While this may be just another small locally owned resale store for children's items, it offers several attractive customer-friendly features. To begin with, clothing, equipment, books, toys and furniture are on display in a clean and organized manner and they are competitively priced. Another nice feature is that the store buys these items with cash on the spot. Sellers do not have to deal with store credit or gift certificates.

"Our niche is custom design," Saydee Mattson, Assistant Manager, said. "Customers will want a birthday gift, like a shirt with the child's name and birthday on it, and we can have it made at our design shop in Northeast Minneapolis. Not a lot of stores can say that." Mattson explains that Oh Baby! can catch trends much earlier because of this and have a new product out in about a week. Find all the locally designed Oh Baby! handmade clothing at this store along with other fashionable brands for babies through pre-teens.

It has only been a couple of years since Kristie Case launched this delightful little boutique in St. Paul. She filled it with everything for the baby and wonderful clothes for toddlers up to about 4-year-olds. Now, Case leads customers throughout the store showing them great gift ideas for babies and toddlers and she honors returns gracefully. Another neat feature of Teeny Bee is that parents can bring their kids to shoot down the slides and bounce on trampolines. Teeny Bee offers weekly play dates and classes where kids can enhance their love of music through song and dance.
