Dani's Duds is Northern Virginia's oldest & largest children's toy and clothing recycling/consignment event. We are only open one week every spring (in April or May) and one week every fall (in September or October). If you need clothing, toys, games, puzzles, books, videos, CDs, DVDs, software, and electronics, we have it. We also have cribs and other newborn equipment, furniture, clothing of all kinds (including maternity and nursing wear) with children's sizes ranging from newborn to junior, outdoor play equipment (slides, playhouses, pools, climbing gyms, etc.) - anything and everything for your newborns, infants, toddlers, and school age children, up to their early teens. You will see over 100,000 items at each of our sales. In addition to children's stuff, we carry CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, and books for all ages. Parents need entertainment too, right? We mean, other than that which our kids provide us already...

If you would like irregular and not very often reminders about our sales, please e-mail: Don @ DanisDuds.com with your first & last names (middle initial, too, please). You will be issued a permanent consignor number at that time. Overzealous spam filtration may prevent us from reaching you, so please give us two or even three e-mail addresses if you have them. If your multiple addresses are under the same domain, like yahoo or gmail or hotmail, just give us one. Our "blast" e-mails are sent from another address, so you may never receive them. Our mailing list is nearing the 49,000 mark. Our reminder e-mails come from DanisDuds@Holstrom.com, if you have the option, please white-list that domain as well as DanisDuds.com.

We notify our customers of the sale locations and dates & times solely through our website and a very few e-mail reminders. We have been in business for 17 years. We have never allowed anyone to use our database, even though we have been offered substantial sums for a copy. At each sale, over 90% of our consignors have consigned with us before. We have regular consignors as far west as Ohio, north as New York, and south as the Carolinas. We believe this speaks well of our business.

Dani's Duds was named after our daughter, Danielle. You'll see her at our sales. Like our business, she's 17. Her birth spawned the idea for recycling: some of her duds (clothes) weren't even worn. We wanted other mothers to be able to recycle their un- or barely used children's things. And like our own things, we wanted them first rate. All items brought in for consignment are inspected before being accepted. You'll see our son, Donnie, too. This is indeed a family business. Quantities and items vary, as each sale is different; but we have much of what you need for your children. From the first sale of barely 1,500 items 17 years ago, our sales now offer well over 100,000 items. Bring your unneeded children's things and we will sell them; then you can buy the things you need. Since we are only open twice a year, we take all quantities (10-item minimum — no maximum), for any season.
