Big news: The Relove Hub now takes shoes, too! Scroll down to meet our new shoe recycling partner, Wearable Collections.

Big news, Greenpoint! Giggles & Wiggles is officially a Carousel Relove Hub — your neighborhood drop-off spot for giving your kiddo's outgrown clothes a second story (and scoring instant shopping credit while you're at it).

What's a Relove Hub?

It's the easiest way to go full circle and save: bring in your little one's best outgrown looks, and Carousel turns them into shopping credit. Fewer clothes in landfills, more room in your dresser, and a happier planet for curious minds to grow up on. Win, win, wiggle.

How it works

1. Gather the goods. Round up gently used baby and kids' clothing (up to size 8) and light outerwear.
2. Swing by the shop. Drop off your items any time during our regular hours — we'll happily take them off your hands while you fill out a quick registration form.
3. Get credit! Within 10 days of your drop-off, Carousel will email you with your available credit amount — ready to spend.

What earns the most credit?

Carousel awards merchandise credit for in-demand, in-season styles in excellent condition. Clothing from premium brands and items made with organic materials earn the most — so those barely-worn organic cotton overalls? Pure gold.

Why we love it

We opened Giggles & Wiggles to make it easier (and more fun) to support growing feet and curious minds — and being a Relove Hub is that mission in action. It keeps great clothes circulating in the neighborhood, teaches our littles about reuse, and gives Greenpoint families one more reason to gather. See you at the shop!

New! Shoe recycling with Wearable Collections

Those sneakers that have stomped their very last puddle? Don't toss them! Giggles & Wiggles now accepts "end-of-use" shoes in partnership with Wearable Collections, a New York City clothing and textile collection service that's been giving millions of items a second life.

Why shoes deserve better than the trash

Shoes are some of the trickiest things to recycle, so most end up in the garbage — where they can sit in a landfill for decades. There's a better ending to that story: Wearable Collections keeps over 95% of what they collect out of the landfill, making sure shoes and textiles get reused or recycled instead of buried. Every pair you drop off is one less pair in the landfill — and one more little lesson for our kiddos that nothing loved ever really goes to waste.

How it works

1. Round up the retirees. Gather up the shoes your family is truly done with — outgrown, scuffed, worn through, or just plain done. Keep pairs together!
2. Drop them at the shop. Bring them by any time during our regular hours — no appointment needed.
3. We handle the rest. We pass them along to Wearable Collections, who make sure they stay out of the landfill and find their next chapter.

Please note: shoe drop-offs are separate from our Carousel clothing program above — clothing earns Carousel credit, while shoes are simply a good deed for the planet.
