Children’s Wear Sales: Monday, 12/22/08

Can you get it before Christmas?

In most cases, the answer is still yes. We only found a handful of retailers who are no longer offering pre-Christmas shipping gaurantees or don’t offer express shipping at all:

Hanna Andersson, Naartjie, Strasburg Children and Pumpkin Patch are not offering express shipping for the Holiday, but you can still shop in stores if you’re lucky enough to live near by (none of these retailers have stores nationwide).

Boden does not offer express shipping either — and, with no stores this side of the pond, we’re out of luck for Christmas at this point.
