M&C Clothing and Gifts

M&C Clothing and Gifts is New Hampshire’s premiere retail consignment store, established in 1990 by Karen Goddard as Mother and Child, a small shop focused on clothing for mothers and children. The business expanded over the years and was renamed M&C Clothing and Gifts to better reflect its evolution, becoming a comprehensive secondhand and gift retail destination. Located in Amherst, NH, the 11,000 square-foot store stocks designer brands and everyday essentials including clothing, footwear, accessories, athletic wear, and locally handmade products for all family members. The business emphasizes sustainability and community involvement through its reduce, repurpose, reuse, recycle, and rethink principles, with a monthly Community Giving Days program that donates sales portions to local organizations including Bridges, PMEC, the Amherst Junior Women’s Club, and Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Unsold consignment items are donated to local nonprofits and community partners, keeping money circulating within the community while promoting sustainable fashion and conscious consumption.
