The Points Page!
Join the Clubhouse. Get points.
Please look over the following information for some rough guidelines and points estimates for clothing collections.
Please keep in mind that we (“we” ha!) are one person. We’ll do our best to be consistent and fair. Point amounts may change according to need, season and other factors.
First: What are points worth?
Baseline, one Clubhouse point is worth the following at Baby Mama:
$1 for all secondhand clothing
33¢ for any new gifts or toys
Sometimes your points are worth more:
Clubhouse double point days
Special section sales
If you’re on our email list, you’ll find out about all Clubhouse events
What can you expect from your contribution:
Basic baby and kid clothing will earn you one point, but there are many exceptions:
1/2 point:
plain bodysuits
most leggings and shorts
basic pjs
2 points:
most 3T through 5T clothing
3 points:
basics from higher end brands
cool tees, simple dresses from Old Navy, Carter’s, Cat & Jack
5 points:
fun dresses and rompers
baseline for jeans, sweaters, button-down shirts, and matching sets
8 points:
fun pieces from higher end brand names
many baby buntings
10+ points:
really cool pieces from brand names
structured baby carriers in great condition
many jackets, snowsuits, winter boots, outdoor clothing pieces
In-season:
Right now we’re prioritizing the following:
prioritizing = more points (note this is up to our discretion)
Winter jackets, snow suits, baby buntings, cozy things
Sneakers, winter boots, rain boots
Holiday clothing especially from higher end brands
Sweaters and knits
Toddler clothing 2T - 5T
Check back frequently as our guidelines change seasonally and with need.
Getting Fewer Points
We don’t want you to get fewer points than you expect. Here are the most common reasons that happens.
0 points:
Fast fashion brands - like Shein and Amazon. We won’t waste the clothing but we don’t offer credit
Dirty clothing- if we have to put it through the wash, we can’t keep track of your pieces
Customized clothing - anything with vinyl applique or custom messaging: e.g. your baby’s name
Clothes that are damaged, stained, obviously altered or have strong odors
Items that are outside of our guidelines: we will donate them elsewhere
Clothing that doesn’t match our aesthetic
Tags missing or removed and we can’t tell the size and/or brand
Points deduction:
Clothing that is still good but shows obvious wear
Polyester clothing that should be cotton (excluding fleece, rain jackets, etc)
Higher end clothing that is heavily worn or damaged
Out of season clothing that we’ll have to store (sometimes)
Importantly: if we pick up the collection, it is subject to a pick up fee of 20 points
Also 0 points:
socks, hair ties, bibs, headbands, newborn hats - we accept these items and offer them for free
unused postpartum supplies - we accept these items and offer them for free
opened diapers - we accept these items and offer them for free
Whew! That’s a lot to process…
We try to be transparent about our process so that you feel good about your experience.
When we collect your clothing, we will provide you with a summary of your collection and the points awarded. We hope that part of the value you get from working with us is that we’ll come pick up your donation, saving you time and energy. We don’t use a consignment model because we want you to be able to use your points immediately and not have to wait months until sales are finalized.
