Hi, Cute Stuff

Because I live in a small(ish) town, and because I don't like to drive much, our family doesn't have many new clothes. There aren't many options in our town, and I don't want to drive 45 minutes to purchase clothing because, well, I'm lazy. But last week Melea of the Freebies2Deals website mentioned that Target.com had a promo code for 15% off, and if you purchased $50 worth of certain things you get free shipping. Then she suggested that school will be starting soon, so maybe you (I) could shop for school clothes.

And by mentioning that, she created a monster. I got on and purchased school clothing for both of my boys, and I have been perusing other clothing websites ever since. Why had I never thought of online shopping before now???

We moved Kaitlyn into her own bedroom and full-size crib a week ago. It has been better for all of us, meaning I can't hear her when she makes small noises all night long. My sister gave me/Kaitlyn a nice, fuzzy, light green crib sheet and I decided I was in the market for a matching crib bumper. I looked up The Land of Nod because their stuff is SO CUTE. And I found this stunning bumper for only $79.99. I love love love their stuff. I just wonder if the threads they use are made of real gold?

I've also been looking at the Janie and Jack website, and they have some really cute girl stuff on sale right now. I can almost afford the sale stuff.

Are there any other kids' clothing/bedding/accessories sites you know about that I can pine for and then not purchase admire?

(Before I posted this, my friend Megan suggested Crazy 8. I had never heard of it before, but they have great stuff. Keep sending me suggestions!)

I shop online constantly. Many times, I will look online to decide if it's worth it for me to go to the store and check it out. Welcome to your new addiction.

I'm slightly addicted (ok completely) to Old Navy and The Children's Place. For the Children's Place there's almost always a 10% off code and sometimes 15 or 20. They have huge clearance sales at the end of each season and shipping is always $5 no matter how much you buy. Love it!!! Oh and their most of their pants have the adjustable elastic in them if you happen to know any kids who are tall but slender...

Oh, I love online shopping! I did almost all my christmas shopping online this year!

Missy said...

Oh, shopping online! Got the bug, huh? Try Dimples and Dandelions, Children's Place, Gymboree, Pumpkin Patch... Yes, I have a problem!

JulieP said...

I heart online shopping. CHILDRENS PLACE. Especially this time of year. I usually buy their stuff on clearance and save it for the next year :: fab deals. Old Navy and Gap have great online deals, too.

Better than where to shop is the deals for shopping. I NEVER EVER EVER buy anything online without going to the site retailmenot.com first. You probably already know about it - I usually the last person to hear about anything! You put in the url for the site you're shopping at, and it will give you any online codes for deals at that site. I've saved SO MUCH money that way; either with an extra 20% (or something) off, or free shipping on things.

We've got plenty of stores and malls here, and it still saves me time and money to do lots of shopping online.

I don't know, I think I like you too much to feed your addiction. =P Amazon.com rocks the casbah in many areas, but I don't know about clothing...

CB said...

Ahhh you are getting sucked in!!
I too am an online shopper. I really really hate going to the malls, etc...I hate the crowds and looking through stuff - I guess I am not a shopper. But online it is a whole different ball of wax - everything is neat, clean, looks good, good deals, no crowds. Oh yeah it is easy to get hooked!!
BTW Target is my favorite!

Jessie said...

I pretty much only shop online because of my location, and because I feel like I can do easy research to get it cheaper online. You can almost always figure out free shipping, which is the only way to go. But really, it probably costs me the shipping costs in gas if I were to drive to the store anyway.

I love Eddie Bauer and then there's Anthropologie. I've never bought anything from there, but I want everything...clothes, dishes, bedding...sigh.

Jessie said...

Oh, and I almost never buy clothing either. I have so many sad things that are at least 10 years old. Lame.

Me (aka Danielle) said...

I do the majority of my shopping online. I do a lot of my "window" shopping that way as well. Then, when I get to the store, all I have to do is try it on.

Mary said...

Now that I don't get out as much, I do a lot of shopping online...except for clothes! Everytime I do, it ends badly...plus little boys clothes REALLY have to jump off the page for me to want to buy it...then I put it in the shopping cart online, and never end up buying it.

I love shopping online! Unfortunately, I have no real ideas for crib bumpers. I got one at Target that was adorable for Sophia. I actually made the one I used for Bria and Chloe, but it had seen its days by the time Sophia was born. :)

Kayla said...

We love Crazy 8! It is a division of gymboree. My mom got Shelby tons of stuff there when she was a baby. She has a few things from there now, but my mom buys most of Shelby's clothes and they mostly come from Kohls and Target. You can shop online at Kohls though. Check it out!

The Yoder's Five said...

Oh my.....Old Navy and Target are pretty much the only reasons why I go to St. George, but I love shopping their online stores as well for the entire family. They have the best prices and their clothes fit my long, skinny girl the best. If you ever need a shopping buddy, I'm THERE!

PS. If you become a fan of Old Navy on facebook, you find out about all sorts of deals going on.

Reeders said...

Well if you love online shopping, you will love the flash sales. I have to check them EVERY day... not that I buy things every day but I almost wish I could. I will send some invites to you through your email. They have different items on sale every day!

The Kooky Queen--Rachel said...

TOTALLY!!!!!!!!!! I live in a tiny town too so rather than spend $30 in gas to get to Provo, I shop online. My daughter's school clothes? ALL online! Kohl's has great sales too! They often have 30% off sales with free shipping and THEN $10 back for every $50 you spend! A GOLD MINE!

Romney Family said...

I love shopping online. That is how I have done ALyssa's school shopping and x-mas shopping minus one or two things for the past 3 years. I love it and there are such great deals and you don't have to deal with the crowds!!!

Jen said...

I don't do online shopping a whole lot, but I do love the Children's Place. Super cute, and really affordable.

We moved Corbin into his own crib a few weeks ago. It is sooo much better. He's still waking up about once a night, but I'm not waking up to all his little squeaks and wiggles anymore. It's amazing how much lighter you sleep as a mom, huh?

Adrienne said...

with 4 kids, I am ALWAYS shopping online. I watch couponing blogs for deals and love Children's place with the sales and codes. Once I got some great deals at Tulle for ME! of course I love shopping on Craigslist cause I love a good bargain! And then there is amazon, ebay...i'm addicted to shopping online!
