We asked you to share your favorite thredUP moments with us and you did! We loved seeing your kids, your homes and the moments that were special to you. Some of you love the surprises and extras that thredUP moms add to boxes while others enjoy seeing the look on their child’s face when a box arrives. Video entries included poems, capes, cute happy dances, and extreme box packing. Now for the important part….

The Fan favorite video winner received over 325 views on YouTube and was created by Anissa Danly!

Picking the second winner of thredUP’s choice was no easy task. The office was divided by two great videos and the debate consumed our morning! Here are your two winners and the runner up:

Fan Favorite Winner - $100 cash prize: Anissa Danley, sent in this great video of her daughter’s “happy dance”

thredUP’s Favorite Winner - $100 cash prize: Talk about a thredUP moment

Runner up - $10 swap credit (because we had to): Star Wars and Bumble Bee’s Oh My

Thank you for sharing your moments. We hope you’ll have many more along the way! All the great entries can be found in the “favorites” section of thredUP’s YouTube page.

PS Do you have suggestions for our next photo or video contest? We would love your feedback on how to improve contests, along with ideas for new themes and prizes. Let comments below!

Welcome to the thredUP kids Blog!

The thredUP team is gearing up for the launch of our online kids clothing exchange community. thredUP kids will allow moms to exchange great clothes that no longer fit their children, for stylish ones that will. The exchange is done online, through pre-paid mail and home delivery. Think: affordability of consignment shopping meets the convenience of Netfllix.

So why are you going to love this service? Clothes don’t grow. Kids do. We know that parents are often left with boxes of gently used clothes and are constantly shopping for the size up. Clothing your child is expensive and time consuming. thredUP kids is here to help.

We’ll start the swapping in February when the first 1,000 thredUP kids members can try the service for free. Sing-up here: http://bit.ly/7sikb7

In the meantime, the thredUP kids team wants to start a dialogue with parents. We’re all about frugality, eco-friendliness and practicality. This blog is a source for news, tips and expert commentary relevant to parents, helping to make our lives easier.

If you aren’t already, follow us on Twitter (@thredUP_kids) and friend us on Facebook!
