Children's Consignment Sales & Events in the Golden Isles

Kids are expensive, y'all. Between the shoes, clothes, toys, sports equipment, and baby gear, it's amazing we have any money left for ourselves.

That's why we love children's consignment sales. These seasonal shopping events bring together gently used clothing, toys, books, baby equipment, and other family essentials, often at a fraction of retail prices.

Rhea Lana's of the Golden Isles

Location: Brunswick, GA (event venue varies)
Event dates: Spring and fall sales; check the official schedule
Website: Rhea Lana's of the Golden Isles

Rhea Lana's is a semiannual children's consignment event where local families buy and sell gently used clothing, shoes, toys, books, baby equipment, maternity items, furniture, and more.

Think of it as a giant shopping event filled with things your kids actually need, without the giant retail price tags.

Items commonly available include:

  • Baby, toddler, and children's clothing.
  • Teen clothing and shoes.
  • Maternity clothing.
  • Baby equipment and nursery essentials.
  • Toys, books, games, and puzzles.
  • Children's furniture and room decor.
  • Seasonal clothing and accessories.

Want first dibs? Rhea Lana's typically offers private presale shopping opportunities for eligible groups and ticket holders before general admission begins.

The event also offers opportunities for families to consign their own gently used items. Check the official website for registration deadlines, seller information, commission details, and shopping schedules.

St. SiMoms tip: Make a list of what your kids actually need before shopping. Otherwise, you'll come home with three adorable outfits, a toy kitchen, and absolutely none of the school shoes you went there to buy.

Check upcoming Rhea Lana's sale dates and consignor registration.

Women's Designer Consignment Stores on St. Simons Island

Consignment shopping isn't just for the kids. Mama deserves a little retail therapy, too!

If you love designer labels but aren't quite as enthusiastic about designer price tags, you'll want to explore the Golden Isles' upscale consignment options.

Whether you're looking for a cute vacation outfit, a special occasion dress, or a designer handbag without the full-price commitment, consignment shopping is a fun way to upgrade your wardrobe.

St. SiMoms tip: When you find something fabulous in your size at a consignment store, don't assume it'll still be there next week. Unlike your children's laundry, the good stuff actually disappears.

Furniture & Home Decor Consignment Stores

Need to refresh your living room without spending your children's college funds? We feel you.

We haven't independently verified this business's current operating status. Confirm that it is open before visiting.

Brunswick Consignment & Resale Shops

Brunswick is another great place to look for secondhand clothing, household goods, furniture, and antiques.

And let's be clear: there's a difference between shopping secondhand and settling for second best. Sometimes the best finds are the ones someone else decided they didn't need anymore.

Cottage Point Consignment

Depending on inventory, consignment shops like this can be a useful stop when you're looking for affordable home goods or something a little unexpected.

St. SiMoms tip: Keep an open mind when browsing secondhand shops. Sometimes you find exactly what you're looking for. Sometimes you find a vintage lamp you didn't know you needed. Both are valid outcomes.

We haven't independently verified Cottage Point's current operating status. Confirm its location and hours before visiting.

Tips for Buying & Selling Consignment in the Golden Isles

1. Shop Seasonal Children's Sales Early

If you're looking for specific clothing sizes, baby gear, or popular children's items, early shopping opportunities may offer the widest selection.

Just remember to check whether presale tickets or special admission requirements apply.

2. Know Your Kids' Sizes

Bring a list of current clothing and shoe sizes, along with the next size up if you're shopping ahead.

Because apparently children don't believe in wearing the same shoe size for more than six weeks.

3. Inspect Secondhand Items Carefully

Check clothing for stains, missing buttons, broken zippers, and excessive wear. For furniture, inspect the condition, measurements, and any damage before purchasing.

When shopping for used baby gear, check current safety standards, recalls, expiration dates, and whether the item is appropriate to purchase secondhand.

4. Ask About Consignment Policies

Thinking about selling your own items? Ask each shop or event organizer about accepted merchandise, commission rates, pricing, pickup deadlines, and what happens to unsold items.

Policies vary, so it's worth doing a little homework before hauling half your house across town.

5. Check Dates and Store Hours

Children's consignment events typically operate for a limited time, and individual stores may change hours or locations.

Always confirm the latest details before visiting, especially if you're driving from another part of the Golden Isles.
