Get Flashy! Deep Discounts on Luxe Labels for Kids

If you haven’t jumped on the flash sale bandwagon yet, it’s time to get aboard—these online, members-only sales are your best bet for scoring designer clothing, toys and baby equipment at a steal.

Brands include mommy faves like Juicy Couture Girls, Melissa and Doug, Tea Collection, Random House, and Phil and Teds. But if you spot something you like, better buy it in a “flash!” The sales are only offered for short periods at limited quantities.

Here’s a compilation of kid-centric flash sale sites you can join for free. Never miss a sale by signing up for e-mail alerts on each site; sale info will then be sent straight to your inbox daily.

In addition to their deeply discounted prices, most of these sites also offer incentives, usually in the form of friend referrals, to help you save even more. Earn money toward your account for each friend you invite who then makes a purchase.

• The Mini Social - Earn $10 credits for friend referrals.
