I can't imagine shops like these were common in the early 80's, and, in any case, I stained pretty much anything within a two-metre radius, so I can't imagine my mum dragged me around boutiques of this ilk when I was a kid. But they're here now, much to the delight of parents everywhere. Fred and Grace's offers exquisite designer clothing for children under the age of 10, as well as accessories for a range of seasons. Nestled in the Morgan Arcade, it's not as easy to get to as your larger emporium type stores, but if you're in the market for high-quality kids' clothes, definitely stop by here. It beats fighting the crowds at Mothercare on a Saturday!

Having said that - if you fancy buying something lovely for someone's little boy or girl then pop in here you will find bundles cute little designer outfits that you can be certain will not be seen on anyone else (unless they've been here too). I also have to say that the service I received here was second to none.

I go to the shop in Westbury Village, and love all the gorgeous clothes and toys there. The price range is varied- you can pick a lovely gift up for 50p or £50 so there's something to suit everyone. They also have very knowledgable staff in both shops and they are always on hand for ideas if I need them. There are always lots of toys out for little ones to play with and they are breast-feeding friendly too! They sell lots of well known children's clothes brands such as Frugi, Kite, Pigeon, Hately, Joules and Blade & Rose, I have bought lots of gorgeous dresses for my daughter and everyone asks where they're from and comments on how lovely they are. They also have an online shop so if you're not in Bristol you can still shop here! I love Pickles and Poppets.

Minimi Children & Babywear is a kids clothing store for designer babies, toddlers and young…read morechildren... we are talking single figures here... because, lets face it, once they reach double figures they will refuse point blank to be dressed by anyone else but themselves. Besides which, the parents of the kids that this store has been created for, generate enough income each year to keep a small African village fed, clothed and housed for a century. So, chances are that the mini mi's that we are talking about are earning more than the minimum wage in pocket money just for being cute, which I am sure that they can manage for a least five or so hours a week, netting them circa £25 big ones to do with what they will... So, I reckon, the mini mi rat pack probably take themselves off to T K Max of a weekend once they reach the age that they become insufferable to all but their parents, and think that they know everything! I estimate that this takes place around the age of ten, give or take one or two years for extreme cases of precociousness or arrested development. But, don't listen to me... what do I know? Minimi Children & Babywear actually cater for kids up to 14 years of age, and provide clothing, accessories (all labelled gear) and shoes... I wince at the thought!

This pricey children's clothing shop seems to be primarily aimed at yummy mummies who love dressing…read moretheir kids up to the nines. The shop stocks some lovely designer clothing for children up to the age of 14, plus shoes and other accessories - all of them with suitably expensive labels! Obviously this type of shop appeals to a certain type of parent, and it won't be everyone's cup of tea - but for those into designer brands it's worth a look. That said, you might find the organisation of the shop a tad confusing - there doesn't seem to be any clear logic to the way the clothes are laid out - with no obvious distinction between age groups or girls' and boys' items - perhaps they're organised according to brand label? The shop itself isn't smart enough to justify the prices, either - surely boutique buyers want to browse in beautiful environs?

I had to buy a present for my cousin and know literally nothing about kids, so armed with only a vague estimation of age and approximate 'hand height' and stats I braved it. Luckily the woman behind the till was more that happy to offer advice, inspiration and expertise and helped me pick out something that was a) Very cute ("do these come in grown up sizes?") b) Fitted properly. The result was coming away with a really awesome little cardigan/dungarees and looking like I really knew what I was doing when I presented it to my uncle. Wins all round then.

Inside, there are clothes from ages 0-6, but you'll wish they went into adult sizes. There is a great selection from what I would assume are pretty well known children's brands, such as Dandelion and The Next Big Thing, as well as many others. The clothes are, as might be expected, bright and colourful. Here you can get something that's a little bit different while still being of a good high quality. You can appease a child's need to the bright and poofy, while still feeling like you're not a cruel parent. There is also a good selection of fun toys and gifts. I recommend this shop to any parent. But also to people who need to buys a present for a child without knowing where to begin.
