A great place to spoil one's kids or grandkids with fashionable clothes or those cute adorable printed shirts. In addition to selling clothes, when it comes time that your kiddos get too big for their old clothes, bring them in and get store credit or cash.

I am in Alaska for vacation and since most of my vacations incorporate some thrifting/antiquing…read moreshopping I decided to Yelp some nearby locations. This store popped up and we decided to stop by. FYI there is a coffee/soda shop next door (another review for that place also done). This store was in a plaza, plenty of parking spots. At first entrance once inside, it looks tiny and the way things are set up, I was thinking that prices were going to be expensive. Don't be fooled, it may look small but there are a lot of great finds. This particular store is focused on women clothing, accessories and some home knick knacks. There is also another FashionPact that is HUGE and has kids and mens clothing, books, home goods, etc... But back to this location...everything is organized by sizes, they are inclusive and also have a plus section. FashionPact has a section by the front door that features items that they have posted on their social media accounts. If you fell in love with the item, you can come into the store and purchase or also they can ship the item to you. Check out their accounts to get details. At first, you think this is like all other thrift stores but two cool things that make their store stand out. They have dynamic pricing. You see the price of the item listed at the top of the tag, then if the item is not sold by the date listed, the price is reduced. If the item is still not sold, then the third price listed is the final purchase price. Such a simple concept, but it made me realize that their purpose is to sell merchandise and leave space available for new donations. Plus, in selling then money could be donated which brings me to the second cool thing about this store. As a buyer, you can pick which local organization gets a percentage of your total purchase. If you donate clothes, you also get to choose. Shopping and choosing where to donate makes you feel good. They have a screen at the top of the register that shows the local organizations, but if you want to know more about the groups, they have an iPad next to the register so you can read more about the groups. They have the organizations divided by categories such as, animals, arts, education, etc. There are so many choices and all groups are local! How awesome is this! If you are not too busy shopping, all throughout the store, you can spot the thank you cards/letters/drawings from these organizations for the donations. I went twice, back to back to this location and got so many good deals. Scratch that, steals. Good clothing and accessories for under $10, but most were under $5. My brag from this store was a Columbia pink fleece zip up jacket with tags for $5, wow!!!!!! The other items that I also purchased were used but in excellent condition or with tags. The sales associate was sorting through donations and when I came back the next day, there was a lot of new items in my size section. SOOOOOOO sad that there is not a store like this in the Bay Area. I did tell them they should open one up and they said that they have friends in SF that have told them the same thing. Sadly, rent would be a killer around here. Staff was so nice. I know this place is not touristy but for sure this is a dream store for any thrift store lover. I joked that I could come to Anchorage with an empty luggage and challenge my self to only use clothes bought from any of the FashionPact locations. If you live in the area, lucky you. Stop and donate or shop, you will be helping the local community.

**July 2024: Saturday Afternoon Visit**…read more I almost don't want to review so that I can keep this gem all to myself; however the mission of this thrift shop is so heart warming that it would be a crime not to share. It's a nice boutique and everything is sorted by garment type and size. There is a fitting room for patrons to try on outfits and good music to keep you in a good mood. Pricing is very fair and there's two prices listed on each tag. After a certain date the price cuts to half. On my visit my mom and I were able to snag a couple of half priced items and two full priced ones, which was still a steal. My coat was $10, blouse $5, and I think my mom got two wrap dresses, and a blazer with everything being under $50. Now if that doesn't make you feel great the proceeds go towards a charity in Alaska and you can pick which one your purchases goes towards. We chose the zoo and hope everyone will go support this little shop when visiting Anchorage.

First time coming to Once Upon A Child, and I even braved it on a Saturday when they were doing…read moretheir %90 off grab bag event! It wasn't too too crowded, when it was time to check out I was the 6th person in line with about 6 more people behind me. Probably took 15 minutes which isn't crazy. They were not super fast ringing stuff out. They have to scan and take every hanger off the clothes so it's a process. I was just browsing but intended to buy. They have stuff everywhere, literally stacked to the ceiling. Don't even think about buying new toys from target, especially those push walker toys. I was looking at 6-9 months and up. If you know baby clothes you know that if a onesie says 6 months on it, then that's the oldest age they are "supposed" to fit, but they had all the tags wrong and saying the clothes were 6-9 when it should have been on the 3-6 month section. Another downside is all the clothes and the store had a purfume smell to them, even after I brought the clothes home and washed. I'd probably wash twice next time. But I found some great stuff. Found some brand new items, even one from a boutique store that had an $18 price tag on it. However I paid only 3.50 - %20. Score! Also found an Alaskan grown onesie which run like 20 bucks! Got it for $2. Awesome. Also got four toys, seen them all at target for about 3/4 what I paid. All in really great condition. I will definitely be back again for clothes and toys, maybe during the week it'll be less busy. And I'll wash what I bring home a few times. I might end up brining stuff here to sell too one day. For now I just give it away since we got a lot of our stuff from friends.

We knocked on…read morethe door, they turned off the lights and acted like they couldn't hear us while they stood at the counter laughing, then went to the back room. When one girl finally came up to the door she lied and said the computers crashed. We asked if they take cash she stood there looking around for an answer like she doesn't work there and after asking more questions said the computers are already shut off. If y'all close at 6 close at 6. All I needed was a baby bath. That was absolutely ridiculous.

Packed to the gills with products, cute decor and upbeat music playing... it's a very pleasant place to be; albeit a bit cramped at times. I've been in a couple times and only realized I failed to write a review fairly recently. At least one thing in most Alaskan chicks closets and even some roosters too, they offer a wide variety of cozy apparel, beverage containers, stickers and such. Their women's sweatshirts are ridiculously attractive & feminine, with flattering cuts; not just the unisex frumpy sweatshirt we are use to seeing. Which reminds me, I have a gift certificate from my birthday that I need to go in and spend... I think I'll do that this week.

Their grand opening was is this weekend! Ends at 6pm today and everything is 10% off!! Super cute sweatshirts, leggings, tanks, tees, hats, magnets, stickers, and even masks. Definitely a great local business to shop for cozy wardrobe pieces, and gifts for the holidays! It is located next to Revive Home market, and I'm sure they will be doing collab events in the future!

I guess you could call this place a gift shoppe. (That's how it is advertised)…read more But it feels more like a mini department store (minus appliances and that kind of stuff). There is everything from lotions, to Alaska clothing, to puzzles and toys. There are fuzzy and comfy looking socks. They have lip balm and magnets, soaps and all sorts of coffee cups. There are cute signs, snarky signs, and everything in between. I even saw a mini zen garden. (I may go back for that soon, so I'm not telling you it's cozy location). It dawned upon me today that this is where I need to go when I need a gift, but I'm not sure what to get. It doesn't seem to matter the age of the person. There is something for everyone. The space is bigger than the humble entrance leads you to believe. It is clean, organized and well put together. There aren't multiple sellers curating the collection, which means someone has excellent taste. Plan at least 15-20 minutes to give it a thorough walk around!

I was never called, so after two days I called but I wasn't able to go back until the next business day. Went back to the store to retrieve my rejected items. I'm super frustrated in how they do business. They go through your items at their convenience and not in front of you. I'm missing items like half a bag of items. I'm extremely upset. I have a right to refuse on consignment prices as well, not just the store. Prices are inconsistent! I have a pretty good idea on pricing and understand the cost of running a business. I get it!! But as a consignor only getting 40% yikes. Never will I go back to this store. Not worth my time. I want my items back the ones they rejected but they can't find. Great!! They won't return my call.

There is quite a lot to look through and it is hit or miss if you will find what you want. However, they are friendly and I usually always find something! Didn't Love: It took about 2 weeks for them to go over the clothes and toys I had dropped off. If you are in a hurry to get store credit this may be disappointing.
