Meet the Owner
Hi! My name is Natalie Larman, and I’m the owner of Natalie’s Holiday Shops. I’ve been spreading holiday cheer in the school store industry for over 15 years—and I still love it just as much as day one!
I was born and raised in a small town in Oklahoma, and after graduating from East Central University with a business degree, I packed up my big dreams and moved to Oklahoma City to start my business. What began with just a handful of schools has grown into serving thousands of schools across the United States—a journey I’m incredibly proud of.
I’m passionate about offering on-trend, high-quality gift items, and I’m a total tech lover too. That’s why I invest heavily in our state-of-the-art, user-friendly online register system, making holiday shops easy, smooth, and stress-free for everyone.
A little bit about me outside of work: I’m married and a proud mom of three amazing kids. When we’re not working, you’ll find us at a softball field cheering on our oldest daughter or running from activity to activity with our two younger kiddos—life is busy, loud, and full of fun!
We can’t wait to work with your school this year and help create a holiday shop experience everyone will love!

Meet The Team
From product selection and logistics to customer support and program management, our team works year-round to ensure every holiday shop runs smoothly. We understand that most holiday shops are volunteer-led, and our role is to provide structure, clarity, and responsive support at every stage.
Seth Larman
Chief Operating Officer
Hi! I’m Seth, the guy behind the scenes making sure the magic actually makes it to your school on time. As COO, I run logistics and keep our warehouse operating like a well-oiled (holiday-scented) machine.
Organization is what I take pride in. Every box is tracked. Every shipment is monitored. Every deadline is taken seriously. In fact, in all our years of operation, we’ve NEVER had a holiday shop not show up on time. That’s a record I’m pretty proud of!
My mission? Make sure every team member understands that a smooth warehouse = happy schools, happy families, and holiday magic delivered right on schedule.
If you have shipping questions this year… chances are, you’ll be talking to me! And trust me — I’ll know exactly where your boxes are.
