📢 December Consignment Update
In December, we will only be accepting high-demand items:

• Small boxes of boys’ clothing under size 4Y

• Maternity jackets

• One-piece snowsuits

We may have additional requests during the month — these will be shared on Instagram and via email.

Important: December boxes must contain 20 items or fewer. No exceptions.

TL;DR — Consignment at Nest & Sprout

• Drop-offs are one box per month, labeled with your name + contact info
• Choose buyout (20–30%), commission (40%), or donation
• Store credit earns a +10% bonus - I usually round this up to the nearest $5
• Items remain listed until sold or renewed
• After 12 weeks, items may be renewed or bought out at 20%
• Items sitting 6+ months in low-demand categories may be bought out at update pricing and moved to Fill-a-Bag or $1 bins
• We price based on what actually sells, not emotional value
• Clean items sell best — excessive pet hair or odour may reduce payout
• Out-of-season items may be held or donated
• You must request payout — we don’t auto-cash-out
• Inactive accounts (1.5 years) are cleared
• Scroll to the bottom for a digital sign up form; or visit us in store for paper. 

Transparency first. Community always. 💚

Responsibility for Items

Once items are dropped off, they become the responsibility of Nest & Sprout.

• Items not accepted will be:
  

• Donated
  

• Recycled
  

• Passed on, unless you clearly request items back at drop-off
  

• When you choose to end your consignment term:
  

• Unsold items will be bought out
  

• Items requested for return must be picked up within 7–14 days
  

• After this window, items are considered abandoned and will be donated or recycled
  

Item Drop-Offs

• Drop-offs are accepted monthly
  

• Limit: one diaper box or tote (approximately 40 items)
  

• All items must be:
  

• In a contained container. Please put your items in multiple boxes or bags instead of overflowing. 
  

• Clearly labeled with full name
  

• If donating:
  

• Label the box “Donation”
  

• Totes are not guaranteed to be returned — please bring something you don’t need back
  

Drop-offs can be made anytime during business hours.
Items are processed as time allows — immediate buyouts are not offered.
If you have questions, concerns - your main contact is shop owner Bailey Bouwman. She is typically at the store most days, and almost always between 10am and 2pm. Reach out via social media or email to confirm if you need to review something with her.
