Monkey in the Middle Kids & Maternity Consignment Event

A vacant retail space in the Palm Desert Costco Shopping Center will come alive when Monkey in the Middle Swings back into the Coachella Valley. The Deserts only multi-family consignment event -- the 3-day Monkey in the Middle Kids & Maternity Event Sale, offers the community a twice yearly opportunity to Sell- Shop- Save newborn to preteen items. Monkey in the Middle gathers consignors from around the desert to sell their gently used kids and maternity items – much to the delight of shoppers looking to purchase high quality used toys, baby gear, clothing, furniture and more at significantly lower prices than full retail. What’s more, many unsold items will go directly to local charity -Martha's Village and Kitchen, one of the largest providers of homeless services in the Coachella Valley working towards a day that everyone in need has food, housing, clothing, healthcare, an education, and the means to remain self-sufficient.

Monkey in the Middle is a win-win approach that allows consigners to liquidate items their families have grown out of and receive 65-70% of their selling price – far higher than traditional consignment stores – while shoppers can secure necessary items for their growing families at far more affordable prices. Monkey in the Middle also offers a Gift Shop Boutique featuring local and Southern California mom-based businesses. These handmade and new boutique items help strengthen the local Coachella Valley economy.
