Tickles and Giggles Children Consignment

Prepare Items For Sale

The better it looks, the better it sells.
Check for stains, broken zippers, torn hemlines, etc. We will be double checking at the sale and will not accept any item that is not in great condition. Use children's hangers. Plastic and wire-coated hangers can be purchased at discount stores (Wal-Mart, Target, etc.). This makes shopping more pleasant for everyone! All clothing should be placed on hangers!
All shorts, pants and skirts must be pinned to a hanger. **Do not pin bottoms to tops as this causes holes. Using a safety pin, pin the bottom to a hanger. Use rubber bands to connect hangers together for sets and pin accessories securely to the items. All pieces need to be viewable without unpinning them! Pants that are not being sold in a set should be pinned to the top portion of the hanger or use a pants hanger.
Place a piece of masking tape with your consignor number inside the garment along the hemline. This helps us quickly return items to the floor should a tag be lost.
Hanging: When hanging clothing items on a hanger, the hanger should be facing left. It should look like a question mark (?) when you are looking at the front of the item. (Hangers will not be returned after the sale.) Attach pants, skirts and accessories to the hanger with safety pins. Hangers will be sold with the item.

It is best to package a bedding set together in a large, clear plastic Ziploc bag or the original packaging.
Attach tag to the outside of the bag using packing tape.
To help the item sell, tape pictures of the bedding to the outside of the bag.

Shoes must be in excellent (like new) condition.
Clean laces and use shoe polish.
Shoes should be in 1.) Ziploc bags with your tag attached securely with packing tape to the outside of the bag or 2.) securely connected with cable ties running through the eyes of the shoes.

Furniture and equipment sells best when it is assembled.
Please bring any tools required if you would like to assemble your item. If not, tape a Ziploc bag containing any and all hardware or pieces and the instructions to the item. Please use painters tape so the item is not damaged when the baggie is removed.
Due to the large amount of recalls, we are not accepting drop-sided cribs for consignment.
Write your consignor number and item number on every Ziploc bag.

If the books are small enough to bundle in a gallon Ziploc bag, tape the top of the bag and tape the tag on the OUTSIDE of the bag. If the books CANNOT fit in a gallon bag, we suggest painters tape to adhere the tag to the book. Many times when the tag is taken off, the tags will rip the cover of the book. We suggest these solutions to prevent damage to the book.

Place rattles, bows, loose toys, etc. in Ziploc bags and tape tag to the OUTSIDE of Ziploc bag. Tape the bag shut with clear packing tape. We recommend placing a small piece of paper with your consignor number written on it inside the bag before taping the bag. If the tag becomes separated from the bag, this will help us identify the item and return it to the sales floor more quickly.
Toys must be clean and in working order with batteries, if required for operation. Small pieces should be in a Ziploc bag, taped closed, & attached to the toy. Please also write your consignor number on the bag. Use lots and lots of tape! Tape the tag to the outside of the bag. We recommend using masking or painters tape to attach accessories to toys.
Games should also be taped closed and have all the pieces. Please check the games as we cannot check them during drop off. Puzzles, books, and small toys should be grouped accordingly and put in Ziploc bags with consignor number written on the bag. Secure with clear packing tape and tape tag to the outside of the Ziploc bag.
DVDs, CDs, computer software, electronic games, etc. should be in their original cases. Homemade recordings are illegal and will not be accepted.
