Don't get any ideas, I'm not about to start eating pickles and iced cream or anything but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy shopping for ek'skrooSHeeAtiNGly adorable things for other people, right? Little Earth isn't just a shop, it's a place for young moms to get together. There are book readings and music events. They believe in sustainability and community. They also have the cutest kids rain gear I've ever seen IN MY LIFE ! -and if you're lucky, little Joshua will show you around the shop. The 17 month old will show you the art on the wall, some cute children's books and if you listen really closely, you might just learn the German word for Chameleon ;) *NOTE* this review was written for the East Hastings location which closed. read more

See all

I have been a consigner/customer for many years ever since the location on hastings. I have been taking baby clothes in and now my kids are 5 and 8! The owner is cool and friendly she orders in stuff for you as well. I like to buy used clothing to reuse instead of buying new but mostly i like to consign because i always have too many clothes that the kids outgrow before they are worn out! Make sure to book ahead to consign you can get on a mailing list. read more

Under new ownership/management this children's specialty/consignment store has really come into it's own. The first thing you notice when you walk in is how nice the space is. Previously, the shop was cramped and not all that welcoming - especially if you're lugging around a stroller or wobbly toddlers. Now, the shop is open, nicely lit and it smells great. There's a very handy play area to dump the kidlets while you browse the nicely selected, reasonably priced consignment racks and the mostly-local new items. Custom-made bonnets, educational toys, hand-crafted whimsical stuffed creatures and eco-conscious clothing are just a few of the specialty items you'll find. It's the perfect place to pick up a memorable gift for baby or mama-to-be. Owned by two new moms, Little Earth has that community vibe that makes you really want to support it. Located right next door to Pomegranate Midwifery and close to tasty bakeries, coffee shops and ethnic restaurants, Little Earth is a great place to pop into while exploring the area. The also have regular sales and can special order in certain hard-to-find items. read more

This is ALWAYS my first stop for kids shopping in Vancouver. I love Little Earth because 1. It's a well curated little store with the nicest kids items--from stainless steel lunch containers to tastefully chosen natural toys--and a nice range of clothes. 2. They have a mix of used and new items. All of it nice. 3. They have a back room where you can find treasures--like awesome maternity clothes, a changing area for the baby, play things to occupy the kids while you shop. 4. Because they have new and used, the prices are very good. The only thing I would change is I wish they carried clothes for kids up to 8 or 10 (so hard to shop for that age range) and I wish they had a few well-curated books for parents. read more

I've been a customer since the Hastings street days, buying gifts for friends little ones. And now that I have kids of my own, it feels like little earth is my second home hhaha. Ihave always had such great experiences. The staff is super knowledgeable and helpful. I love that they carry a variety of brands and have reasonable prices too. But most of all I love that they carry brands that are eco-friendly and local too. read more

A cute little shop with helpful staff. I got a few pieces for my LO here. A great selection of new and consignment clothing. Best of all there's a little change and play area in the back. After a hectic day in the sun with my little one it was nice to relax back there. These folks thought of everything. Thank you, I'll be back in read more

I have loved this place for a couple years now! Sad they moved out of my neighbourhood but there seems to be much more space in their new spot. Excellent place to bring in your used kids stuff - although you only receive store credit in return, they have a great selection of used clothing and books as well as tons of new, quality toys (a lot of Melissa and Doug/wooden toys/play kitchens) to spend your credit usefully. Handy as well when you want a nice gift for the children/parents in your life. Love the personal service, especially from Lara, and the seperate room available for nursing/diaper changing etc. Overall a real gem of a place that I love stopping by with my son. read more

I came in here with the hopes of finding something for my girlfriend who is having a baby. Although I didn't find anything up my ally I do appreciate what they have and the community they build with other mom's. It's also have consignment store which not only brings down the cost of mom's preparing for their new born but also promotes recycling. Baby's grow so fast anyway that this helps out a lot. I was looking for something humorous and cute. The lady at the til was very sweet and friendly. I only give 3 'cause not everyone wants to dress their baby ubbber cute. I wanted to get a Zombie baby bib. The prices are very fair. read more

I really, really like this store. There is a good mix of moderately-priced consignment items, locally made goods and new stock. The quality of everything is high as all the items are carefully curated. As well, Lara the owner is welcoming, kind, and thoughtful. She discovered an error with a purchase I had made a couple months ago and promptly took care of it even though it was only mentioned in passing conversation. This is a wonderful shop to go to if you're looking for a gift because they have all sorts of neat infants and kids clothing, toys and accessories. And with the emphasis on and obvious love for Vancouver, I feel like I'm part of the community when I come here. read more

I always feel comfortable and welcomed here. The owners are super chill, they've brought in a bunch of local content, the consignment items are in really good shape, and they are really easy going about returns. Also, we were chatting about kids music and whatnot and started playing our favorites over the sound system. A really chilled out environment where the toddlers are allowed to touch everything on the shelves and encouraged to play with the consignment toys. read more

My fav kiddie store in town. Selection is fairly decent for a store this size. Staff is always super friendly and helpful when needed. They have a wide range of products from new to used as well as some unique interesting cool stuff that's fun to look at. I love going here to dig around the consignment clothing/shoes/ cloth diapers and toys and never know what gem I'll come home with - whether it's swimming diapers/ shorts for summer pool sessions or a Baby Bjorn travel crib for the badly needed vacation. Somehow I always ends up finding what I go there for in the first place. I enjoy looking at those handcrafted wooden flying animals hanging on the ceiling. Lastly, return policy is great, they'll take item back if you aren't sure of your purchase. The only issue I have is with the receipt - they aren't able to give out the typical detailed list but just a debit/credit transaction receipt, which is a little bit annoying as I like to document each and every one of my purchases. One criticism, I think the consignment clothing can be more curated - I see Joe Fresh, Old Navy and lots of lower price labels that is a waste of shelf space, they'll be much more successful if they take in only unique/ local, mid-level to higher end labels for resale. read more

The bonus is you can also consign the fabulous things you have purchased after your kids are done with them ! I recommend this place two everyone wether your into consigning or not it is great read more
