Not seen above, but repeat buys in my time…
+GAP BABY ONESIES — These are made of a great, thick (warm) cotton, and I love the bow and trim detailing. The lap shoulders make them easy to get on/off. Just adorable, and currently on sale for like $16 for the three.
+FRENCH TOAST KICK SHORTS — Mini wears these all summer long under her dresses. At some point, bloomers seem too babyish and these are a great, sporty sub. They are a nice stretchy cotton material. I buy them in the white in bulk.
+COZYWAY NON-SLIP SOCKS — A great, athletic style for a little boy. The grippies on the underside are a must.
+LIL CACTUS GINGHAM BUBBLES — A reasonable price for a classic look. Hill had a few of these!
+OLD NAVY STRIPED TEES — I’ve purchased so many classic navy/white or yellow/white or red/white stripe tees from here over the years. Perfect for pairing with denim for a classic look.
+OLD NAVY LEGGINGS — I buy these in white, navy, pink constantly. Such a great buy!
+HANNA ANDERSSON TRAINING UNDERWEAR — Pricey for underwear but they are SO thick and great for little ones learning to toilet train for that reason. Sharing here because they are currently on sale!
+MOON + BACK PAJAMAS — Hanna Andersson’s diffusion line for Amazon. Not quite as good quality as H.A. itself but sweet/classic prints in a nice, heavy cotton.
+BURTS BEES PAJAMAS — Another classic with great seasonal prints and timeless stripes.
+CAT + JACK LOAFERS — A fantastic buy for the price. The top lifts off and velcros down — SO genius!
+H&M SWIM — Have had amazing luck with their swim over the years. Micro has owned a few pairs of this style of trunk and they are a great material that is versatile enough to pass as shorts (sort of like Patagonia Baggies for men?) during the day. I just bought this swimsuit for mini and it is adorable! Great color and those bows on the shoulder are reminiscent of Minnow.
+COCOCUTE CAMP SOCKS — A nice thick weight and I love the style. My children wear these most cold mornings.
+KIDERENCE MARY JANES — A classic look for around $25. I bought these for mini this year as I knew we didn’t have many formal occasions in light of COVID and didn’t want to invest in an $80 pair that would be worn a handful of times.
+ADEWU SUNGLASSES — Just for fun! Mini loves her pair! Stylin for the beach.
+THE TURNIP SEED INITIAL HATS — $13 and makes a cute gift, too!
P.S. Layette/newborn picks.
