A huge selection of consignment kids' items at great prices. Really great prices. Hilfiger baby…read moredress for $12? Yes, please! NWT Gymboree sweater dress for $12 but tag reads $42.95? Yes, please! I love browsing the amazing selection and great prices here, with adorable shoes and coats and other accessories, plus new and gently-used books about and for babies and kids, and - right now - Halloween costumes! The ice cream cone costume almost stole my heart right then and there... I always, always find something to buy here, and by "something" I mean a whole set of whatever (dress/sweater/shoes). It takes careful browsing, but I generally only have to pick up a coordinating onesie or something like that to pull together yet another adorable outfit for my baby niece. There is also a play area in the back for kids to amuse themselves while you shop (very smart idea there!). October Challenge 24/31

You can't help, but smile when you walk into this store. From the cute little bean sprout window…read moregates in front, to the colorful little onesies on the racks. This place is a great place to find something special for your little girl or guy in your life. The clothes are trendy and have a price tag to go with it. The good thing is, they have a consignment section so the prices are drastically reduced.

This is a really great, very small children's new & used clothing store on the Main Street stroll…read more The owner has a great eye. Used items are very nice & fit "the look" of the store - which I would describe as unique, well-made, and colourful. I love the lack of stereotypical pinks & blues - traded in for a softer, earthier, more casual looks for kids of both genders. Items are really well organized for easy shopping. Prices in general are very good, but the used items are a particularly great deal. Beansprouts even carries high quality, gently worn shoes. I think you could easily walk out of here with a very nice used outfit for under $20 CAD. The only drawback might be that Beansprouts is for the size 6x and under set - my daughters, 9 & 11, were disappointed none of the offerings would fit them. I was disappointed I couldn't find anything for my 7 year old son - though I'm sure he wasn't!

I can appreciate that their items are made from sustainable fabrics, but the prices are a little on…read morethe high side. Maybe if I loved the styles more, I can justify it and perhaps if they had a sale. Then again, everyone has different styles since my friend just loved this store. The sales person never once greeted me as well, but they seemed nice and could have been really busy. She worked with a smile on her face, I like that.

12 months later and my love affair with this little shop stands…read more Last week, I was walking the Make It Festival when the infamous Karen jumped into the aisle in front of me. Not only did she remember me (i've bumped into her a few times at the shop, but not more then a handful) but she was still the incredibly energetic, totally genuine ball of sunshine that made me RUN home to pen that first review back in January. And so, as a tip of the hat to my top service ninja of the year, I thought it be best to share some new findings at Two of Hearts: 1. Karen has a jewellery line that she sells at the shop! Go buy it and support local crafters and an all around rad person! ...I don't remember the name, because I took a business card and had her write down the specifics on a few pieces. Such organization obviously means I will lose said card within 24 hours. I do however have a note that says: "Sounds like the muppets song Mahna Mahna." Because i'm an adult. So I will take that to the Twitterverse for further investigation. Stay tuned. 2. Hats!! If you are looking for the most fabulous fall hat, go check out the Andre felt hats from Montreal. I debated over mine last January and it is singlehandedly my second favourite purchase of the year (it's tough to compete with the Fiat...) They are an excellent price (under $100), made in Canada and just classic, beautiful pieces. But if you buy the red one in the window before, I will get mad at you. Bonus points: you can't even find this line online for a better price. Tip of the hat 2ofH. 3. Bags! I have beat the s%&t out of my bag over the year - every day, dual laptop wielding and it has survived. Definitely looking a bit worse for wear, but it's held up far better then I expected, considering the price point is so reasonable. Right now, they have super awesome colours like hot pink mailbags & bright red clutches. It's a rainbow money suck! 4. Still with the awesome people. Karen isn't an anomaly here. Honest to gosh, i've had nothing but the most fabulous service every time i've gone in. Everyone who works here is all sugar & spice. ...I still have yet to find any actual clothing that fits me properly here... but I don't care. Great accessories & fab people will keep this place as a go to. *** Meiku Designs!!! ... not even close.

You wouldn't really notice it if you walked by (the window area isn't that bright so it's easy to miss if you walk by quick. But it's definitely worth checking out. I popped in here a month ago. And it was quite a nice store. Staff was also friendly but didn't greet you when you walked in. More like as you passed them on the way out. But. It's not a huge store. A walk around is 40 seconds. 2 mins if you're browsing the actual items. Expected visit length is 10 mins?

Dragon & Phoenix is a very special place. I have been a customer and account-holder for years…read more When I moved, I (very briefly) considered trying to find a new consignment store closer to me. However, after considerable research, including encountering, for example, exorbitant "cleaning fees" and other unfriendly contract terms at other stores, my search confirmed what I had really known all along: Dragon & Phoenix is a warm and friendly place full of warm and friendly people - people who want your side of the consignment relationship to be as rewarding as theirs. This store is a class act and a Kerrisdale gem.

I often make Peekaboo my first stop when I have to buy a gift for a baby shower or newborn's arrival. The clothing is all colourful and cute, and the staff is always on hand, willing and able to help you with sizing and choosing that perfect piece for baby.

Peekaboo focuses on clothing and toys; stocking basic infant needs, toddler fashion, quality shoes,…read morewinter and rain gear, and more. You'll find clothing brands like Quiksilver/Roxy, Zutano, Under the Nile, Hatley and Le Petit Lem, just to name a few. The store itself is small, but makes good use of its space, with separate girl and boy sections, as well as being organized by size (age). There is a growing selection of organically sourced clothing, as well as Continental or European made toys, for those wanting options outside of the standard "Made in China". Though these were still the minority last time I was there. The staff offers multiple services, including baby shower registration, personal shopping, call-backs on out of stock items, and gift wrapping (This is no longer free, but is a nominal charge), as well as being very well versed in the product. They will constantly try to help you, as management trains and requires staff to take a classic personalized service experience. Some people prefer this, others find it pesky, but it's going to happen. They do know the product very well and are very helpful with suggestions if you need something for a gift, but know nothing about the child in question. A couple things that are not carried: cribs, bottles, diapers, and car seats. Peekaboo shares an owner with Splash Toys, just two doors down.

They were both hand made and super soft The service alone is worth supporting a small business especially when they have super cute things it's worth the dollar spent. I'm not a big dept store shopper I really can't stand going in over crowded places that are just full to the rim with crap. Small stores that offer great quality things is my kind of spot. They have more than just baby and kids clothes they also have mom clothes and supplies u need before during and after the little one comes along! If you're around and expecting or someone is expecting that you know def a place to pop into to find something worth ur while Plus they have some blocks to keep ur kids busy while u shop Enjoy!!
