Blooming Kids

Such a cute shop! I love the collection of gently used clothing and the new (local I’m assuming) boutique items!
Watch the Facebook page for sidewalk sales! I got several brand name, like new pieces for a steal!
Great cloth diaper and maternity selection as well!
If you are in the area, this is definitely a place to stop!

I’ve been here twice. Both experiences were wonderful. There are always cool things to find here. I will be visiting again soon. Love this place. The owner is so nice!!!
Update: just went to a event here. It was another great experience. I bought LulaRoe leggings at the event and wouldn’t have ever known about them if it wasn’t for this boutique. They are amazing!!! Love this boutique!!!

Lots of very cute handmade items! Consignment items left something to be desired. Items seemed a little pricey for what they are.

Every time I come in, I find something totally cute and affordable for my little one! Aaaand, I can bring her to shop because there’s a play space for her– bonus!

Hours have been updated on website

Owner delays payment on consigned items, makes excuses, changes her policies, do not consign with her, very sketchy experience. Was a huge hassle to finally receive payment.

This shop is so special that I almost want to keep it my own little secret. It’s one of those places that you can go each week if you wanted to. There are one of a kind treasures to be found each time you visit. You will not be disappointed with the store’s selection or their great customer service.

Clean and well organized, stuff is well taking care of; lots of toys and variety for babies. Anything you need you will more likely find it here. Its a good price for second hand stuff.
All kinds of shoes for kids, girls, some maternity stuff and even car seats and strollers, again if you go in and do not find what you need woould be rare. I truly like this place!

A very neatly organized store with great selection, especially for girls clothing. I do wish their boys’ section was larger but it seems the selection of girls’ clothes versus boys is larger everywhere. I found some cute boutique-​y things in here and if I were shopping for clothes I would have a hard time not buying up everything in sight. I wish they carried more gear and accessories such as monitors, sound machines, etc. but for a clothing store it’s pretty great.

I love this store! It always has adorable clothes and it has great sales. It’s my favorite place to consign children’s clothes in Tacoma.

This is the best consignment shop I’ve been too. Always full of cute stuff! And they have an awesome brown paper bag sale where you can fill up a bag for $ 20 :) I love shopping at Blooming Kids.

Lovely shop with the cleaniest selection of used/​new baby clothes in the area. The owner is extremely friendly. I love that they carry lots of items from local mom’s. I can’t wait to continuously shop at this store for my sweet baby boy.

Such a great shop for kids clothes! Everything was in great condition and the owner was so helpful!

Great place to shop for kids clothing. Fantastic selection of kids clothes, unique classic items. The owner was so helpful and has awesome taste. If you need help she is extremely informative and can put great outfits together for your little one. She has a keen eye and I bought a couple sweaters and I’ve already had people asking where I got them.

I stopped in here when I was pregnant thinking that I could find some good deals on basic baby clothes and was completely disappointed. There was a bin of onesies that were $ 5 each. You can get a pack of brand new onesies at Target for $ 10. I didn’t find anything that was a better value that just shopping for new clothes at target. They did have some cute and unique maternity clothes, but that’s the only think that’s worth shopping for there.

This shop is really lovely especially for the tacoma and surrounding areas. Inside the little house is set up so cute and it doesn’t feel like used stuff or as if you need a shower after entering the store like some other local baby consignment stores feel. I think this is one of the best parts — the stores atmosphere. The owner is also super nice.
I was able to find some of the things I purchased for a lot less at other local stores, but I really think that is how consignment shopping goes you can’t win every single time. That being said I do feel like I got some good deals too. Our baby crib was priced super fairly and so was our little gym floor mat for our little guy coming soon. The local artists who make the tees and onsies does an adorable job — these are the things you can’t find at the other nearby consignment shop.
Overall, this is by far the nicest consignment shop between Tacoma and Olympia. You won’t find anything like this little store unless you travel to Seattle. I highly recommend to every new mommy I see to swing by and take a look.

This is my new favorite store! It’s clean and refreshing! The clothes are great! boutique quality name brands! Not to mention the ultra Fabulous lux baby balms that’s more like a whipped butter that melts!!! I’m hooked! And made locally by moms! Here I pinned it!

Congratulations to the New Owner!!!

I went to kidz kaboodle which is another baby consignment shop about 10 minutes away… I walked in and right back out, yuck! I was still in need of unloading some baby stuff so I looked on Unilocal and found blooming kids. I called about 10 minutes before they were do to close and the owner said come on by. When I got there I was so happy to see such an adorable little gem of a baby shop! She was very nice, she took my stuff and even let me take a quick peak around (after hours). What a cute place with a sweet owner. Highly recommend!

It’s under new ownership, and a must see! Vintage and high end clothes, accessories, toys and more. There isn’t a better store. She has just about everything, and for AMAZING prices. The whole store itself is wonderfully laid out and clean. The owner is also looking into some really cool new ideas such as mommy groups, for swapping ideas and items:)! In fact I will be back tomorrow… And many more times after that!

UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP AND BETTER THAN EVER!!! Seriously, if you haven’t been to Blooming Kids in the last few months, well, then you haven’t been to Blooming Kids. 1) The new owner, Molly, is delightful and entirely motivated to improve on the little business that already some great details (see the bottom of this review for more), 2) Blooming Kids now has more high quality name brand clothes and gear, 3) there is stroller parking (and vehicle parking) and an alternate entrance in the back (i.e. the front steps don’t have to be a burden if you have a stroller or a massive load of baby clothes to consign/​sell).*****
Now, for some of the current and incoming details that make Blooming Kids «new and improved»:
New, locally made handcrafts: dolls made from vintage baby clothes and other vintage fabrics; high quality baby accessories; décor and furniture
Less clutter.
Molly seems to be set on presenting recycled and re-​purposed goods to the Proctor community (she says there will be environmentally friendly/​conscious and fair trade NEW baby and mama items in the coming months… I even asked her if she might consider carrying SEVENTH GENERATION DIAPERS since they are crazy expensive at the nearby Metropolitan Market and she promised to look into it as a possible offering!).
ART GALLERY! The back kitchen area is being transformed into an art gallery where the offerings of local artists will be displayed and sold.
CLASSES!!! Breastfeeding education, Baby wearing, and more (the owner is open to ideas and wants to know of LOCAL EDUCATORS WHO WANT TO BE INVOLVED WITH CLASS OFFERINGS, TRAININGS, GATHERINGS, ETC.).
*****DISCLAIMER: I am a local-​area mother of two who wandered into Blooming Kids a few weeks ago after having not been in for several months. I am not an owner/​operator, just a community-​minded mama who is so excited to see another community-​minded mama taking the reins on a local business and using her great customer service and organizational skills to benefit North Tacoma.
