Specialty Shops and Consignment Sales Offer Unique Finds for Kid Gear
I love it when I read about a cool kid’s item online and then find it in one of my favorite local shops. Buying local is very important to me so I always seek out my kids stuff around town before taking to an online retailer.
And I’m even more thrilled when I can find that name brand item in almost new condition at a local mom-2-mom sale. Score! I’ve found Bogs, American Girl, Bum Genius, and more.
If you want to experience the thrill of the find, check out these popular shopping venues around Grand Rapids, as voted on by our readers.

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that there are several updates that should be made for this list for Spring 2021.
West Michigan Mom’s Sale at the DeltaPlex will NOT be taking place.
Thornapple MOPS Sale is cancelled.
I could not find any information about a sale for the Orchard Hill Mom sale this year.
Regarding the Grand Rapids Mothers of Multiples sale, it appears that grmoms.org is no longer an active website. So the link is no longer helpful. However, the “Facebook” link is active and helpful. They are getting creative this year and will be having multiple garage sales at multiple locations May 13-16, 2021.
Sadly, Little Posh consignment closed it’s doors for good in the Spring of 2018.
Thank you! I knew that but forgot to pull them from the list!
