Shopping for younger kids or toddlers might be the most fun part of your holiday shopping. Who doesn’t love those tiny shoes?! It’s no secret that kids outgrow clothing quickly, so thrifting clothing for little ones is a great way to save money. Make sure to buy a few sizes up to give them room to grow. We found these fun sparkling sneakers that are great for holiday wear and beyond.
