GIVEAWAY: Get Your NEW Elf on a Shelf in Time for Thanksgiving!

Once Upon A Child: Earn cash while making room for new toys plus Black Friday deals!

By Meghan Friedland, Editor/Publisher of Macaroni Kid Danbury-Bethel-Ridgefield CT November 15, 2013
Around this time every year I begin to get excited about the new toys my daughter will get for Christmas. But as a mom who likes to keep an organized house, I also feel a level of anxiety about where everything is going to go. The toy chest in her room is overflowing with stuffed animals so badly that you can't even close the lid. Sound familiar?

Usually I just go through the toy bins and pull out those that aren't played with as much as the others and they go in a big, plastic storage bag in the attic to be pulled out later for rainy day fun. But if the attic storage is also getting out of control, there's another way to make room for new holiday toys: Clean out the old, gently used toys and cash them in at Once Upon a Child between November 15 and 24th! Daily prizes will be awarded in store as Once Upon a Child buys your gently used toys (and clothing!) on the spot, giving you cash that you can then use to purchase new holiday toys/gifts for the season. Pretty sweet deal if you ask us.

While Once Upon a Child is best known for its wide selection of gently used toys, clothes and other merchandise, did you know that they also carry brand new items as well? For example, Once Upon a Child is an Authorized Retailer for the Elf on the Shelf Merchandise. They carry four different dolls (boy, girl, light and dark skin) as well as the book, plush and accessories. As you may know, the Elf on the Shelf makes his first appearance for the holiday season on Thanksgiving. Don't have an Elf yet? Get yours at Once Upon a Child today!
