Even the Olsen twins have a subscription shopping site for t-shirts. Check out this roundup list and do share anything... More »

BABY & KIDS: Wittlebee

Wittlebee is a kids clothing club. We aim to keep parents well stocked with the basics like onesies, t-shirts, socks, leggings and more. We create custom packages for our members based on their child's age, color preferences and geographic location.

For $39 a month, Wittlebee ships you a box of mini staples (tees, leggings, socks, etc) for your child. Age ranges go from 0-6 months to 2-5 years old. I have not used Wittlebee & not sure it would work for my family - we get a lot of hand-me-downs & family members love giving my kids clothing for bdays, Christmas, etc. Curious if others have or would use this.

AngelaG: I tried this as well, they had a deal where you could get 2 months at half off. It's okay you can customize it further. Some folks I know love it. if I had to give a rating it would be about 3 1/2 stars. The clothes are hit or miss with me, I like some and don't really care for the others.

KaityP: If you want something that is customizable, FabKids is similar to Wittlebee but much more stylish and you get to pick the clothes yourself! You get a full outfit based on a style quiz that you can take with your kid. It's usually 49.95 but definitely worth it as the quality and styles are really great. The also have a deal going on right now where the first outfit is $25.00 if you use the code FIRST25. www.fabkids.com

Eden Godsoe: Thanks for all the info ladies. Curious about both of these - do either go beyond babies & toddlers to 5+ year olds boys & girls? Thx

I am a nail polish addict and REALLY want to try this program out!!! Has anyone else joined? I'd love to hear about it!!!

Juliette: Thanks for sharing. I am going to sign up now! :)

Lacey Scheunemann: This program is wonderful! You get to take the fun quiz to get your profile, then each month you get an email w/ your preview. If you aren't into your profile that month you can choose another! So you really can't be disappointed! :) Then I have to acknowledge that Julep's polish is by far some of the best ever! I am hard on my hands and after wearing Lenore (their Christmas silver) for a week I only had a few chips on the end of one nail... not even really noticeable! And if you ever have any problems j

Lacey Scheunemann: Whoops - the polish name is Leighton, not Lenore... I was thinking of my Scenty warmer named Lenore! So Leighton is their Christmas silver! :)

Lacey Scheunemann: And now I see it looks like my comment was cut off: but if you have any problems just call their customer service team! Those ladies are wonderful! :) Ok I'm done now!! Go join! haha!

Missy Lowman: I love Julep! The company is great, the customer service is wonderful. If there are any problems, they fix things quickly and make it right. They listen to user feed back and have made the packaging better. Their nail polishes are hands down the best I have ever used. The colors are true, they take 2 coats at most, and last a long time. It's definitely worth it.

Jackie: Sounds very cool! You may have just sold me into trying this out Lacey :)

Krista: I'm definitely impressed by all of this talk about the quality - one of my biggest issues with polishes is that they chip away so easily. I like the idea of email previews (Lacey) - disappointment is never fun.

Scarlet: Again, it sounds like a must have!

AngelaG: Very cool service. I have this one too. They also send out extra gifts periodically. There is a code out there where you can try your first month for a penny by using the promo code "penny" and of course pick someone if you sign up that you can give credit to.
