It's Tipsy Tuesday! For most of us, the kids are off between Christmas and New Years so it can be a hard time to get your items organized and tagged for the sale season. Here is a tip I learned from Laura L., a great consignor, volunteer & shopper...get your kids involved!!
Kids are getting new clothes and toys at this time of year so have them help you clean out what they currently have to make room for the new. Put your old things away in bins or bags by season and size. If clothing or toys have missing pieces, tears, stains, etc. put them in the recycle bin now! They should only be sold or donated to organizations that can recycle them in a useful way.
Have your kids help you by going through their toys/clothes and pulling out what they no longer use or want. Can you encourage them to help you by earning a few dollars on these things? What a great lesson to teach your kids at a young age!
I have three kids so I find my kids to be super helpful when it comes to sorting through their books. From the oldest to the youngest, what my oldest no longer wants he passes down to his 2 siblings and eventually my youngest has this HUGE pile of books!! I know that I can go through his books each season (he's too little to do it on his own) and pull out a bunch for resale!
Having your kids help you can be tricky because often time they discover a new found LOVE for a toy that haven't played with in ages! This can be good because it brings life to an old toy, but usually by the next day they have forgotten about it and then it "somehow" ends up in the sell pile! :)
