Reading with your children - Gently Used Books

Most of you already know BabyOutfitter is a great source for quality gently used children's clothing at afforable prices. But, did you know that we also offer gently used Children's books as well? We feel very strongly about reading to/with younger children. The benefits of spending one on one time with your children, learning and sharing about the stories is absolutely one of the best gifts you can give your children. Books are expensive - especially the trendy ones.

We have made it our mission as of late to pursue a greater selection of stories, characters and themes in our book department. We have focused on toddler tough carboard books for the younger kids and some wonderfully illustrated story books for the older ones.

Yesterday we posted over 25 gently used children's storybooks in amazing condition. You can check them out here www.babyoutfitter.com/index.php?cPath=36. We've priced them affordably - most of them are between $1.99-$3.49. Those are incredible savings over cover / retail prices.

With hectic schedules and dual income families, mom's are busy these days. Many of our books are shorter in length but still offer the same opportunity to share a book with your little cuddlebug. Give them a hug and read to them today!

Home Sweet Office

After about six months of moving pieces, shifting inventory, installing shelving and storage, we are finally ready to call our cute little office HOME. (Well, our home away from home I should say.)

We've had customers ask us if we are a home based business. Well that answer is - yes and no. I started BabyOutfitter.com nearly five years ago, running it out of my home and garage (storage area). Over the years, we've grown so much that operating the business out of my home was becoming more and more difficult. There were new additions everywhere...toys, books, clothes, shoes...you get the picture.

We decided that in order to continue to grow the business and maintain family sanity, the best move to make would be getting an office or similar facility to house the inventory and provide a decorating excuse we like to call "the office." So all in all it was a win/win. We found an office that was perfect for our needs less than a mile from the house...and I had a reason to shop for, dare I say, something besides baby items. (Insert Shocked Face Here)

Today I thought I would start a little tour of our facility with our front door. We thought it might be fun to share some more behind the scenes pictures and stories in the upcoming posts. So stay tuned....

Until next time -

We're Listing Today..and listing...and listing...

Happy Tuesday to everyone!

Here's a couple of the items we have listed on the site today. We're loading both boy and girl items today in most sizes. The stacks seem to be never-ending! Good for all of you...not so good for our typing fingers.

We've been working since this morning matching photos and getting the items in so they are available for purchase. We'll check back in later. Back to work.

New Changes to Item Pictures

We are trying out some new features with the photos within our listings. The goal is to have the pictures reflect a better a quality image of the items. We are confident that the process will allow you all to get a better - more up close - look at each and every item. After all, since you can't touch and feel the items, you want the best look at them you can get, right?

You may notice that we did try out the blue background on some of our listings. Well, you voiced your opinion and we have to say that we agree. So, we will be sticking with the white backdrop. We feel it represents the true color of each item and is much easier on the eyes. If time permits, we will go back and retake those images with the white backdrop.

So, going forward, we'll be taking extra special care to ensure that the photos listed on the site are the best possible quality we can provide. Thanks for being such amazing customers and helping up become the biggest and best children's resale site on the net!

Drowning In New Inventory - Send Help!

Well, we're kidding about the sending help part. But, not about the drowning part...we are up to our ears in new items.

We took a few minutes out of process today to snap a few photos to give all of our customers a little sneak peak at our incoming inventory for this month. We have both boy and girl items for every size, books, toys, shoes and accessories to load. Lots of adorable dresses and tons of shorts and summer items - just in time!

As most of you are already aware of, we take great care in washing and preparing our items to list. Each and every items is laundered, pressed if need be, checked for any "issues" such as spots, stains, missing snaps/buttons, rips, etc.

Want to keep up to date on the newest listing? Make sure to subscribe to our blog for the most current notifications of new inventory and fantastic discounts!
