You really can save big bucks - my advise and know-how will help!
If you are looking for an inexpensive newborn present you might like to search for cheap baby clothes. I'll show you how to best do this. But my recommendations are not only for those of you who are looking for a cheap baby gift. They are also for savvy moms who are on the lookout for affordable baby clothes but do not want to miss on quality.
If you are up to it you can spent a fortune on quality baby clothes. But you don't have to! If you know a few 'tricks' you can make really great savings and get outstanding bargains!
Tip 1: Buying Anti-Seasonal
Buy winter clothes in spring and summer clothes in autumn during the end of season clearance sales. However, always consider how much baby / your kid will have grown by then. With the American size system (newborn, 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, etc.) this is not too difficult. In other countries where you might have just sizes without any indication of age this might be a bit more of a thing to figure out. So get familiar with your country's size chart first and you're good.
If you want to give baby clothing as a present it is actually even better to buy something bigger. Many people give newborn sizes of which the family then tends to have too much. Believe me, I know that first-hand! During the first few weeks babies grow so quickly that they outgrow their outfits in no time. Hence, it is well-considered to give something for age 6-12 months or even older. By then, babies do not grow that fast anymore, they can wear your gift for a longer period. And if you buy anti-seasonal you get that adorable outfit often for more than half of the original price!

Buy costumes like this super-cute chicken costume anti-seasonal respectively shortly after this year's Halloween at a reduced price for next year's Halloween. For costumes, the size is not that important. If in doubt, always opt for the bigger one since legs and sleeves always can be rolled up. |
Tip 2: eBay
Babies outgrow newborn outfits extremely fast. In no time brand new clothing does not fit anymore. So what does the modern family do? They sell it on eBay! And that's your chance to snatch new baby clothes often at a fraction of the original retail price (as well as everything else for baby by the way)!
Once you are logged into eBay select 'baby' as category and enter the item wanted in the search bar (body, onsie, romper, outfit) etc. and NEW or NWT which stands for 'new with tag'. Do not forget to review the sellers' customer feedback - which should be impeccable - before bidding and buying.
Use the 'Buy It Now' option if you need the item soon, otherwise go for the auctions since these usually grant better bargains.
Happy bidding and good luck! Enjoy your cheap baby clothing deal!
poor baby's got nothing to wear ;-)

Favored US shopping clubs are for example Gilt, Rue La La, HauteLook, bTrendie, Zulily and Totsy.
