I had the opportunity to preview Tickles & Giggles children’s consignment sale this afternoon.

It’s located in Ashland and easy to find – take exit 92B off I-95, then turn left at the first traffic light (Hill Carter Parkway). You’ll pass a Walmart and about a mile down the road on the left is Presidential Office Park, in which Tickles & Giggles is located.

Like other warehouse sales, it is susceptible to outside temperatures, so dress accordingly. (There are a number of industrial fans to cool things down)

The clothing selection was quite respectable, and most prices were in the $2-$5 range ($2 is the minimum price permitted for clothes). As I always lament, the boys section is smaller, but I found a number of good values on the racks. Favorites included several Children’s Place windbreakers for $3-$4

Despite the fact that my son needs absolutely nothing, I was unable to resist this $5 Calvin Klein blazer:

If you are ready to consider Halloween costume options, there was a rack full from which to choose:

And I thought these organizers looked like a great deal for $5:

A portion of the sale proceeds and any unclaimed items are donated to the charity Hanover Safe Place.

Disclosure: Tickles & Giggles is the sponsor sale of this fall’s consignment sale list, but no payment was received for this post and the views expressed are my own as part of my sporadically updated series covering Richmond children’s consignment sales.
