Moms might want to stash some in their own handbags, too.

Duke Alexander Clothing
Sure, buying clothes for your kiddo at places like Target and Carter's is super convenient. But sometimes it's cool to mix things up a bit, especially when it comes to adorable designs. Duke Alexander is a great Los Angeles-based clothing line created by two moms that offers 100 percent cotton and lead-free threads, most of which feature unisex designs like the bunny short-sleeved tee (shown).
