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.
Want to see the sale for yourself?
Public Sale: Saturday August 28 8am-3pm
Half-Price Sale: Sunday August 29 11am-2pm
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. (Previous topics include The Clothesline and Ring Around the Rosy)

The inaugural deal is $10 for $20 worth of food from Alamo BBQ in Church Hill. Expires November 27, 2010, just three months.
Planet Qpon’s unique feature is that it is a locally owned enterprise; in structure, it is very similar to Groupon, offering a discounted certificate to a different Richmond company every day, and requiring a minimum number of deals purchased for anyone to get it. It offers $5 credit for referring others (who must purchase within 48 hours).
Planet Qpon lets you band together with friends, neighbors and strangers in an online community that uses its collective buying power to negotiate huge discounts on the high-quality products and services you want. You’ll enjoy savings of 40% to 90% (yep, it’s that big) on some of the hottest things to do and see in Richmond: restaurants, bars, nightclubs, spas, gyms, theaters, cultural and educational events, indoor and outdoor adventures that challenge the body and mind – and much more.
When you join, we will e-mail you our “Deal of the Day” – every day, 365 days per year. You decide if you want in. If the required, minimum number of buyers takes the deal, you all get the discount. You’ll be up against a deadline. So, if you want to reap the rewards, get your friends to join in
