Who said sample sales were just for fashionistas? Starting Tuesday, November 10 and continuing through Thursday, November 12, Clothingline is hosting a kids wear sample sale in Midtown West. Stock up on merch from Jacadi, Crewcuts, Rachel Riley and Imps & Elfs at super-cheap prices (we hear that goodies from Jacadi will be 65% off). You can bring the brood, but keep in mind that strollers are prohibited. Also, dressing rooms won’t be available, so you’ll have to eyeball your purchases. Of course if the items end up being too large, you can always use them next year! 261 W 36th St between Seventh and Eighth Ave, 2nd floor (clothingline.com). Subway: A, C, E, 1, 2, 3 to 34th St–Penn Station.

Sometimes procrastination pays off! If you haven’t yet bought your tyke a Halloween costume, head to Ricky’s Soho location (590 Broadway between Houston and Prices Sts) between noon and 2pm today for a chance to snag store gift cards courtesy of Jamba Juice. As part of the company’s “Feel Good Campaign,” Bananaman will be surprising 350 shoppers with $30 gift cards to Ricky’s as well as Jamba Bucks (which range from $1 off Jamba products to $10,000 in cash). Budget issue solved; fighting for the last Spider-man costume is another problem entirely.

Thomas, the cherubic choo-choo all kids dream of befriending, and his locomotive pals are stopping at the Beacon Theatre from Fri Apr 17 - Sun Apr 19. Get $5 selected performances by clicking here. Better act soon before this train leaves the station!

It’s not like kids need an excuse to dress up, but Purim is just around the corner. In honor of the Jewish holiday (dubbed the “Jewish Halloween” by some), Ricky’s is offering 50% off all of its kids’ costumes. Grab something for one of the many Purim fests happening about town, or for the “Nordic Halloween” celebration Fastelavn, which is also this weekend, or just stock up for next October 31.

You can’t hear the name “Dora” without starting to sing, “Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Dora!” can you? The power of Dora is difficult to deny, which is why you should buy your tickets to the live Radio City Music Hall stage spectacle, which is in town between April 8-12. If you order now, you can save $5 (hey, two and a half subway rides!) off select performances. Just click here and use the code WEBDORA.
