Holiday Gift Guide #20: Tea Collection Review & $100 Gift Certificate Giveaway

Christmas is always a fun and busy time of year. Between my husband's family and my family, we have several get-togethers to go to over the next couple of weeks. That not only means I'm busy planning food and gifts... but also what we're all going to wear. I love getting the kids dressed up nice for each gathering..especially since there are so many family pictures being taken over this time. There are times it's been a little stressful finding great quality clothing that's both stylish and comfortable...but thankfully this year, I need look no further than Tea Collection!

What began in 2002 with 3 pima cotton sweaters and a vision of bringing a fusion of worldwide cultures and modern design to children's clothing, has since grown to include a large selection of distinctive apparel inspired by the beauty discovered while traveling around the world. With beautiful and modern clothing for boys and girls ages 0-12, everyone is sure to find something they truly love.

I was first introduced to Tea last Spring when I had the opportunity to review a few items for Kaelyn and Kaden. Extremely impressed with the quality and overall style, I have since enjoyed browsing their website in awe of their great collection of Designer Children's Clothing and women's clothing! This time of year they have their Highland Holiday collection which caught my eye right away and I couldn't have been more thrilled to learn we were going to have the opportunity to review a few pieces!

When the Tea Collection clothing arrived, I couldn't wait to check them out. I had a feeling we would be impressed, and I was right! As always, Tea Collection did not disappoint! Upon pulling them out of the package I found the style and quality I look for when it comes to my kids' clothes.

Kaelyn received the Lantana Banded Dress, Wildflower Wrap Dress and Sparkle Stripe Leggings.


As I've mentioned before, Kaelyn absolutely loves dresses of all kinds. No matter if we're headed out or staying at home, she is always asking to wear a dress. That's why I knew these Girl's Dresses would be a big hit! She was thrilled!! As with the other clothing we've reviewed from Tea in the past, I love that these items are such great quality! The fabric is soft, yet thick enough that I don't have to worry about it wearing with each wash. They come out looking like new every time!

I also like that the same pair of leggings can easily be paired with each dress to make an outfit. The versatility is something I absolutely love about Tea's clothing! She could also wear the leggings separately with another shirt and make a whole new outfit. I love it!!

The style of each dress is great for this time of year as well. The long sleeves and prints are just perfect and will be perfect for our Christmas get-togethers too. This time of year it's quite cold, so having her arms and legs covered is a must. These outfits are a great way to do that...not to mention SO adorable!

The leggings not only go great with these dresses, but I love the unique sparkle on them. It definitely makes them festive for this time of year.

Kaelyn has worn her Tea clothes several times already and comments how comfortable they are. It's a cute outfit, while at the same time something she can comfortably wear even when playing at home. When she wears them out and about, people compliment how cute and stylish the dresses are and ask where we got them.

Kaden received the Diego Stripe Tee, Fuerte Polo in cinnabar, and Surplus Playwear Pants in Cliff.
Checking out the Boys Clothing we received, I fell in love with the colors right away. I really like the greens and oranges for this time of year, not to mention the fact that they go with so many things Kaden wears!

As with the girls clothing, each piece is fantastic quality and has a style all its own. Tea has a way of making their clothing stand out as unique and top of the line which I love! They're stylish and above all, high quality so parents know they are getting clothing that will last their children a very long time.

Kaden's shirts can easily be mix and matched with the pants (and other pants Kaden owns). It's great to have the ability to make several outfits with just a few pieces. He has had the opportunity to wear them several times and really seems to be comfortable in them.
I for one love the style and the fact that these outfits can easily be worn for more casual dress or when we're going somewhere and he needs to be more dressed up. He has already worn them several times and is always getting compliments on how cute the clothes are.

The shirts fit very well. I love that both of them have room for him to grow into so that he's able to wear them for a long time.
Kaden gets hot easily, so the fact that the material is lighter and that one of the shirts is even short sleeves is great...even for this time of year.

The pants are also great! They're super cute and again, neutral enough that he's able to wear almost anything with them. They fit him perfectly, giving him a little room to grow yet which is fantastic! The waist is even adjustable which makes it even easier to fit them to his body type just right.

Overall we've been very impressed with the items we were sent from Tea Collection! Each one is versatile, comfortable, stylish and best of all...great quality. Once again, Tea did not disappoint with their Girl's Clothes or Boy's Clothing! Now that Caysen has arrived, I now look forward to shopping their super cute baby boy clothing as well! Just look at this adorable Hello 5-Piece Set for newborns...
I would highly recommend their children's clothing this holiday season (both as gifts and holiday attire) and the whole year through!
