksgiving Food Drive Yard Sign
A food drive is goodwill that also brings people to your door. This Thanksgiving Food Drive logo yard sign invites neighbors to drop off cans while they shop.
It’s from $25.05. Use it if your shop partners with a pantry or chamber drive this month.
Part 2: Gift Cards and Thank-Yous That Keep Cash Moving
Hours signs stop confusion. Gift cards and thank-yous keep cash flow and goodwill going through December. For example, a gift card sold in November often comes back as a January visit.
6. Holiday Gift Cards Available Window Cling
People forget you sell gift cards until they see the words on the glass. This Holiday Gift Cards Available logo window cling makes the offer hard to miss for last-minute shoppers.
It’s from $11.30. Leave it up from Thanksgiving through Christmas week if gift cards are part of your plan.
7. Holiday Gift Certificate With Your Logo
Paper certificates still work for walk-in buyers who want something to hand over. This Holiday Gift Certificate with your company logo looks like a real gift, not a receipt.
It’s from $3.02. Keep a short stack by the register for the shopper who asks at 4:55 p.m.
8. Thanksgiving Thankful for Your Business Thank You Card
Big clients notice a short handwritten note. This Thanksgiving Thankful for Your Business logo thank you card gives you a warm front and room for one real sentence inside.
It’s from $3.07. Send a few to the accounts that kept you busy all year.
9. Custom Company Logo Thank You Card
After Thanksgiving, you still need a year-round thank-you. This custom company logo thank you card drops the holiday line and keeps your logo front and center.
It’s from $3.07. Use it for December client gifts, staff notes or a simple “thanks for the referral.”
10. Happy Thanksgiving Logo Stone Coaster
Coasters are the client gift people actually keep on a desk. This Happy Thanksgiving company logo stone coaster puts your logo under every coffee cup after the meal is over.
It’s from $13.05. Order a small bulk set for top clients, then keep a few for counter use. Prefer a plain look you can gift all year? The custom logo sandstone coaster from our earlier kit still works.
Part 3: A Light Finish for Small Business Saturday
Once Thanksgiving week is set, look one week ahead. Small Business Saturday is Saturday, November 28, 2026. You do not need a full new sale kit if you already built one. Still, one cling and one yard sign keep the day visible.
11. Small Business Saturday Sale Window Cling
This Small Business Saturday Sale logo window cling puts the day’s name on the glass the night before. Shoppers who plan a local Saturday stop will see you first.
It’s from $11.30. Swap it in after your Thanksgiving hours cling comes down, or place it beside the gift-card cling.
12. Shop Local Small Business Saturday Yard Sign
For the curb, this Shop Local Small Business Saturday Sale logo yard sign softens the sale line with a neighborhood feel. It works well next to the door while your hours and order signs do the weekday work.
It’s from $25.05. Put it out Friday afternoon so Saturday morning traffic already knows you are open for the day.
Order Timeline: What to Buy When
Here is a simple order plan. First, in mid-October, order hours, closed and orders signs so shipping is not a scramble. Next, in early November, add gift-card clings, certificates, thank-you cards and coasters. Finally, a week before November 28, set out your Small Business Saturday cling and yard sign.
Before you check out, look at the delivery date Zazzle shows for your address. If the date feels tight, pick faster shipping or order sooner. After that, the hard part is over, because your logo is already uploaded.
Your Checklist, in One Afternoon
You do not need all 12 items. Still, even four of them change the week: a holiday hours cling, an orders sign, a gift-card cling and a thank-you card. Together they tell people when you are open, how to order, how to buy a gift and how much you appreciate them.
