| - the owner is super knowledgeable and helpful, first of all. she obviously isn't in the business just to make money, or by chance, she clearly genuinely cares and knows about the products she carries. i have yet to attend the cloth diaper class, but i am going to, 100% sure of that. i will also be buying all of my diapers from her stores. i believe in supporting a local business, and honestly this is the ONLY store ive been able to walk in and feel and see several types of cloth diapers in person, and accessories too. then, as a cherry on top have an employee and the owner herself be so willing to help and share knowledge on the different diapers to boot! the closest i have come to being able to get any kind of a feel for cloth diapering is a babies r us, where i found 2-3 in stock bum genius 4.0 diapers, and 3-4 g diapers (but they were in boxed packaging) even if i loved them and knew ALL about them and everything else, they had a TOTAL of less than 10 diapers on the shelf. if you are walking into a store to buy your diaper stash, you need more than that! Additionally, some variety would be nice and babies r us had the most plain and basic. ZOOLIKINS has, im estimating, somewhere around AT LEAST 15 brands of diapers, and several prints of all of them, and multiple sizing options for the ones that it applies to. the patterns were ADORABLE and honestly, i felt her prices were EXTREMELY reasonable, really no more than what you would pay online.
Thats just the diapers.
Now the toys, books, clothes, handy new mommy do-dads (everything from spill pads to car air-conditioning extenders) were cute, innovative, and not the everyday, run of the mill find. Again, all at what i feel are extremely reasonable prices.
Overall, even though i have to drive to Scottsdale and Chandler to visit these stores, i will HAPPILY make the trip over and over to spend my money at this store. The quality, uniqueness and price of the products are high, and the customer service is unmatched.
i also feel it useful to mention that the entire variety of classes available are free to attend, and who can beat that?!
