First Dibs Club
You know the feeling. Someone else got there first.
If you’re a serious thrifter or a die-hard bargain hunter, you already know the problem. The best pieces don’t last. Someone else spots them first, and by the time you get through the door, it’s gone.
Here’s the thing: our inventory never stops moving. We open with a full floor, but that’s not everything. We keep a reserve of items we haven’t put out yet, and new pieces are coming in constantly behind the scenes. If you want first access to what’s actually new, not just what’s left over, you need to be there before the doors open to everyone else.
That’s exactly what the First Dibs Club gives you: a standing two hour head start, every week, on everything new before the general public ever sees it.
And here’s the part that makes it even better. A portion of every First Dibs Club membership and Day Pass supports Gigi’s Gems Chihuahua Rescue, helping cover medication, special prescription food, and day to day care for ancient, medically fragile Chihuahuas who don’t have anywhere else to go. You get first pick of the good stuff, and a little dog gets help because of it.

Membership is one named adult per membership, and it’s yours for the year.
We Brought Back Layaway
Remember layaway? If you grew up with it, you remember the feeling: you’d set something aside, pay on it a little at a time, and take it home once it was paid off. No interest. No fees. No credit check. Just you, a plan, and something worth waiting for.
It nearly disappeared everywhere. We’re bringing it back, exclusively for First Dibs Club members, the same way we bring vintage treasures back to life on our shelves. It’s a vintage idea for a vintage kind of shop.
If layaway is new to you, here’s the short version: you pick out something you love, put a portion down, and pay the rest over time. Once it’s paid off, it’s yours. No surprises, no interest tacked on.
And if you’ve only ever known pay-over-time through an app on your phone, this is the original version of that idea, just without the fees or the fine print. See the full layaway terms here.
Not Ready to Commit for a Year?
Try the Early Bird Day Pass: one adult, one day, the full two hour First Dibs window, for $22. Available every week, not just opening day. It’s a taste of the First Dibs experience without the full membership, and if you fall in love, we can talk about putting that $22 toward your membership that same day.
A Few Things to Know
Opening morning admission is for the named member or Day Pass holder only, ID required at the door. Friends and family need their own pass, and Bring a Friend passes aren’t valid during Grand Opening.
After opening weekend, the regular First Dibs window moves to Sundays.
There are no automatic discounts, reward points, or holds built into this program. The two hour window is the whole point, and we want to protect what makes it special.
The Short Version
The $22 Early Bird Day Pass gets one adult into the two hour First Dibs window, any week you want to use it. The $49.95 annual First Dibs Club membership gets you that same early access every week for a year, plus layaway and everything else above.
And a portion of every purchase helps the little dogs at Gigi’s Gems get the care they need.
