Good Place To Find Quality Children’s Clothes

Aren’t Kid’s Cute is a fun place to visit for re-sale kids clothes, toys and baby items located in Lindale just a short distance from Tyler Texas. The shop itself has a cute antiquey atmosphere with lots of little rooms packed with clothes and toys. The items for sale on the other hand, are anything but antique – they only sell items in the best condition and from reliable brands.

Aren’t Kids Cute is a thriving business because the things for sale are in nearly new condition and the prices are attractive. As a customer – you get a really good deal. For the consigner – you get 50% of the price sold and everything is done for you – the presentation and pricing, marketing, selling etc.

It is fun to go and browse at Aren’t Kids Cute – for kids and parents alike. Shoes and boots are a particularly good find, and sports and ballet shoes are always in stock which is great when your kid’s feet start growing in the middle of the soccer season! It’s also a good place to find Halloween outfits, swimsuits and seasonal clothes. There are maternity items and baby equipment too -even large items like strollers, cribs and high chairs.

I love this store. It allows me to buy from Gap and Ralph Loren and to indulge in buying novelty Tshirts and things that aren’t necessarily practical but that my children will love. My 7 year old likes coming with me because he loves that he can afford to buy toys and DVDs with his own small allowance. Oh and I forgot to mention, there is a basket of play things to occupy your kids while you shop in peace.

Tyler Ellis Mercantile

January 8th, 2010

Tyler Ellis Merchandise is located off Rt 31 going towards Chandler and it is on your left side. It is a used clothing store where you can go and find pretty nice clothes for very reasonable prices.

Of course, not everything they have there will you like. Think of it more like a treasure hunt. I usually have to go there over and over several times. And sometimes I find something and at other times I don’t. But for the most part I enjoy going and looking anyways.

Just a couple of months ago I found a very nice wool jacket for $7 dollar or so. I love it and its very cozy. They have movies there for very cheap and Cd’s. They range from $3 to $5 dollars a piece. They have different ranges of other stuff, like couches, shoes, kitchen supplies, jewelry. The other stuff isn’t that great for the price but if you want some good clothes and jeans this place can be a money saver.

Baby clothes for teens and adults of all shapes and sizes are also available here. The people are very friendly and are always ready to help you find the things that you are looking for. Men if you are working in construction or anywhere outside and, you are looking for carpenter pants or overalls…this is the place where you will find some.

For Christmas I went there to find my husband some pants and they had plenty of them. So if you don’t mind taking the time to go out there and look through all their stuff then I would suggest you go and check it out. You never know exactly what you might find there.

To me its like a thrift place. The clothes seem to be in very good condition. Also, if you are looking for baby stuff like high chairs, a crib, or a car seat they will usually have these things. Hey sometimes they have these baby items and much more.

Everybody knows that money is hard to come by and every dime you save counts for something. I appreciate being able to go to stores like this, because it suits my budget and my style. Not to lead you astray I don’t always find something I like.

Sometimes I go home empty handed but for me it was still worth it because I got to leave the house and get a break from life and shop at the same time. You can’t beat that. We all know that with the way our economy is going we need all the help we can get on saving money.

So if wearing second hand clothes does not bother you. I would go and try it out and see if you can find something to your liking. The worst thing that could happen is that you go home empty handed.

Target in Tyler Texas

January 4th, 2010

Target

I may be a little partial toward Target as I am writing this, because I love the Target shopping experience. When you go to Target you may not be get as good of a price as if you were shopping at Wal-Mart. I can be guaranteed to get great brand names and great quality. I am pretty frustrated that Tyler does not have a Target shopping center, and only one Target store.

Target has some of the cutest little children’s clothes. Although the baby/toddle boy clothes are very few, the boy clothes have a great and stylish selection. As the season change find all you need for this up and coming winter. Find great brand name for assurance that you are getting the best quality for your money.

Target has great selections of men’s clothes for whatever your taste is. No matter the style, Target has clothes for all events or just every day prices. Also look at for Target for great work and sporting shoes.

At some stores it seems impossible to find the style of clothing that you like in the right size, but at Target you can always find beautiful selections in your size. Target also has great designs when you are expecting. You can find maternity jackets as the weather begins to become cold and you can find cute maternity bathing suits for those extremely hot Texan days.

Though the infant boy’s clothes selection is pretty limited, Target has a rather large selection for a little girl. They have great prices and wonderful sales. Target in Tyler Texas also has brand names and beautiful styles for every season of the year. Target is a bit more expensive that its neighboring competition, Wal-Mart. Target has beautiful bedding, cribs, car seats, high chairs and anything else you could need to be ready to welcome your new baby into the world. As your kid grows find great selection for your young toddler, such as gates and a training potty. Look for the developmental toys for your young child and bedding to match your child’s themed room.

If you are expecting and love the Target baby brand names, register. Target makes the register easy and simple to read. Also out of town friends can look at your registry online and at other stores.

If your big wedding day is approaching, you can find all the needs for your new house! Wedding registry is also available online or in the store. You can find beautiful kitchen appliances. Make your first home as a married couple your own with tasteful furniture, beautiful lamps, mirrors, wall clocks and so much more. Make your bathroom show your designer tastes with Target’s large selection of bathroom appliances.

Check out the great collection on televisions, video games, movies and music. In my opinion you can always find better prices on televisions at Wal-Mart and Target selection in very limited. Though the television selection is very limited, the video selection is very organized and plentiful. So instead of going to other stores and digging elbow deep into a giant box of movies, walk through aisles and pick through the organized displays of new releases, oldies, family, and even television show seasons.

If you are clothes shopping at Target and start to feel a little hungry, Target sells snacks and some frozen meals. The Target in Tyler has very little food, so I don’t recommend doing your grocery shopping here. But you will be able to pick up all your household needs, such as dish and laundry soap, toilet paper, and diapers. Also you will be able to get all your bath soap and shampoo, and all and all brand names makeup.

So find all your wants and needs here at Target and be sure to get great quality and brand names. Even though the prices may not be as good as many of their competitor’s prices, but their quality and the neatness of the store makes the shopping experiences easy and enjoyable.

Arndt Kids Cute

December 14th, 2009

       As you walk into the cute re-sale store you are greeted by the nice staff. Aren’t Kids Cute has a few different rooms full of clothes and toys for children of all ages. Since this is a re-sale store make sure that you double check every piece of clothing that you purchase to make sure that there is no stains or rips.

        I have always have had good experiences with the clothing here, though you can tell that things are older and have been used before. You can always find a great deal here, but I have seen things that, in my opinion, were some what over priced. You may have to dig but you will find something for all your children. When you walk up to the large deck, you will find a great selection of swings and high chairs. Most of which are in very great shape.

       The staff are always very kind and helpful. They are quick to answer any questions you might have about donating or help you if you are trying to find anything specific. Arndt Kids Cute also sells adorable homemade hair bows. Each are priced according to size.

      Come see what is new at Aren’t Kids Cute and find a great deal on cute clothes in Tyler!
