No matter how many hours I spend on Pinterest and Instagram looking for kids clothes, I can never find styles that I love and my kids will actually wear. Forget it if you have boys, the options are so limited—sports or dinosaur themed if you’re lucky. Why is it that whenever I step foot in a store, 80% is filled with the cutest clothes for the little girls and there’s only a small section for boys? Moms of boys like shopping for clothes just as much as moms of girls! Recently, I was let in on an awesome life hack that all the celebrity and stylish moms are talking about: Rockets of Awesome. They are a seasonal kids clothing subscription service that send you unique styles even your kids will think are cool.
Rockets of Awesome knows that all kids are picky, so they begin by asking you what your kids like and don’t like. Will they wear orange and greens, or plaid over camo? Hate top buttons but don’t mind button-up jeans? Won’t even look at neon without cringing? No matter what your kid is picky about, Rockets of Awesome has you covered. You can even choose between these looks: Cool (think bold patterns), Classic (clean-cut and preppy), Basics (monochrome and minimalist), and Sporty (fun and versatile) and mix and match your preferences in case your kid doesn’t fit into one category. I filled out the quiz and gave them info about my kids’ funny quirks—my youngest is five and he won’t go near zippers, stripes, or the color red, while my nine year old only wears camouflage. I loved how specific and personalized the questions were, and was excited to see what they would come up with for two very picky dressers.
My sons were psyched to open up their first boxes, and I have to say I was pretty impressed. The younger one loved the look and feel of his patterned tees while his brother, the sportier one, couldn’t wait to wear his glow-in-the-dark basketball shorts. Rockets of Awesome’s team of in-house designers specialize in comfy, wearable kids clothes that are completely unique and on-trend. I even spotted one of their shirts on Justin Timberlake’s kid in a magazine! And the best part? It’s affordable. Each item ranges in price from $16-$38 and if you decide to keep everything in the box, you get up to 25% off your entire order. What you or your kids aren’t crazy about, you can send back for free.
Finding stylish clothes for my boys that fit well and that they will actually wear has been a struggle. They grow so fast and their preferences seem to change overnight. Rockets of Awesome has become an invaluable part of dressing my kids—no more dressing room debacles, paying for overpriced, poor-quality clothes that are immediately ruined, or buying something that my kids refuse to wear. Moms have started asking me where I find such cute styles—if only they knew how easy it really was! Usually, I let them in on my little secret: Rockets of Awesome.
