Dear all Here in Southampton we have been selling birthday cards, local history books, key rings, postcards etc and other items produced by the Council and other suppliers for some time. As long as the staff are trained,and you use a till so that all income can be allocated properly , I don't think there are many problems. You may also need to set up a system of some sort for re-ordering stock and accounting for it.
