STAIN REMOVER PEN

By far, my #1 choice for spot cleaning is the stain removal pen by Dryel…it’s unicorn magic! The 2-pack is much more economical if you want to test it out, but it comes in singles as well. Plus, there’s an at-home kit to save on dry cleaning. 

Handheld Steamer

Removing wrinkles is essential if you sell clothing IMO. I suggest a standing steamer, but a solid handheld is a great start.

Shipping Scale

If you don’t invest in anything else, buy a scale! Purchasing ACCURATE shipping rates is imperative to maximize your profits. This is the first scale I ever bought and I still use it. I love that you can move the display screen around – very helpful with large packages.

GOO GONE

This is a must for anyone who loves to source at thrift stores. It removes stickers, marker (which can ruin the bottom of shoes!) and more. 

STICKER REMOVER

Sticky, icky, gooey, pesky price tags or other stickers can really detract from an item you’re trying to sell. This especially helps hard surfaces.

TAKE NOTES

Measurements, storage location, sourcing spots, cost of inventory, etc. Keep track of your info with this festive 6×9 lined notebook (Get green, too).

Shipping Essentials

Professional and secure packaging is critical. Check out a few products I use regularly to ship orders.

PHOTO FINISH

Letter Opener

Retro for the win! Use this to easily photograph curled or damaged garment tags (especially if your nails aren’t quite camera ready😉).

Photo Light Box

This portable photo studio is the perfect kickstart for smaller items. Despite the weather forecast, get “natural” lighting every time. 

Jewelry Display

This necklace and earring display is stunning! The silhouette brings jewelry to life, and the smooth resin texture makes lint & dust easy to clean.
