Lil' Traders - Tucson Kids & Maternity New/Used Boutique - Coupon!





Earlier this month I did a post called Thrift Score with a shout out to the local Tucson new & used kids boutique Lil' Traders. Well, one thing led to another and before you know it we're hosting an exclusive coupon to Lil' Traders as well as a giveaway contest for a $25 gift certificate!

How I Found & Fell For Lil' Traders:
When I was pregnant with Otto (he's now almost 20 months, omg where did the time go?) anyways, when I was pregnant I started showing at around 3 months along. No kidding, my gut (and butt and boobs) just "boop" flew out there. Well, anyways, I needed maternity clothes STAT and I did NOT want to spend hundreds of dollars on clothes I would wear for only a few months. I had seen Lil' Traders when shopping at Bookmans and thought I'd give them a try. I went in looking for clothes for me and I left with I think 2 pairs of maternity pants, a few tops, and about ten gender-neutral baby outfits that I was like cuddling and drooling over! Baby Gap, Oilily, Children's Place - like really really nice baby clothes that I don't think I paid more than $5 for any single outfit! I fell in love, and was instantly hooked!

I continued to stock up on darling kids clothes at Lil' Traders throughout my pregnancy as well as ever-growing maternity clothes (yes, I ended up an XL, whatever, ice cream is GOOOOOD.). Then something incredible happened - I gave birth to my son! And he started to grow and I started to shrink! And suddenly all the moo-moos in my closet were too moo-moo'y and Otto (who weighed 9lb 12oz at birth) never set foot in a newborn garment and was quickly in need of size 6mo. So I started trading! And I never stopped. End of story.

Lil' Traders is Buy/Sell/Trade (same idea as Buffalo Exchange for adults) and carries childrens clothing from size preemie to 14 as well as maternity and nursing apparel for mamas. They also carry all kinds of gear, from cribs, strollers, and high chairs to baby wearing, car seats, decor, really you name it. And toys, dress up clothes, sports apparel like dance shoes & cleats, books, dvds, and games.

I got some great maternity clothes here as well as some outfits for Davis after he was born. I must admit we haven't been to LTs in a while since my mom shops for him at Casa de los Ninos every few months.
