Kids Gently Used Clothing, ThredUP Review and Giveaway!

Shortly after having my son, I realized quickly how fast kids outgrow their clothes.  He was growing so fast that half the time, he didn’t wear what was in his closet.  Or if he did, it was only one time.  A friend of mine introduced me to used clothing stores for kids where I could sell back items and buy gently used items with what I sold back (or I could just take the cash…which I did sometimes!).

My kids may be older now, but I still shop for used items for them.  You wouldn’t believe how many items I get brand new with the tags on for a fraction of the price!  But with our busy schedule, it’s not always easy to get to the consignment store.  So when I found out about ThredUP, an online consignment shop, I had to learn more!

The totally awesome thing about ThredUP is that they will purchase your gently used items to list on their site for people like you and me to purchase.  They have all different kinds of brands on their site from Old Navy, Gymboree, to Puma and so many more!  They also have shoes!  Which, for parents of young babies, you know that purchasing a pair of shoes is kind of a waste since they don’t really need them, but they look so cute with their outfits!  So why not buy them used where you know they will be in excellent shape and save a ton of money while you’re at it?!?

You can also sell your clothing to ThredUP.  For $4.95, they will send you a bag to fill up and send back to them (they cover the shipping)!  However, if you are ordering clothes at the same time as requesting a bag, they will waive the fee for the bag!

I had the opportunity to pick out a few things for the kids…check out what I got:

The clothes arrived quickly, wrapped up nicely in a box (with bubble wrap, which was a huge plus to the kids!) and once I started pulling the clothes out, I could tell that ThredUP really takes the time to look through the clothing they sell to make sure they are in mint condition.

My lovely friends at ThredUP would like one lucky reader to win a $25 gift code to use their site!  Read below for details!
