Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Sep. 30, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	-1	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Basis of Presentation
	CSS Industries, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “CSS” or the “Company”) has prepared the consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the statements include all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) required for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
	On September 9, 2011, the Company and its Cleo Inc (“Cleo”) subsidiary sold the Christmas gift wrap portion of Cleo’s business and certain assets relating to such business, including certain equipment, contract rights, customer lists, intellectual property and other intangible assets to Impact Innovations, Inc. (“Impact”). Cleo’s remaining assets, including accounts receivable and inventory, were excluded from the sale. The assets, liabilities and cash flows related to the Christmas gift wrap business are presented as current assets and liabilities of discontinued operations. The results of operations for the three- and six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, as well as the accompanying notes, reflect the historical operations of Cleo’s Christmas gift wrap business as discontinued operations. The discussions in this quarterly report are presented on the basis of continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.
	The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. References to a particular fiscal year refer to the fiscal year ending in March of that year. For example, “fiscal 2014” refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Nature of Business
	CSS is a consumer products company primarily engaged in the design, manufacture, procurement, distribution and sale of all occasion and seasonal social expression products, principally to mass market retailers. These all occasion and seasonal products include decorative ribbons and bows, boxed greeting cards, gift tags, gift wrap, gift bags, gift boxes, gift card holders, decorative tissue paper, decorations, classroom exchange Valentines, floral accessories, Easter egg dyes and novelties, craft and educational products, stickers, memory books, stationery, journals, notecards, infant and wedding photo albums, scrapbooks, and other gift items that commemorate life’s celebrations. The seasonal nature of CSS’ business has historically resulted in lower sales levels and operating losses in the first and fourth quarters and comparatively higher sales levels and operating profits in the second and third quarters of the Company’s fiscal year, which ends March 31, thereby causing significant fluctuations in the quarterly results of operations of the Company.

	On September 5, 2012, the Company and its Paper Magic Group, Inc. (“Paper Magic”) subsidiary sold the Halloween portion of Paper Magic’s business and certain Paper Magic assets relating to such business, including certain tangible and intangible assets associated with Paper Magic’s Halloween business, to Gemmy Industries (HK) Limited (“Gemmy”). Paper Magic’s remaining Halloween assets, including accounts receivable and inventory, were excluded from the sale. Paper Magic retained the right and obligation to fulfill all customer orders for Paper Magic Halloween products (such as Halloween masks, costumes, make-up and novelties) for the Halloween 2012 season. The sale price of $2,281,000 was paid to Paper Magic at closing. The Company incurred $523,000 of transaction costs (included within disposition of product line further discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements), yielding net proceeds of $1,758,000. The Company is liquidating the remaining assets and satisfying the liabilities throughout fiscal 2014.
	Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
	Translation adjustments are charged or credited to a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are not material and are included in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Judgments and assessments of uncertainties are required in applying the Company’s accounting policies in many areas. Such estimates pertain to revenue recognition, the valuation of inventory and accounts receivable, the assessment of the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible and long-lived assets, income tax accounting, the valuation of stock-based awards and resolution of litigation and other proceedings. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets including Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated authoritative guidance in September 2011 to amend previous guidance on the annual and interim testing of goodwill for impairment. The guidance became effective for the Company at the beginning of its 2013 fiscal year. The guidance provides entities with the option of first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined, on the basis of the qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two step impairment test would still be required. The first step of the test compares the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill, as of the date of the test. The Company uses a dual approach to determine the fair value of its reporting units including both a market approach and an income approach. We believe the use of multiple valuation techniques results in a more accurate indicator of the fair value of each reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step is performed. The second step compares the carrying amount of the goodwill to the implied fair value of the goodwill. If the implied fair value of the goodwill is less than the carrying amount of the goodwill, an impairment loss would be reported. Annual impairment tests are performed by the Company in the fourth quarter of each year. The adoption of this updated authoritative guidance had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 7 for further information on goodwill and other intangible assets.
	Other indefinite lived intangible assets consist primarily of tradenames which are also required to be tested annually. The fair value of the Company’s tradenames is calculated using a “relief from royalty payments” methodology. Long-lived assets (including property, plant and equipment), except for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. If such asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group.

	Inventories
	The Company records inventory when title is transferred, which occurs upon receipt or prior to receipt dependent on supplier shipping terms. The Company adjusts unsaleable and slow-moving inventory to its estimated net realizable value. Substantially all of the Company’s inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market. The remaining portion of the inventory is valued at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market. Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when the goods are shipped, title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer and collection is reasonably assured. Provisions for returns, allowances, rebates to customers and other adjustments are provided in the same period that the related sales are recorded.

The purchase price was $7,500,000, of which $2,000,000 was paid in cash at closing. The remainder of the purchase price was paid through the issuance by Impact of an unsecured subordinated promissory note, which provides for quarterly payments of interest at 7% and principal payments as follows: $500,000 on March 1, 2012; $2,500,000 on March 1, 2013; and all remaining principal and interest on March 1, 2014. All interest and principal payments due through September 30, 2013 were paid timely. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company received a $2,000,000 principal payment in advance of the March 1, 2014 due date. As of September 30, 2013, the note balance of $500,000 was recorded in other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Business Restructuring	-3	BUSINESS RESTRUCTURING
	On March 27, 2012, the Company combined the operations of its Berwick Offray and Paper Magic subsidiaries in order to drive sales growth by providing stronger management oversight and by reallocating sales and marketing resources in a more strategic manner. Involuntary termination benefits were offered to terminated employees under the Company’s pre-existing severance program. The Company recorded approximately $706,000 in employee severance charges during fiscal 2012 and made payments of $523,000 and $116,000 in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The final restructuring payment of $13,000 was paid in April 2013. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, there was a reduction in the restructuring accrual of $54,000 related to severance costs that were less than originally estimated as certain employees under the plan did not receive the expected amount of severance. The charges associated with this restructuring plan are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

	On September 5, 2012, the Company and its Paper Magic subsidiary sold the Halloween portion of Paper Magic’s business and certain Paper Magic assets relating to such business, including certain tangible and intangible assets associated with the Halloween portion of Paper Magic’s business, to Gemmy. Paper Magic’s remaining Halloween assets, including accounts receivable and inventory, were excluded from the sale. Paper Magic retained the right and obligation to fulfill all customer orders for Paper Magic Halloween products (such as Halloween masks, costumes, make-up and novelties) for the Halloween 2012 season. The inventory remaining after the Halloween 2012 season has been reduced to its estimated net realizable value. The sale price of $2,281,000 was paid to Paper Magic at closing. In connection with the sale, the Company recorded charges of $5,368,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, consisting of severance of 49 employees of $1,282,000, facility closure costs of $1,375,000, professional fees and other costs of $1,341,000 ($523,000 were costs of the transaction) and a non-cash write-down of assets of $1,370,000. Additionally, a portion of the goodwill associated with the Paper Magic reporting unit was allocated to the business being sold. Such allocation was made on the basis of the fair value of the assets being sold relative to the overall fair value of the Paper Magic reporting unit. This resulted in the Company recording a reduction of goodwill in the amount of $2,711,000 for the Paper Magic reporting unit. There was also a non-cash charge of $1,266,000 related to the write-down of inventory to net realizable value which was recorded in cost of sales.
	During the year ended March 31, 2013, the Company made payments related to the restructuring of $1,901,000. Additionally, the Company reduced the restructuring reserve by $210,000 during fiscal 2013, primarily due to sub-lease income that was greater than originally estimated. During the three- and six months ended September 30, 2013, the Company made payments of $358,000 and $937,000, respectively, primarily related to facility costs and severance. During the six months ended September 30, 2013, there was a reduction in the restructuring accrual of $396,000 related to costs that were less than originally estimated. As of September 30, 2013, $456,000 of the remaining liability was classified in other current liabilities and $98,000 was classified in long-term obligations in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and will be paid through December 2015. The Company is liquidating the remaining assets and satisfying the liabilities through December 2015.

	Under the terms of the Company’s 2004 Equity Compensation Plan (“2004 Plan”), which expired on July 30, 2013 upon approval of the 2013 Plan, the Human Resources Committee could grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock grants, stock appreciation rights, stock bonuses and other awards to officers and other employees. Service-based options outstanding as of September 30, 2013 become exercisable at the rate of 25% per year commencing one year after the date of grant. Market-based stock options outstanding as of such date will become exercisable only if certain market conditions and service requirements are satisfied, and the date(s) on which they become exercisable will depend on the period in which such market conditions and service requirements are met, if at all. Market-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) outstanding at September 30, 2013 will vest only if certain market conditions and service requirements have been met, and the date(s) on which they vest will depend on the period in which such market conditions and service requirements are met, if at all. Subject to limited exceptions, service-based RSUs outstanding as of September 30, 2013 vest at the rate of 50% of the shares underlying the grant on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. Given that the 2004 Plan is now expired, no further grants may be made under such plan.
	The fair value of each market-based stock option and each market-based RSU granted under the above plan was estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model with the following average assumptions:


			Stock Options						RSUs
			Six Months Ended						Six Months Ended
			September 30,						September 30,
			2013			2012			2013			2012
	Risk-free interest rate			0.84	%		0.72	%		0.66	%		0.58	%
	Volatility			52.27	%		54.75	%		40.47	%		57.9	%
	Dividend yield			2.04	%		3.15	%		2.04	%		3.15	%
	The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $11.06 and $7.27, respectively. The weighted average fair value of restricted stock units granted during the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $20.51 and $14.78, respectively.
	2011 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors
	Under the terms of the Company’s 2011 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (“2011 Plan”), non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 150,000 shares of common stock are available for grant to non-employee directors at exercise prices of not less than fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Under the 2011 Plan, options to purchase 4,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are granted automatically to each non-employee director on the last day that the Company’s common stock is traded in November of each year from 2011 to 2015. Each option will expire five years after the date the option is granted and options may be exercised at the rate of 25% per year commencing one year after the date of grant. At September 30, 2013, 121,000 shares were available for grant under the 2011 Plan.
	As of September 30, 2013, there was $1,630,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years. As of September 30, 2013, there was $1,766,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.
	Compensation cost related to stock options and RSUs recognized in operating results (included in selling, general and administrative expenses) was $516,000 and $504,000 in the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1,008,000 and $914,000 in the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts in order to reduce the impact of certain foreign currency fluctuations on sales denominated in a foreign currency. Derivatives are not used for trading or speculative activities. Firmly committed transactions and the related receivables may be hedged with forward exchange contracts. Gains and losses arising from foreign currency forward contracts are recorded in other income, net as offsets of gains and losses resulting from the underlying hedged transactions. A realized loss of $16,000 and $9,000 was recorded in the three- and six months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. A realized loss of $6,000 was recorded in the three- and six months ended September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, the notional amount of open foreign currency forward contracts was $3,192,000 and $5,131,000, respectively. The related unrealized loss was $13,000 and $91,000 at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We believe we do not have significant counterparty credit risks as of September 30, 2013.

Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Intangibles	-7	GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES
	The Company performs an annual impairment test of the carrying amount of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. Additionally, the Company would perform its impairment testing at an interim date if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill or intangibles might be impaired. In connection with the sale of the Halloween portion of Paper Magic’s business on September 5, 2012, a portion of the goodwill associated with the Paper Magic reporting unit was allocated to the business being sold. Such allocation was made on the basis of the fair value of the assets being sold relative to the overall fair value of the Paper Magic reporting unit. This resulted in the Company recording a reduction of goodwill in the amount of $2,711,000 for the Paper Magic reporting unit in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. As the sale of the Halloween portion of Paper Magic’s business was a triggering event, the Company performed an interim impairment test on the goodwill remaining in the Paper Magic reporting unit after the reduction in goodwill associated with the sale of the Halloween portion of Paper Magic’s business was recorded. The Company determined that no impairment existed for the remainder of the goodwill of the Paper Magic reporting unit.

	Recurring Fair Value Measurements
	The Company uses certain derivative financial instruments as part of its risk management strategy to reduce foreign currency risk. The Company recorded all derivatives on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value based on quotes obtained from financial institutions as of September 30, 2013.
	The Company maintains a Nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for highly compensated employees and invests assets to mirror the obligations under this Plan. The invested funds are maintained at a third party financial institution in the name of CSS and are invested in publicly traded mutual funds. The Company maintains separate accounts for each participant to reflect deferred contribution amounts and the related gains or losses on such deferred amounts. The investments are included in other current assets and the related liability is recorded as deferred compensation and included in other long-term obligations in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the investments is based on the market price of the mutual funds as of September 30, 2013.
	The Company maintains two life insurance policies in connection with deferred compensation arrangements with two former executives. The cash surrender value of the policies is recorded in other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and is based on quotes obtained from the insurance company as of September 30, 2013.
	To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the FASB established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
	The Company’s recurring assets and liabilities recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
	Level 1 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.
	Level 2 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets and pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
	Level 3 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
	The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 (in thousands):

	Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reflected at carrying value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as such amounts are a reasonable estimate of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
	Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
	The Company’s nonfinancial assets which are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and certain other assets. These assets are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis; however, they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence that impairment may exist. In making the assessment of impairment, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to future net cash flows estimated by the Company to be generated by such assets. If such asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. Assets to be disposed of are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or estimated net realizable value.
	Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are subject to impairment testing on an annual basis, or sooner if circumstances indicate a condition of impairment may exist. The valuations use assumptions such as interest and discount rates, growth projections and other assumptions of future business conditions. These valuation methods require a significant degree of management judgment concerning the use of internal and external data. In the event these methods indicate that fair value is less than the carrying value, the asset is recorded at fair value as determined by the valuation models. Accordingly, these fair value measurements fall in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy described above. As of September 30, 2013, there were no indications or circumstances indicating that an impairment might exist.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	-11	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU 2012-02”), which amends existing guidance by giving an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If this is the case, a more detailed fair value calculation will need to be performed which is used to identify potential impairments and to measure the amount of impairment losses to be recognized, if any. To perform a qualitative assessment, an entity must identify and evaluate changes in economic, industry and entity-specific events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed by the Company for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s future indefinite-lived intangibles impairment tests.
	In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2013-01”). This update is intended to improve the comparability of statements of financial position prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards, requiring both gross and net presentation of offsetting assets and liabilities. The new requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. As this guidance only affects disclosures, the adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”). This update requires disclosure, either on the face of the statement where income is presented or in the notes to the financial statements, of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income in their entirety. For amounts not reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about these amounts. ASU 2013-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. As this update only requires enhanced disclosure, the adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2013-11”), which requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, or similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward, rather than as a liability when (1) the uncertain tax position would reduce the NOL or other carryforward under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction and (2) the entity intends to use the deferred tax asset for that purpose. ASU 2013-11 does not require new recurring disclosures. It is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-11 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company has condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the statements include all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) required for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
	On September 9, 2011, the Company and its Cleo Inc (“Cleo”) subsidiary sold the Christmas gift wrap portion of Cleo’s business and certain assets relating to such business, including certain equipment, contract rights, customer lists, intellectual property and other intangible assets to Impact Innovations, Inc. (“Impact”). Cleo’s remaining assets, including accounts receivable and inventory, were excluded from the sale. The assets, liabilities and cash flows related to the Christmas gift wrap business are presented as current assets and liabilities of discontinued operations. The results of operations for the three- and six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, as well as the accompanying notes, reflect the historical operations of Cleo’s Christmas gift wrap business as discontinued operations. The discussions in this quarterly report are presented on the basis of continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.
	The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. References to a particular fiscal year refer to the fiscal year ending in March of that year. For example, “fiscal 2014” refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.

Nature of Business	Nature of Business
	CSS is a consumer products company primarily engaged in the design, manufacture, procurement, distribution and sale of all occasion and seasonal social expression products, principally to mass market retailers. These all occasion and seasonal products include decorative ribbons and bows, boxed greeting cards, gift tags, gift wrap, gift bags, gift boxes, gift card holders, decorative tissue paper, decorations, classroom exchange Valentines, floral accessories, Easter egg dyes and novelties, craft and educational products, stickers, memory books, stationery, journals, notecards, infant and wedding photo albums, scrapbooks, and other gift items that commemorate life’s celebrations. The seasonal nature of CSS’ business has historically resulted in lower sales levels and operating losses in the first and fourth quarters and comparatively higher sales levels and operating profits in the second and third quarters of the Company’s fiscal year, which ends March 31, thereby causing significant fluctuations in the quarterly results of operations of the Company.

	On September 5, 2012, the Company and its Paper Magic Group, Inc. (“Paper Magic”) subsidiary sold the Halloween portion of Paper Magic’s business and certain Paper Magic assets relating to such business, including certain tangible and intangible assets associated with Paper Magic’s Halloween business, to Gemmy Industries (HK) Limited (“Gemmy”). Paper Magic’s remaining Halloween assets, including accounts receivable and inventory, were excluded from the sale. Paper Magic retained the right and obligation to fulfill all customer orders for Paper Magic Halloween products (such as Halloween masks, costumes, make-up and novelties) for the Halloween 2012 season. The sale price of $2,281,000 was paid to Paper Magic at closing. The Company incurred $523,000 of transaction costs (included within disposition of product line further discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements), yielding net proceeds of $1,758,000. The Company is liquidating the remaining assets and satisfying the liabilities throughout fiscal 2014.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions	Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions	Translation adjustments are charged or credited to a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are not material and are included in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Judgments and assessments of uncertainties are required in applying the Company’s accounting policies in many areas. Such estimates pertain to revenue recognition, the valuation of inventory and accounts receivable, the assessment of the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible and long-lived assets, income tax accounting, the valuation of stock-based awards and resolution of litigation and other proceedings. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets including Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets including Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated authoritative guidance in September 2011 to amend previous guidance on the annual and interim testing of goodwill for impairment. The guidance became effective for the Company at the beginning of its 2013 fiscal year. The guidance provides entities with the option of first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined, on the basis of the qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two step impairment test would still be required. The first step of the test compares the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill, as of the date of the test. The Company uses a dual approach to determine the fair value of its reporting units including both a market approach and an income approach. We believe the use of multiple valuation techniques results in a more accurate indicator of the fair value of each reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step is performed. The second step compares the carrying amount of the goodwill to the implied fair value of the goodwill. If the implied fair value of the goodwill is less than the carrying amount of the goodwill, an impairment loss would be reported. Annual impairment tests are performed by the Company in the fourth quarter of each year. The adoption of this updated authoritative guidance had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 7 for further information on goodwill and other intangible assets.
	Other indefinite lived intangible assets consist primarily of tradenames which are also required to be tested annually. The fair value of the Company’s tradenames is calculated using a “relief from royalty payments” methodology. Long-lived assets (including property, plant and equipment), except for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. If such asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group.
Inventories	Inventories
	The Company records inventory when title is transferred, which occurs upon receipt or prior to receipt dependent on supplier shipping terms. The Company adjusts unsaleable and slow-moving inventory to its estimated net realizable value. Substantially all of the Company’s inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market. The remaining portion of the inventory is valued at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market. Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU 2012-02”), which amends existing guidance by giving an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If this is the case, a more detailed fair value calculation will need to be performed which is used to identify potential impairments and to measure the amount of impairment losses to be recognized, if any. To perform a qualitative assessment, an entity must identify and evaluate changes in economic, industry and entity-specific events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed by the Company for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s future indefinite-lived intangibles impairment tests.
	In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2013-01”). This update is intended to improve the comparability of statements of financial position prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards, requiring both gross and net presentation of offsetting assets and liabilities. The new requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. As this guidance only affects disclosures, the adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”). This update requires disclosure, either on the face of the statement where income is presented or in the notes to the financial statements, of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income in their entirety. For amounts not reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about these amounts. ASU 2013-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. As this update only requires enhanced disclosure, the adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2013-11”), which requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, or similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward, rather than as a liability when (1) the uncertain tax position would reduce the NOL or other carryforward under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction and (2) the entity intends to use the deferred tax asset for that purpose. ASU 2013-11 does not require new recurring disclosures. It is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-11 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
