They carry baby and kids&#8217; clothes, women&#8217;s clothes, used baby equipment, and some new products crafted by moms. I stumbled across it completely by chance, and I started flipping through some of their maternity items. A lovely navy blouse-and-tank set caught my eye, and for $11.99 the price was right. I placed my order online, and because I didn&#8217;t have my wallet with me, I chose the option for a telephone confirmation of my order.<\/p>\n<p>Since one of the proprietors, Laura, lives literally right around the corner from me, she sent me an e-mail last night offering to personally drop it off at my house, and she let me pay in cash on the spot as well. She won me over as a fan for life when she tapped gently a few times on the door when she arrived in mid-afternoon (and prime nap time) rather than ringing the doorbell.<\/p>\n<p>The blouse combo was in store-bought condition, far better quality than you see in many consignment shops. You&#8217;ll be impressed with their online presentation, too &#8211; take a look and tell me what you think. From the colourful tissue and gift-quality paper bag tied with raffia to the chocolate coins stapled to the invoice, it&#8217;s obvious these women care deeply about their company and the products they are selling. Really, I&#8217;ve never seen a more lovely package from any retailer, online or otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>I am so impressed with the incredible service, the wonderful concept, and the charming manner of the proprietor that I can&#8217;t wait to spend more money at ZigZag. And when I&#8217;m done with my maternity stuff &#8211; because three kids is more than enough, thanks! &#8211; I&#8217;ll be looking into selling some of my better-quality stuff with them, too.<\/p>\n<p>Honest, I&#8217;m not getting any benefit to rave effusively about ZigZag Boutique, nor have they asked me to promote them. But when you stumble across a little gem like this, it&#8217;s only right you should tell your friends!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every now and then, you stumble across a company that you want to tell all your friends about.
