These elusive shops are not within the price range of most of us. According to one young father who recently got christening presents of a couple of designer children's wear items, there are pros and cons to such delights. The Christian Dior babygrow was very good quality and lasted months longer than those bought on the high street. However, there were one or two outfits that obviously cost an arm and leg but were completely unpractical. Although such clothes are the ultimate luxury, if carefully picked they can make a very attractive gift.
Parents can find a number of festive outfits and winter woollies for their children.
The children's section in these shops offers girls and boys clothing from three months to 12 years. A little more expensive but worth the extra money are shops such as Bennetton, Next, Adams and MotherCare. These shops are one step up from the large department store and offer a wide range of excellent, fashionable clothing. Bennetton, in particular, boasts a very attractive assortment of heavy knit children's jumpers in a number of bright colours. Smaller children's boutiques can be found throughout Ireland.
