Ziptie the pair together or put in a large ziplock if necessary.

No summer sandals or flip flops (unless name-brand) accepted in the Fall/Winter sale.

WE WILL NOT ACCEPT SHOES WITH SCUFFED TOES, DIRTY OR DISCOLORED SOLES.

It is best to package a bedding set together in its original clear plastic bag with zipper. Large ziploc bags can also be purchased to keep bedding clean and together. They sell the XL bags at the dollar stores.

Use a safety pin to attach the string tag to the sheet. Label any bedding set with everything that is included and the size.

Blankets & Swaddles

We do not accept handmade/crochet blankets. Hang and pin blankets over hangers so that shoppers can see them. If they are small receiving blankets, we suggest grouping 2 or 3 together on a hanger and pinning them together. You may safety pin the tag to the blankets.

Loose Items

Bottles, bibs, rattles, socks, bows, etc group together appropriately in ziploc bags. Seal with clear packing tape. Pin tag to ziploc bag. It also helps to write your consignor number and info on the ziploc with a Sharpie in case the tag comes off during the sale. **Note: we do not sell used nipples for bottles. Remove them before sealing bags.**

Puzzles, books, videos and small toys should be grouped accordingly and put in ziploc bags. Secure with clear packing tape and pin tag to the ziploc bag. It is also good to write your consignor number and info on the ziploc bag with a Sharpie in case the tag comes off. Puzzles should be wrapped securely in clear Saran wrap to keep the pieces intact. TOYS NOT PACKAGED APPROPRIATELY WILL BE TURNED AWAY.

We will only accept Disney or other name brand stuffed animals in like new condition.
