Ready for Drop Off

You've priced, you've entered, you've tagged, you've conquered that!!  Now it's time to get ready for drop off!  The following checklist will help you prepare for your scheduled drop off!

Please have your items organized into these catgories.  The best way to organize the above categories would be by box, or garbage bag, for smaller amounts grocery bags work great, or you can bring in your own totes and there will be laundry baskets for you to empty into. If they are already organized by box or garbage bag you can just leave them in the box/garbage bag and drop them on the table category....Quick Quick Quick Also note: There will be volunteers to help with questions

Bedding, Bath, Feeding (yes these three get grouped together): Sheets, Blankets, Loveys, Swaddlers (if bagged), Baby Carriers, Car Seat Covers, Grocery Cart Covers, Baby Gear (non-oversized), Diaper Bags, Bath Toys, Towels, Health/Safety Items (Outlet Covers, Child Proof Locks, Etc.), Diapers, Wipes, Dinnerware, Cups, Utensils, Breast Pumps, Breast Pump Accessories, Potty Seats, Nursing Items, Bottles, Bibs, Burp Cloths

Clothing:  Please bundle by size, You can group together by size in various ways...You can Garbage Bag size together, which is my personal favorite, you can rubber band size together, or get creative if you want to box by size thats great too :)  Just note the boxes will stay :)  Sellers have also used string, ribbon, twine...all great ideas :) 

A few notes on Clothing:

• All infant and child size clothing size 5 and smaller MUST be placed on a child size hanger.
• Use adult hangers for size 6 and up. Some size 6 items may need to be on a child hanger if the adult hanger is too big.
• All pants MUST be safety pinned to the top two bars of the size appropriate hanger.  We will accept (although we do not recommend) the "clip" pant hangers.  We will not accept the pant hangers that you "slide" the pants into.
• All clothing including onesies, sleepers, infant pants etc. must be hung on a hanger.  We will not accept clothing in bags.
•  All clothing is hanging so that the hanger forms a “?” as you are looking at it from the front.
• All sizing markers on hangers are marked off with permanent marker.
• All tags are placed in the upper right hand of clothing (as you are looking at the front of the item) or if you are using a tagging gun, the price is attached to the tag in the collar or under the right arm (as you are looking at it).
• All clothing is organized by size and gender

A few notes on Misc.

• All bags are securely taped closed so that pieces do not become separated.
• All pieces and parts are securely fastened together so that they do not become separated.
• All battery operated items have working batteries… we will be checking before placing on the sales floor.  The dollar store sells cheap batteries if you need some.
• If you bring your items to drop off before completing these final preparations, please be prepared to spend a few extra minutes at drop off to make sure your items meet the above checklist!
