OK I am a girls mom, but I’ll try to give some “unisex” advice!– I am a shopping fanatic, but I ONLY buy on sale or clearance!
I love the clothes at gymboree. (
http://www.gymboree.com) Yes they are pricey, but good quality and there’s usually a sale. Gymboree also has a lower end store called crazy 8 (
http://www.crazy8.com) –very cute stuff. I’m not a fan of The Children’s Place for girls (I think some of their clothes look trashy) but I think their boys clothes are actually way cuter. My FAVORITE is believe it or not, Once Upon a Child. This is a second hand clothing store chain, but they of course will not sell anything with stains or holes. I have gotten some gorgeous designer clothes for below $10. I got brand new robeez last year for $2! I recommend this for a boy b/c I just got some super cute boys Gap hoodies for my daughter. One is navy and one is gray(new with tags!!), so they are unisex, but I’ve seen great cargos, sweaters and handsome holiday clothes.
Marshalls has some really nice boys and girls Stride Rite shoes right now. HTH.
