How to Stretch Your Shopping Dollars
Shopping consignment truly is the most economical and savvy way to shop for your children. Why shop at department stores and malls and pay more for 'no-name' clothing when you could have Tommy Hilfiger or Gymboree for less and support local shops and small business owners?
All of our items have been hand selected to ensure that they are flawless, top quality, name brand items that we can be proud to sell. We accept only items that show little or no signs of wear and are in like new condition. Many of our items are brand new with tags still on them, but are priced way below retail.
Whether buying for your own family, a friend or for a special gift, we're confident that you'll be pleased with our selection, quality and low prices. Shopping at the Baby Bin Boutique is guaranteed to give your kids a stylish and trendy brand name wardrobe at prices your wallet will thank you for!
What to Do with Unsafe Items
If you have something you’re concerned isn’t safe, destroy it – dismantle it and take it to the city dump. If you have something that could be useful and you know is safe, such as a car seat, some charities will accept used car seats to be inspected and then given to needy families.
The Baby Bin Boutique is happy to accept and donate these items on your behalf at any time. Just give us a call so that we know when to expect you! #487-4687
Finally- please keep in mind that The Baby Bin Boutique carries a great selection of current brand name baby gear, clothing, educational toys and books.
We take the guess work out of the equation for you when consigning and or buying these essential items from us. Feel confident knowing that we have checked all items for recalls for you prior to placing them on our sales floor- after all we are parents too!

Hello to all of our BBB fans! It's been a long, hard COLD winter, and I'm excited and anxious for warmer temperatures, and to see you all again at the store. We understand that it can be difficult get out with your little ones when it's way below freezing out there, but we encourage you to bundle up and make the trip down to see us soon! We will not let the weather, nor the tough economic times get us down, if anything these tougher times have taught me to focus on the positive- and that's YOU- our loyal customers. We have revamped our store to give you the best possbile retail experience around, and filled the store with the coolest products, fashions, accessories and gear so that each time you stop by there is something new to show and tell you about. Please remember that we encourage and look forward to seeing not just you, but your little ones as well. We enjoy hearing the sounds of all of little BBB shoppers playing in our play area while you relax in our shop. We value the friendships we have made through the shop over the years, and look forward to hearing your latest news. It can be a little scary when we hear of so many of our fellow small business owners talk about the reality of these harsh times, but I always take comfort in the fact that the BBB has the best customers around- and we thank you for supporting us through it all.

We are excited with the growth our little shop has seen over the past 2.5 years, and anticipate 2009 to be our best year yet!! Finally- wanted to share an article with you...something I feel strongly about......
Shopping local and independent sounds nice, but we CANADIANS like to save a buck. We like convenience. And, judging from the proliferation of big box chains, we like consistency. So why go out of our way to ‘shop-local-first’? It goes like this: when you spend your dollars at an independent, local business, you keep more money in your hometown—supporting your community’s social services, schools, your public library and local non-profits. How so? Locally-owned businesses return about 80% of each dollar to their community. And each dollar spent at a local business will return up to five times that amount within your community through city taxes, employees’ wages, and purchases of materials, supplies and services at other independent businesses. Chains and franchises, on the other hand, contribute roughly 40%, and as little as 20% of sales back to your community. And many big boxes, such as Walmart or Toys R Us, are given tax-incentives by local governments—costing you far more than the discounted price you think you’re paying. Ever wonder why you can’t find a particular product in the national stores? Well, most national chains like the look of “sameness” from one store to the next. They can’t have their ear to the ground and their roots in the community, in the same way as mom n’pop shops. So the choice is made not to place these sought- after locally made products in their stores . When you make your purchases at independent, businesses you’re supporting people and services in your community, not corporations that all-toooften (but not always, thankfully) exploit natural resources and people for the good of the bottomline and their shareholders. Now, most of us make purchases at a national store of some sort. But if we just make most of our purchases from businesses that are local, if we make the conscious decision to support our own community, more good things will happen to the town where we live. And where we live is pretty important. Why? I like where I live. It has a character and a uniqueness that tourists swarm to because guess what? They come here for the unique, independent businesses—not the conventional stores they could find in any indoor mall. The storefronts are unique, the coffee shops are different, and the merchandise is as varied as the locals who own and stock them. Independent businesses house independent minds that make different choices based on their creative, ear-to-the-ground mindset. And it is these choices that make a community interesting, diverse and attractive. Thanks for supporting us! Jenn and the staff of The Baby Bin Boutique! |

We are now accepting spring clothing /accessories, and baby gear.
Check our consignment page for updates and more details!
I swear, it's not just because we've had a few warmer days that we are accepting Spring items for consignment. I know we still have plenty more of the white stuff ahead of us! However, our customers shop ahead for their kids, and they're looking for spring stuff now, so that's what we're filling the racks with.
We have taken a limited selection of very summery stuff for those of you looking for clothing and "sunny accessories such as UV sun hats, and chemical free baby sunscreen and bathing suits for your little ones for trips to sunny destinations (you lucky things).
However, most of what we are accepting now is Spring. We're looking for denim, and spring jackets and jeans, light knits, capris, three quarter length sleeves, and Spring themed-clothing such as Easter dresses and little suits.
We're all done with snowsuits, boots, winter-themes, fleece lined pants, and will be accepting those items again in the fall.
We are introducing new inventory daily- so make sure you stop by for your weekly visit to check out all of the fantastic finds we've brought in for you!!
