Time to wrap it up!
If you still need any children’s apparel for Christmas gifts or special occasions, at this
point we recommend shopping in stores. On-line shipping is now either to risky or too expensive.
But, if you’re shopping ahead, now is a good time to shop get get “extra %’s ” and/or Free Shipping. Some stores are offering Free Shipping upgrades from Standard to Express, such has Gymboree. Free Shipping is still available at Lands End, crewcuts, and Strasburg Children.
