If your child(ren) needs a few more bits and pieces to complete their winter wardrobe - or even a completely new one, they do tend to grow like weeds every now and again - then you should pop over to Marks and Spencers before 12 December: there's 20% off lots of lovely kids' clothing items.

I've always found hopping for clothes in Marks and Spencer a strange experience: there's always LOTS of lovely things for kids - trendy and stylish and always good quality, but their clothes for adult women can be really hit and miss! I always see plenty of rather nice looking clothes for men though, it just seems that the women's department is stuck in the frump ages - although, you can't beat their bras and knickers.

This year's kid's clothes offerings are no exception (in fact, they've been consistent for the last 18 years - I always loved buying clothes for my children in M&S) and there's plenty for kids of all ages and both genders, from babies right through to teens, and includes coats too (buy at least a size bigger than you need and it might, if you're lucky, last you two winters).

Marks and Spencer are also offering free UK standard delivery; they say it's for a limited time only, but I can't find anywhere to say exactly when they're going to stop it.  You don't have to enter any codes to get it, it'll automatically be deducted from your order total when you check out.

Here's one strictly for the men (and boys). Use this River Island promotional code (and I am a HUGE fan of their clothes - love the style even if I can't normally afford it!)  to get 20% off clothes. The code was advertised for menswear, but I tested it on a boy's shirt in the sale and it worked, bargain!

I tested it out on a boys green check western style shirt, which was already reduced in the sale from £15 to £10. This code took another £2 off that. Standard delivery on the site in the UK is £3.95.

This is a cute idea. At Vertbaudet you can get 20% of  your favourite item in the lovely new My Little Wardrobe range.

Vertbaudet have basically put together a range of complete outfits (including shoes) for both boys and girls so you can clad your kid from head to toe from as little as £29. They have a My Little Wardrobe range for babies, too.

This cute baby boy outfit consists of a jersey polo shirt over a checked poplin shirt to create that cool layered effect. The shirt has a wide neckline and the polo shirt has press-studs, making it is easy to slip over baby's head. The light canvas Bermuda shorts have a fully elasticated waistband and - my fave when it comes to baby clothing - press-studs around the inside leg for effortless nappy changes.  Genius idea, whoever thought of that. No more needless screaming as you strip your babe butt-naked in freezing changing rooms just to get to their nappy. The whole look is yours for £19 and if you enter the code 1298 at checkout you'll get 20% off your favourite item.

Similarly these boys jeans are just £12.00 and you can pick up a pack of two tees to team with them for £7. Don't forget that code for 20% off.

The jeans have loads of combat style pockets - a huge hit with little boys - and they come in 3 designs and a choice of either stonewashed denim or canvas fabric. They also have the all-important adjustable waistband - a must for growing lads - and they're 100% cotton.

It has to be said that there are cheaper clothes for children out there but it's the quality of Vertbaudet's clothing that gets my vote, so with this saving and the snazzy My Little Wardrobe range this is a great place to get your little 'uns' summer wardrobes sorted. Talking of summer, I wonder if we'll ever see the sun again...
