Something Special

I was so happy to see that a new children's clothing store opened up in Ballston Spa. This store is…read moreso nicely decorated and there are plenty of things to keep the little ones busy while the mamas shop. There is a little tent and toys. The owner was so friendly and welcoming and helped my 2-year old color a picture while I looked around. She even offered him a snack after checking with me that it was okay. Most, if not all, of the clothes were organic and most were Fair-Trade certified. I like that almost all of the clothes were gender neutral and plain, not filled with TV characters. The clothes here are definitely in the higher price range for children's clothes but I appreciate the quality and love that many of the clothes are Fair-Trade. I'd love to see some Made in U.S.A. brands as well and I hope that the owner will consider adding some of those in the future. I'm very excited about this lovely addition to downtown Ballston Spa.

The woman running the store was so sweet and helpful without being pushy. Even the basic wrapping with a purchase, makes it feel like something special. The store is broken up into sections with different vibes/themes of gifts. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area and looking for a unique gift.

I went back another time and the sign clearly states it "closes at 6 pm". I had made a special trip to the mall just to go to the store. At 5:30, the employee working lowered the closing gate halfway and stopped. confused, I said "I thought you were open till 6?" She goes "we are, but we close this at 5:30, 30 minutes before we're closed So obviously if they're closing the gate halfway, they're actually closing at 5:30 ‍

Always an great experience, employees are well trained and personable. Consignment process is…read moresimple!!!!

You do have to do some digging to find the good stuff in some sections but honestly it's worth it! They block out or remove the brand name on their tags but sometimes you can tell what it was and see just how much of a bargain you have on your hands! I got a pair of the coziest pants ever for $4 and I'm still over the moon about it! My mom is already asking when we will go back. So if you're looking for some new threads or shoes, it's worth a visit! (Especially before she returns and buys it all up! )

The selection of clothes are reasonably priced from $20-$100 and there are many selections of gifts if you want a unique present for a friend. I love that many of the clothes can be for work and for play- I ended up getting two blazers and a pair of luscious suede winter pants. They also have a Bare Minerals collection with a beautiful display of skin care and foundations and a display of jewelry which has been curated with high-quality designs. Love this store and Kate is so helpful in finding something for you and your budget. Will be coming back soon!

Ultimately we've got three trees from Bob's, and even though two of the trees had issues, the staff have been understanding and reasonable in working with us for a resolution. Bob's has a big stock and variety of trees and plants of various sizes, and the tranquil location makes for a pleasant day trip for a walk amongst potted plants and dug-up trees ready to go. Their brochure is helpful for looking up and browsing an updated selection of available trees for listed prices, and staff have been consistently friendly and helpful, and not surprisingly, very knowledgeable. I would recommend Bob's Trees without hesitation, and I hope they stay open and successful for a very long time.

Treasures Consignment Boutique & Thrift Shop

You can find anything…read morefrom vintage fur coats to cute, inexpensive gently used houseware, costume jewelry, bags, clothes, shoes, and more! I stopped in on 12/18/25 because I was in the area with time to kill. They were having a sale and on top of that all Christmas items were additionally marked down! I found enough plastic ornaments to make a holiday wreath I saw on Pinterest! They were ten cents each! I also scored beautiful cream wool placemats with the word Noel embroidered in silver metallic thread and surrounded by beads! The staff is so friendly, helpful, and happy! We came here once before to see if we could find six cocktail glasses and were rewarded with a big selection of sizes, styles, and price range! We will definitely be back the next time we need something! I grew up thrifting and now my daughter has grown up thrifting as well! Highly recommend Treasures Consignment Boutique!

Treasures is indeed a treasure. I needed a sport jacket for an event and found the right item in…read morethe right size at the right price. This in comparison to a couple of other thrift stores I shopped that had a smaller selection and less well organized... at Treasures each jacket was marked with the size, a huge time saver. On impulse I also bought a spice rack organizer which leads to a cautionary tale about shopping at thrift shops. After a good amount of time trying to assemble it I realized that pieces were missing. Hopefully this was an inadvertent error on the part of the donor in gifting what was essentially a worthless item. Can't blame Treasures because they can't be expected to open and examine every $10 item. Still 5 stars in my book. Also: they have a Dutch auction system where certain things get markdowns on predetermined dates. So if you want to take your chances, you may get that desired item even cheaper.... or, it may be sold out from under you. But that's Saratoga for you.

Way too expensive - probably twice as much as what the shirt was originally sold for

Another incredibly overpriced piece. Need to do a better job at checking retails online (this was probably bought for $7)
