Online baby clothes boutique

New parents, grandparents, and gift buyers shopping for baby showers and birthdays.

You buy at wholesale and sell at retail price, and the difference covers costs and profit. Gift sets and bundles can raise the order value.

• Spotting styles parents want
• Basic product photography and listing writing
• Organizing stock and shipping
• Customer service

• Children's clothing must meet US safety rules (flammability, drawstrings, small parts, tracking labels); check CPSC requirements and ask suppliers for compliance documents
• Sales tax rules for online sellers differ by state, so check your state's rules
• Unsold sizes and seasonal stock can tie up cash, so start with small orders
• Check HOA or lease rules if you store stock at home

Startup costs are typically around $1,000 to $5,000, depending on how much stock you order, your website setup and your packing supplies. Starting with small orders helps limit risk. These are estimates only.

Monthly revenue is typically around $500 to $4,000, depending on your style niche, stock choices and marketing. This is revenue, not profit, and it is an estimate. You would typically need at least about 8 hours a week.

Check US children's clothing safety rules, including flammability, drawstrings, small parts and tracking labels, through CPSC requirements. Ask suppliers for compliance documents. Also check your state's sales tax rules for online sellers.
