Join us today for an uplifting peek into Heather Mayes’ world, where thrifting meets innovation at Thrifty Minis. As a mom of three, Heather transformed her knack for finding high-quality second-hand children’s clothing into a flourishing business that captures the heart of sustainable fashion.
The Journey Begins
Heather initially turned to thrifting as a way to stylishly dress her kids while staying within a budget. Realizing she couldn’t pass up the incredible finds that weren’t in her kids’ sizes, Heather launched Thrifty Minis. Her mission? To rescue and rehome these gems to other appreciative families, all while promoting sustainable fashion.
Partnership and Progress
Heather first heard about Thryft Ship through her friend Bailee, the business owner of BB Thrift about 6 months ago. Since then, she has been using us to ship out her packages, enabling her to streamline her business operations and spend more time on her work and with her family.
Cultivating a Digital Community
Heather’s Instagram venture has evolved into a vibrant community hub where thrifty moms connect over shared interests. By showcasing her finds and engaging with followers through stories and giveaways, Heather has fostered a supportive network that extends well beyond transactions. 📱

Celebrating Success
Thrifty Minis is marking its first successful year, a milestone that Heather is celebrating with a special giveaway and the launch of exciting new collections. This anniversary isn’t just a business achievement—it’s a celebration of community, sustainability, and the personal satisfaction of making a difference. 🎉
