Selling to & Consigning With Funky Monkey
Funky Monkey now purchases your clothing up front. We still take baby gear (strollers, Pack n’ plays, exersaucers, swings, etc.) on consignment. We also still take AHA uniforms on a consignment basis. Drop-offs are done by appointment and what we purchase is seasonal. We buy Spring & Summer items from January through June and fall & winter items from July through December, based on demand. On your scheduled day, you may drop off anytime during the window of 11 am – 5 pm. There are no appointments on Saturdays, but special exceptions can be made, should our schedule allow. You will need to pick up your bins & accept /decline our offer within 3 business days after drop off. We will select the items we want & need and offer you a price for those items. The offer will be for all items that we select, or none. When you pick up your bin, you can decide whether to accept or decline the offer. If you accept the offer by the 1st of the month, your check will be available by the 10th of that month. If you accept the offer by the 15th of the month, your check will be available by the 25th of that month. Consigned items that sell will follow the same payment schedule. If the items sell by the 1st of the month, the check will be available by the 15th and if they sell by the 15th, the check will be available by the 25th of the month. Please note that we will only mail out checks if you live outside of Cherokee, Cobb or Bartow counties.
We purchase sizes preemie/newborn through juniors. We only accept items in “LIKE NEW” condition and in “CURRENT” (that you would be able to purchase at the mall or other new retail stores today) styles. We do not purchase items with excessive wear, missing buttons, missing tags, split seams, holes, pilling or any stains whatsoever. Clothing should be re-laundered & pressed before you bring it to us & shoes need to be clean. Please check winter coats/jackets as many times we find that they were put away the previous season without being laundered & still have “treasures” in the pockets. We do not accept cloth diapers, underwear, socks or hats (unless they are part of an outfit). Baby gear must be clean & stain free as well! We cannot accept potty chairs, bath tubs or breast pumps. We accept all brands with the exception of “dollar store”, Wal-Mart & Kmart brands. Please remember that what we pay is dependent on the brand. Items ABSOLUTELY must be in a BIN WITH A LID when you drop them off. If the above guidelines are not followed, it will not only affect what we are able to accept but will also affect the price we are able to offer as we will be required to do more work prior to being able to sell your items.

Each of these three brands carry some of the same shapes & than they each have their own unique shapes & are constantly designing new ones. My personal favorite is the new hippie bands that Funky Bandz created. We are the only store in Georgia that carries the Funky Bandz line so far! We will have our largest shipment ever arriving FIRST THING THIS MORNING from them & they will sell out quickly. Our Friday shipment was gone by Saturday morning so make sure you get them quickly for Easter baskets! We will also be receiving a limited quantity of the Rockbandz & the all NEW Fantasy bands from SillyBandz tomorrow! Also, today’s shipment from Funky Bandz will include the silicone necklace to hang all of your bands from!
SNAP CAPS
We have many new choker colors & cap designs – come & check them out for yourself. We also have a number of new super cute Snap Cap keepers. These are other great Easter basket gifts! ALSO arriving today are the new LIBERTY LIONS bottle caps! We’ve been carrying the SIXES STARS for a month or two. We donate $1.00 of the proceeds of each cap sold to the school so it is a great way to show your school pride & support your school. If you would like us to carry your school bottle cap, please have a PTA board member or school principle contact us.
EASTER GIFTS
Easter specific gifts are now 35% off! We also have a great selection of little Easter basket stuffers as well as bigger items available. Most of our bigger items still have a price point in the $15 range so we try to stay very affordable in today’s economy. Besides the usual Sillybandz, Snap Caps & Webkinz, there are two other great items we carry called Brain Noodles & the Little Experience Craft Kits. These are great for both boys & girls! The Brain Noodles come in Solids, Stripes, Puppy, Bugs & Bees, Pirates & Princesses. The Little Experience kits are Sew It, Knit It, Build It or Create It kits & we have Create a Keychain, Daisy Chain, Sew a Doll, Owl or Bird, Knit an Elephant or Build a Space Ship or Pirate Ship. Even the packaging becomes part of the project so they are eco-friendly as well! These make great birthday presents & remember we provide free gift wrapping! We also have a Sidewalk Sale table at Hickory Flat with a large selection of gifts at 75% off.
WEBKINZ
We have many great Easter selections as well as the Webkinz Signature, Juniors & a new selection of Zumbuddies! We just received our April shipment yesterday & the Rainbow Armadillo & Dazzle Dachsund are absolutely adorable & selling quickly! The Signature Endangered Species Elephant is beautiful! All of our Webkinz are now, Buy 3 or more & get 20% off of all of them & all Easter Webkinz are 35% off this week! Don’t forget the Pillowpopz pillowcase that lets your little one sleep with four of their favorite Webkinz or other stuffed animals – another great item for the Easter Basket!

Winter Break Week - Think Spring!

While the snow is fun for a day, most of us are tired of the unusually long & cold winter here in GA. The kids are on winter break - the next time they have a week long break will be in April - spring time! We have a special Webkinz coupon in the column to your right valid for this week only. Since the kids will be home & may get bored, how about a new Webkinz to help occupy their time? We also have a Buy One Get One Half Off sale on our Monogrammed Totes. That offer ends this week as well – See our “Specials of the Week” section below the blog update!
THE LITTLE EXPERIENCE
We have a NEW item! The Little Experience…creative things for children to make & do. We found these when we went to the gift show in Atlanta & fell in love with them immediately & hope you will too! They are kits that help your children create- pirate ships & space ships, a sew it yourself doll, knit an elephant, stitch a keychain…and many more. They are so cute & creative and different from all the others we’ve seen out there. Let your child create the old fashioned way instead of always being in front of the TV, computer or video games. These are very reasonably priced & make excellent birthday presents! Also another great winter break week idea!
SMENCILS
We’ve had many requests for these smelly pencils. We are working on that & hope to have them any day.
WEBKINZ
Speaking of sitting in front of the computer, we know its winter break here in Cherokee County & if your children are bored, we have plenty of Webkinz including a new selection of Zumbuddies as well as a very cute Beaver, Tree Kangaroo & Sheep Dog! We have a St. Patrick’s Day Puppy & a great selection of Easter Webkinz, Lil Kinz & Kinz Klip sets. We also have a special winter break sale on them- 10% off any Webkinz or 20% of one with any other in store purchase of $20 or more. Many of you have been asking when we will have more Pillowpopz, the pillow case that holds four Webkinz to sleep with your child. We should have those by the end of the week!
SILLY BANDZ
Silly Bandz have exploded, not only among the younger children but also among middle school students. We have gone through another shipment & have a few left & should have another shipment by the end of the week. Rockbandz have had a great response & spring shapes will be available soon. We should have more alphabet shapes coming in as well.
MUD PIE
We’ve had a great response to the new Mud Pie items & have another shipment of different items arriving tomorrow including spring & summer clothing, shoes, hair accessories & more. These items are absolutely darling – we’ll update our pics on the blog for you once we see exactly what we get in! Mud Pie has expanded their sizes – come in & check these out.

EASTER CLOTHING

BRAIN NOODLES
We added a new kids’ item called Brain Noodles. They are like pipe cleaners on steroids – use your noodle to make clever creations. With all the possibilities, Brain Noodles can be used over & over again in unlimited ways. Use your noodle & see what you can create! They make an excellent birthday present for a young child & are great for educators to use in the classroom as well!
