Reason #19 That I'm Happy to be Having a Boy

This website I just discovered.

I did a tag search for baby, gifts, clothes.  If I were having a girl, I would have just spent all of my money on new clothes for her.  I am having another boy.  So I can just close my eyes and imagine my son's closet, brimming with hand-me-downs, awaiting the second child's arrival.

But seriously... if you have a baby shower to go to, or even a first birthday, and you're contemplating dropping $25 bucks on a cute little outfit or two, run screaming in the opposite direction from Babiez R Us and straight to Etsy.  I guess the idea is that the items are handcrafted and custom-made, so you may need to wait longer than usual.  But seriously.  So. Darned. Cute.  I'm never shopping in a trendy Brooklyn baby boutique again.

Etsy's been on our 'sites we like' roll forever! You might want to check some of the others out if you like that one.

they do have great stuff, but unless you know a particular designer, it can take ages to filter thru all of the stuff on that site. i lose patience.

I agree. Until they get older. My son now asks for jeans that are between $75-$125. My daughter is fine in sweats and a t-shirt. Go figure.

I'm so lame. It has been a long time since I've clicked on all the sites we like. I was going to ask kris to add it!
