Local tips
- Bring a reusable bag or two, as you may find more children’s clothes and toys than expected and plastic bags are not always available.
- Sort through your children’s outgrown but good-quality items before visiting so you can donate them and free up space at home.
- Check opening hours in advance; they are shorter than regular retail shops and focused on specific weekdays and times.
- If you are looking for seasonal items like snowsuits or rainwear, come a few weeks before the season to have the best selection.
- Have your child’s current sizes noted down, as labels and fits can vary between brands and older garments.

A children-first thrift shop in the heart of Herning
BØRNEHJØRNET sits on Bethaniagade, a quiet street just off Herning’s compact centre, and feels more like a neighbourhood living room than a regular shop. The focus here is squarely on children: racks of small-size jackets and trousers line the walls, while shelves brim with picture books, puzzles and toys that have already brought joy to one family and are ready to delight another. Prices are deliberately kept low, making it easier for parents and caregivers to clothe fast-growing kids without straining the household budget. The space is modest in size, but carefully organised so that families can browse without feeling overwhelmed. You will usually find a mix of practical everyday items and a few surprising treasures, from dress-up costumes to sturdy outdoor clothes for Denmark’s changeable weather. It is the kind of place where people come as much for the atmosphere as for the bargains.A community hub supported by social charity work
BØRNEHJØRNET is part of a broader network of social work linked to a Christian charity, adding a sense of purpose to every donated onesie or toy car. Behind the counter and out on the shop floor, volunteers help sort, display and sell donations, with proceeds supporting social efforts for vulnerable people in Denmark. Many regulars drop by not only to buy but also to donate clothes their children have outgrown, closing the loop in a simple, local circular economy. Conversations with the staff often turn to everyday life, parenthood and community news, reinforcing the feeling that this is a meeting place where everyone is welcome, regardless of income or background.What you will find on the shelves
Inside, the selection changes constantly depending on recent donations, but certain categories are nearly always present. Expect baby and toddler clothing, children’s shoes, rainwear and winter gear, plus toys ranging from wooden blocks to board games and dolls. A smaller section is often devoted to equipment like changing mats, high chairs or push-along toys, though availability is never guaranteed. Books, picture stories and sometimes DVDs or family-friendly games add to the mix, making it easy to put together an inexpensive rainy-day kit. Because everything is pre-owned, you should be prepared to check items for size and condition, but overall the quality is carefully screened before it reaches the shop floor.Slow browsing and family-friendly atmosphere
The pace at BØRNEHJØRNET is unhurried. Limited opening hours mean the shop is at its liveliest during mid-morning and afternoon, but even then the atmosphere remains relaxed. Prams and strollers are a common sight, and staff are used to children testing out a toy or leafing through a book while adults browse the racks. Lighting is simple and functional rather than glamorous, and music, if played at all, is kept low so conversations come easily. For parents who enjoy hunting for second-hand finds, this is a gentle environment where you can take your time and let children explore under a watchful eye.Sustainability woven into everyday family life
Choosing BØRNEHJØRNET is also a small but tangible contribution to more sustainable consumption. Children outgrow clothes at a remarkable pace, and extending the life of garments, toys and books makes a real difference in reducing waste. Here, sustainability is not a slogan but a practical routine: you bring what you no longer need, and you leave with exactly what fits your child right now. Because the shop is centrally located in Herning, it is easy to combine a visit with other errands on foot or by bicycle, further reducing the need for car trips. In that sense, BØRNEHJØRNET quietly shows how community, economy and environment can align around something as everyday as children’s clothing.Planning your visit around opening hours
Opening times are more limited than mainstream shops, typically centred on late mornings and afternoons on weekdays. It is worth planning your visit around these windows so you have enough time to browse, try on items and chat with staff if you wish. Stock tends to turn over steadily, so if you are looking for seasonal gear such as snowsuits or rainwear, coming a bit ahead of peak season can improve your chances. Most visitors spend from half an hour to a full hour inside, depending on how many children they are shopping for and how closely they examine the rails. The compact size of the store means you can see most of what is on offer without rushing, making BØRNEHJØRNET a low-stress, highly practical stop in a family day in Herning.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
