I would suggest choosing 2 or 3 of these items - perhaps posters, socks
and flip-flops? I wouldn't go way overboard. Also, you haven't listed
t-shirts - I assume that there will be some adult tees? I don't think
we'd sell 100 towels, so I'd drop that item. Similarly, I'm not sure
we'd sell 20 ties or 500 keyrings.

Not so sure... children's shoe sizes are tricky & we don't want to have
to keep stock.

These look great! White is fine.

Depending on the price... I'd buy a couple, but they'll probably be too
expensive for me :)

Sounds fine too.
