Baby Daily Deals Websites

A Quick List of Baby Flash Sale Sites 

(Source: http://www.squidoo.com/DealOfTheDayBabySites)

Here's a Brief Rundown of Flash Sale Sites Geared Towards Babies and Kids*

Tip: To get a feel on whether or not you like what any particular site has to offer, it's a good idea to check the site daily for 1-2 weeks. You can do this by subscribing to their daily email. This gives you a feel for the site without taking up a lot of your time, and you will generally know if you want to keep it on your radar or not. If you don't like it, just unsubscribe. Remember that with sites like this, as with baby deal of the day sites, patience is almost always rewarded. Ex: RueLaLa had a black Friday deal that every would-be-chef would go nuts over...Kitchen Aid mixers for $149...NO LIE!

*Most of these thrive and continue to grow in popularity via invitations from current members. When you click on one of the links below, you are clicking on my personal invitation for you to become a member. In some cases current members get credit on the site when new members join and/or make a purchase. This is not true of daily deal sites, just membership sites like the ones listed below.
Zulily
My favorite flash sale site for parents, Zulily has just about everything for infants, toddlers, little kids, maternity and nursing moms.
Totsy
Totsy is another favorite and is also geared exclusively towards all things kid/parent related.
HauteLook
HauteLook has great brands and a special section for kids/babies/maternity. They are also one of the best flash sale sites out there for mens and women's attire and have good home furnishing sales as well. This is a great site for scoring deals and all around really does have some of the best stuff on their site.
The Mini Social
The Mini Social is a more upscale membership site for babies and kids. They specialize in children's clothing and toys.
Gilt
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite sites for parenting related finds. You have to click a few times to really see into their sales in the kids section, but they usually have a whole LOT of stuff for sale and it's usually really good stuff too. This one is really worth checking out.
Ideeli
Similar to HauteLook, Ideeli has a special section devoted to all things kids/babies/maternity, but also has other sections for the whole family. Ideeli is interesting, because sometimes their sales are just so-so and other times they have some of the most amazing sales out there. It just depends on the sale.
Open Sky
Open Sky is a really unique kind of flash sale site, unlike the others. Essentially celebs or others who have a pulse on great products handpick certain products and present them on their shops. I'm still figuring this one out, but it's quickly becoming a favorite, although I haven't explored into the kids category as much as I would like. But what I've seen has been really great! They also randomly give you free credit, including $15 just for creating a free account...so that's super cool! Navigation is a little strange on this site, but it has fast grown on me.
Plum District
Plum District isn't your typical flash sale site. It's similar to groupon, but they do have flash sales and you do have to be a member to purchase just like the flash sale membership sites. Plum District is a great one for parents, because they almost always have something related to babies/kids/parenting. Sites like Plum District and Groupon are different because you have to sign up for a specific city. However, even if you don't live in a major city many of the finds are online sales so it's actually not a bad idea to sign up for the 2-3 closest cities to you. I was skeptical of this site at first and now it's one of my absolute favorites!
Fab
Fab is very new, less than a year old, but quickly gaining a following for their ultra modern, uber chic fare. Not strictly for kids, they have regular sales on home goods or toys in the children's categories. Hint: you've probably never seen or heard of most of the brands offered on Fab...but they're really cool...sometimes really out there. If you're looking for something no one else has ever seen or heard of, Fab is your place. This is a site definitely worth checking out.
Beyond the Rack
Beyond the Rack has a targeted kids/baby/maternity/nursing section, however, while they have some great things to offer, they have a bigger selection for men, women and home goods. They often have some great deals all around.
One King's Lane
A strictly home decor site, you'll often find home furnishing for baby's nursery or toddler rooms. They usually have a few sales a week targeted for parents. One Kings Lane has some really unique stuff and is a really fun site to browse. It's one of those sites that makes you remember when you didn't use to eat, sleep and breathe "kid".
The Foundary
The Foundary is not a site exclusive to the parenting sector, but often has kids gear and toys and is a very clean looking, easy to browse site. They have really nice products and always offer a range of product types and prices at all price points. They also have some of the most reasonable shipping rates. This is a great site to buy birthday and Christmas gifts for the whole family.
Joss & Main
This site is similar to One Kings Lane in that it focuses on unique and luxurious home goods with the occasional children's sale cropping up. However, Joss & Main caters to parents less frequently than One Kings Lane, but has mass appeal for the decorator in you.
Rue La La
Rue La La offers a focus on high fashion and just opened "Little Rue", a baby deal branch (partnered with Toys R Us!) for the kid/parenting sector. Rue is a fun site that often has great brands and offerings. Another cool thing about Rue La La? You pay $9.95 once a month and then get free shipping the rest of the month. Cool. Especially when you see their deals and the brands they carry. One of the best kids sales so far...FAO Schwarz!
Pure Citizen
An eco-conscious, responsible company unlike any other. This one is more for all you mamas and daddies out there, but benefits the entire family. You'll only occasionally find something related to the actual "kid" category. While you willl find things like vegan diaper bags on occasion, this site really does cater to the whole family in that it brings pure and responsibly created products and sources from vendors that are creating healthier products and giving back to their communities. This is a REALLY cool company...a must see!
