Trick or Treat - I'm guessing you'd prefer Treat


I think I've eaten too much candy corn. I'm having a hard time sitting still and I'm feeling extra joyous. You should make sure I have candy corn more often, because it makes me feel like having another one of my extremely spontaneous, keep-it-on-the-down-low montkid.com sales! After my last blog (a week ago or so??) I truly thought we were done with sales for a while. We're selling out and can't get more in stock! Then came the Candy Corn.

Why not use your savings to get something Orange? One of this seasons hottest colors - the ever optimistic and bright, Orange! The perfect antidote to winter blues and economic woes. Available from number of manufacturers including Reima, Spyder, Obermeyer (Obermeyer calls it Honeysuckle) and Bogner.

Now, on to your Halloween spooky savings. Try out coupon code: Treat for a 20% discount. It's only good until October 31st at the stroke of midnight. Well, that seems a little harsh. How about November 2nd?

Now Orange you glad you read this blog? Happy Shopping!

Sold Out Children's Outerwear - Except at Montkid.com

People are snatching up children's outerwear like crazy this year. Preparing for the "numbing cold"?? More and more customers are calling and asking, "Do you have this in stock? This item is sold out everywhere! "

The answer is, unless we have made a human error (like miscounting our inventory which has happened from time to time), Yes! We stock all of our inventory.

This year, just like last year, we have been raving about the Patagonia Baby Down Sweater and as a result, we are selling them quickly. The most popular color choice has been Tender Greens, which we are just about out of. I think I can stuff the remainder of them in my pockets! Sadly, Patagonia is sold out of this item, so if you are debating a Baby Down Sweater, get it now! Tomorrow, it may not be available.

We are also selling out of our high end, luxury brand, Deux Par Deux and we are unable to order more! The Hot Couture Jacket in gorgeous violet purple, and the Baby Bear snowsuits are almost gone. It's easy to see why with their fun mix of color and style combined with outstanding quality materials and construction.

Happy shopping, and don't delay! Oh, and a side note, because we are selling out so quickly, we will not be having another sale for quite a while. Sorry to the faithful. We'll have to think of another way to reward you. Free shipping perhaps? I'll work on it!

They were right, it's snowing


Not only is it snowing in Bozeman, the snow is sticking. There was a pole at the coffee shop this morning, love it or hate it? Since I'm a Libra, I had mixed emotions. It's hard to take a nose dive from 75 and sunny, to 32 and snowy, but it is also exciting.

Since we are in our snow clothes for so long up here in the mountains, we make an extra effort to make sure they are fabulous. At Montkid.com we stock not only high quality children's outerwear, but also the best selection of fashionable children's outerwear anywhere (we spend a lot of time looking).

October is the best time of year to shop for children's outerwear. All of our inventory is in stock and there are still some hot items left over from last year that are now on sale. For instance, I can't believe we still have a great selection of the Bogner Sale-D girls winter coats in red or crisp white or the gorgeous Bogner Lotti sweater in stock.

Snow in September


It's supposed to snow on Wednesday September 30th here in Bozeman.

We're hoping it will just be a dusting! But, Farmers' Almanac is forecasting a “numbing” winter, with below-average temperatures for at least two-thirds of the country! Yikes.

As the first cold weather and snow starts to hit more areas in the states, we are predicting increased sales of kids outerwear and accessories. Which means, if you want the best selection, you'd really better be getting ready. We can rarely get our hands on more Deux par Deux, Patagonia, Bogner & Obermeyer if we sell out mid-season.

For boys (including baby boys), this season, we love this Navy Telegraph coat from Deux Par Deux with the preppy striped accessories. Warm and super stylish! This outfit is so new, the hat and scarf aren't even on the web site yet (they are, however, sitting next to me in a giant box of "to do" items so if you really want them, just call us!)

And, by the way, you might be happy to know that our coupon has been extended to Monday, October 5th due to a glitch known as "owner error." Sorry about that!

Sneak Peek and Pre-Season Savings

If you're starting to think about getting your child outfitted for winter, you'd better get a move on. As quickly as we can get items loaded onto the web site, they are selling. Some of the best sizes, colors and styles are already sold out! I hate it when that happens.

I wanted to make sure that those who have stuck with us during our months and months of non-activity on the blog, are rewarded for their loyalty. How does a hush, hush private coupon sound? Good for anything not on sale, which means all of the brand new items from Patagonia, Columbia, Deux Par Deux, Spyder, Obermeyer, Smartwool, etc. etc!

Also, please ignore the very cute, very fashionable summer models still residing on our home page, montkid.com (well, actually, maybe you shouldn't ignore them completely, because there are killer deals on kids clothing right now).

Happy Shopping! Enjoy the use of coupon code: fall09 for 25% off all regularly priced items! This coupon expires Monday Sept. 28th and we don't have any other sales planned at this point.

Splish Splash, It's May and Still Raining


April Showers bring more showers? When it rains it pours? Luckily, to help pass this sometimes dreary part of the year, we have some bright new raincoats arriving that will repel those raindrops. We thought we could skip through the season and get on to the business of summer sellin, but it must soggy in several regions of the US because we are selling out! For baby girls, we love this new Roxy Toy Soldier Rain Coat. Bright pink and polka dotty, we can just see it with yellow rain boots!


The Catimini collection of rain and wind jackets for boys is absolutely lovely. Made from high quality materials and cute spring prints, these have been a hit with our East Coast customers. Check them out at montkid.com.
