Kids’ stuff—baby stuff, in particular—is expensive as hell. Chances are, the kiddo will only be using it for a few weeks until the next growth spurt. Swaddles are going for $40 a pop brand new these days, and carriers are in the hundreds. Thankfully, there’s Stellie Bellies. All four Pinellas locations are carefully organized and packed with knowledgeable staff. What started as a single store in St. Pete has grown over the last 20 years into the best place for like-new baby, kids, and maternity goods on the cheap. Plus, you can bring in your recently outgrown toys, furniture, and clothing and get credit towards future purchases. Chances are, whatever little one needs/wants next is available upcycled at Stellie’s for a quarter of the cost of new. Parents, friends of parents, and grandparents take note. Your mom friend thanks you in advance.
