New and Expectant Parents Pre-Sale

​We want to make it easier for our new and expectant parent customers to shop the sale -- when it is less crowded to shop, a shorter queue to pay, and the selection is at its best!  That's why we are giving away 65 passes to our New & Expectant Parents Pre-Sale which will give our lucky winners (with their one guest each) entry to the sale one hour before we open to the public.

If you haven't shopped at the sale before, check out photos from earlier sales here.

You can find general shopping information here.

Who Can Register for the New and Expectant Parents Pre-Sale?

In order to qualify you need to be expecting, or have a baby with a birthdate of 1 March 2022 or later.  Parents who are in the process of adopting or fostering a child qualify, too.  This does not have to be your first child.

We are relying on the honor system -- most of us know how difficult it is to shop when you are pregnant or have a baby.  If you are not a new or expectant parent and are interested in shopping early, you can volunteer at the sale and receive two passes to our pre-sale on Friday evening.  Volunteers also get to shop the 50% off sale first at a special pre-sale on Saturday evening just for volunteers!  

If You Win a Ticket to the New and Expectant Parents Pre-sale...

  • Winners will be randomly selected from all the entries we receive.  The 65 pass winners will receive an email on Sunday, 12 March with information about receiving their pre-sale tickets. 
  • You can bring one guest of your choice--spouse/partner, mom, sister, friend, etc.  The guest does not have to be a family member.
  • Children are NOT ALLOWED (with the exception of babies) at the New and Expecting Moms Pre-Sale.  You can bring your baby in a baby carrier that you wear on your body, but car seat carriers and prams are not allowed.  We have the same rule for our pre-sale for sellers and volunteers.  Note: All children are allowed at our public sale, which opens at 10.00. 
  • You cannot bring large bags into the sale -- these must be left (free of charge) with our bag check attendant.  You will receive a bag check ticket for your checked items.  We have large IKEA shopping bags for you to borrow while shopping, and we have bags to pack your purchased items.
  • We can hold your purchased items for you until Sunday at 16.00. 

How to Register as a New or Expectant Parent

We use an online system, My Consignment Manager (MyCM), to administer the sale.  

In order to be included in the drawing for the pre-sale tickets, you need to sign up as a "new or expectant parent" on My Consignment Manager.  

We will not share your information with third parties, and will only contact you by email to confirm your registration as a new or expectant parent and to let you know if you are selected as one of ​the winners.
