One system for gift stock, personalised orders, hampers, cards and parcels.
Manage gift shop stock by occasion, counter sales, personalised orders, hampers, gift cards, maker consignment and parcels in one system. Each personalised item carries its wording and due time from the counter to the print bench, and each hamper carries the stock of its parts. Staff see the same record at the till and in the back room.
- Item list, occasions and hamper recipes entered the way you sell
- Gift card balances and open orders brought across
- Print bench job types and wrapping charges set with your staff
Gift shops run counter sales, personalised orders, hampers, gift cards and maker consignment in Gift Shop Management Software, which GullySystem configures for the shop. Items are tagged by occasion, and each personalised job carries its wording, approval and due time. Hampers draw stock from their parts. Parcels are packed from the order with a card message and a courier booking.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Receiving and tagging
Stock arrives from import suppliers and local makers. Every parcel is opened beside its delivery note, and each piece gets a price label plus tags for birthdays, weddings or festivals.
- 2
Sale at the counter
The item is scanned, a gift receipt is offered and wrapping is added as a charge. If the customer wants a name or date on it, a personalisation job is opened at the same moment.
- 3
Approval and bench
The wording is shown to the customer for approval. The job then reaches the print or engraving bench with its due time, and the sale shows it as pending.
- 4
Hamper and parcel packing
A hamper is built from its parts and its stock is taken from each. Parcels are packed from the order with the card message, and the courier booking is noted.
- 5
Cards and consignment
Gift cards are issued and redeemed against numbered records. Consignment sales are added to each maker’s statement as they happen.
- 6
Season close
At season end the slow lines are marked down and listed for the next buying plan. Makers’ unsold pieces are listed for collection.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Point of Sale Billing
Items are scanned, wrapping is added as a charge, and a receipt without the price goes in the bag for the recipient.
- Product Management
Every candle, frame and mug has one record with colour variants, supplier and the occasions it sells for, so buying follows what sold.
- Barcodes and Labels
Shelf tags and price labels print for new stock and again after a markdown, each carrying a code the counter reads.
- Stock Tracking and Alerts
Pieces on display, in the back room and held for orders are counted separately, and a low frame or ribbon raises a reorder alert.
- Order Management
An order keeps the engraved wording, the proof the customer approved and the due time, from the counter through the bench to collection.
- Loyalty and Offers
A numbered card holds a value that any counter can redeem in part, and returning customers earn points on each purchase.
- Vendor Management
Each local maker has a record of pieces left, pieces sold and money owed, beside the import suppliers the shop orders from.
- Shipping Integration for Order Fulfillment
A packed parcel gets a courier booking and a tracking reference stored on the order, ready to answer when the recipient asks.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For owners
Owners read sales by occasion, slow lines close to markdown, hamper margins and the balance owed to each maker.
For counter staff
Sell, wrap, open personalisation jobs and issue or redeem gift cards. Check whether a hamper can be built before promising it.
For bench staff
Work through the day’s approved jobs in due-time order. Mark each item ready so the counter can call the customer.
For buyers
Plan orders from last season’s sales, raise purchase orders to suppliers and record what makers have left on consignment.
For packers and dispatch
Pack parcels with the right card message, book the courier and mark each order as sent.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Sales and margin by occasion and by item group
- Personalised jobs due, late and awaiting approval
- Hampers built, hamper margin and components short
- Gift card balances, redemptions and expiries
- Maker consignment statements with amounts owed
- Slow lines by markdown date
- Parcels sent, by courier and delivery date
Who this is built for.
- Independent gift shops with a print or engraving bench
- Shops that build hampers and sell wrapped gifts for events
- Stalls and kiosks in malls that sell cards, toys and keepsakes
- Boutiques that stock work from local makers on consignment
- Gift shops that take phone, message and web orders for delivery
When it is not the right choice.
- A market stall with a few dozen items can run on a cash box and a notebook.
- Shops whose main trade is flowers, books or jewellery will find Florist Flower Shop Management System, Bookstores Management Software or Jewellery Retail Management Software closer.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Can it handle personalised mugs, glass and cushions?
Yes. The wording, font choice and date are captured at the counter and shown for approval. The bench sees the job with its due time, and the sale stays open until the piece is ready.
How is a hamper priced and stocked?
A hamper recipe lists its parts. The price comes from those parts plus the basket and wrapping. Selling one lowers the stock of every component.
Can gift cards be used at more than one till?
Yes. Each card is a numbered record with a balance. Any counter on the system sees the same figure, and a lost card can be blocked.
Can a gift receipt hide the price?
Yes. A gift receipt shows the item and a return reference without the price. The recipient can still exchange against it.
How are consignment makers paid?
Each maker has a statement built from sales of their pieces. You review it, agree any adjustments and pay outside the system. Unsold pieces are listed for collection.
Does it work for a shop with one counter?
Yes. One counter still has hampers, cards and bench jobs to follow. Extra counters or a second shop can be added later.
Can it take orders from a web page or messages?
Staff key in phone and message orders with the recipient’s details, but a public web order page is separate work that we can scope with you. Both start from the same order record.
Can our current item list be loaded?
Yes. The item list, prices, suppliers and gift card balances come in from your spreadsheet. Your staff check a sample before the system goes live.
What happens to the records if we stop?
Items, orders, cards and maker statements remain yours. How they leave the system is settled in writing before any work begins.
