Maybe small storage furniture if the have it there, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-look-for-at-a-consignment-sale#post-1370002 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:10:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1370002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Swimsuits is a great suggestion. I forgot that last spring I got her like 10 swimsuits for like $30. I got a variety of sizes that lasted us the whole summer. </p> <p>Measure the length of the torso with a string or something and cut to length. Then just take the string to the store to check to see if the suits will fit. </p> <p>Also, for shoes you can make a paper cut out of their foot size to guess if shoes will fit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-look-for-at-a-consignment-sale#post-1369744 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:09:53 +0000 Smurfette 1369744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Bring a hamper or something to put clothes in. I have seen tall rolling hampers, hamper with a belt so you can drag on the floor. </p> <p>I would look for summer clothes and toys like Blackbird said. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-look-for-at-a-consignment-sale#post-1369738 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:09:15 +0000 mrs. wagon 1369738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always make a list of exactly what we need, otherwise I get sidetracked!!</p> <p>If I were to attend one TODAY, I'd look for:</p> <p>Swimsuits<br /> Sunhats<br /> Water shoes<br /> booster chair for dining seat<br /> tub toys </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-look-for-at-a-consignment-sale#post-1369725 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:06:54 +0000 mediagirl 1369725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: ohhhh a SLIDE would be awesome!! I'll have to look for outdoor toys. Good idea!<br /> @blackbird: I know exactly what you are talking about. :) I'll look for toys like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-look-for-at-a-consignment-sale#post-1369721 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:05:33 +0000 LuLu Mom 1369721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think outdoor toys, slide, ect. would be good at that age in addition to clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-look-for-at-a-consignment-sale#post-1369711 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:03:39 +0000 blackbird 1369711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stock up on clothes and toys that I think she might like that I would probably not want to buy. This way, if she doesn't like it, i've only spent a few bucks</p> <p>Things like those big plastic toy castles always go super fast and early </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-look-for-at-a-consignment-sale#post-1369706 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:03:10 +0000 mediagirl 1369706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: thanks. It does seem like a harder age to buy things other than clothing. I'll look for books on half price day since we already have so many, but that's a good idea.</p> <p>@MrsH: surprisingly, I think this one is geared more towards summery stuff. The one in July is geared towards Fall/Winter clothes. Not a bad idea, though - we will need a good one next year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-look-for-at-a-consignment-sale#post-1369683 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 09:58:59 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1369683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my DD turned 2 it was such a hard age to look for things for her. </p> <p>I got some art supplies she really liked, like her easel. A baby doll stroller and shopping car she uses all the time (although she still isn't too into the baby doll beds). </p> <p>At that age, getting towards real paper books is good, even books with small words they can start to learn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-look-for-at-a-consignment-sale#post-1369671 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 09:56:40 +0000 MrsH 1369671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coats? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-look-for-at-a-consignment-sale#post-1369660 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 09:53:26 +0000 mediagirl 1369660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter will be 2 this summer. I'm going tonight with a free pass to look for shoes. What else should I look for while I'm there? </p>
