    Default Clothes for DS

    My DS yet again has out grown all his clothes they all fitted three days ago. He will be moving on to the 6-9month size.

    Where is the best place to get clothes for him. Every one I know has had girls so hand me downs arnt an option. Don't want to spend a lot as he will need a new wardrobe in 3 more months.

    Thanks in advance.

    Check your local buy - sell for clothing bundles.

    Is there an active NCT group in your area? They often have sales.

    Car boot sales often have bargains especially vests and babygrows - at that age they are hardly going to be dirty or worn out are they?

    Have you looked on gumtree? You can get big bundles of clothes fairly cheaply if you dont mind second hand. I also use ebay.

    Try the local paper people often advertise bundles in there or Ebay might be worth a look.

    Good luck.

    i am going to second NCT sales. there are usually sales each month in most areas, although you may have to travel depending upon which area you are in. Nearly New Sales | NCT

    my children had alot of their clothes from these when they were little. ( Dd then made me take her to one when she wanted to buy REAL baby clothes for her doll ( better quality and so much cheaper )
    nct sales are also good for selling things on!


    i have also bought ( and sold ) travel cots, buggies, bedding, toys, books ... you name it, its usually there!

    other than that i like asda/tesco/sainsbury. i have also seen bundles of clothes for sale ( and wanted ) on *****.

    good luck xxx

    Supermarkets are great. Primark does some cute baby clothes too. Gap sales are great - a bit expensive at full price but if you sign up to receive their newsletters they will email you everytime they have a sale. I've got some great bargains from there. If you can afford to, buy clothes which are to big for him now but are on sale so that you are building up his future wardrobe. I do the same with January sales too - I usually buy next years winter coats in the January sales. x

    Good idea on the winter coat. He doesn't have one at the mo as weather is either good or he's in blankets in buggy
