This giveaway is closed. Congratulations goes to Beth!

Carter’s and OshKosh B’Gosh (their sister company) have been an item in hour house since around the day I found out I was pregnant. In fact, I believe one of the first gifts I received was Carter’s Pajamas for my little princess.  When shopping for my kids there are many places I pick up Carter’s clothes – online (of course), in Bealls Department Stores, Kohl’s locations and of course the outlets!  The well made, adorable prints, and seasonal outfits are perfect for my little gals and I pick up the brand each time I can.

This Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Holiday Season, Carter’s has some AWESOME deals online!

  • Shop Online  – Save 50% site wide and in stores, and receive FREE shipping on all Carter’s and OshKosh B’Gosh orders of $50 or more, no coupon required.
    Note: This excludes clearance, bath and body care, Melissa and Doug toys and Carter’s at Home as well as Doorbusters.
  • Sign up For Emails – Get Deals in your inbox. Get special promotions delivered right to your inbox every day during the Holiday season. This EMAIL LIST IS SEPARATE from the Carter’s promotional email list. Sign up for this SPECIAL list to receive these seasonal notifications starting 12/1/11.
One of the HOT seasonal items are Carter’s Fleece PJs, Activewear, Cozy Outfits nad more. In fact, November is FLEECE MONTH! Keep your little ones warm, cozy, and adorable. Wrap your children in sweet dreams with their 1-piece Pajamas (perfect for a chilly night) or enjoy the winter days with zip-front fleece hoodies, perfect for laying with a variety of bottoms.
.
When shopping for my girls this season, I fell in love with many of the patterns and bright colors. There were cute holiday outfits and patterns, a great princess section, and many ultimate girly ideas. I loved the hip french top and bottom set. The pants would be great to pair with many of the other tops they have already. Red is perfect for Christmas AND for Valentine’s Day! My girls always ask for leggins over pants or jeans. They just are more comfortable and thus preferred.
