Welcome to Kidstock
 Children's Resale Store
 

A baby is born with a need to be loved, and never outgrows it.
- Frank A. Clark

What they do outgrow, however, are their clothes!

 
Greetings!
Kidstock is proud to welcome you as a customer!  Thanks for your support during our opening weeks.  We have a lot planned in the coming months -- sales, promotions, and lots of great deals on kids' gently used clothing, books, toys, and games. 
 
Please visit our website at www.kidstockla.com for detailed information about us.  While there, you can also "friend" our Facebook page, which will have updated information on a regular basis.
 
Make sure you bring in the coupon at the bottom of this newsletter on your next visit.  We look forward to seeing you soon!
 
 
Designer Labels at Deep Discount
 
We know that some of you shop resale purely for great deals and others shop for great deals on designer labels.  And of course, some of you shop for a hybrid of those two!
  
Watch this area for a listing of recently hung labels in our store.  Just in the last 48 hours, we have hung summer items from the following designers.  The sizes vary and it is mixed between boys and girls, but all these labels have crossed our pricing gun (which broke under the pressure, btw!):
 
Baby Guess, Juicy, Jacadi, Ralph Lauren, Papo d'Anjo, Paul Frank, Janie and Jack, flora and henri, Oilily, D&G Junior, BCBC Max Azaria,
 Baby Nay, Sweet Ivy, Tommy Hilfiger, and Calix.

Inventory changes every day, sometimes every hour!   Our "Red X" sale is still going on -- 50% off on any tag with a red "X" on it.  And our "$1 Green Dot" rack changes every day as well.   

 
Reminders and Notes!
 + As of June 28, we can take credit cards!  Thanks to all of you who were cash-ready during the past several weeks.  We are accepting Visa, Mastercard, and debit cards for purchases over $20 only.  (No AmEx, please.)
 
 + As part of our commitment to the environment, we will ask you at time of sale whether you require a bag for your purchase.  Kidstock would like to encourage you to bring in your own reusable bags, if possible.
 
+ Kidstock hosts shopping days that allow your organization to make money!  Please see our website for details at www.kidstockla.com.
 
+ Kidstock has brand new, soft and beautiful cuddle quilts already wrapped and ready to go in the store.  These unique handmade baby blankies are perfect for a shower present or newborn gift.  This is one item at Kidstock that is not resale and probably never will be because the gift recipient will love it to death!  Thanks to Jen at Get Qute for providing these pre-wrapped, grabbable gifts for us.
 
+ Our hours will be changing as of July 1.  We will be open Monday through Saturday 10-6, and closed on Sunday. 
 
+ Bringing in items for resale:  We know that some of you are anxiously awaiting the go-ahead to bring in bags of gently used and nearly new clothing and kid items.  We anticipate that we will be ready to accept inventory in the middle of July.  As of the beginning of July, we can accept boys pants sizes 6 and up.  Please call before you bring in large items such as strollers, bouncies, and high chairs to ascertain if we are able to accommodate them. 
If you are excited about shopping at Kidstock, please tell your friends, relatives, and neighbors about us.  Call them, text them, forward this email, post on your favorite parenting site, or send a smoke signal.  We know that the most important recommendation comes from you! 
 
Sincerely,
 

The Kidstock Team -- Leslie, Melna, Tony, and Jenny

Kidstock Krafters Korner
Kidstock Krafters and Boredom Buster Korner 
Plate Bubbles!  Put a squirt of dish soap on a regular plate.  Add water to just below the rim of the plate.  Use a straw to blow bubbles in the water.  See how many bubbles you can get on the plate, or if you can just blow one big bubble.  (Hint:  for easy clean up, put a dish towel under the plate!) (Ages 3-99; boys and girls.  Caution with kids under 3 as they may suck up the water instead of blowing out, which won't be so much harmful as taste really bad!) 
Krafters, Bordom Busters, and Other Fun Ideas.  Submit an idea at info@kidstockla.com and, if we use your Krafter or Buster in another newsletter, we'll give you $5 store credit!  Your Buster should appeal to both boys and girls and should include an appropriate age range.  Use "Krafter or Buster" in your subject line.
