Turning Clutter into Community

Hi, we’re Kathryn and Sarah—two local Northland mums passionate about helping families declutter, save money, and support our community. We know firsthand how quickly kids outgrow clothes, toys, and gear, and we wanted to create a fun, easy way for families to pass on their pre-loved treasures while earning a little extra cash.

The idea for the ReLove ReCycle Kids Market started over a coffee chat when we realized there wasn’t a local market dedicated to babies, kids, and teens. So, we decided to create one! Our mission is simple: to help local families buy and sell quality pre-loved items, reduce waste, and build a supportive community.

At Whangārei’s ONLY dedicated market for kids aged 0-16, you’ll find everything from clothing and toys to bikes and nursery essentials. It’s an affordable, fun, and sustainable way to give outgrown items a second life and discover amazing deals. Plus, no two markets are the same—each event brings fresh stalls, unique finds, and a vibrant atmosphere for the whole family to enjoy.

But it’s not just about shopping! We’re also passionate about giving back. Each market supports local causes—we’ve raised funds for KidsCan through our delicious sausage sizzle and proudly supported the remarkable ReSport Charitable Trust with every coffee sold. We also love partnering with local businesses to offer exclusive giveaways, like the chance to WIN a month of swimming lessons with Active Attitude when you book a stall.

Whether you're decluttering, bargain hunting, or simply enjoying a family day out, we’d love for you to join us and be part of the ReLove ReCycle community!

Follow us for updates, and we can’t wait to see you at our next market!
