What to sell in consignment stores for the holidays

Earlier this week, we talked about how to make extra money for the holidays by de-cluttering your house.

Well, just like you can spend much less money at the grocery store by shopping seasonally, you can make more money at consignment stores by selling back seasonally appropriate toys, clothes, and potential Christmas gifts!

Here's a quick guide to what you can sell in consignment stores for bigger bucks right now:


  • Christmas type toys
  • Winter clothing for girls and boys
  • Girls tights and leggings
  • Winter coats Gloves and Hats
  • Christmas Dresses
  • Tricycles & Ride on Toys -- these are especially popular Christmas gifts!
  • Maternity Belts/Supports
  • Car Seat Cover (over the top for wind/cold)
  • Changing Tables
  • Changing Table Pads
  • Strollers
  • High Chairs & Booster Chairs
  • Walkers
  • Infant & Toddler Car Seats
If you plan on cleaning out your library or media cabinet, Christmas or holiday-themed books, CDs, and DVDs always fetch more this time of year as well.  

For San Antonio readers, here are a few kid-friendly consignment stores around town you should check out: WeeWorld, Rose Cottage Children's Resale, Kid to Kid, and Sweet Repeats.  

I always recommend calling ahead before you bring your stuff in to get directions, hours of operation, and to double-check that the store is accepting consignments that day.
