What We’re Looking For Right Now (High-Demand Secondhand Items)
Y’all have been amazing — truly. Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your ongoing support while we navigate this busy season. Your secondhand shop is shaped entirely by what you bring in, and right now there are a few categories families are hunting for every single day:
✔ Fleece bunting suits (all baby/toddler sizes)
✔ Snowsuits — always needed, always selling
✔ Winter boots (all sizes; especially sizes 9–1)
✔ Soft-sole winter booties like Stonz, MEC booties, Reima booties
✔ Wool booties (Padraigs, Emu, etc.) in 6–24M
✔ Boys’ knit Christmas sweaters, especially 3–8Y
✔ Sleepers, especially 12–24M boys
✔ Soft pants (neutral/boys’ cuts in 18M+)
✔ Boutique brands — always popular, always welcome
Still Overloaded:
Please hold off on bodysuits & leggings in 0–12M, as we’re overflowing in this category.

❄️ A Note on Snowsuit & High-Ticket Pricing
Snowsuits are one of our most-requested categories — and one of the most challenging to price. We’re always trying to strike the right balance between:
✨ giving shoppers the best bang for their buck
✨ supporting consignors with a fair return
If you have a sense of what your high-ticket items are worth, please leave a note in your bag or mention it at drop-off. It really helps, especially with brands we don’t see often, and it opens up the honest pricing conversations that keep secondhand fair for everyone.
