La Costa Kids on North El Camino Real in Encinitas is an upscale children's resale and retail boutique carrying infant-through-teen apparel, shoes, baby gear, strollers, and toys from brands typically found at Nordstrom-tier retailers. New ownership in 2025 brought a sister-led management team that expanded the buying program to three days per week, screening each item for brand authenticity and like-new condition before it reaches the same family-focused shopping corridor that includes Magical Child. A dedicated new-merchandise section stocks baby-shower gifts, diaper bags, and seasonal accessories alongside the consignment racks, giving the store a hybrid retail-and-resale format. Sellers receive either immediate cash or a higher-rate store credit for accepted items, and the shop donates pieces it cannot sell, keeping excess inventory within the Encinitas community rather than landfill, an approach complemented by the children's book selection at Barnes & Noble on El Camino Real. Highest-demand consignment categories include snow-sport outerwear, dance and soccer footwear, and formal-occasion outfits sized from infant 0-3 months through junior XL.
