This Wall Pocket by Plastisock is a hip way to keep things organized. I love the green and white print and the orange trim adds a cool touch. Three pockets hold essentials, from diapers to toys and books. Six gromets attach it to the wall. You can purchase one of these fun pieces on sale for $48 (half price) at ittikid.com.

Here is a great deal if you are looking for a high quality nursing bra that won’t destroy your budget. Made by Second Nature, this bra is available in a number of sizes. Designed by Anna Cecilia, its zippered cups are made to be comfortable and easy to use. It is made of microfiber for comfort and quick drying. At $10.49, this bra is a steal–especially since you will pay more for a nursing bra at a discount store like Target or Walmart. The original retail was $39.99. You can purchase one at kidsurplus.com.

Marty is a friendly, if a little goofy stuffed friend from Ingri. Handmade in the USA, this toy is constructed of naugahyde and can be wiped clean. He is definitely unique–which is nice in a sea of highly commercial stuffed animals. Although designed for older children (the recommendation is ages 6 and up), I think he would be a great decoration in a younger child’s modern bedroom. This toy originally retailed for $70, but is currently on sale for $35 at babygeared.com.

My mother is a children’s librarian, and Good Boy Fergusis one of her favorite picture books. Subsequently, my children have enjoyed it as well. I didn’t realize it was so popular until I came across this nightgown. Available in toddler sizes, it is currently on sale for $19 (down from $33). This would be a great gift for a child who knows the story. If your child hasn’t yet met the lovable Fergus, why not pair this with a copy of the book? You can buy it at mylittlepumpkin.com.

A colleague of mine introduced me to mamabargains.com, a Web site that offers a variety of unpredictable deals. The site works differently than most retail sites. Only one deal is offered at a time and until it sells out. Items sell for 50-80% off of original retail. You must log in several times a day to see all of the offerings, which can make it either fun or frustrating, depending on how you look at it. So far, I haven’t seen any deals that I can’t live without, but I now know others who are hooked. You can check out the deals at mamabargains.com.

Here are some very cute socks that are currently on sale as part of the Gap Holiday sale. There is just something about the shape and color of these socks that appeals to me. They would definitely match a lot of outfits in my younger daughter’s closet. The set of three pairs originally retailed for $10.50, but is currently on sale for $7.99. It is available in infant sizes up to 24 months, and can be purchased at gap.com.

For a limited time, you can save on a number of gorgeous wraps at Sugar Sweet Baby’s End of the Year Clearance Event. Prices of clearance items range from $50-$60. Included is this great pink and off white bamboo wrap which I personally own and love ($60). You can check out all of the clearance items at sugarsweetbaby.com. Instructions for use are included on the site.

What’s better than saving money? Well, getting stuff for free, but I didn’t find an offer for a coupon for that so this is the next best thing! Do you use Johnson’s products on your babe? Get $1 off of their 2-1 shampoos by clicking here. There’s a no more tangles solution for curly hair or straight hair, whichever your child requires.

I scored some great deals at the Land of Nod Winter Wonder Sale last year, and it looks like there are some equally-great finds to be had this time around. One great deal I saw was this organic Under the Nile Farm Fresh Veggie Crate for $18.95 (down from $30). We have some of these veggies and they are a lot of fun. You can purchase this set at landofnod.com, or check out the entire sale at landofnod.com/sale. Be ready to sift through a lot of superficial markdowns to find real savings.

Here is an incredible buy if you are looking for a double stroller. Mountain Buggy has a great reputation for go-everywhere strollers, and this double is no exception. This durable stroller has 12″ air-filled tires that can navigate any terrain. A carry cot allows you to use one seat for an infant. This stroller originally retailed for $1,149.99, but you can purchase one on sale for $499.99 at babyage.com. Black is the only color available at this price.

I was just thinking the other day that my four year old needs a robe. We usually don’t seem to be home enough to use one, but I’ve been home for the last few weeks, and she has taken to lounging about in her pajamas during the day. I was therefore pretty excited to come upon this great deal at Nordstrom’s, where this Sweet Ivy robe has been marked down to less than $10. Originally $29.95, it is currently on sale for $9.90. The catch, however, is that very limited sizes are available, and hers, unfortuantely, was not one of them. You can check out this, and other holiday markdowns, at shop.nordstrom.com.

Pottery barn Kids is currently having their annual Happy Holiday Sale. You can find many items that are on sale for up to 75% off their original price. I have found some great deals at this sale in the past. This year, some great deals include this wooden airplane set for $29.99 (It was originally $69.), an $89 quilted diaper bag for $39.99, or a silver charm key chain for $7.99 (down from $22). You can  shop the sale at potterybarnkids.com. My one piece of advice is to read the item descriptions carefully as I have been fooled a few times. Once, for example, I bought what I thought was a felt tree house with fairies. It turns out that it was just the tree house, and the fairies were sold separately, and sold out. We’re still trying to figure out what to do with that thing!

Kate Mack is probably best known for bathing suits, but they make some great coats as well. My youngest daughter is sporting an exceptionally-cute Kate Mack coat this winter, and I’ve been looking at their line for older girls as well. I love the fun shape of this pink Razzle Dazzle jacket, and the faux fur collar adds a little extra fun. It is a perfect topper for casual winter looks. Right now, you can purchase this warm winter jacket on sale for $64.80 (down from $108). It is available in sizes from 4-6X. You can check it out at littleposhprincess.com.
