First things first: this is a sponsored post. I didn’t get paid for what I’m about to share with you, but I did receive a gift certificate to purchase some clothes for my kids. Now, hopefully you know me well enough to believe that I wouldn’t recommend a business to you if I didn’t sincerely like them, but just so everything’s understood: I got some free shit. Well, the boys did. As if they appreciate it, the jelly-smearing ingrates.
So, have you heard of Tea? They seem like a very cool little company with a unique approach to children’s wear. Apparently each year their designers visit a different part of the world to find inspiration for a particular collection, so they end up creating kids’ clothes that evoke things like street graffiti in Barcelona and vintage Mexican coffee bags. In fact, everyone at Tea receives an annual allowance to use toward international travel, which is a little factoid that makes me like them even more and may or may not have caused me to eyeball their Careers page. (Damn you, lack of marketable skills!)
Tea sounds like a groovy workplace and all that, but what I really like is their clothes. I suspect parents of girls have a much easier time finding attractive outfits for their kids than I do, because I sure notice a lot of cute girl stuff when I’m poking around Target or Old Navy or wherever, but I swear that once your boy is out of the young toddler stage clothes really start to suck. Hard. I mean, okay, Riley loves all those awful merchandising tie-in shirts festooned with LEGO Star Wars Spiderman Looney Tunes Etc, and both my kids are perfectly fine with the ugly-colored sports-themed crap, but sometimes I just want to dress them in something that doesn’t make them look like that scene from Pulp Fiction. You know the one.
“Dorks. They look like a couple of dorks.”
Which is why I kind of fell in love with the Tea Collection boys clothes. Their girls’ outfits are quite nice as well, but can I get an amen for boyswear that not only isn’t hideous, it’s downright awesome? Plus, the prices are very decent—most of the shirts I picked out were around $13.00 or so.
Here’s Riley modeling a few of his new shirts:
I think his favorite is the orange diving tee, but mine is definitely the blue hoodie.
Dylan was less interested in being photographed, but here he’s sporting his new HORSE! shirt.
Hello, could this be more perfect for him? (I also got him this layered tee, because BULLSHIRT!)
Cute designs, seem like good quality, shipped in a timely manner, arrived in a nice package, placing a phone order was super easy and unusually pleasant, customer service was top notch. I am totally a new fan of Tea, and if you have kids to clothe I think you might like them too.
Tea would like to offer one of you lucky ducks a $75 gift certificate, so if you’d like a chance at the giveaway, go ahead and leave a comment (any comment is fine, just be sure and include your email address so I can get in touch if the random number thingamajigger picks you). I’ll post the winner . . . oh, let’s say by Monday morning, okay? The only bummer is that Tea doesn’t yet ship internationally (which is a bit ironic, don’t you think, Alanis?), so unfortunately this is limited to the U.S. for now.
Thanks for enduring all my clothing-related blather! I hope you have a great weekend coming up.
**Comments are now closed, and I’ll announce the winner in a separate post. Thanks for participating!**

Stuff I Like:
Regina Spektor's "All the Rowboats".
She's almost unrecognizable in this video, but wow, what a song.
Smashbox brow tech.
Utterly foolproof eyebrow groomer/filler-inner.
Prada Amber.
My favorite perfume: sweet and exotic without being overpowering.
Blinc mascara.
I have tried all the mascaras and this is the very best one. Trust.
Hell to the ya on the hard to find cute boys clothes. My twins got a few things for Christmas from Tea, and they were so cute, I pretended that the kids hadn’t outgrown them! Sometimes they have really good clearance sales at the end of a season.
Love love your blog and Tea brand!
I love Tea! I’m so with you on the boy clothes…girls’ stuff is so much cuter! Of course I’m having a boy in September. OF COURSE. But the gift cert would help!
Whoa, cute boys’ clothes that aren’t majorly overpriced? Count me in!!
Say, those aren’t bad prices at all! And pretty cute boy stuff! I am so sick of seeing stupid “Major Trouble” and “He did it!” shirts. Man, parents of girls have it so much easier.
Love, love, love Tea stuff and yeah, my boys need some cute clothes!
I can vouch that Tea has equally cute stuff for the girls. I totally salivate over their catalogs!
Very cute clothes! Thanks for the post.
Oooh, glad to learn about them. Thanks! Hope I win. :)
I get tons of hand-me-downs for my preschooler girl (not complaining) so I’m actually looking forward to shopping for my newborn boy. Kinda glad he’s a boy so I won’t spend gobs of money on too many cute clothes. But it would be nice to get stuff that’s not just Hey Slugger and Trucks! The Tea stuff for boys looks awesome.
I received a cute dress for my daughter for her first birthday from Tea, but I had no idea until reading this what a cool company they are. I’d love to be able to get all three kiddos some new duds…fingers crossed :)
I love Tea. Your boys are so cute!
That’s my comment above. Hit submit too soon. I need to go to sleep.
Super cute! I think I have received the Tea catalog in the mail, but I’ve never actually looked at it…now I’m going to have to!
My boy has just grown out of 5T clothes at Old Navy and too boy, there’s a vast expanse of NOTHING over on the other side of the store, you know? I do not want garish, skull-filled, sport-themed, superhero festooned clothes. A graphic, yes, but something cooler, you know? Tea looks perfect – next time Kieran needs clothes I will certainly look here.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I love this company already! I hadn’t heard of them until now, so thank you. This would be perfect for back-to-school shopping. (BTW, I totally know what you mean about shopping for boy clothes.)
Yes ma’am, I would definitely like to outfit a couple of boys of my own in Tea. Probably some tees from Tea hahaha. Alrighty then.
I love, love, love Tea! So glad to hear my fav blogger does to! Yeah for finding rad boy clothes, I have a 3 year old daughter, but whoo hoo so happy for you!!
Your boys are awesome little dudes. I didn’t know Tea had such charming boy clothes, that’s really cool!
My BFF has identical twin three year old boys. I’d love to be able to buy some super-cute new clothes for them. They’ll be the cutest kids in their class!
I love Tea! Hook me up! And i’ll be passing your post along to my Sis-in-law who was just bitching to me about the lack of cool boy clothes for her lil man fetus.
Love Tea!
Oh heck yes.
Tea rocks! And so do you!
So do they ship to Alaska???
How I love Tea…. the quality, the soft fabrics, the cool designs… good discovery!
Tea has some great clothes. Love it!
Well, I love drinking tea while reading this awesome blog. So, chances are I’ll also like the Tea brand. –Especially if it can help me find boy clothes that are original and interesting. If I have to shove my poor little pea into one more shirt with a dumb doggy aplique, I might stick a fork in my eye. Thanks for the tip.
I absolutely agree that it’s hard to find nice clothes for boys. I love the quality and care of design that Tea puts into their clothes. I would love the chance to win a prize from them :-)
Oh yes! Love this company!
Five and a half years ago I couldn’t find a ‘take home from hospital’ outfit for my soon to be born baby boy that I actually liked. Then I found the most amazing set from Tea. The lotus print is so sweet and simple.
I have since purchased many Tea items and while some of the shirts run a tad small, I have no other complaints. Great quality and fun styles for my two boys (I hear ya on the DORKS, Linda!)
they are a super cute company! I tried to order something for my nieces and nephew this summer but my one time discount code did not work, bummerz. Would love to order something, so put me in for the contest :)
Ooh yay awesome!! I have a little boy and am super excited to hear about this. Thanks!
My wife loves Tea, because of the cool clothes they offer. I love Tea because it lets my wife buy my kids cool clothes that I don’t get in (major) trouble when I mis-match tops with bottoms.
I’ll take one of each please! And you are so right about little boy stuff!
I have a three year old boy and I am tired of the uber merchandising of Lightning McQueen look. Tea has super cute clothes! Also, love your writing, thanks for making me laugh!
Oh! Cute boy clothes! That don’t have rude sayings plastered on them or grim death symbols or huge graphics of shows that my boys don’t watch.
I’ll have to check this place out!
Love the horse shirt!
I love Tea – even though there may be more cute options for girls out there, so few fit the style that I like for my girls. Tea clothes always do the trick.
I’d really love to get my hands on cute boy clothes for my son and absolutely love those tees your boys are modeling!
I had never heard of Tea until this post… but now I’m officially a fan. (I, too, may have perused the Careers page.)
Awesome, I always enjoy hearing about good companies, and considering you never do stuff like this its not even a pain to read about it, lol
Their Daily Tea clothes are cute too and a little less than the tea line….their clothes all hold up so well, too…so they can smear jelly all they want….well not really you know what I mean!
I love Tea and their clothes are made well. I have even been lucky enough to have found them at a consignment store and they have lasted, only to be handed down to someone else because they were outgrown. I also like them because they don’t look like everyone else.
Ah, Bullshirt! When I was in high school back in the 60s/70s, a boy wore a shirt that said “Bullshirt” on it and our English teacher had a FIT and threw the student out of class. I hadn’t thought of that in decades, yet I still remember both the student’s name and the teacher’s name. The kid was usually no trouble, and the teacher was ordinarily mild-mannered. For some reason, this shirt really ticked him off, though. I’d love a gift-certificate for my next-door neighbor’s boys…no grandkids yet.
Amen, sister! I love Tea!
These look great! Thanks for all the fantastic posts. I really enjoy your writing.
Oooo, I’d love to get some of those shirts for my nephew!
Those clothes are super cute! Especially since the only thing my son wants to wear are spongebob shirts!
Those clothes are so cute! I don’t have kids to wear them, but I know lots of people who would love them as gifts!
I love tea! Their girls clothes are adorable without being precious.
I have never heard of Tea, but I am always trying to find decent clothes for my son. Thanks!
Cute stuff! And hey, a gift certificate would save me a trip to the Carter’s outlet.
I love Tea Collection! I found them when trying to find something pretty and not all PINK! SPARKLES! for my girl and also fell in love with their boys clothes. Once MAD is a bit bigger I predict much of his wardrobe will be from Tea.
kate AT kakakakaty DOT com
Never heard of this company before, but the clothes are very cute!
Tea looks awesome! Also, anything is better than the Mario Bros. shirts my son wants to wear every day.
Cute clothes…and cute boys!
I am always, always envious of little girl outfits. I try to find cute affordable stuff for Carter but ugh, I think even the toddler stuff leaves a lot to be desired. Awesome recommendation.
And your boys are adorable.
I love Tea! Their designs are awesome. Thank you for doing this sponsored post so we have a chance at some freebies too!
I totally agree about the boys clothes. I think my 3 y/o has maybe 2 shirts that aren’t Toy Story or Spiderman. I love the plaid hoodie that Riley is wearing! I have 2 boys, so that gift card would come in handy!
As a fellow thrift store lover, I am sooo out of date with brand names. And that company sounds like they are *awesome*.
Yes please! Very cute. And amen on the boys’ clothes options.
Yeah yeah yeah, the clothes are cute and count me in to the drawing. I’m mostly interested in the size of Riley’s FEET. Holy moly, that is going to be one tall kid.
Love this brand! So cute.
My girls have had a few Tea pieces, and they wear like iron. I even have ones from consignment that are no doubt on their third of fourth kid. Great stuff.
thewellreadmomATgmailDOTcom
Love the clothes and I love TEA as well. I finally have a girl so I’m looking forward to getting all those cute clothes :)
If Tea would like to hire me, I’m available. It sounds like a fascinating company, and yes, I’ve got a son in that frustratingly hard to clothe age range.
I love it! Cubist Bullfight.. hahaa
I am so sick of all the sports related t-shirts. It’s just not my son at all. And what’s with the skulls & bones? As soon as one reaches 3T, it’s like scary anatomy lesson everywhere.
On the other hand, you rarely see skeletons with bows for little girls…
I have both a girl and a boy and I think it’s harder to dress my daughter. The sizes vary from store to store like they do in women’s sizes, and everything is so matchy-matchy that unless you want to spend a small fortune every time you go out, it’s very hard to pick “basic” things. My son, on the other hand; once i know his top and bottom size for the season, I can go store to store and get loads of separates without wondering if they will fit him. Love the orange tee! So much so that i might have to get it, gift certificate or not.
Super cute clothing on your super cute kids. I think my 1 yr old girl would like some Tea duds too.
That is some great stuff! There are some kids in my life who would certainly benefit from this! Thanks for sharing the giveaway!
Cute clothes!
I am so with you on the lack of interesting, non-character clothing for boys. Love that blue hoodie – Tea sounds great!
Cute stuff! I signed up for email updates. Thanks for the heads up.
Free stuff is comment provoking…
Cute clothes! But the boys are pretty cute too. :)
Ridiculously cute! I do believe they have a new fan in me too!! :) Thanks for sharing!
Oh my kids need help with cute clothes! I’m a dork for a living, so my poor kids have too many science t-shirts. :)
I don’t want this for me (my kids are adults now) but I’d love this for my friend in CA who had an ADORABLE baby boy earlier this month (and who, sadly, I won’t get to hold until October). So it would be a giveaway that could keep on giving! (and thanks for the tip to a great new shopping site!)
you can take any topic and make it cute and witty. yah for you and yah for cute clothes!
i’m with you on the boys’ clothes – so hard to find stuff in the 4-6 range that doesn’t make me cringe! tea seems like a company worth checking out.
Yay! for cute clothes! It would be so nice to be able to get some new stuff for my boys instead of the hand-me-downs and thrifty stuff they end up with…
Wow Riley is looking like such a giant KID these days!
I’ve got 4 boys and I totally agree about the lack of variety. If I happen to pick up a few t-shirts at Kohls, we always see a couple of their friends or classmates wearing the same damn thing.
The boys are just growing so fast. They do look cute in the new stuff.
I have never heard of Tea but those shirts are super cute.
Thanks, Linda, for making me smile most everyday.
Those are great, my sister recently commented that half the shirts available for little boys have prints that are not allowed in school. I couldn’t believe how much blood-like splatter I saw on shirts at the mall. Hope they have sales for the holidays, because I would like to order a bunch.
The horse shirt rocks! I know my son would like one.
the little guys look adorable! :)
As a mom of FOUR boys now, yeah, clothing options are slim by the time they hit school age. Thanks for the link!
Yeah cute boy clothes…sign me up!
I have a new little boy, so I suppose it’s time to figure out where to get goof boys clothes!
I live in Canada, so when I saw the no US thing I was horrified! However, I do have a cousin in the states that always loves to buy clothes for her daughter, so I’ll enter on her behalf :)
I LOVE Tea clothes! :)
I’ve only been shopping for 4 months for a boy and already I find it harder than shopping for my daughter! I love the clothes I see at Tea but they are usually out of my price range. This would be so much fun to get a few special things for my kids.
Oh, another person who understands! While my little guy looks cute in t-shirts and shorts, I would love some variety. In the girls’ sections there are dresses and leggings and bright colors and it’s HUGE, while the boys’ section is t-shirts, maybe a polo and a sweater vest, in two racks. So, a chance to change it up?? YES PLEASE!
Agreed, little boys clothes are garish and uninteresting. Thanks for the Tea tip!
I love Tea – a local shop here carries the brand. And I hear you on all of the boys’ logo t-shirts! My little one isn’t quite there yet, but I know he will be all too soon.
I LOVE Tea, but usually buy their clothes second-hand (which says something about their quality). Would love to get some new duds for the new school year!
I had never heard of Tea until this post, but anytime I can find decent (i.e. no skulls, no skater crap, no characters) clothes for my two boys makes, AMEN! Thanks for sharing.
These are great! Cute boy clothes ARE so much harder to find!
Your boys look great! My girls are, yes, fairly easy to shop for now (they’re 4 and 2) but what I’m not looking forward to is clothes shopping in a few years when all that’s in the stores is little hoochie-mama stuff for girls.
I’ve never heard of Tea but love the idea of finding some clothes for my 3 yr old boy that aren’t branded with superheros.
I know some little guys who’d love the pirate shirts!
Love their girl’s clothing! I recognize their logo, but I can’t say ive ever gotte anything from them! Hope I win! My oldest just outgrew almost everything she owns! Lol
LOVE Tea! And now I’m sold on the blue hoodie!
I love it!!
Wow! Those are all really nice looking! I am soon to have my second boy and it is growing increasingly more difficult to find cute clothes for my toddler. Thanks for the recommendation.
Ohhh, I love that pirate shirt! I’m going to have to go check these guys out!
Looking at the baby girl dresses, I kinda want some of these in my size. Heh. So cute!
LOOOVE the hoodie! (a perfect leash when I’m trying to corral the kids at the grocery store! WHAT?! HMM… UH, what I meant to say was I love a shirt that multi-functions!)
I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve bitched about the boy clothes available at stores. It’s like they purposely buy adorable girl clothes and slovenly looking boy clothes! And if they do happen (God forbid!) to get a cute boy outfit, they only buy two of each size so they run out. GRRRRRR. I’m with you – the blue hoodie totally rocks. Sounds like Tea offers everything a mom could want in a store!
I’d really like to get my son the pirate shirt, but he has some strange irrational fear of anything pirate (the pig pirates from Dora, pirates on Backyardigans, what?), so that may be kind of cruel. Of course, he can’t read, it would just be a boat shirt to him.
Totally agree that it is hard to find nice clothes for boys. Would love to win the gift card so I can send my 9 year old off to school in style next week. Thanks!
Just want to say, I really appreciate that you put “sponsored post” way up at the top. It makes all the difference. Thanks.
Cute clothes! I especially like the hoodie and the tshirts.
I love the Tea clothes! And I would love some more.
This is my first exposure to Tea and it looks great!
I love Tea! I got some baby clothes as a shower gift a couple of years ago and fell in love. I could definitely use some bigger-kid clothes for my 4 and 2 year old.
First things first: WHEN DID RILEY GET SO BIG?! He looks like a teenager with his glove on and I can not get over that he was once that suspicious baby. Seriously blows my mind.
Also, so glad to see that Dylan is still all HORSE! and stuff. I like consistency.
AND AMEN ON UGLY BOYS’ CLOTHES. My stepson is two so he’s still in that cute/fun clothes stage, but I’m already rolling my eyes at all of the damn LIGHT UP SPIDERMAN T SHIRTS his aunt has given us. Hideous.
I hear you on the lack of cute boys’ clothes. They either look like babies or hoodlums. Thanks for the shopping advice!
Great clothes! I have never heard of the company so thanks for posting.
My daughter was looking over my shoulder as I was looking at the clothes, saying, “I want that…and that…oooh and that!”
I love Tea! My daughter has had a couple of their dresses, and I’m looking forward to checking out their boys stuff for my baby boy.
Thanks for your blog! I really enjoy reading it. I also think Tea clothes are great. I like flipping through their catalog when it comes.
Cute boy clothes that don’t cost and arm and a leg? Count me in! I had never heard of Tea, but they have some adorable stuff.
I have a 3 year old son that would LOVE their shirts!
Cute stuff! Pick me!
Ooh! I got a really cool camel Tea tshirt for my boy at a consignment sale a couple of years and I loved it!
I love the Pulp Fiction reference–you are so right!
I had never heard of them before. I love the idea of international travel as a perk of a job! I’m also coveting some of the dresses, so I hope I win!
Cool clothes? Not Disney? I’m so in!
I love your blog and Tea brand, thanks!!
Those Tea clothes are sweet!
Sorry, Southerner that couldn’t resist.
Love Dylan’s HORSE! shirt! Where did all of his chub go? ;.( He’s a little man now. My almost 4 yr old boy would LOVE some of these shirts so maybe if he’s really good he might get some for his b-day! BULLSHIRT! Happy Friday!
I loveTea!
And I love you!
And I love free stuff!
A match made in heaven, no?
Oh lord. I need this.
We got our daughter one of their dresses for her first birthday party. Their clothes are both very cute and completely practical (jersey dresses in cute, multi colored – aka stain hiding – patterns FTW).
Ah, my boy could really use some cute clothes. Baby Gap is WAY too expensive, IMO!
Love Tea. I buy my 3 yr old girl tea clothes but I’ve never really looked at their boy clothes (despite having 2 boys!). I need to start cause those clothes look cute too!
I have two boys and totally agree on how hard it can be to find them decent clothes. I’ll be checking out Tea. Thanks!
Okay, I admit it – I don’t have any kids. But! If I win the gift certificate, I will donate it to the local animal shelter so they can put it in one of their raffle-off gift baskets. Okay? Okay.
I rarely comment, but I could totally use this as I have no clothes for my daughter past the 6 month size. Everyone showers you with newborn clothes then leaves you hanging once your kid gets to be 6 months old!
Love the shirts, the blue hoodie is my fav as well, and I would LOVE LOVE to get some non-cartoony themed clothes for my son!
Those clothes look great!
I have a four and a half year old nephew, so he’s definitely in that stage of being hard to find cute clothes for. Tea looks like an awesome company. Thanks for sharing it!
HORSE. How awesome that they had a horse shirt!
First time commenter, long time reader. Well at least a year, and I do love your blog. You say a lot of the things that I think but don’t voice in regards to child rearing and such. I have a five year old boy and can’t stand sports related wear and all the advertisement crap (Marvel,Lego)that’s out there which leaves me with NO choices. So thanks for the Tea introduction!
I love Tea clothes for my son. And I’m with you on that blue hoodie–adorable!
Since I’m expecting a boy, I’m always on the lookout for non-cheesy boy clothes. Thanks!
Love the blue hoodie as well!
You are so right that attractive boys’ clothing is so much harder to find than girls. I’m all for a company that offers nice clothes at a good price. Thanks for sharing!
I love their clothes!
I have toddler twins. Please thingamajiggie – pick me!
Luckily, I have a granddaughter to shop for!
I want to work there, too! But I would settle for wearing some of their clothes (I could selfishly spend the $75 on me, right?)
Consider me commented! I have two daughters but the eldest hates all the frilly girly clothes and I believe we’ll be shopping in the boy’s section for graphic Ts this fall.
I, too, love Tea for both my 3.5 daughter and 14-month-old son. Agreed that it’s super hard to find boys’ clothes that don’t have doofy sports slogans or “mommy’s lil’ helper/monster/etc.” plastered all over them.
Super cute shirts! Count me in and thanks for hosting!
Cute kids clothes! YAY!
the horse video *dies*. hahahah/
Wow – super cute stuff. I have a girl, and I’m not a huge fan of all the cutesy and frilly and PINK clothes that are all so mainstream. I love the simplicity and neutral colors they offer for little girls!
Why, WHY do boys clothes suck so hard??
Awesome-looking boys’ clothing? What is this strange new world I’ve entered? Yay for Tea!
I love the Tea stuff- especially for boys. (Though the girls stuff is lovely, too.)
Free non-hideous clothes for boys? I’m in!
Cute shirts!
nonsequiturchica at gmail
I’m always looking for something other than the usual Carters/gymboree stuff for my girl.
Wow, great stuff! And we are expecting a new arrival in just a few weeks and could use some cool baby clothes! Preferably not another thing with ducks :)
I’m totally checking out Tea! Just in time for school shopping.
Nice! These clothes look terrific. And your boys make great models!
LOVE Tea. I got some outfits for my twins as a gift, had never heard of them before. Thanks for the contest!
My son would LOVE that horse shirt as well! Boy clothes do kind of suck, so any opportunity to get something cute yet boyish is awesome. Thanks!
jhoover723atyahoodotcom
I love the pirate shirt. Cute pics!
The blue hoodie is adorable!
Checking out their website right now, looks awesome. I’m in the same boat as you, I have four boys and shopping isn’t quite as much fun. It is quite a bit cheaper though when they really don’t care what they wear ;)
I have a boy too and would love to find some cute clothes for him!
these are awesome clothes – with two boys myself, finding clothing that is cool is nearly impossible!
Definitely harder to find boys things!
Yeah, this stuff is insanely cute. And that scene from Pulp Fiction is EXACTLY how I dress my son! Le sigh…
My sister has two boys close to Riley and Dylan’s age so this would be perfect for her!!
I love Tea clothes. There’s a kid’s boutique in our town that only carries their stuff. And the boy shirts are adorable, but I always find it kind of pricey, but maybe that’s just the markup at the store where I see it. I’ll have to check their website. And their jobs section. Travel allowance?!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing :)
I love the Tea stuff, especially how hard-wearing it is!
Man, those ARE super cute! Numberthingy pick me!
Those shirts are awesome! I kind of want the Bullshirt! tee for me.
I love Tea. Most of my son’s clothes are hand-me-downs, and the Tea stuff always looks brand new; the quality is fantastic. When I found out I was having a daughter, the very first outfit I bought for her was Tea.
I’m with you on the cute boy clothes issue. I have a 2 1/2 year old boy and another one due in October and Tea has been a great source of cute boy clothes. We have the bullshirt too!
awesome boy clothes…sometimes i feel bad for my son when we’re out shopping and his sisters items take up the whole cart and his powerangertransformercarslegostarwarslogo BS never seems to make it in…
yes to Tea clothes!
I LOVE Tea clothes, was lucky enough to be given 2 outfits for the baby which she will unfortunately grow out of soon.
I totally feel you on the boy clothes! We’re not a big sports family, so that right there cuts down on about half the options typically available. I think my son will swoon for that Pirata shirt.
I didn’t realize how much I loved clothes for children until I had my own child. Love those baby clothes!
Now I want to go eyeball their career’s page. And I really do need to branch out from just picking up stuff for my girlie at Target.
This post made me wonder… Is Dylan still as into HORSE! as he used to be?
Super cute clothes, I like what I see! And I have boys, which yes, are a challenge to dress.
sj1026 at gmail dot com
My kiddos are getting bigger, but maybe depending on how big the clothes are sized, I could get cute shirts for ME!!
I received some hand-me-down tea clothing for my daughter – they ARE cute (and hold up well). Would love to ave opportunity to purchase new things. :)
I love TEA and would love to win! Thanks for the opportunity!
Love these! The Horse! shirt is my favorite.
Oooh, sign me up!
And yeah, girls stuff is cute, but when I shop for my daughter, I have to be on Hoochie Alert because a lot of stuff is short and tight and inappropriate.
Love your comments on boy clothes – with one girl and two boys – the girl is much more fun to shop for. Also love the ‘Work Release’ post. With an 8 week old baby and 2 others under 5 – I am greatly looking forward to those days where the children are a little more independent.
They do have the cutest clothes there. Your boys are adorable.
Is so much harder to find boy clothes than girl clothes. I want tea!
My daughter has received Tea dresses as gifts and I can confirm they wash and wear wonderfully. Now I’ll have to go browse the boys’ collection. Love the horse shirt!
Oh my..I just love Tea’s boy clothes. Cute and age appropriate while still being stylish and interesting. Really neat to hear about their travel program, too!
I LOVE TEA!
I am in the same boat with my 2 year old twins! Bring on the cute clothes please! And for free? Even better!
I like cute clothes! I have girls, so cute clothes are not hard to find, but still…
As the mom of two boys, I agree – bring on the cute clothes Tea!
Oooh! Oooh! Randomly pick me! Randomly pick me!
Totally know what you mean about dressing a boy. Luckily my 3 year old will wear whatever I pick out, but of course, those days are numbered!
I sure would like a freebie from Tea! For my boy child!
Cute. Pick me, random number thing!
I’d love to get some shirts for my daughter but what about some adult clothes tea??
Super cute stuff! And I’m with ya on the ugly boys clothes. I hate licensed character anything, but of course that’s what my kid gravitates towards. Doesn’t mean I buy it, but it’s a fight every time.
I always get so annoyed that girls clothes get 75% of the floor space! Boys can be cute, too…at least their mamas want them to look cute while we still have some say so! Tea is very cool…
Adorable!!!! It is so hard to find awesome boys’ clothes. Then I find something wonderful and have to keep myself from putting it on them every single day. Because, trust me, they ask.
Very cute and cool concept! I also approve of your snark sprinkled through, even though it’s a sponsored post.
We’re awaiting the arrival of boy #2 in the next few weeks, so a gift certificate for some new cool duds would be much appreciated!
Tea is my favorite brand to buy my little nephews! The shirts are cute but I think the soft pants and shorts are the best part- they’re like sweatpants but styling.
Love them. I refuse to buy my son the horrible sports-themed stuff in Target etc, which limits my options horribly as he starts to pass beyond the under-5 sizes. Mostly I hold out for hand-me-downs from his rich cousins.
Awesome! I love hearing about great sites like Tea.
random thingamigger…PICK ME PICK ME!!
please please please
Awesome. Fun clothes for kids are always nice. We just hit a growth spurt, and it’s time for new clothes for my little one.
I’ve got a fashionista 11 year old who needs school clothes…come on, Random Number Generator!!!
Also…HORSE!!!! And I’m with you, blue hoodie all the way.
Oh yeah!!! Sign me up!
Cute boy clothes ARE hard to find — thanks for the tip! Crossing my fingers… Dylan must be totally lovin the HORSE!
Yeah…finding nice clothes for boys totally sucks.
Sign me up for some (possible, but probably not) free stuff.
Super cute! The boys and the clothes, of course. And I totally agree, mothers of boys must save so much money – girls stuff is SO much cuter!
I love catchy tshirts!!!
Holla!
Wow, they do have nice stuff. Never heard of them before.
Been following you for a couple years now and have a boy between the ages of yours…so everything you talk about really resonates with me. Keep up the good work and hell yeah on getting in a drawing for free boy clothes that are not crap-tastic!!!!!
Oh my, those clothes are lovely. Please put my name into the virtual hat! :-)
My son just went through a huge growth spurt, so he could definitely use some new threads!
Yeah! Cute little kid clothes. Our daughter is due any day now and I am so over all of the sequins and bright pink on little girls clothes. I love their clothes!
Ooooh, my son North could always use some new threads. He seems to go through clothes so quickly! Please enter me. :)
Love Tea! Also, school clothes…..
I spied the catalog somewhere. They make cute mama clothes too!
Yep, finding decent boys’ clothes is a bit daunting. Thankfully, I had a friend give me a TON of hand-me-downs, so I kind of didn’t CARE since I didn’t pay for them. But now he’s getting to the bottom of the stash! Oh no! School is about to start!
I was going to post a comment anyway but since there might be something in it for us, woo-hoo! I still refuse to buy anything sports-themed or “merchandising-ish”, so I get what you’re saying. I am able to find really cute Hurley stuff at Ross and places like that every once in a while so that it is more affordable, but it’s really hard to find shirts that are not covered in soccer balls/footballs once they reach 3+ years. I’m just not going to do it. Hell, I haven’t sewed since I made that walrus pillow in Home Ec in the seventh grade and my antique Singer sewing machine is more of a piece of furniture in our home, but I will break out that bad boy if I have to!
I love Tea Collection! 50% of the time I’ll buy them from the store and 50% I’ll buy them used (for the higher end items). Very durable and dig the stallion shirt. I got a similar one but it’s a bull.
BULLSHIRT! Heh.
Now I have my eye on a dress for my daughter’s 4th birthday. Oh yes, I do.
Another mom of 2 boys who desperately avoids all sports-related and other cheesy man-togs. I got some Tea stuff on sale once and my six year old lived in those clothes. They were so soft, so nice, and gorgeous colors. They’re currently in a box waiting for boy #2 to get tall enough to wear them. Love all the Tea-pimping going on today!
my husbands saying is…”if it’s free it’s for me” … I just like to find good deals on quality stuff.
Your boys are too cute- I also like the blue hoodie. I am going to check out the girls clothes right now.
Love their clothes!! Thanks for sharing!!
Wow – cute stuff for boys! Somehow I skipped right past the boys’ section when looking for my girls. But your guys look so good in them! Thanks for sharing.
Oh, I love Tea.
Hooray for HORSE shirts! Do they have anything monkey themed? Because that’s all my kid wants to wear. If it is blue and has a monkey on it, she’s all over it. I’ve been doing all her shopping in the Target boys department, and I would love to mix it up a little.
That stuff is WAY cute! SIgn me up for a potential freebie!
Love these shirts!! I so feel ya on not finding cute trendy boys’s clothes. It does not seem like it would be that hard. Props to Tea.
They have really cute stuff! I have two boys as well sO I understand the difficulty in finding cute boy clothes!
My biggest disappointment in having a boy after a girl was…the clothes. What the hell? Why can they create fun, interesting patterns and designs for girls but boys get cartoon dinosaurs and sports motifs? Ew.
Yes, please.
Love the shirts!
Looks like great stuff and I have 2 boys so bring it on!
Thank you so much for sharing. I get so tired of seeing three other boys at the playground wearing the same faux-hipster Target t-shirt as my son. I feel like the least original parent on the planet (but seriously how can you not buy them when they are $4 each?). I am totally willing to spend a little more on occasion, if it means my son won’t look like he got dressed in the dark all the time.
Having a baby in January- count me in!
HA! Bullshirt.
Oh, so cute! I love their clothes, and I noticed that they have a women’s section too. The pimento scarf is amazing!
Awesome! Would love to be picked by the thingamajigger!
those are pretty dang cute
Cute clothes! Pick me, pick me!
Love the duds…would love some cute Ts for my almost 2 yo!
I absolutely LOVE Tea clothing although we don’t have very many on hand. The ones sold in our area are a bit pricey…I guess I should check it out online instead. Thanks for the great giveaway! =)
Oh, I just went and looked at the dresses and oh my! My husband and my wallet don’t thank you, but I sure do ;p
very cute clothes, would love them for my grandson!
I love Tea. There used to be a little shop in West Seattle that carried their clothes and I would wait super paitently for things to go on clearance and gobble up as much as I could. My daughter’s last Tea shirt is almost too small now. I have often wondered where else I could find it. The last time I looked you couldn’t buy it online.
I hear you on the clothing options for boys once they get past 5T – lousy! The shirts your boys are wearing from Tea are really nice. I think I’ll mosey on over to their website and check it out – thanks for the info!
I always love Tea stuff. Liam has some cute fish and dragon items already waiting ot be worn.
LOVE their stuff. :)
Nice threads! I’m thinking every little boy needs a Mexican wrestler shirt. I mean, really!
Would love this for little Ingrid! Too cute!
I would love this for my 3 year old. Cute stuff!
I have a little girl, and I’ve always wondered if it’s harder to find cute clothes for little boys or if it just seems that way. It’s great that Tea offers some boy clothes which aren’t entirely car/sports/monster/superhero/pirate themed. Thanks for the drawing!
Those clothes are adorable…my little man would be the hottest thing in his kindergarten class this fall!!
Thanks for having the giveaway.
Would love a chance to win a gift certificate.
Amen for decent boy clothes!
Thanks for introducing me to a great company! I love shopping for my daughter. For my son… not so much. Although, if I had $75 to spend, it would probably be more fun! :)
Amen to no cute boy clothes. I’ve started getting plain shirts and putting my own stuff on them
$75 for cute kids’ clothes right before school starts? Yes please! Pick me!
I’m begging my friends to have more babies so I’ll get to buy cute clothes for a little girl, it’d be nice to buy for my son instead!
I never win but I’m commenting because I have a little boy so I understand your pain. I also have a little girl who LOVES clothes.
I, too, tend to find little enjoyment in shopping for my boys’ clothes. But a gift certificate would perk me right up!
I love me some Tea Collection! And since my 4-month-old already weighs 19 pounds I think I could probably use some clothes.
Adorable clothes! I am expecting my first child – a girl – in November. It would be fantastic to be able to get some free cute clothes!
I’ve been pissed about the bullshit of crappy boy’s clothing selections since 2003. Sometimes I don’t want my son to wear something with a cartoon or skull and crossbones on it. Love the Tea stuff!
Riley’s 5year old fake smile is my favorite part of this post :) Thanks for the offer!
Love Tea Collection! I have a girl and a boy, and you are COMPLETELY right about boy clothes. Would love some Tea! Thanks.
Ditto to the whole issue regarding boys’ clothing. My kid doesn’t yet know who Batman or Lightning McQueen is. Why would I want to introduce him through his clothes? I don’t know if I’ve commented before but I really do love your blog.
Lovin’ Tea!!
Yep, I hear you on the boy clothes. I have an 8-year-old son and pretty much all he wears are t-shirts and athletic shorts. Lame.
I, too, love these clothes. Simple, attractive, universally stylish!!! Awesome.
I feel you on the boys’ clothing. My son is four, & sometimes I just buy him 5 colors of the same t-shirt & 5 pairs of the same shorts in various colors, b/c all the junk they put out for boys “looks like dorks” to me too. I’ll definitely be trying out some Tea stuff.
I’m expecting a baby in November and this would be amazing!
So cute! Thanks for posting!
I had no idea who Tea was before this post, but free kid clothes is always a plus. They grow so freaking fast.
Cute stuff! Love Tea!
Love tea clothes!
Kw980ataoldotcom
I love Tea!! Their stuff is amazing.
Love these clothes on the boys! They are adorable, as usual.
YES! Thanks for calling attention to a kids clothing company that DOESN’T SUCK! My son is 2.5, and I’m starting to feel like his options for cute clothes are dwindling more and more as he gets bigger. I’d love to win this gift card.
I had never heard of them, but I just took a look and oh MY some of the girl dresses are ADORABLE. (But I’d probably use it on back to school for the boy.)
Love that horse shirt!
Really cute stuff. Thanks for sharing!
Oooh! I love Tea! I’m always pushing the boys clothes on my friends.
It is seriously impossible to find cute boy stuff. I think my kid needs that horse t-shirt, too.
Oh and you forgot to mention that they have some very lovely clothes for women too! Not really cheap, but really nice. Looks like a great company.
Include me! We’re Tea Addicts around here. :)
I have a daughter and am due with a baby boy in September. I was just bemoaning how less fun it is to shop for boys’ clothes as I looked through the racks of blue things with baseballs and dinosaurs.
So true about boy clothes! Sign me up! Thanks!
I love Tea’s girl clothes!
Heck YES, I would love a gift certificate I could use on cute boy clothes!
that was the least obnoxious sponsored post i think i’ve ever read…. and i kinda want to work for Tea, too!!
but in the meantime, a gift certificate would be swell… my godson and goddaughter are both under the age of 4 and belong to my former roommate, who has been through more than just about anyone i know, and she and her hubby work super hard seven days a week just to put clothes on their backs.
i’d loooove to put those kiddos in some cute new duds just for fun and no one deserves it more!!
thanks for the idea, either way… if i don’t win the certificate, i know where i’ll be looking for Conner come Christmas! :)
Cute stuff! Consider me entered!
Love Tea Collection for our girl; haven’t even contemplated them for the boy, but these are too perfect.
Ooh, I love Tea clothes! They are so cute. I bought my daughter a dress from them a few months ago and she asks to wear her “pretty lellow dress” every. single. day. :)
Great timing – just starting the back to school shopping!
okay, i don’t have kids, but i do eye the boys clothes, as i have two nephews. they usually end up in things with skulls on them which leads me to believe they might be pirates. i’m not sure.
These clothes are adorable! I’d love to try them out!
I love Tea. I wish I could afford more of it. I stalk their website for sales.
Their clothes are gorgeous, no doubt. But here’s a tip for the girls clothes for people who have never bought them: they run thin. My oldest girl is rail thin; my other girl is thicker. The clothes are much more flattering on my oldest and they run true to her size (whereas she has to go down sizes in most brands). For my youngest, I buy up two to three sizes.
Very cute shirts – count me in for the prize drawing!
I love Tea! I usually buy their stuff on sale at Nordstroms. Thanks for the opportunity!
It really is tough to find cute boy clothes. Thanks for the tip, and the giveaway!
Wow. Look at how many comments you’ve generated! Guess that not only shows how many devoted fans you have, but also that we all like a chance to win free stuff!! I have two boys & can totally relate to your clothing-related blather. I love Tea’s “Hola!” shirt and polos and hoodies and the girl stuff … OMG. I had to stop looking, it was making me too jealous.
I’m commenting even though I live in Canada because if I win I can get the stuff shipped to my SIL in San Diego who I just happen to be visiting at the end of August! It’s like I was MEANT to win!
Love that blue hoodie.
ME! ME! ME! ME!
They are super cute. My 4 year old would love the horse shirt.
Watch the combox SOAR! These are extremely cute. (The boys are too!) yay for giveaways!
Super cute stuff and just in time for back to school
Not looking forward to putting my 5-year-old son in skull/skateboarding/other totally inappropriate for small children-themed clothing. This should help.
Those outfits are adorable! I could use some clothes money for my munchkins, haha. :)
Agreed on boys’ clothes. Sometimes I feel like the symbols and stuff might be gang signs or something — of which I am totally unaware. So then I’m stuck with stupid sports or character Ts. Lame.
Great giveaway, I LOVE their stuff. The hoodie and the horse shirt are cute. The boys look so grown up here!
So rad!
Love Tea (and the boys look awesome in their Tea) Have a boy and a girl – something for both.
SUPER cute stuff! I am in love with that HOLA shirt!
And I’m dying over the horse shirt for Dylan–too perfect!! Whenever I see anything HORSE I think of him.
I’ve never heard of them–thanks for the introduction and the chance to win! :)
The clothes are adorable! You are not kidding — it’s much easier to find cute clothes for girls than for boys, although it can sometimes be hard to find age-appropriate clothes for little girls, if you know what I mean.
BTW, apropos of nothing, if you watch So You Think You Can Dance…there’s a choreographer on there, Stacey Tookey, that I think looks so much like you. I do a double-take every time she’s on screen!
I have recently seen this pop up a few times in my internet travels. So glad to hear an opinion about them!
Awesome boys clothes? Sign me and Rhys up!
My daughter got a Tea dress as a gift. Loved it! Wouldn’t mind getting her some more of their great stuff.
Awesome. Love to find a company with decent boys clothes that I can afford!
I love the comparison to the Pulp Fiction “dork” scene! These clothes are super-cute and cool. Thanks for sharing and for the opportunity to win something for the kiddos.
Love Tea! Such a great company
That’s exactly how boys should dress. So cute!
Cute kids clothes that aren’t cutesy? Sounds awesome to me!
I used to dream about all the cute little outfits I’d dress my daughter in and while I’ve enjoyed doing so over the past 9 years, I have to say I’ve gotten a far bigger kick out picking out boy’s clothing for my 2 boys than I could have ever imagined. I will definitely have to check out their website – thanks for the tip!
My kid is drowning in clothes, but I have a baby shower for a friend coming up, and have been having a heck of a time finding things for little boys. This would be great!
Love it! Need me some cute toddler boy clothes.
cute stuff!
Adorable stuff! Thanks for the recommendation! I’m constantly in search of something that doesn’t have Mario on it!!
I completely agree about the lack of decent boys clothes. I’ll definitely check out Tea.
My 4 y.o. son would look great in some teawear! :) Would love to win, but will make a purchase if I don’t.
i have girls and a boy and yes, i agree, the girls are much better dressed-but what i save in boy clothes, we make up for in legos which is just fine with him! so if i win a GC, it will definitely go to buying those adorable tea dresses!! thanks!
Cute stuff!
Cute clothes- thanks!
Their stuff looks awesome. Count me in!
Thanks for the info on a new-to-me place to shop for my boy!
Sweeeeeet…TEA! (that’s for those of us in the south!)
Love Tea Collection! Especially for boys-even as toddler’s its hard to find cute–not cartoony–boys clothes.
I have a friend who has twin boys and I think she would LOVE this clothing line! If I won the gift certificate, I would totally give it to her. Love all the clothes your boys are wearing!
I’m with you on the discrepancy between boy and Girl clothes, although I do manage to find some very cute shirts at Gap. That hoodie is adorable. I will have to check out their website.
I’m in. And those are such great pics. Aren’t you enjoying the weather around here finally feeling like summer? (Knock on wood…)
Thanks for the chance to win! I’m so sick of everything for boys being either “skull and crossbones” or “skater dude.”
Well, the part about Pulp Fiction made me laugh out loud. I have to admit, my kid looks like that sometimes, but I’d rather have her in tea clothes.
P.S. Do you have Nordstrom Rack around you? Sometimes, I can get Tea clothes cheap there.
I HEAR YOU SO HARD on boy clothes ZOMG. Love the shirts the boys are wearing. Theo would love them all. Toss my hat in the ring.
samanthajocampen at gmail
I already LOVE Tea brand and my baby girl would love some outfits!
I am in the midst of tshirts with nothing but Star Wars Legos on them. TEA — save me!
I totally agree with the lack of boys stuff! I was just at Old Navy today and came away with a Batman T-Shirt on sale for my oldest. Blah!
They sure have some cute clothes!!
Lurve Tea. The problem we have is there is a place in town that sells a lot of Tea choices for girls but nothing for BIG boys, just the baby boys. BOO! Love the boy stuff!!!
I always end up with something from Tea when I boutique shop. And their stuff outlasts the children and their dirt covered shenanigans!
I love TEA clothing, and the principles behind their clothing. Their girl clothes are so good at looking girly without all being Bright! Pink!
I totally agree with the clothes for boys, they kinda suck a lot. Also, BULLSHIRT! made me laugh.
Love the shirts! :)
As a mom of 3 boys, I have to agree with you on the available clothes for boys! My horse loving two year old would also love that t-shirt…
I had never heard of Tea, until a friend gave my son a bag of her son’s hand-me-downs. My favorite outfit was from Tea. I hadn’t looked up the brand yet, but now seeing your post, I’m on it. Thanks!
Amen on the boys clothes. Football/trucks/dinosaurs. Blech. Would love some new fun clothes for little man.
Very very cute clothes! Love them!
You know what I hate even more than the cartoon character clothing for boys? The clothes for toddlers that have skulls and cross bones and skateboards etc. I have ordered from Tea before for my girls, I love their clothes and you can definitely tell that they are inspired by other cultures.
Preggers with boy #3, in need of cute, stylish clothes for them!Tea seems to offer that–Happiness!
Oh my, boys’ shirts that don’t have some rude saying on them? Pretty awesome.
I have two boys too. What I like best about Tea is even their lightweight shirts are durable – very toddler & hand-me-down friendly.
Love the idea of cute and original boys’ clothing. Sign me up Tea! Although I have to disagree about girls’ clothing–unless I want to dress my daughter in crap with the Bratz or Miley Cyrus all over it, or just totally inappropriate overtly sexual stuff–there ain’t much out there.
Talk about lot’s of comments. Hope you get a bump for all the activity on your blog. Looking forward to seeing your take on some women’s clothing deals. You are awesome!
Ooh, I’m going to have to see if they do newborn stuff. I have a friend who just had a baby girl.
I LOVE TEA!
Pick me!!
What, finding boys clothes is only going to get harder?!?! Already I’m having a hard time finding good stuff and my boy is only 13 months old!
Heck, I’d probably enter the contest even if it meant free ugly clothes!
Very cute clothes, my two boys could use something other than Target and Old Navy as well!
My parents got quite a bit of Tea stuff for our girls and it was my favorite. Hanna Andersson is nice quality, but I usually can’t figure out all the conflicting pattern stuff. Tea stuff is easy for mommy to coordinate and wears very nicely too, so I was able to use the stuff for 2 kids and it still looks pretty good.
cute stuff! never would have found them without this post. thanks!
I love Tea collection–all I need is a gift certificate so I can afford to buy some! And I will try to force myself to buy stuff for my son, instead of my daughter, because you are so right about the lack of options in cute boys clothes!
I am so excited FOR him about that horse shirt!
Non-stupid clothing for boys is always welcome here.
i love me some tea!!!
oh! i love tea! and i love that horse shirt, how perfect!
I agree 100% that parents of girls have the better deal. I love Riley’s pirate ship shirt!
Love the horse shirt! And that blue hoodie is cute – off to check out the girly stuff, thanks!
I know what you mean about boys clothes. My son just turned two and everything looks like logo-vomit or ESPN sponsoring childhood. I would love the certificate! Thanks Tea and Linda!
oh I love tea! I definitely drool over the girl stuff for my girl, but I’d probably use a GC for my boy – you are right, it’s easy to find cute girls stuff everywhere :)
I have girls and the tea collection is one of my favorites for them.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Tea rocks! A few local stores sell it in my area, and I have ordered online from them as well. Great quality stuff, washes well, and even lasts to be a nice hand-me-down in most cases. Yay!
Cute! I have three boys, I would love to win!
Cute boys clothes? Yes, please!
love your blog! and love love love Tea brand clothes for my little (big) guy!
Wow, love this stuff. Would look super awesome on my almost-4-year old little man.
What an awesome company! I so want to work there! Thanks for the great giveaway!! *crossing my fingers*
Super Cute/Cool Stuff!!!
cute clothes! I love Tea Collection!
Love the stuff you got your boys…too cute!! Love Tea for my ds as well….cute and comfy!!
Your son looks great! I’m new to Tea and just placed my first order!
thanks for the introduction. would love to try them out.
I checked out their clothes and you’re right, they are really cool. I’d love to win that gift certificate!
I’d admittedly be buying girl stuff, not boys, but would love to get my hands on some.
Wonder if Tea goes up to 9 year old sizes? Would love to see my son in something other than a Sounders jersey.
BULLSHIRT!!!! Totally have to get one! I have to boys and I hear ya on the clothes!
Hope the random thingamajigger picks me. If so…give me a jingle at alloydneto@gmail.com
Bull-shirt is my new favorite. I’ve got boys too. Were the sizes what you expected? I’m always looking for longer shirts.
Cute!
Adorable! I love tea! They have such an authentic style~
Cute boy clothes?! Wha??? I’m drowning in a sea of light blue “Mommy’s Lil Slugger” themed clothes over here!
I love Tea!
pick me, pick me, pick me!!!!!!!! I know it’s automated but ya know…maybe.
I totally hear you on the lack of cute boy clothes! :)
I’ve seen these clothes around and always love them!
Oh what great stuff! I love it, and I have a girl that I could buy some of those adorable girl things for…
did any of those 427 people above me say they want to win FREE CLOTHES or are they pretending to actually comment?
those clothes are actually cool. I’m sick of cheesy kids clothes. I’m a big fan of the bullshirt too.
Oooh this would be awesome to win with a mini kidlet on the way! Count me in. :) intlulu at yahoo dot com.
their stuff is adorable. And I’d love to dress my boy in something that’s not a sports-themed hand-me-down (love the handing-down relatives, but they are waaay into the gender stereotyping, and we have inherited a lot of “Li’l Slugger” or “Rookie #1″ clothing.)
Love it. Boyish without screaming BOY!
Oh yes, I have three boys and buying them clothes is not fun. I love these designs!
This is why I love the internet. Finding out about great things you normally would not know about. Please do not quit doing “stuff I like”. Love your blog I have been reading for years and this is one reason…thanks!
I have two boys who would rock these clothes! ;) Thanks for the opportunity to win free stuff!
Three boys to clothe here. Love the selection!
Amen on the hideous boys clothes. After dressing a little girl for 3 years, I’m at a loss when it comes to dressing her brother!
LOVE them! Did you know our boys share a b’day? 8/31
Any comment? I hate Dora the Explorer. Every day I hate her more.
Love Tea stuff. I had one dress for my daughter and would have had her wear it every day if I didn’t feel like I might have been judged for it.
I’ve never heard of Tea, but the clothes on their site look great!
My Tea sob story: my son was given about $100 worth of gorgeous Tea clothing; unfortunately, he had just grown out of the size he was given. Although I was sad, I decided just to hang onto the brand new clothes and regift to a friend whose child was a few months younger. Well, I had to go on a business trip for a few days, and when I came back, I found that my mother had taken off all of the tags and washed the stack of Tea clothing!! ARGHHHHHHH. So now not only can my son wear the too-small yet beautiful clothes, but I can no longer regift them. Grrrr.
So I guess now I’ll be saving up for buying some Tea clothing on my own, although I am quite certain I would never sneeze at a gift card. ;)
Cool :) New clothes! Need. Bad. LOL
Just checked out the site, awesome stuff! I so agree with you on the boy clothes rant. My second child was a daughter and the clothes! Shoes! Everything for girls is so much easier. Ugh. Is love a Tea gift card :)
Love the clothes!!!
This is a great giveaway. I never heard of Tea until this post-thank you! Just say no to Pulp Fiction gym “dork” style. Yes to durable, awesome clothes!
Such. Cute. Things.
I really want the little old man cardigan for my boy, and pretty much everything else.
I had to comment on this post, totally agree with you on the dorky clothes for boys…I have two boys and it’s so hard to find shirts for them that aren’t action figure/movie related!
Hadn’t heard of Tea until now – what cute clothes!
I’ll take mine with milk and honey, please.
Love the Pulp Fiction reference!
Awesome clothes – you can never go wrong with gray and orange!
I SO hear you on the boys clothes. With a 6 year old and a 1 year old to dress, I run into this problem all the time. This looks like some fabulous stuff! Thanks for the recommendation…
I prefer my tea with lemon, no sugar. But whatevs…
Cute boy clothes ARE hard to come by, that’s for sure — and I love the bullshirt! (But it’s really easy to forget to type the r, I just discovered…)
Love tea clothing. adorable for my little boy!
yay for cute boy clothes! i hate how after you move out of baby sizes, most boys clothes are obnoxious.nice change!
Yes – so nice to see boys clothes that aren’t all about sports!
Man, I would *love* to get some of those shirts for my kid! Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh, I’m definitely going to check them out- love the horse shirt!
kpur8ple(at)gmail(dot)com
Cute clothes… cuter boys!
I have gotten their catalog for awhile now, but never ordered anything. My son is also leaving the toddler years behind and I’m just noticing that his clothing options have suddenly become very limited!
OK, so I can’t enter this (damn international delivery hassles – why do US firms never do international?) but I thought you might be interested in this link: it’s for a British company which bizarrely does deliver to Australia, Canada and a whole slew of other places, doesn’t deliver to the US (I swear this isn’t just to piss you off…!) but which does do adorable, fun boys’ clothes (I only have girls and have many things from this place, but have bought stuff for gifts for boys). If you were really interested, we could probably come to an arrangement for me to send you stuff… http://www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Boys-Tops-T-shirts.html#nav
Right there with ya on the frustration over the lack of decent little boys wear. I don’t want my kids to look like they’ve had more than their fair share of concussions at 3 and 5, nor do I want them to look like a bunch of preppy tight wads. Dressing girls is ironically and seemingly so much less of a task.
I love Tea! Like them on FB and you can hear about their deals and chances to win gift certificates!
Hi hear you, boys clothes are so hard to find. I mostly shop mini-boden off season for great boy clothes. I loved tea when he was smaller but haven’t checked out their older boys stuff. Yet.
I love Tea! My son is transitioning out of toddlerhood & I am having a hard time finding anything cute for him!
I adore Tea. I have girls, so it is pretty easy to find cute stuff, but the unique, international styles like those from Tea are not so easy to find. Not to mention my tween may actually wear one of their dresses.
So cute. Love the Super Tacos shirt.
I have two boys, almost the same age as yours, so I very much appreciate your blog. (Also, pick me, oh great and powerful thingamajigger)
Just in time for back-to-school. :)
Oh, I love Tea. My daughter had the cutest tunic and legging set (I’m guessing inspired by a trip to Japan) when she was learning to walk. I had forgotten about them — great reminder!
your boys should be Tea’s next models. SO cute!
1)Don’t even get me started on how there are still cute clothes on the girl’s SALES rack and not even any clothes for boys.. sigh.
2) I was hoping for further irony, thinking you’d mentioned a TEA party here (http://www.sundrymourning.com/page/9/?s=barf), but no, it was a cocktail party… still.. “So.. HORSE?” Makes me laugh every time I think of it.
I am loving the HORSE! shirt and the one with the ship on it is pretty cool too. I will definitely check out their site! :)
Holy wow, I’m the 475th comment? Lots of good publicity for a great company that makes really cool clothes for kids……
Have been reading your blog for a long time! Thanks for sharing about Tea, I really love the Blue pull over.
I just picked up two cute Tea dresses during the Nordstrom sale (they’re already well-priced, but especially so during the Half-Yearly – boo yah!). I’d love a few more… :>
I love Tea clothing but have only bought girl stuff for my niece from them. I love the boy things! Perfect for my 4-yr-old!
Well that’s just bullshirt, is what that is… But seriously, these seem like great clothes and I’m all about supporting a company with a strong ethic behind it. Nice find!
Love these clothes! Thank goodness for boys’ clothes that aren’t obnoxious!
I, also, loved the blue hoodie on your son!
I do find it interesting that I am much more able to tolerate (with eye rolling) the princess/fairy/hellokitty constant branding on my daughter, over the spongebob/footballlogo/dumptruck branding on my son. I’m not sure why. Is it that the girl stuff is cuter? Or that I believe that someday my daughter will realize that she does not want to be a fairy when she grows up and that most of the disney princess stories are filled with shallow people with poor decision making skills? Whereas my son: he may very well emulate spongebob/football players for life.
I love the way they find their inspiration… are foreigners who have a US shipping address eligible? ;)
What a great concept with world collections. My son loves the shark and turtle shirts. I agree with the other viewers about the crappy Disney Princess/Buzz Lightyear/Spongebob items. Thanks for the recommendation!
Their girl cloths are really cute too.
I agree with having a hard time finding cool clothes for boys. Tea looks like they have some great stuff- thanks for the tip. You might want to check out shirt woot; a new shirt each day and only $10. My son loves the shirts from there.
I feel your pain about boys clothes! When they are 3, all the construction truck tees are fine, but once they are in grade school, non-sucky shirts are HARD to find!
Cute clothes. My sister-in-law actually gave me a few of their clothes that her daughter had outgrown.
I didn’t know they had such a selection.
Love Tea for both girls and boys.
loved that pulp fiction pic- completely know what you mean. go TEA! :)
I have two boys and its very hard to find cute clothes. I would love a gift certificate!
Thanks!
My super with-it coworker got me 2 outfits from tea when my son was born. Sadly, he’s grown out of them at 10 months, but I’ll be looking for more for him soon!
I’ve been a big fan of Tea Collection since Elbow was a tiny baby. Their clothes last forever and they are some of the cutest boy options out there.
Awesome clothes! I had never made the connection with the Pulp Fiction outfits, but it’s absolutely perfect. Hope the random number thingie goes up this high.
Adorable!!! I will check them out!
Cute boy clothes is so hard to find. Glad to hear about Tea. I’m going to check them out.
Love the “pirata” shirt!
Cute stuff! I had never heard of them before. Thanks!
It’s nice finding boy clothes outside the standard ’sports/dinosaurs/cars’ theme. My son doesn’t really give a hoot about any of those things.
I’m going to have to send over one of my colleagues to get them set up with international shipping – ’cause everyone with boys all over the world should not have them have to wear Buzz Lightyear t-shirts.
Love Tea! It is my all time favorite. It lasts forever and is so darn cute.
My little nephew would love some new clothes!!
Yikes there are a lot of posts here. How are you going to pick a winner? I’m going to make my “entry” a haiku in hopes of standing out.

Great post, and thanks for offering the giveaway! My little girl would love some new clothes and I’d really like to check out Tea.
I had never heard of Tea but am going to check out their website right now.
I’ve admired the Tea website for a while now, but I’ve never tried them. It definitely looks like I will be soon!
Terrific. Count me in.
Tea keeps popping up in my life in weird ways, so I think that’s the universe telling the random number generator to PICK ME.
Oh, count us in, great designs! We’re under the tyranny of pink here, and could use a change!
I’ve been following you practically since I started tweeting. I never post here, but since I’m in love with Tea’s little girl clothes and could never hope to afford them, COUNT ME IN!
Thanks for the chance. Also, thanks for the laughs.
Love Tea clothing – so durable and attractive.
As the mother of 3 boys 5 and under, I’d love to win this!
my grandchildren aren’t allowed to wear licensed merchandise- hello kitty is the one exception. it hard to buy them clothes. tea has some cute clothes- not to mention your adorable male models!
Cute! I like Tea!
LOVE Tea clothes!
So nice to finally see cute boys clothes. I do know exactly what you mean!
cute clothes! I love a giveaway.
Cute clothes! I love to dress my little girl up and will tell my boy mom friends about this too.
You get a huge AMEN from me! I have a 16 year old and a 7 year old son’s and have always had a hard time finding nice, cute boy clothes. I’ll be looking at Tea’s website – thanks for the recommendation!
I would love to win this gift certificate for my 3 year-old boy/girl twins!
One of the reasons I most love Tea is they give as much attention to making cute boys’ clothes as they do girls’.
Cute clothes for boys- I’m sold!
I love me some Tea!
These are adorable! Horse!
Super cute!
ME ME ME! I LOVE the bullshirt!
Love!
Love tea stuff. Received some for a baby gift and would love some more. Thanks!
Great post, and adorable pics!! I love tea, very unique and great quality.
Very nice I must say. In two weeks, I’ll not only have a fiesty 2 year old girl on my hands but also a brand spankin’, shiney, new baby boy to adorn with cute clothes. Thanks for the tip!
I love Tea.
Count me in!
We love pirates, my son would love that shirt!!
Love that Pirata shirt!
I love tea, but find some of the girls dresses, etc a bit too pricey for everyday buying. I am excited when I find it on sale, though!
Even though I’d love to win, I’m still going to check out their shop. I have a boy (after two girls) and I hate the choices for boys at my usual places. Thanks for the tip!
I am loving that Tea employees get an allowance towards international travel!!!
My mom occasionally buys my daughter awesome outfits from Tea- boy clothes are usually so much less fun. Love the horse shirt, though.
That pirate tee will so be purchased, like, today. This post made me laugh my ass off. It’s so true about boys clothes. They down-right suck a toe, man. The Pulp Fiction pic had me in tears with laughter. Thanks for the laugh.
Those are very adorable clothes. Your kids are also ridiculously cute and clearly so active.
Love me some team collection!
Pick me! Pick me! My goddaughter arrives in the world in about a month! :)
I have two boys just about your boys’ ages. The clothing – SO FRUSTRATING!! THe clothes look cute. THanks for the opportunity :)
Yay – no…BIG YAY…for cute boy’s clothes. With a 15 month old boy and another boy due in October, I’d love to win this and buy some cute boy clothes.
Awesome boy clothes? Just in time for my son to (sniff!) start kindergarten? Yes, please!
I love Tea! Looks great on my bald baby!
Ooh – would love this! My son is 4 and it’s getting harder to find cute stuff!! My daughter is 1, so still not having any problems with finding her clothes :)
Thank you!
I would love to be your random number generated winner. My son also has a limited wardrobe consisting of jeans and fugly Lego shirts. Thanks!!
These are cute! But….I think your boys would be cute in a potato sack. :) Thanks Linda!!
Cute picks! I’d love a chance to win.
Wow, those shirts are cute, AND it sounds like an awesome place to work! I’m off to go peruse their site…
Nothing like a contest to generate eleventy billion comments. Count me in. :)
I totally agree about the boys’ clothes. Old Navy’s toddler section is full of adorable things; move to the boy section, and it’s just plain sad.
Love your blog!
Shopping is the only time I wished I had a girl. Love your blog!
Love Tea and have a second baby on the way. I would love a gift certificate to purchase some new cute duds for this child-to-be.
Dude, LOVE Tea! (Both drinkable and wearable). As for the clothes thing,girls clothes above 2T can suck just as hard! If I see one more stupid bright pink t-shirt with a ZhuZhu pet on the front, I might lose it.
Tea? Yes, please!
I love their pajamas! Your boys look adorable in their new gear.
I’m here for Riley in the blue hoodie. Oh, and for my dumplings who could use some new threads. Thanks!!
Love the onesie I have from tea!
Gah, hope I’m not too late to enter.
Very cute! Could def use some new tees and stuff for the boy! I haaaate those licensed tees.
I got a new tea catalog in the mail the day before I read your post. So, it goes without saying I have a few things already picked out. Thanks for the post, the boys are stylin’.
I have a girl (insert embarrassed shrug) so I do know about Tea, but I also have a will-be-2-this-week boy and am already tired of logoed tshirt options. Will definitely shop at Tea for him, even more so than her.
Please include me! Thanks!
I would love to win!!!! Thanks so much for the chance!
My mother-in-law watches the Tea website like a hawk and snaps up stuff for my daughter and son on sale…
Given that you’ve over 500 comments, you’ve probably heard this already, but the problem w/ girls clothes (especially, in my experience, from less expensive stores, where I’d like to shop) is that once you get out of the 4-6x range 3/4 of the stuff looks like it is for little street walkers. Really, really frustrating. I don’t want to dress my children to a) advertise for the movie of the week or b) look like they are destined for stripper names.
We love Tea clothes, they are comfortable and hold up well to many many washings!
Mmmm, Tea. I’ll jump in!
As if I didn’t love Tea enough for their cute clothes, now I want to work there. Thanks for the post – love that horse tee!
Pick me :)
Count me in – I love the fabric patterns.
Thanks for the chance to win! Am bookmarking your work release post.
I am so glad I have three boys-except when I face the ug that is most boys clothes.
Throwing my name in before it’s too late!
Those are definitely cute without being stupid cute! Will check their website out for more options.
We discovered tea last spring, and bought a mix and match set of dresses and leggings. My two year old loves them.
Oh, man, I’m entering that age where it’s hard to find something for my kid (who’s name happens to be from Pulp Fiction: Jules).
I would love to win!
Also hoping it’s not too late to throw my hat in…I love free stuff, and cute free stuff is even better!
Sign me up please! Woot woot!
would love this for my daughter!
I’ll have to buy girl clothes if I win. So sign me up. I gotta say though, $13 for a shirt seems like a lot, when Target has whole mix and match outfits for that or less…but maybe it’s harder for boys. I don’t know.
I just love, love Tea collection! Their stuff holds up so well!
We got a Tea romper as a baby shower gift – and it was my favorite thing until he (too soon) grew out of it
