where could I buy nice clothes for present for 12m niece?

[littlefrog]

I've got a boy, so have never looked at girls clothes; decided that I'd like to get my niece something to wear for Christmas (she's a cast-offs child): so far have looked at Gap, Monsoon, John Lewis and they are all TERRIBLE! Pink and frilly and unbearable. Oh, and Boden: also horrible.

Who sells nice, sensible, pretty but not disgustingly girly baby clothes? Please! I'm amazed this is difficult!

(Oh, budget is no more than £20 for a nice sweater, less for inner clothes if you see what I mean...)

I love this one

Debenhams, Pumpkin Patch, both available online

TK Maxx often have nice stuff for that sort of age.

there are some gorgeous little girls clothes in tesco and sainsbury's if you dont want to spend a fortune, or next do some lovely stuff for little ones.

Good idea with supermarkets, but we live in central london and have no car! so needs to be a 'real' shop, unfortunately... Will look at the others - any other ideas?

DD is 2 and I love Pumpkin Patch for her. Don't know if there's one near you.

They do some lovely appliqued tops and ra-ra skirts in reds and blues etc, which look beautiful with boots, nice and girly without being too pink & sugary! DD loves her "cheep cheep top" (has an owl on it) and her fave skirt & hat are also from there.

Definitely check them out.
