If you love buying local, Valentine's on Piedmont is the place for all your baby and kid clothing, shoe, and accessory needs. I've been a secondhand mama since before my daughter was born; my version of nesting was collecting gently used everything for her arrival. I've been selling my her clothes at Valentine's for the past couple years and find the process (text for a time, schedule a drop off, hear back by text about store credit/when you can come back and pick up) easy. The owner has a great eye. I never leave Valentine's empty handed. It's tiny and packed to the gills with amazingness, both new and used. read more

You HAVE to come here if you're looking for gifts for little ones - we stopped in to buy a gift on the way to a 1 year olds party and found the perfect thing + a card. They even wrapped it up in gift wrapping free of charge. Small business like this make all the difference. read more

My favorite baby shop I've found in Oakland/Berkeley so far! It's small but sweet and they have a good selection of both used and new clothing items, plus a good variety of toys and books. Customer service is friendly. Be sure to check them out! read more

Valentine's is my mom's and my favorite local shop to buy gifts for infants and kids. Pretty sure they know us by name now. My mom has found so many great toys for nephews, and I always get baby clothes whenever one of my friends or family is expecting. The team there is so incredibly warm and helpful - they've always looked through their inventory when we've come in trying to see if we can buy another one or two of an item we recently purchased. The selection of kid's clothes is just so darling. I've found the best prints and designs by local artists, and my friends have always said they get so many compliments when their kids wear it out. If you're looking for gifts or clothes for infants or kids, Valentine's is the place to go! read more

Such a cute store with gorgeous pieces! I love that they also have a section of 2nd hand clothing! The sales associate was super helpful and made great suggestions! read more

Customer service was great! Lots of cute clothes, both new and gently used. Made me wish I had more little ones to buy for.

I went here not knowing what to buy for a baby's birthday and came out with the cutest set of gifts. The shop is cozy in size but chock full of well-curated clothing, toys, and accessories. Sasha was incredibly helpful in guiding me through store and helping me with my selections. Even though I wasn't buying anything for myself, I left the shop with a big smile on my face. I will definitely be coming back for any children's gift needs. Thank you! read more

Wonderful kids, clothing, and toy store, used and new, really friendly staff. Highly recommend!

I usually venture into Valentine's when I'm in need of a cute gift for a baby shower or birthday. I can always find quality baby clothes and accessories in colors and prints that garner an, "Awwwe" from the recipient. The store also has a nice selection of books and toys that feature characters of all shades. This feature is highly appreciated. The owner is always very pleasant and helpful. She also does an amazing job wrapping the gift in coordinating colors. Highly recommend. read more

I've been going here ever since I was pregnant with my son, and now expecting my next child. Conveniently located across the Prenatal care at Kaiser. They always have an adorable collection of clothes and they have Jellycat plushies! I stopped by here just to see if they had the Jellycat turtle for my son before purchasing online, and I was able to spot it right away. Everything is fairly priced as well and the workers are always nice when I am here. Happy that this place has stuck around :) picture of my pleased toddler with his new turtle attached. read more

Valentine's - Children's Clothing Near Me - Oakland, California

I've been on a quest lately to support small businesses, so I purchased my daughter's Christmas gift from here. I loved the aesthetics of their website, as it was very easy to browse their products online. I also chose this store because it seemed like the owner really cared about her customers and made long term relationships with them (I came to this conclusion by perusing Yelp and the store's Instagram feed). I picked up my gifts the next day and she gift wrapped each one so beautifully. I hope my son won't be jealous because his sister has a nicely wrapped gift while he gets a janky wrapped gift courtesy of dad. I wanted to spend more time to browse the store, but I had my husband and children waiting in the car for me. I'm looking forward to coming back in the near future and hoping for the best for this store! read more

Very well curated little store carrying both used & new clothing as well as an array of books, toys trinkets, shoes & accessories The owner is always nice & super helpful. Favorite shop for little ones in Oakland. read more

On a really quick trip out of Childrens Hospital the owner helped me find the perfect pair of purple shorts for my daughter. She was kind, helpful and added in something special to cheer her up. A kind and thoughtful business and that's not mentioning the gorgeous clothes and toys. A bright spot for sure! read more

A friend of ours gifted our son an Oakland onesie from here that I adored, so I decided to pop in to try to find a gift for a 2 year old birthday party. The space is small, but I like that as it's not too overwhelming and still has a great selection. Sasha was super welcoming and friendly, and helped me find a gift (and a little something extra for my son ;-)) in less than 15 mins. I will definitely be coming back! read more

The sweetest little resale store ever. The clothes are quality and the store is filled with lovely new products as well. The lady at the store Julia was a doll and I can't wait to go back. Such a great local find! read more

Valentine's - Baby girl dress - Children's Clothing Near Me - Oakland, California

The store is cute but the service was slow. It was a bit confusing on which sections were new and which ones had used clothes. We found the prices for a few baby girl dresses were upwards of 40. It didn't make much sense so we ended up buying a cute pair hair clips $11 and floral preserve booklet $20. I'd love to come back here again but the collection seemed limited and overpriced. The lady is sweet. read more

Came here for the first time today, just as my kid is about to age out! Very nice selection of clothing, accessories, and toys. Good selection of used clothing in very good condition. Super cute store and great service. read more

Just look at these beautiful photos of wonderful things in the store ! So many cute and unique children's gifts and toys, etc., in here. Great location too !! read more

I wish I could find the clothes Valentine's carries in my own size. Everything is so cute, almost overwhelmingly so. I bought a few clothing pieces here half an hour before a baby shower, they were perfect, oooh'd and ahh'd over for sure. I'm lucky this sweet shop is in my neighborhood. Huge thanks to the owner, she gift wrapped my purchase. LOVE! read more

I love shopping here, and I always buy for all the babies in my life. The owner has done such a beautiful job of curation in the assortment - literally everything you could want whether it's a practical need or a fun gift for the little ones. She's also just so lovely and warm and always ready to assist and advise with your purchase. This is such a special place! read more

This place is awesome. I personally don't have kids but have friends who do. I have no idea what to buy them, but all I had to do was ask the lady what to buy and she guided me along. Super easy and the gifts were appreciated. Will be coming back. read more

Amazing little shop with a great website that made shopping for gifts during the time of coronavirus very easy. I highly recommend this store!! read more

Such a sweet spot with great style! I got the most awesome gifts for a friend's 8-year-old daughter thanks to the stellar advice I got from staff. She helped me pick some awesome tights and amazing slippers, a cool book, a unique necklace and more. I also got a wonderful card. They were all a huge hit! Thank you so much, Valentine's! Lovely wrapping, too. Everything I bought was new but I've also had luck in the past with used items. Love the gift certificate option, too! read more

Just found this spot near our house and it's got the makings of a great place for baby and kids clothes. The style here is spot on with some local flair and unique pieces. They have a great selection of second hand clothes that are all very high quality. We picked up some gifts for our friend's shower and the owner was so nice. It just opened three weeks ago so we are looking forward to seeing it grow! read more

Great little shop with super cute products, both used and new. The employee was very helpful, helping me to visualize what size might work for the five year old I was shopping for. The used clothes were very good quality. What others say about how ridiculously cute most everything is is true! The only downside is the sometimes snooty customers (hello, Piedmont), but the business can't be blamed for that, and the employee was friendly and patient to everyone. read more

Super cute store. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. I've gotten my friends who have babies some very special and unique gifts from here. read more

A very lovely and cute shop. We happened to walk by and they had the shoes we loved, People (formally known as Native). My wife bought a few more items as well. It wasn't a big shop but was very intimate with many good items. The owner is super nice and helpful. Parking can be tough in this area, but it is worth it to check out this shop. read more

I drive past several baby and kids stores to come here. Because this shop is my hands-down favorite. The compact space is filled with expertly-curated new and used clothes, as well as unique toys and gifts. The shop is not overwhelming or intimidating, and the owner is super helpful. I sincerely enjoy kind of hanging out with her while I'm perusing the cute stuff. (After my son was born and I wasn't really getting out a lot because it was winter time and he was so little-- I think I may have selfishly used her as my only social outlet. She was very cool about that.) If you want something fancy and special, she's got the goods. If you're pinching pennies, you can score some high-quality, exceptional used stuff. If you're like me, you will end up with a little of both. And a kid who is dressed ADORABLY. read more

Sunday morning right before I'm visiting my fertility acupuncturist and her new born baby, I needed to pick up some nice gifts for them. I owe my two beautiful children to my acupuncturist and so I can't just go to any store. I'm so glad I found Valentine's Baby and Kids! The owner works there and is a very genuine person. She helped me find what I needed without being pushy, solicitous and condescending. The products the store carries are unique and adorable! I am coming back to get more for my own kids next time. There is also a second hand section that DON'T smell funny and look like new. There is also a small area for kids to play or read. Very tasteful shop. I will come back! read more

Like all of the reviews mention, the owner is amazing and so helpful! I love coming here to shop for unique, quality pieces for my baby. I could probably spend quite a while in the store just talking to the owner too! There is something at every price point. I was surprised how cheap the used clothing pieces went! $10 for a snow suit! $40 for an oeuf sweater with the tags! I will be coming back for sure. read more
