All good things....

Must come to an end? That's how the saying goes, and sadly-it's true for our brick and mortar store. February will be the last month of Baby, Naturally's storefront! We are continuing with our online store where we will always offer free, local delivery! I have so many wonderful memories here over the past 7 years. My youngest daughter was a little nursing baby when I started, and took her first steps right here in the store. I love being part of the heart of downtown. I love my customers. I love seeing expectant moms come in, and still see them years later and several pregnancies later. I love the changes made during the downtown revitalization project! There is so much I will miss. Please remember, WE WILL STILL SELL ONLINE! The website will remain and Baby, Naturally will remain- http://www.babynaturallyonline.com/. Our phone number will still be 765-BABY.




Q & A



Will I still be able to buy hard to find products locally?- Yes! Whatever you see on the website will be here locally and available for free delivery.


Can I still get nursing bras? Yes! All of our nursing bras come from Birth & Baby in Lind, Washington. You can order directly from her ( birthandbaby.com ) or you can order them from me and I will do a weekly pick-up, bringing them back so you can try them on.

Can I still get BJ's BBQ sauce? Yes! It will be on the website and as always, we are happy to deliver locally!

Can I still get order diaper cakes? Yes! I will always do custom orders and have already made orders on the website.

How do I order? The website is the easiest way to order, with an option for local delivery so you won't be charged shipping. Our phone number will remain the same! 765-BABY (2229). Call anytime! Keep us on Facebook! I will always tell you about new products I have to offer and keep you updated and informed on whatever is going on. I'm happy to offer free gift wrapping too!

What about gift certificates? If you have an unused gift certificate, please use it as soon as possible. They won't expire, so you can use them for website purchases also.

Can I return or exchange clearance items? Starting February 1st, we will not be able to accept any returns on sale items. We will offer an exchange for the first 2 weeks of February.

When is your last day? The last day we will be open is February 25th.

Will you be having a store-wide clearance sale? Most of the inventory will be discounted. The first week of February most items will be 25% off. The second week, 30-50% off. The third week, 60-75% off. There will be 3 weeks in which you can still get some great deals! Items that sell well online, such as Medela products, will be regular price. Most of the items from our local vendors who are selling here will still be regular price, though a few will be on sale. Shop early for the best selection and late for the best deals!

Are you selling fixtures?
No. All of the fixtures have been sold.

Is your building going to be available to lease?
No. You will be seeing a brand new store opening in this spot and you will still be able to buy great children's stuff locally! More details to come!

What will you do when the store closes? I'm going to be able to focus on the online portion of the store, and still be home to take care of the most neglected thing in my life- my house and family! I'll still work part time in the evenings, but I truly feel this much needed time to focus on home is a blessing.

Thank you all for your business- it's been wonderful working in the heart of downtown doing something so fun!
Love,
Danette

  1. Wow Danette. I'm sorry to hear that! I'm sure it must have been a difficult decision for you and your family! Best wishes in the new direction your "store" is taking! Susan
