I’ve extolled the virtues of shopping for secondhand children’s clothing many times. One of the perks, however, is when the online secondhand shops also carry quality new children’s clothing. Turtles Tiny Treasures is one such store. I found this great 2 Pc Boys Summer Outfit by American Living, brand new, for just $9.99 at TurtlesTinyTreasures.com. It’s available in my son’s size as well. This set retails for $60 normally. It consists of a forest green polo and plaid shorts, perfect for our next trip to our favorite mountain golf resort, when my son wants to go golfing with Daddy.

It’s Memorial Day weekend, and that means  the much anticipated first trip to the swimming pool for many of us.  While I didn’t enjoy getting my post baby body back into a bathing suit, I was excited to deck my little ones out in the matching Baby Lulu suits I bought on sale this winter. They looked great, and had a lot of fun splashing around.

While my girls are wearing suits from older collections, the looks are similar to these suits from the more recent Round Flower line. I love the one piece on my three year old, and my baby has a two piece in the same print. These suits are very soft. They have much more of a fabric feel than most bathing suits, which is a definite plus in my book. I love the fun, feminine, but always modest cut as well. These are upscale all the way.

You can purchase either version of the suit for under $40 at babylulu.com. We also love the floppy matching cotton hats to protect heads and eyes from the sun.

Here’s a darling little Valentine’s Day outfit for your daughter. This red 2 piece Pink Heart set from AnnLoren is 100% cotton, with a fluffy pink chenille heart on the top and jersey pants with a matching soft pink chenille border on the leg. The set is machine washable, always a plus, and is available in toddler sizes 2/3T, 4/5T, 6X, 7/8, and 8/10. You can purchase it for $24.99 at Overstock.com.

Here’s a great gift idea for your favorite infant this holiday season. Every child needs a warm hat and mittens, and some parents are more designer-conscious than others. With the price of this 2 piece Air Jordan Infant Beanie & Mittens Set, one can afford to be designer-conscious. Both beanie and mittens are woven in a lightweight, breathable acrylic material, and both also carry the Jumpman Air Jordan logo embroidered onto them. The set comes in black only, in one size that is supposed to fit all infants. You can purchase this set for just $25 at DrJays.com.

These Zebra 2-piece Hooded Snowsuits by Kushies are so cute they make you wish for snow just so you can dress your children in these and see how adorable they look! This set of two snowsuits would work wonderfully as a gift for a mom with twins, or just if you want to give her an option to change snowsuits from day to day for one child. They are quilted and padded for extra warmth and comfort, with faux sherpa lining in the jacket and the bib-style snowpants. The ankles and calves have nylon lining. Each snowsuit comes with matching mittens and with a plush zebra.

The set comes in a navy and fuchshia combination only (shown above). It is available in size 12 months only, on sale for $154.95 (regularly $164.95) at SpiffyBaby.com.

We are planning on starting a holiday tradition of giving one present, a pair of pajamas, on Christmas Eve. The Gymboree Holiday Truck Two-Piece Gymmies would be an adorable choice for our little guy and for other kids with a love of all things vehicle. With an almost vintage style print, the pajamas are 100% Cotton Rib and look downright cozy. They’re easy for kids to pull on and pull off as they please and done in pleasant colors, all part of the charm of the Home for the Holidays collection.

In sizes 6 months right up to 3 years, wrap them up this holiday for a sale price of $12.39 from Gymboree.com.

I’ve been eyeing this cute set from Baby Nay for my toddler, although she doesn’t really need any more clothes right now.  This Frida 2 Pc Long Sleeve Swing Set is just so perfectly fall.  I love the colors and the print, and the contrasting ruffle is the perfect finishing touch.  I love the swing cut look for tops–they just seem so comfortable for active little bodies, and Baby Nay clothes have held up quite well in my previous experience.

This outfit is available in sizes from 12 months to 4T you can purchase the set for $52 at forgetmenotkids.com.

When my daughter was in sixth grade she went with her class on a weekend camping trip up to Camp Tatapochon. When I was packing her bag I put together “outfits” so that all she had to do was pick one. She did get a little ribbing from her cousin (who was in her class) but it actually made things easier for her. So you know I like this Mini Makeover 2-Piece Baby Spare Clothing Kit by Babysparewear.

This would be useful for when you’re going on an outing where you don’t want to take a fully-packed diaper bag but you still want to be prepared for changes. Maybe you’re not planning on spending the whole day at grandma’s but just in case the day runs into the evening, you’ll have a comfortable and practical set of clothes for baby. Keep a kit in your van or at grandma’s house. It’s like earthquake preparedness - you never know when you’ll need those extra essential items.

Each kit comes with two tees and a pair of pants and are prepacked in a chic travel case. The kit is available in sizes: 0-6mos, 6-12mos, 12-18mos, and comes in Fuchsia/Gray and Navy/Gray. It costs $28.99 at BabyAnt.com
