Carter's clothes - Costco or Carter's store?

[mbcdefg]

I have to buy a birthday gift for my friends' baby. I have both a Costco and a Carter's store near me, and I just got a 15% off Carter's coupon in my email, so I may head out on my lunch break today to buy an outfit. 

I've never compared prices ... is Costco any cheaper? Is it the actual Carter's brand or is it a made-for-Costco cheaper version? 

Any particular recommendations for a size 18-month girl gift? Mom said that clothes would be preferable over toys or books (second kid, but the only DD). 

Thanks!

from what I've seen, the Carters clothes in Sams are the same as the clothes in the Carters store. Additionally, they are usually cheaper initially (ie you can get the same thing in the store cheaper eventually - once it's been on the shelf a while). I would assume that's the same with Costco.

I prefer Carters from Carters...they have more of a selection. I think that usually the Carter's stuff at Costco is 2 or 3 piece sets, and I usually don't get those for my girls.

I'm not sure if she's turning 1 or 2...but if she's not walking yet, I'd get leggings and tunic tops. If she's walking, they have some cute spring dresses right now. I still pair most with leggings or bike shorts.

I think the best deal on carters is a kohls sale with a 30% coupon (the code right now is showers30), but carters.com and the carters stores have good sales and coupons too. I also see lots of carters stuff at tjmaxx

Kohls is probably cheaper than either, if you have a Kohls card.

I would do Carter's store. If she needs to return because of size or style she's going to have a larger selection in the store than at Costco.

Our Costco only carries the 3 piece sets with pants/short sleeved onsie/long sleeved onsie. We're at 15 months here and long past the onsies.

At actual Carter's, they will have so much more cute stuff for her. And get a gift receipt! People give duplicates!

You also might want to dig around and see if you can find a % off coupon for higher than 15%.

Sounds good - I'll head to the Carter's store, then.

I don't have a Kohl's nearby, or a Kohl's CC.

Thanks!

Another vote for actual Carters. Costco isn't really much cheaper & only has sets. Personally I prefer separates & if they want to exchange they'll have more options at Carters.

Someone got me a few Carter's items at Sam's Club and the regular Carter's store wouldn't let me return them, so I vote Carter's. I don't have a Sam's card so I can't return them there either and they will never fit since they're out of season.

Thanks again! I went to Carter's a little while ago and spent $22 (sales plus a 15% off coupon) on two outfits:

Also I bought a fleece sleeper at Costco and it hasn't held up very well. My friend has the same sleeper, from the Carters store, and it looks 1000x better.
