It seems that invite-only shopping sites are all the rage right now. And why wouldn't they be? For every man, woman or child that loves to be decked out in designer clothes, but can't afford the price tag, these invite-only sites are like a little slice of heaven on the Internet.
But it seems that one unique group of people has been missing out on these exclusive sales - babies. While there are some sites that have occasional sales on baby or kids clothing, a new site has just arrived - Totsy.com. Catering to the 0-7 age group and their seriously fashionable moms, this is one invite-only site you want to hook up with, stat.
And they don't just cover your baby's bottom - they also have sales on prenatal care products, baby gear, travel accessories, bedding and bath, toys, DVDs and educational materials. Plus, for every purchase you make, they'll plant a tree in the name of your child and show a little bit of love to Momma Earth.
Still not convinced to join? Here's a taste of what you're missing. Right now you can grab cashmere cotton receiving blankets from Dwell Studio for $35 (50% off the regular price) or gear from Mommy Couture starting at just $28! Oh, did I mention it's free to join? Really, it's a no lose situation here.
Lucky for us, the gals over at Totsy love About.com Baby Clothes so much they've offered up a special invitation code for all of you. Just head to TOTSY.com and click "I Have an Invitation Code." Then, use AboutBaby and you'll get access to all their great sales. Coming up in the next few days? Tori Spelling's line, Little Maven.
Don't wait - head over now and join up. Not only is it perfect timing for the holiday shopping season, the window shopping alone is worth the 30 seconds it takes to sign up.

As I was out this weekend, I couldn't believe the amount of people doing their holiday shopping! I typically don't start until right after Thanksgiving, but here at About.com, we realize that many of you will start early. So, in an effort to make your gift search a little easier, Guides on the Parenting Channel have gotten together to bring you the best in holiday gifts for all age ranges.
You can find inexpensive baby clothes gifts on my site, but you can also find other great gift ideas by browsing the below links. Be sure to bookmark this page for easy reference anytime you need a quick gift idea for the kids in your life!
In the last year, I've had no fewer than 15 friends give birth - really. In the beginning of 2010, not only will I be welcoming my own bundle of joy, so will an additional 7 co-workers and/or friends - all within a few weeks of each other! We didn't plan it that way, really!
As I approach the big day, I'm thinking not only of all the baby clothes I've collected, but also of all the baby clothes that were given to me but will go unused (wrong season/size, boy instead of girl, etc.) So how do I plan on ridding myself of these clothes, while getting new clothes for my daughter without spending a dime?
I'm hosting a baby clothes swap party. A concept so easy, I feel like everyone should be doing it!

November is a great time to shop at See Kai Run. Actually, any time is a great time to shop their baby shoes, but in November, for every pair you purchase, a second pair will be donated to Soles4Souls and the World Association for Children and Parents.
Although the partnership with Soles4Souls began in 2004, See Kai Run opened it up to their customers for the first time in 2008 and ended up donating 18,000 pairs of shoes in the process. Quite a testament to their loyal fan base and the commitment they share to ensuring that every child has a pair of shoes.
So don't wait. Many of you are beginning your holiday shopping early this year and a pair of baby shoes from See Kai Run is a perfect gift.
Compare prices on See Kai Run styles, shop directly at their website or find a retailer near you.
