Adventures are officially on! Just in time for spring, you'll find up to 60% off in the Boden children's sale - including snug jumpers, fun PJs and shoes they'll actually look forward to putting on their feet. Your little adventurers need quality clothing with enough life in them to be passed on to brothers and sisters or donated afterwards: good for you and good for the planet! We've picked out some key things to look out for and the best of the Mini Boden sale in 2024.
What to look for in children’s clothing:
- Fabric: Is it comfortable, washable and durable? It’s a good idea to go with 100% cotton fabric, which is more breathable for your little ones. Natural fibres typically last longer and can be donated after your child outgrows them.
- Size: Does it fit correctly? Check the customer reviews carefully as some garments run slightly small or large. Can you size up? This will mean your child gets more use out of the clothing.
- Cost: Can you wait for a sale, or are there any discount codes available? Check if there are any free delivery offers.
- Style: Do they like it? This is arguably the most important part, as you’ll never wrestle them into a dress they hate. Make sure they love their clothing as much as you do!
