I know there are Moms here who shop at Gymboree for their kids and like their clothing! Some of us are a little more addicted than others. :awink:

Come chat about all things Gymboree! :)

I'll get it started....

What is currently your favorite line or outfit?
What sizes are you buying for your kids now?
Do you buy ahead for upcoming seasons?
Do you resell outgrown stuff, donate it, or hand it down?
How many stores do you have near you?
Do you ever shop off the website?

Here is a link to our buy/sell/trade thread:

http://www.onceuponalife.com/forums/showthread.php?p=374031#post374031

What is currently your favorite line or outfit? I always love their Valentine's Day lines! I also liked the Apres Ski stuff, and the new Dandelion line is kinda cute, except for the barf-green stuff.
What sizes are you buying for your kids now? Caroline is wearing *4* now - 3 shirts still fit, but 3 pants are too short.
Do you buy ahead for upcoming seasons? Not usually. I just can't estimate that far ahead what size she will need.
Do you resell outgrown stuff, donate it, or hand it down? All of the above. I've donated a few pieces, given some in swaps here, or handed it down to friends.
How many stores do you have near you? Just 1, and it's a good 45 minutes away.
Do you ever shop off the website? No - it's cheaper to pay the gas to drive to the store than it is to pay the shipping!

Unfortunately I think our Gymbo days might be coming to an end because now that Caroline is in school and not attending Gymboree classes anymore, we don't get any coupons!

Oh Anne, I am going to teach you to "work" the sales! :aok: Before I started working there, I never bought at full price, always on sale, baby! And good sales too! Make sure you register at the website, they'll send you the "circle of friends" email. If not, I am always good for circle of friends cards! :nod:

Another fan here, but not a total addict... yet! :lol: My daughter's daycare teacher has a 2nd job at Gymboree so we get notice of all the sales and lots of coupons. :)

What is currently your favorite line or outfit? Tiger Love! I've got quite a few items too. :love2:
What sizes are you buying for your kids now? Alexis is wearing 3 in pants and 3 or 4 in tops.
Benjamin is in 18-24 mo, probably heading for a 2T. I've noticed their pj's run small, but don't everyones?

Do you buy ahead for upcoming seasons? No, I wait for the good sales and I can't guesstimate size either.

Do you resell outgrown stuff, donate it, or hand it down? I may have donated some via swap here, but otherwise everything I have is packed away. I've got some cute sets that are like new too.

How many stores do you have near you? 3 :rahrah:
one is 5 minutes from work (I shop at lunch) -
one is 5 minutes from home and
one is in between work and home

Do you ever shop off the website? I don't think I have. I like to see stuff in person.

i'm a gymbo virgin :blush1: i just got into it last month but i'm learning pretty fast :lol:

btw: the sale is 25% off right now


What is currently your favorite line or outfit?
i bought some AS and BF for gianna....i think they're both really cute. (do we need a line abbreviation list? :lol: ). i have a gift card that i have to use for tony but i'm not thrilled with the boys lines :(

What sizes are you buying for your kids now?
i'm buying 6-12 for spring and 12-18 for summer.

Do you buy ahead for upcoming seasons?
i bought a few things in 18m for next winter. not sure if it'll be the right size so i'm not going nuts

Do you resell outgrown stuff, donate it, or hand it down?
i plan to sell it! i had no idea that you could get good $$ for gymbo!

How many stores do you have near you?
5! the farthest being about 45 mins from me.

Do you ever shop off the website?
not yet. i want the DW navy frog tee in short sleeves and we don't have them in our store but the salesgirl said she'd order it for me when i wanted it :biggrin: (of course i knew this trick from reading the gymbo boards)

What is currently your favorite line or outfit? My favorite line in Baby girl right now is "grown with love" and for layette it is "sock monkey and friends (zebra.) My favorite winter outfit for Avery right now is actually from last year's "Sweet cupcake" the swing and leggings. I had Shannon make custom bows for it and Avery wears it once a week. I love the colors. For Sabrina, I actually love the "Garden Friends" jumper and sweater combo...she wore it for her 6 month pictures. :)

What sizes are you buying for your kids now? Avery can wear a 2T, 3T and a few 3's. Most of the 3's are way to big on her for shirts and dresses, but leggings and elasticized skirts fit okay.
Sabrina can wear 9-12 in layette, but I've been buying 12-18 months and it's running so big on her. She can still wear 6-12 in baby girl too.
Do you buy ahead for upcoming seasons? No. I've bought a few things, but my kids have grown so differently from how I thought they would (Avery slower, Sabrina faster) that it makes no sense.
Do you resell outgrown stuff, donate it, or hand it down?I've sold some stuff on the boards and ebayed the rest. Sabrina will get some of Avery's outfits too.
How many stores do you have near you? 3, all within a 20 minute drive.
Do you ever shop off the website?Yes, only for things I can't get at my store. Like I wanted to get short sleeved shirts for the Dandelion Wishes line, and only the hot weather stores got them, so I had to order online. I usually wait and order enough stuff to qualify for free shipping.

How many stores do you have near you? 3
one is 5 minutes from work (I shop at lunch) -
one is 5 minutes from home and
one is in between work and home
I just checked the online store locator. I actually have 10 within the Philly and Suburb area. I had no idea!

Realistically I only use the 3 above and maybe I'd use one more in a pinch. :)

I also never buy much at a time - maybe 2 shirts/pants at the most. I'm always just FLOORED at the people I see stacking the counter high and spending $300+! I don't like the stuff THAT much! :lol: I had a ton of 40% off coupons from Caroline's aborted Gymboree 2nd birthday party, but those expired on 12/31. Now that she's in school I cringe at the idea of her getting paint all over something.

Colleen, I have some Sweet Cupcake stuff in 3T if you are interested (the overalls and striped turtleneck bodysuit).

What is currently your favorite line or outfit? I was a sucker for the Cherries line. I own everything in it :blush: I also love the Bon Voyage line, City Sidewalk, Fox Trot, and I want to get my hands on this specifi dress from the Hide n Seek line:
http://www.gymbohaven.com/newaug72.jpg
What sizes are you buying for your kids now? Norah is now on the verge of outgrowing her 6-12 month stuff, but the 12-18 is just an oomph to large yet (i give her 2 weeks!)
Do you buy ahead for upcoming seasons? Yes, when its a good deal I do!!
Do you resell outgrown stuff, donate it, or hand it down? Absolutely. I resell it or swap it. I dont think I've donated any b/c I know the value of it :lol:
How many stores do you have near you? Four! I think they are all Tier 2.
Do you ever shop off the website? No way....shipping sucks.

I am fortunate enough to have a friend who is Gymbo obsessed (with a wallet to allow it) and she sells me her daughter's hand-me-downs, half of which are still NWT because she buys so damn many things!

Karri, I have a Cherries hat and sundress that Caroline's not going to get into... It's not NWT, but excellent condition.

I also never buy much at a time - maybe 2 shirts/pants at the most. I'm always just FLOORED at the people I see stacking the counter high and spending $300+! I don't like the stuff THAT much! :lol: I had a ton of 40% off coupons from Caroline's aborted Gymboree 2nd birthday party, but those expired on 12/31. Now that she's in school I cringe at the idea of her getting paint all over something.

40% off from the borthday parties? Wow! We get a 40% employee disount, so that's a great perk! :eek: :aok:

Colleen, I have some Sweet Cupcake stuff in 3T if you are interested (the overalls and striped turtleneck bodysuit).

Awww...nuts! I'd be all over them except Avery hates wearing overalls. :( Thanks anyway!

I definately belong here :blush:

What is currently your favorite line or outfit? Right now my favourite line is Tiger Love and Grown with Love. My favourite outfit we have is The Jardin Francais overalls and stripped top. I just bought her the Apres Ski jeans and turtle neck at it is adorable as well but I prefer A-line tops.

What sizes are you buying for your kids now? Emma is in 12-18 months right now. I think she will be moving into 18-24 tops soon but will be in 12-18 pants for awhile.
Do you buy ahead ever? Occasional I buy ahead but I am still uncertain of what size to buy ahead.
Do you resell outgrown stuff, donate it, or hand it down?Even thoughI have sold some of her other brand clothes, I can't seem to get rid of her gymbo one so they are all in a storage container. I will probably go through them again soon to see if I can part with some if not I will save them until I know if we have another girl before parting with them
How many stores do you have near you? 3 all within 30 minutes but all our stores are Tier 3 :(
Do you ever shop off the website?No, I would get killed with not only shipping but duties even though our exchange rate is pretty good right now. Plus I like to see them in person.

ETA: I only buy on sale too. They have so many sales that I can't justify buying anything full price. I went after Christmas and bought her City sidewalk polkadot dress, AS pants and top and Tiger love shirt and top all on sale. :)

What is currently your favorite line or outfit? [color=indigo]Tiger Love! I've got quite a few items too. :love2:


Lette, I love Tiger love! My girls have it on in my siggie pic...red is my favorite color! :)

They are both wearing these:

This is the tiger love outfit I bought her. :) I love putting her in red.

Here is Sabrina's 3 month picture. She wearing "Strawberry Patch." I found it on the clearance rack (someone must have returned it) and I snapped it up for a great deal!

Here is Avery's 2 year photo. She is wearing "Copa Cabana." This was only available online at and Tier 1 stores. Someone returned the skirt to my store...I saw it and fell in love with it. :lol: A week later, my IL's drove to Cincinnatti, where they have a Tier 1 Gymbo. MIL trafficked back the matching shirt, socks, and hair pretties for me. Now when she travels she always asks if I need to her "traffic" back anything. :crazy: :lol:

Do you know of any online sites that list ALL of Gymboree's lines from the past.

I've got some really cute stuff from 2002, but I can't remember their names. :crazy:

Sunflowers - October 2004

What is currently your favorite line or outfit?I don't think I really have a favorite. I like a lot of their stuff
What sizes are you buying for your kids now? Emma is pretty comfortable at a 3 in the tops (actually a little big 2's are great) and 3 in pants for length but really way too big around (I either take them in or I put a safety pin in the back.
Do you buy ahead for upcoming seasons?Yes I do because I only buy on sale. I NEVER pay full price for the stuff ever.
Do you resell outgrown stuff, donate it, or hand it down? Hand it down to friends and family
How many stores do you have near you? I have 3 stores and 1 outlet
Do you ever shop off the website? Nope

I do have to say that I shopped at the outlet today for spring and summer. I got Eoin 3 t-shirts, 2 one piece short outfits and Emma got 1 skort, 1 pair of leggings, and a sweater for less than $60. None of it of course if from the newer lines but hey it works for me. I can't even find t-shirts at target for $3 and 4 like these were. I may go back tonight and stock up on leggings for Emma.

If there is ever something in particular you are looking for that has been out for a while, let me know and I can always take a look at the outlet for you.

karri i have seen that hns dress at one of my gymbos on clearance, i'm going to the mall tomorrow and i'll check that. what size are you looking for ?

I love Gymboree, and I have only boys. I can only imagine how bad I would be if I had girls :)

What is currently your favorite line or outfit? Right now, I am still loving the Red Baron line. I have the red sweater and the jeans with the turned up cuff, and I love to match both boys. I figure soon enough Jordan is going to get opinionated and not want to match :lol: Oh, and I really like the boys layette stuff. I have a hard time not buying it all up :)
What sizes are you buying for your kids now? I am buying size 3 for Jordan and size 12-18 or 18-24 for Blake.
Do you buy ahead for upcoming seasons? I do buy ahead, I had spending too much on their clothes and this way I can buy more. I just found a store really close to me that had a bunch of summer stuff shipped in and got shorts and shirts for the boys dirt cheap.
Do you resell outgrown stuff, donate it, or hand it down? I have a ton of stuff that needs to be sold, I just need the time and organization to do it now :)
How many stores do you have near you? I have found 2 stores that are pretty close to me, I know of one other, but its on 'the strip' and I hate the traffic around there.
Do you ever shop off the website? I don't do many orders on the website as I hate to pay the shipping, but I have if I needed, more like wanted something bad enough. I do alot of browsing and planning there though.

Anyone ready for Gymbuck redemption? What are you planning on buying?

there's a gymbo on the strip? :lol: i find that hilarious.

Just needed to subscribe here. Can't post pics now but I've gone Gymboree crazy lately.

What is currently your favorite line or outfit? I really like the bubble gum line, the only ones I don't love are the ones that use too many 70's colors/
What sizes are you buying for your kids now? 18-24 or 2T for Maggie and I have bought a few onsies for baby Will in 0-3 or 3-6
Do you buy ahead for upcoming seasons? Yes if it on sale at a great price
Do you resell outgrown stuff, donate it, or hand it down? Right now I have kept most of it, hoping I have another girl, but I am sure if my sister gets pregnant she will get some and I will probably resell too
How many stores do you have near you? Zero!!! The closest gymboree is 2 1/2 hrs away!!! So needless to say most of our stuff comes from the online store. I only get to the "real" store a few times a year!
Do you ever shop off the website? Yep, even though the shipping is high, this is about the only way me and my mom can get gymbo stuff :(

What is currently your favorite line or outfit? I bought a ton of the Jack's Garage line. I loved the jackets with Sparky's Garage on the back. Also, I bought the boys X-Mas outfits from Prim and Proper.
What sizes are you buying for your kids now? 12-18months for Alex and 2T-3T for Cameron.
Do you buy ahead for upcoming seasons? When I find a great deal I do.
Do you resell outgrown stuff, donate it, or hand it down? I sold some stuff, but I am storing the rest for hand me downs...
How many stores do you have near you? I have five that I go to.
Do you ever shop off the website? No, that would mean a package would come in and my DH would know what I spent :lol:

What is currently your favorite line or outfit? I bought a ton of the Jack's Garage line. I loved the jackets with Sparky's Garage on the back.
We have that jacket and a few other matching items! :) I forgot about poor Ben's stuff. The girls collections are so cute!

Really, Kim? That would be cool! Um, I am thinking for fall or winter, so 2T (egads!)

I forget about the boys lines. I rarely buy boy stuff b/c I just cant seem to find good deals on the boy stuff!!! I do like Jack's Garage, Dig Dig Dig, and some of the Surf School stuff (i managed to get some matching stuff for Elliott & Aidan...very cute).

kate and i will be hitting a gymbo tomorrow karri :lol: i'll keep my eyes peeled for it :biggrin: i know i saw one but since i've been to all them of them recently i can't remember which store!

Thanks, Kim!

I just found some more pictures:

Karri, the green dress is from Garden Dreams (layette). One of the pictures I posted was from the same line. I almost bought that dress. Also, I LOVE the tick tock ticking dress. How did i miss that one? :lol:

I found another one:

The Dress that started my Gymboree madness:
Home on The Range:

I am complete ADDICT!!! I can't resist shopping there all the time!! We take two gymboree classes a week also. I have $100 in gymbucks to use next week and I CAN"T WAIT!!!!

What is currently your favorite line or outfit? I love the new frog line.. I saw the other day but am waiting to use my Gymbucks next week!! Lauren has some the gumball stuff now which I love and some of the ski stuff.

What sizes are you buying for your kids now?Lauren is wearing 18-24 months.

Do you buy ahead for upcoming seasons?no.. I am too impatient and want her to wear it NOW. Plus, I'm always bad at judging ahead.
Do you resell outgrown stuff, donate it, or hand it down? I usually keep it in case I have another girl.. if she has worn it and I didn't care for it I will usually sell it

How many stores do you have near you? TWO, which according to my DH is TWO too many!

Do you ever shop off the website?YES!! Especially in the summer when I live in Ireland.. they deliver to me there!!!!:blush:

I do have one Gymboree outfit that I've never been able to identify, even from the Gymbohaven website - Caroline wore it for her first Easter (2002) at the ILs, so she was about 4-5 months old. I distinctly remember buying it from the clearance rack at the time. It's a black one-piece short sleeve suit, white collar, with tiny red, white and pink flowers all over and red smocking on the chest. It was absolutely my favorite of her outfits from the "little baby" stage because it's so unusual to find BLACK, of all colors, for a baby. Unfortunately I don't have any digital pics of it, so I'd have to take a picture of the picture to even show you....

I'm just a sideline Gymboree fan - I love the girl stuff, but I haven't been overly impressed with the boy stuff I've seen. However, I have just learned from this thread about the Tiers and apparently the stores on my area aren't even on the list. I'm guessing that's why I've been underwhelmed by the selection. ;) (If I'm understanding correctly - the higher the tier, the nicer the selection, no?)

Anyway, I have owned only 2 Gymboree outfits, and both were gifts.

Gavin wore this all of maybe 3 times, tops. Dang kid grows too fast! :lol: It's a really snuggly fleece. Just looked it up, and it's from Walk in the Woods line.

I have just a couple of pieces:

http://www.gymbohaven.com/AzaleaL1.jpg

2000 Azalea. We have just the shirt matched up with a pair of leggings from a 2002 line I haven't figured out yet. I also have a top and pair of leggings from the Snow Angels line. And lastly, Colleen bought her goddaughter Alexis 3 pieces from the princess layette.

I could do some serious damage........

I love that outfit! I'm a sucker for navy because it looks so pretty on Avery! :)

And we can hit Gymbo when you come home.... :awink: I can lead you down that path of addiction! :lol:

Nichole,

I got this explanation from the Gymbohaven site, mostly because it was easier than typing it out myself. :lol:

QUESTION:

What is a Tier?



ANSWER

Gymboree has set up their stores so that each one has a level of inventory that it will receive. Their level or TIER is based on their sales and store capacity.

Tier 1 receives everything, Tier 2 receives the almost same minus a handful of specialty tier 1 items, Tier 3 receives a smaller amount and the lowest of them all is a Tier 4 (I haven't seen too many of these).

The 'look book' that comes out with the new lines is color coded - Black is what we all get, then there's orange, purple and blue. It tells you on the bottom of the page what each color represents - Example: what tier 3 is getting is black and orange . Most of the sales woman can tell you what their store will receive from that information.

Sometimes a warehouse shipping error will result in a store receiving something it shouldn't (tier 1 merchandise) but no one complains when that happens :)

Then we also have the online store only items too. To find out what you store is - Call or ask the next time you go in. They are more than happy to tell you. Most stores say - go ahead and complain to corporate if its too low a tier - this helps them know that there's a demand for a larger tier in a particular area.

So, there will be whole lines that will only be Tier 1 and online. Then there will be pieces that are Tier 1 and online, or Tier 1 and 2 and online, or even Tier 1, 2 and 3 and online.

If you go into a store looking for something and they don't carry it, you can always ask the Sales Associate to do call online for you. They will call the online store, and they will ship it to you for free (only when the store calls.) Usually you have to order more than one item (like, they tend to not want to ship 1 pair of socks for free....) and it helps when there is stuff not available at your stores that you want.

Also, if you call a store yourself looking for something and want it shipped to you, they will ship it to you for a flat rate of $8...whether it's one item of 15.

Sorry for monopolizing the thread with pictures :blush:

I found another! Norah in one of my favortie coats! Its an older coat, from the Holiday Cheer '01 line (we have a bunch from this line).

They also have a tier listing there too. You can also ask your local store manager. They can tell you.

Pennsylvania
Tier 1 stores

Lehigh Valley Mall


Wow, Thanks Colleen. :)

I can't believe my King of Prussia Store isn't a Tier 1

It's at one of the largest malls on the East Coast. :scratch:

Oh, so let me see if I have this straight..

The online store will carry everything and them some specialty stuff as well that you can't get in any stores, right? :scratch:

PS. I love all this information!!! Thanks!

sorry karri, no hns dress at the gymbo we hit today. i did pick up some freakin bargains though :woo: i'm not at liberty to discuss because they are a gift for someone on this board :awink:

however, i did pick this up for gianna next winter. i am pretty positive that the store is not a tier 1, yet i found this panda club outfit (from what i've read the panda was only tier 1 and online) :woo: they had 2 jumpers and one onesie and that's it. must have been returns. i got the jumper for $18 (reg. price $34) and the onsie for like $10. apparently the jumper was mismarked at 23.99 when it should have been 27.99.

http://www.gymbohaven.com/ABCGan40.jpg http://www.gymbohaven.com/ABCGan47.jpg

picked up this shirt from the sunshine daydreams line too. it was like $3 (i got biker shorts from this line last week)
http://www.gymbohaven.com/Sunshi100i.jpg


gianna's only four months yet i'm developing a huge gymbo habit :blush1: . i am dying to buy spring stuff but since we don't really get a spring here i am waiting for the prices to drop.

tony was being such a brat i was distracted and forgot i was supposed to buy a gift for a bday party next week...looks like i'll be hitting another gymbo tomorrow :lol: (somebody help me)

I adore Gymbo!! Katie has so much stuff from there--and NONE of it was bought full-price. It is ALL about the sales! I've been too sick lately to upload recent pictures, but here are some old ones. (Anne ~ Katie is wearing that Oodles of Poodles outfit today that is in one of your pictures! I found it at a local consignment store.)

What is currently your favorite line or outfit? Sweet Cupcake is a favorite...but I also really loved Lemony Fresh (I think that was the name of it...) and bought a lot of that for Katie to wear this summer.
What sizes are you buying for your kids now? I'm buying ahead and am mostly into 3/3T at this point...although I'll still buy some 2T stuff.
Do you buy ahead for upcoming seasons? Absolutely!!
Do you resell outgrown stuff, donate it, or hand it down? So far I've kept everything...but I'm thinking of selling some stuff off.
How many stores do you have near you? ONE and it is a lousy tier three store!
Do you ever shop off the website? Yes--especially when there are great sales and free shipping if you spend a certain amount.

Well, I've been a good girl lately and backed off my Gymboree fascination :) I do get Christmas and Easter dresses from there though. I'm a total sucker for accessories :blush: I've been trying to limit myself to ebay purchases so my husband won't divorce me :lol:

Sarah, Oodles of Poodles was one of my favorites in a long time! :)

If you didn't see, the Sweet Cupcake outfit on Caroline (overalls and striped turtleneck bodysuit) are 3T....I also have the pink leggings and pink turtleneck bodysuit, but I have to check if they are 2T or 3T :scratch:

i love that sff outfit, double cute! you think i can get tony in a pair of those leggings? :lol:

today in the store i kept saying 'man am i in trouble when G starts walking'...i love the dresses but won't buy them until she can walk. i am loving the gwl little skirt..or is it a skort? can't remember but totally adorable.

i swear they spritz you with an addictive drug when you walk in there :lol:

Oh, so let me see if I have this straight..

The online store will carry everything and them some specialty stuff as well that you can't get in any stores, right? :scratch:

PS. I love all this information!!! Thanks!

Online carries everything...all lines, and all pieces.

Tier Ones carry most everything. I say most because the exception would be that if there are 2 versions of a shirt...say short sleeve and long sleeve, it'll carry the sleeve "appropriate" for the season. Only the "hot" climate stores (and that seems to be Miami :lol:) managed to get short sleeves with the new Dandelion Wishes line.

But Tier Ones will get all lines and all pieces, maybe just not the varations.

i love that sff outfit, double cute! you think i can get tony in a pair of those leggings? :lol:

I'm not sure....would Tony be scarred for life from the experience? :lol:

I love the dresses too! We have only a few at this point for Sabrina. Avery has a few too. The GWL skirt has an attached diaper cover, kinda making it a skort....I was thinking of getting it for spring for Sabrina, but I am not sure.

The clothes call to you, I swear! :lol:

I would LOVE to be addicted, I just can't afford it. I do have the adorable Tea Party dress & hat Riley is wearing that Shel posted (thank you again!!) in Emily's closet waiting for this Easter.

Have to say that I adore their online clearance sales...last December I totally scored when the Sweet Cupcake line went on sale. I was able to buy 2 pairs of embroidered jeans, two turtlenecks, two cardigans and two pairs of pink patent polka dot mary janes ALL for.....$60!!! :yippee: DH was even impressed. I got one outfit in size 6-12 mos (with a green turtleneck) and size 3 shoes for Emily to wear last year, as well as the same pieces (but a pink turtle) in size 18-24 mos. Sadly, I bought the shoes in size 4, not realizing her feet would shoot out once she started walking. Now she's in 6's, and I can't find those right now...but still looking.

Sarah, I love those ice cream print pants Katie is wearing. I was able to get that same print in a sundress for Emily this past summer at OUAC for only $5!

We have 2 stores near us, but I rarely go since they are in malls I never shop. I'm betting they are Tier 2, but not for sure.

Here's Emily in her birthday pics from last year.

I can't wait to put more dresses on Emma this Spring and Summer now that she is close to walking. :) Last Summer Gymbo shortails were my favourite thing to put her in. I did buy the Spring Blossom dress last year:

http://gymbohaven.com/03Flow27.jpg

Unfortunately she only wore it once since she just started crawling and was tripping over it. :( To make matters worse, we forgot to take a picture.

This year I plan to buy her dresses and maybe matching shoes. :)

I Love the Tea Party Dress. :nod:

Kim - why no dresses???? Norah did just fine learning to crawl in dresses. Never hindered her one bit :)

Dang, Shel, you sure do like your accessories :lol: If you still have stuff you want to sell, give me a holler!

After being with Kim at Gymbo yesterday I am really thinking about TTC #3 and really hoping it is a girl.... Does that make me crazy :lol:

Kim - thanks for checking for me! Hey -- didnt Julie get Miss G an outfit from the Jardin Francais line? Or am I dreaming? Has she worn it yet?

Here are a few pics of Maggie wearing gymbo.One is from the hula girl line, I can't remember what the line of the bandana outfit is but this is one of my fave's and the other is a vintage gymboree outfit. I can't remember if I got this at a rummage sale or what.

Dang, Shel, you sure do like your accessories :lol:
Hey, with 3 boys and Riley acting like a boy, I have to at least try and dress her like a girly girl once in awhile :blush:

If anyone has ever seen a picture of my girls you know what a SERIOUS Gymbo addict I am! I am having to learn to curb it a bit since Scott is staying home but I just dropped quite a bit on the website to get some clothes for next winter, I've never bought ahead but I'm trying to save some money and still have my Gymbo! I am considering applying for a part time job at the Gymbo closest to us (30 minutes away) to get the 40% off.
My current favorite lines are SF and GC, Abby adored the Sweet Cupcake but we didn't buy ahead so she outgrew it last year, so sad!! Here are a few recent pics of the girls in their Gymbo

Hey -- didnt Julie get Miss G an outfit from the Jardin Francais line? Or am I dreaming? Has she worn it yet? yes she did...that's pretty much what started the whole obsession, thanks julie! they are size 9-12 so i expect her to wear them this spring, it's the onesie and the toile pants!

yes, i hit gymbo again today. my last trip for a while until the new line goes on sale (i promised marc :lol: )

i got some good stuff

grown with love. this is pretty much the only outfit i like from this line.

Actually.......keeping in line with the theme of the thread- Morgan's sweater was a last year Gymbo V-Day sweater. :awink: Just the jeans were Gap.

Here are a few of Morgan in Gymboree (she wears it a lot but it doesn't seem to be in any pictures......hmmm.....).....and oh yeah-I can't ever remember the names of the lines :blush:

This Christmas in a shirt I got last year on clearance:

I can't believe I just saw this! We're addicts, too. I have actually thought about working there part-time, just for the discount... :lol:

I just bought Katie two Christmas dresses for next year - the silver one with the pleats and the three bows at the waist, and the burgundy one with the rhinestone buckle at the waist. And I bought a cute velour one-piece outfit with a jester on it that says *spoiled* for a baby shower gift.

No pictures right now, but I'll try to take some tomorrow! :)

anne i bought the silver dress for next year as well. i had wanted it for this year and almost paid $40 for it! i got it last week for $11 :biggrin:

Ah, I keep remembering items we have.

I'll be happy to sell you the jacket when Ben outgrows it! :biggrin: Or maybe you'll get it in a swap later this year. :)
I'm hoping he at least can get spring out of it this year.

I'm not quite the Gymboree fanatic as some of you but I do manage to get some really good deals there. I don't know the names of any of the "lines". Here are a few pictures from Christmas, though.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v490/ktattar/Misc/A_ChristmasDress1.jpg (http://photobucket.com/albums/v490/ktattar/Misc/?)

Side view :)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v490/ktattar/Misc/A_ChristmasDress2.jpg (http://photobucket.com/albums/v490/ktattar/Misc/?)

You can't really see Isabelle's dress very well but it was the black velvet one. She also had the silver coat (that matched Allison's skirt) which my mom bought very cheap during the week of Christmas. My mom also bought Isabelle the doll that was wearing the same dress. Isabelle almost refused to wear the coat because the doll didn't have one. I don't have any pictures of the coat accessible right now.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v490/ktattar/Misc/IAChristmasDresses.jpg (http://photobucket.com/albums/v490/ktattar/Misc/?)

Oh, and I just found this one. Isabelle LOVES her zebra dress and wants to wear it ALL the time.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v490/ktattar/Isabelle/IsabelleZebra.jpg (http://photobucket.com/albums/v490/ktattar/Isabelle/?)

Love the Zebra dress!!! :love2: Lexie gets like that with her dresses. She never wants to take them off! :lol:

Okay, so when is the next big sale or best time to shop??? I NEED to get those heart shoes for Lexie!

They're having a 25% off sale that ends tomorrow Lette and then Gymbucks redemption starts after that.
Kaari~ We had the doll with the matching dress this Christmas too, Abby was a little peeved that her doll had a purse and she didn't but I reminded her that she had the stole and the doll didn't so it was even!

Thanks Nicole... Looks like I might have to head out at lunch tomorrow! :biggrin:

I am by no means a fanatic, but I just went today and they have a couple racks of 60% off, a couple 40% off, a couple 20% off and then 25% off your entire purchase :aok:

I definately belong here! I love Gymboree so much that I got a part time job there back in October. I'm only working one day a week but I love working there and have gotten some great deals. I love working there but have spent way more than I've even made so I'm trying to control myself.

What is currently your favorite line or outfit? I am in love with the Grown With Love line right now. I want to get more pieces but am restraining myself.

What sizes are you buying for your kids now? Right now I'm buying 2T and 3T for Peyton but I think she'll be able to fit into size 3 soon. For Lindsey, I'm buying 3-6 and 6-9 months.

Do you buy ahead for upcoming seasons? If I find a good deal on the rounders then I will but I don't generally buy ahead with the current lines.

Do you resell outgrown stuff, donate it, or hand it down? Lindsey will get Peyton's hand me downs and whatever Lindsey outgrows will probably go on eBay.

How many stores do you have near you? We have 2 stores that I'll drive to but we also have a Tier 1 that's not too far away.

Do you ever shop off the website? Not unless it's something that I'm dying for and we don't carry it in my store.

Peyton wearing Vacation Time ( I think that's the name of this line.)
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4ce22b3127cce9d11eb6168d600000016108Iat3DZwxaM

Question for you that are buying ahead for next year?
How are you guestimating what size they'll be?

If Lexie is wearing a 3 right now, would I guess well for a 4 next year?
Up to how long will Gymboree accept returns?

Lette, you have 6 months for returns.

you can return for up to 6 months from purchase! it's on the receipt).

i am completely guessing with gianna for next winter....she is about to bust out of her 3-6 tops right now...so i'm guessing 18-24 for next winter....i'll keep the tags on and if it's the wrong size i'll ebay it.

nocona!!!! you went to the store?! :lol: oh man i really think i'm a bad (or good?) influence on you!

I am buying 18-24 months for Spring and 2T for Fall winter. Since my little Peanut is only fitting in 12-18 now especailly in pants I think i should be OK. If in a few months it look slike I am off base I will return it or if i forget sell it on ebay.

Here is my latest purchase that I won on ebay this weekend:

From Lemony Fresh (ebay picture not working :( ):

http://gymbohaven.com/04lemo72.jpg

I am currently watching a four piece lot of Indian Summer: dress, sweater, hat and korkers. Wish me luck. :)

I love Gymboree, especially on sale. They have such cute stuff for girls. I am off to check out that sale!

So, is anyone looking to sell anything that their kids have outgrown. I love some of the older lines but I hate searching ebay and then if I do bid on something, I usually lose it. If anyone is interested in selling anything, Peyton wears a 2T-3T and Lindsey can wear a 3-6 through 6-9 months.

I have some Strawberry stuff with matchin hat and socks. I cant remember the size though. :scratch:

good idea jenn..... if we're doing ISO's i'm looking for the purple sweater from 'european holiday' in size 6-12

http://www.gymbohaven.com/04eurp60.jpg

Found some pictures. It's from Strawberry Fields
I'm guessing it's size 6 to 12 months. If anyone is interested, I'll go get it out.

not sure. i put my stroller FS in the stroller forum instead of buy/sell/trade because that's where the stroller people go. so i would assume we could post out b/s/t and iso's here since this is where the gymbo people are.

btw: have you seen the views for this thread! :lol:

btw: have you seen the views for this thread! :lol:Oh I am totally lurking here.:blush: I am such a novice (sp?) at the whole Gymbo thing but I am a sucker for a good deal and all their stuff is so cute. I just cant help myself. :nod:

Let me just say that I'm so glad our Gymboree is in the downtown mall that is PAIN to get to. Keeps me from spending lots of $$$ :lol:

I have a bunch of stuff to sell, will work on finding pics tonight.

Hide 'n Seek 3T Shirt has minor stain on front, but faded and wouldn't likely see it unless I pointed it out - and the color coordinates with the stripes even if you did see it! :biggrin: Perfectly serviceable for play clothes



Karri and Colleen can both vouch for my quality, I've sold stuff to both of them before - if there's a problem with it I'll tell you about it or not offer it for sale!

What are you asking for them?

Ohhh I love some of those outfits.

the new spring line is up....i'm not totally jazzed yet. i think it will need to be seen in person. however, i am most certainly getting this swimsuit.

http://a116.g.akamai.net/7/116/2088/infinite/www.gymboree.com/media/images/products/20050104_LOAD/1400-00540_main_3d8fd.jpg


how do infant swimsuits generally run? i'm pretty sure she'll be wearing 12-18 by the time we get to swim around here.

I love the new line, but then I love those colors on Peyton. I just can't spend anymore. I spent about $300, w/ my employee discount, back in December. I may get a few things since we're going to the beach soon and Peyton doesn't have any spring/summer stuff.

just checked the ebay items i bid on last night. look what i just won for $5.24 + ship.

bon voyage kitty pants! i love these!

http://i19.ebayimg.com/03/i/03/24/00/2d_1_b.JPG

For which part? Do you want a particular outfit, or the whole batch? :lol: Make me an offer!

What are you asking for them?

Oh, I love this. Hmmm, I may have to think about this for Lindsey. How much were you thinking Lette?
I'd say $12 plus shipping.

$4 top
$4 leggings
$4 hat and socks

They are in immaculate condition. I think my daughter wore them once for Picture People pictures. :)

I love Gymbo stuff! I swear, if Ri would have been a girl, we would totally be in the poor house! I spend enough on the boys line and they aren't nearly as cute as the little girl stuff.

Saturday I ended up going to the mall just to "browse" and ended up with a couple of the "tractors" line

And I couldn't leave without something from "The Great Bambini" We have a pug dog, that is Ri's best buddy, so I knew DH wouldn't freak at me for paying full price :lol: (of course, now it's on sale!)

Okay, question regarding Gymbucks?
I think Colleen said redemption starts tomorrow, but is it too late to acquire gymbucks today?

I think I did Gymbucks last fall, so I can't remember if it runs right up to the date, or if there is a lag of no aquirement in between. :confused: Does that make any sense? :crazy:

Also, when will the next Gymbucks program start?

Anne - I'm curious what you're asking for each piece individually... I'm trying to buy things that are fairly easily acquirable so taht I can have a matching set for my twins :blush1:

You could only acquire Gymbucks in December so that's over. Also, regarding the next Gymbucks program, they don't really tell us much ahead of time. Gymboree likes to keep that a secret for as long as possible.

lette redemption starts on the 13th i think. gymbucks earning for this redemption was in december if i recall.

Thanks Girls! That's what I thought.

I'm pretty sure it was last summer sometime.
I'll be happy to sell you the jacket when Ben outgrows it! :biggrin: Or maybe you'll get it in a swap later this year. :)
I'm hoping he at least can get spring out of it this year.
That would be awesome Lette!

Should we start a separate thread for this? :scratch:

Selling and ISO? Or is this thread okay?
Would you mind trying to keep this in the B/S/T and just putting a link in this thread?

For one thing, I think that if more people start trying to sell things, its going to make this thread more & more difficult to follow.

We can do that, Sheila! :) I can start a thread and put a link here in the first post.

Karri and Colleen can both vouch for my quality, I've sold stuff to both of them before - if there's a problem with it I'll tell you about it or not offer it for sale![/font] [/font][/color]

I've bought 2 outfits off of Anne, and they were in like new condition! :aok:

Lette, Gymbucks seem to be running 4 times a year. Employees can't earn Gymbucks :( but the last time I redeemed was in mid-July when Sunflower Fields came out (so at the start of back to school shopping.)

Plus, if you register at www.gymboree.com, they'll keep you informed of all the sales and promotions.

Okay, I still need to see this stuff in person, but I think this is what I like from the new lines... (Kim, don't you like any of the layette/newborn stuff for Gianna?)

These are from Kid girl. She can wear the KG size 3 leggings, but sometimes the necklines on the tops are too wide. But I love the green:

I might get her some of the newborn layette stuff too...the reversible cardigan and pants in the pink pig print are so cute!

colleen kid girl is just so much better than baby girl :complain:

as for layette, gianna gets sooo much pink stuff from relatives that unless i am madly in love with something i won't buy it for her :lol:. i need to see 'paper lantern' in person...i like asian prints.

Kim, the first 2 outfits I posted are from Baby Girl. Avery wears a 2T/3T, but can sometimes wear a 3. But I always have to try the 3's on, because they are usually too big.

but i want the green pants! http://www.emotipad.com/newemoticons/Bellow.gif

btw: i just read there is a code for free shipping TODAY ONLY (no minimum) it's WINTERSALE.

If you buy them in a 3, G will eventually grow into them. :lol: :awink:

I saw that code too. I forgot to check the lookbook to see if our store is getting all the s/s shirts. Ordering online today might be better than fighting to crowds tomorrow and Thursday to get the sizes I need. (Merchandise at redemption goes fast!)

btw: i just read there is a code for free shipping TODAY ONLY (no minimum) it's WINTERSALE.GREAT!

I just threw down $75 at lunch today!!

I'm off to shop!!! :bolt:

This is great because I saw some things I liked but they didn't have correct sizes! :woo:

THanks Kim!

Okay.. Is everyone online ordering now? The site is freezing up on me! It's taking several minutes to load a page! :errr:

their site sucks during big sales. always slow loading.

If anyone has any boys clothes for sale, I'd be interested.

Before I order do their clothes run big or small? Riley is right in between 3t & 4t and Morgan is right between 9 & 12 months. Should I order on the bigger or smaller side for spring?

Lisa, they only go up to a 3T, and then it's 3, 4 etc. I'd look at their size chart and go with that.

I usually tell customers to do this:

If they are tall and thin, or average and thin, use height as your guide. But if they are chunky, use weight.

I've always been safe using height.

And yes, Gymbo stuff is generously sized for the most part.

Thanks Colleen. Riley is tall and thin and Morgan is pretty well even all over. I will look through the chart.

If you dont mind me asking, how big is Sabrina and what size do you buy for her for spring?

ARRGHGHGH!! :wtf:
I just lost my whole shopping bag! :tearhair:

Lisa

Riley is 33 lbs and 38 inches and she's wearing 4. I know Caroline is wearing size 4 too.

I am glad you said that Shel. I was leaning towards the3 according to the size chart.

I just listed a bunch of stuff in the For Sale/Trade forum

If you dont mind me asking, how big is Sabrina and what size do you buy for her for spring?

I'm buying her 12-18. At her last appointment, she was 90th for height at 75th for weight. She was 29" and when we went to the ER in December she was 18 lbs.

The 12-18 month stuff is a little big. She fits well in baby girl 6-12 month stuff and layette 9-12, but I want grow room.

Exactly! Caroline is 39 inches tall and 35 pounds, and 4s are just a *hair* too long in sleeves and pants, but 3s are too short.

Riley is 33 lbs and 38 inches and she's wearing 4. I know Caroline is wearing size 4 too.

Wow! Lexie must be really short! She's only a hair above 36" and just now wearing a 3.

PS. I finally finished my order online. Total $123.67 ... no need for free shipping code. :blush:

I got Ben the cutest Shark Swimtrunks!! I couldn't resist!

eva i love those AS jeans! sooo cute. i am a big fan of that line and hoping to scoop some more up when it gets even cheaper (my store is still loaded with it)

lette- i'm planning on getting those trunks for tony too, he loves sharks :nod:

It is a REALLY GOOD THING I don't have a gymboree within at least 2 hours of me :lol:

Using the code from Kim, I just ordered:

From the Garden Love Line-

My total was $47 (now to tell DH when he gets home!)

Here's Francesca in Giraffe Club (playing on the floor at my office). She has the matching hat and Leah has the dress. I ordered almost all the My Pet Goldfish stuff for Francesca today.

What is currently your favorite line or outfit? I don't really have a favorite right now, the latest things I've bought was the giraffe club sweater dress for Janelle and the robot (ls and ss), pirate (the red one), and bambini onepiece outfits for caid. That's what I like the best, dresses for janelle and one pieces for caid...probably cause they are too skinny for pants.

What sizes are you buying for your kids now? 6-12 for Caid and 12-18 for Janelle. Gymboree runs way big imo.

Do you buy ahead for upcoming seasons? I did...but caid hasn't grown in like 5 months (seriously, half an inch and about 6 ounces is it) so what I bought him for spring won't fit this year.

Do you resell outgrown stuff, donate it, or hand it down? All of the above. Or if it is really cute I save it for who knows what.

How many stores do you have near you? Umm, we have at least 4 stores within 20 minutes, and an outlet an hour away...within an hour there are probably 20 or so.

Do you ever shop off the website? Yea, only when I'm buying enough for free shipping though.

I just ordered an outfit for each girl for next fall/winter, plus a velour dress that I am hoping will work for Ashton to wear for Alexis' Christening next month in Buffalo. I am meeting Julie at the mall tomorrow and she has gymbucks to use, so we will definately be hitting the store there.....hope I don't do too much damage or Don will kill me!!!

Brandi, I have the Jack's Garage outfit (jacket, jeans, and shirt) in 3-6 months and 2T. Let me know if you want them!

I am a Gymboree newbie!! I love the new lines and hope to get Brenna some this spring. She has one dress that she got when she was born (a pink knit with a bunny on it) that she will wear for Easter.


~Kerrie

I'm not sure if I have any pictures of my kids in gymboree...I'd have to look. The tier thing is kind of strange...I've never noticed anything online that wasn't at our store...

So do you guys get into janie and jack too?

Oh Janie and Jack.. I LOVE that store and visit frequently!!!

I ordered my $100 and got free shipping last night.. mostly the grown with love line.. I love that line.. I will post some of my fav's later.. its bath time!! Now tomorrow I have to go spend my gymbucks.. I have 4 of them.. I can' wait!!! I am getting mostly the Wildflower line tomorrow!!! I usually stock up at Gymbuck time!!:thumbsup:

Anne, come to Pennsylvania!

I've got 2 new stores within 15 minutes of me. :crazy:

Now back to our regularly scheduled Gymboree topic. :)

No Janie and Jack here. Emma des have one sweater from there ordered online. I like looking at there clothes but i always wait too late for sales and the only clothes left are in size 0-3 M by the time the sales come along. :(

Sorry :blush: I didn't have chance to give my answer earlier. Now we really can go back to the Gymboree topic. :lol:

There's not a Janie & Jack within two states of me, so I've never seen their stuff! :dunno:Tyson's Corner, VA has Janie and Jack.

Aiden's coming home outfit was from Gymboree's "Spring is in the air" line. I love their stuff when it has airplanes or space themes. Their line that had all the coats, argyle sweaters and such for little boys had my husband soooooo close to buying DS a suit. I go in there, but I admit, some boys things are just not as cute as the girls. :(

You all have gotten to me. I couldnt take it any longer, I had to go shop. I didnt buy much but it cured my urge for a bit. :)

I got these for Riley:

Plus the matching pants.

Well, I called my store last night and they were in the process of unpacking 41 boxes! :eek: I figured it wasn't all going to be out and I wanted to avoid the deluge this morning and afternoon.

I'm thinking of heading out now to go. Gotta get the good stuff before people snap it up! :lol:

Did anyone buy anything today?

i don't have any gymbucks so i'm not buying until the next big sale :biggrin:

after lurking on another site i have changed my mind about one or two items in wff and now i might even buy a dress :eek:

i saw a few pics of babies in this and now i just might 'need' it :lol: (it appears less neon in the irl pics i saw) however at $32 full price i'm definately waiting.

http://www.namethatline.net/wildflowerfields_files/image257.jpg

Kim, dresses usually sit around for a while, especially sleeveless ones that debut in the winter. :lol: I think it'll be around for a bit.

That one is super sweet! I can't wait to see it in person. I'm working tomorrow night so I am just going to head to work a little early to shop then. I also have a few returns that are in Sabrina's closet, and I didn't want to tempt fate and go in there to get them. So, I nixed my trip tonight.

My store by work was unpacking loads of boxes this week too. The 2 girls in there were just oooh and ahhhing everything as they unpacked them. :lol:

I screwed up and didn't get gymbucks this time, so I'm going to wait too.
I did get an email that my online order of $123 shipped yesterday!!! I just hope it doesn't all arrive today in the torrential downpours! :errr:

Does anyone have the Jack's garage jumpsuit thing? Overalls I guess it was.

I love Gymboree and buy some for Parker. Personally, I like the girl lines so much better. Now I just need to have a girl :)

The pictures you guys are posting are SO SWEET :) Keep posting :)

lette - i got my 'save the sale' order shipped and the box was in a plastic bag cuz it was raining :aok:. speaking of which, all i had was one pair of leggings and they put it in a box! talk about $$ wasting on their part!

I've got to work tonight and I hope they already have all the boxes unpacked. I hate unpacking boxes and putting up inventory. I hope I can make it out of work tonight without spending a ton.

I love Gymboree and I usually only buy on sale or off of ebay so older lines but I was looking for some hair ribbon's or bows to match the outfit I got from Anne (well will be getting) I know that it has a hat but sometimes Alyssa won't wear them so I thought I would look for some bows. LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!!!!!!!

Anyone know what the difference is between an alligator clip and a french clip? :crazy:

I do..since I buy them all the time. For slipery hair I would go with an alligator clip..but Alyssa does fine with a french clip as well..and her hair is rather fine! Let me see if I can find a picture!

jayne, funny you should bring up bows because i was just sitting here looking for bowbands to match gianna's gymbo outfits. (again, somebody help me i'm spiraling into gymbo induced psychosis)

there are links to m2m (made to match) items on gymbohaven http://www.gymbohaven.com/Handmade.html or you can search ebay for m2m bows .

Thanks Jayne...

Sorry I couldn't find better pictures

Jayne!!! THANKS!!!! You've been a BIG help! :hug99:

I am a HUGE Gymbo fan!! Have been since my son was born in '96. I used to work for them part time many moons ago!!

My son no longer fits in their lines :( but my daughter still does and I have nieces and nephews!!

I don't have pics here to post, but I will at home! My favorite recent line was the Sunflower one :)

I used to pass them on to friends, but now I am going to start selling, because I ust heard my friend say that she would never spend the money on Gymbo, it's just not worth it -- it's not even cute, and here I am keeping my kids stuff all nice for her!! :firemad:

I usually buy in the store, since I have one in my mall. But will buy on E-bay if I HAVE to have something, like the shoes to go with the sunflower line :blush:

I don't think I ever bought on-line. Maybe for a gift.

lette - i got my 'save the sale' order shipped and the box was in a plastic bag cuz it was raining :aok:. speaking of which, all i had was one pair of leggings and they put it in a box! talk about $$ wasting on their part!:disbelief:

Well....tracking says my box was delivered at 12:30 today!
Of course today hubby is out making calls :rolleyes:
At least it has stopped raining!

Can't wait to get home and see my stuff! :woo:

Especially the shark swimsuit! :)

I have GOT to curb this all this shopping I've been doing! (I bought stuff at GAP and Disney during lunch too!) You girls are killing me! :lol: Now I need to go buy my bows. :biggrin:

I went a little nuts having Shannon make Korkers for some of Avery's Gymbo stuff. :lol:

Now that she has enough hair, I've been trying to buy the hair pretties that match. But the M2M bows and Korkers are so much fuller and nicer than the Gymbo ones.

I go to work tonight and get to see the new lines! :woo: (and buy a little too.... :lol: I've already re-worked what I am going to buy. :lol: )

funny, i always refer to those as 'roach clips' :rotflmao:

PS. I believe I need the french clip for Lexie's thick hair. :)

Here is Caid in his coming home outfit the day he came home. I think this was "doggy wants a bone" The blanket is gymboree too...I can't remember what line though...the girl version had hummingbirds in lavender and the boy stuff had plaid and mooses and stuff...

In their matching giraffe jammies

http://www.jocose.net/giraffe/giraffe2.jpg

Here is caid in some gymbo outfit...it's a blue onepiece with a rocket and the word "rockets" in orange, short sleeved...retro type sports team look...no clue what line, it was a gift.

http://www.jocose.net/july/july3.jpg

Janelle in umm...I think it was like jardin francaise or something like that...it was a newborn line... These are her 2 year pictures. I now wish I had bought more parts of this line...but the outlet had some last I checked so I guess I'll be buying her some for summer. I assumed she would of outgrown 12-18 by summer, but she can actually still wear her 6-12 m gymbo summer stuff...

http://www.jocose.net/2year/2year9.jpg

Caid in that same doggy wants a bone romper...just a few sizes bigger.

Do not get me started on hairbows now!!!!!!!!! Caroline's hair is thick, but slippery so I'm afraid the french clip would slide right out... :scratch:

My order came today too - Fedex no less! Gotta love free shipping.

Alyssa has baby fine hair! They work..I have used them in Sydney's hair as well (she is tiny with hardly any hair) The bows are great..Trust me!

Kim - I think some of us that get roped into these additions, just have additive personalities :lol: Strollers, Gymbo, whats next??? :lol:

Jillian - Cades newborn blanket was from Natures Wonder :)

Emma doesn't have enough hair for me to worry about hairbows yet. That is probably a good thing. :)

I didn't have gymbucks this time. :( Hopefully there will be some of this line left on there next sale.

I bought the vaction time dress today on kidswap for 6$ CND and no shipping since it is local and I will pick it up :yippee:

I love the Vacation Time line! :) Great score! :)

And don't worry, City Sidewalks (Holiday Casual) and Prim and Proper (Holiday Dressy) came out for the last round of redemption and there was still plenty of it left for all of the good sales! :)

Kim - I think some of us that get roped into these additions, just have additive personalities :lol: Strollers, Gymbo, whats next??? :lol:

well i was a big smoker and a big big (big big) drinker so i consider these things 'good' addictions...and honestly less expensive :lol:

i love vacation time too...i've watched a few auctions but haven't pulled the trigger. i love bon voyage as well.

i hate city sidewalks....i don't know why but i just don't like it. i don't like fox trot either yet everyone else seems to love it.

The little embroidered jeans in VT are to die for! Really cute with any of the tops!

I have 2 outfits from City Sidewalks....

http://www.gymbohaven.com/newhol40.jpg

http://www.gymbohaven.com/newhol80.jpg
http://www.gymbohaven.com/newhol5.jpg

And I have nothing from Fox Trot either. Didn't do much for me, it was kinda dressy for the most part, and we have limited places to wear dressy stuff.

I can get this and something for Aiden so we can match! (DH thinks I'm a dork...)
http://www.gymboree.com/shop/dept_item.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=2085425&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2499057&bmUID=1105746429671&productSizeSelected=0

well i was a big smoker and a big big (big big) drinker so i consider these things 'good' addictions...and honestly less expensive :lol:


I wonder if I could convince dh of that...all the money I used to use on cigarettes should go to gymboree...but then I'd probably have to let him use all of his money on video games or something silly.

My stuff came FedEx today too! I had laid everything on the table for DH to look at and before he got there Maggie was on top of the table wrapping herself up in her new clothes! :) I guess she loves Gymboree too!

Kim, I sold all my Bon Voyage stuff to Karri, so maybe you can get it from her when Norah outgrows it! :aok:

Vacation Time didn't do much for me, and I thought Foxtrot was boring. I would have spend a big chunk o' moola on City Sidewalks, but by the time I got to the store (it's about an hour away so we're not at that mall often) it was all picked over and hardly anything left in her size. :dunno: So the only parts I have are
http://www.gymbohaven.com/newhol32.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/newhol44.jpg

:lol: i already asked karri when she's cleaning out norah's closets :lol:

i got the bon voyage kitty pants off ebay and the blue kitty shirt off someone on a gymbo board i'm hooked on now :blush1: . i just had to have some now...i'm sure i'll buy more next spring as well.

btw: my dh thinks i'm a nutjob now (well, more of a nutjob than usual).

The store here didn't have much left of Fox Trot by the time I went. The only piece I liked was the sweater dress and the jumper but I didn't HAVE to have them KWIM.

I really liked City Sidewalks. More than I thoight i would when I saw it online. I ended up getting 4 pieces from the line:

http://gymbohaven.com/newhol7.jpg
http://gymbohaven.com/newhol29.jpg
http://gymbohaven.com/newhol67.jpg
http://www.gymbohaven.com/newhol5.jpg

I was not a fan of City Sidewalk. I didn't buy anything from that line or Fox Trot. I loved Vacation Time but only have a few from that line. I'd love to get more from Rainbow Sherbert (I think that's what it's called :scratch: )

I had to work tonight and the manager that I worked with has a daugter that is a year older than Peyton. This manager buys just about everything from every line so I asked her what she was going to do with all her spring and summer stuff from last year. She said she'd probably sell it and I asked her to sell it to me. She's got a bunch of stuff in 2T, 3T and 3 and she's going to bring it into work on Tuesday night so I can go through it and buy stuff from her!

I have to say that I wasn't as impressed with Wildflower Fields in person as I was online. There are a few pieces that I think I'm going to get but luckily I won't be spending as much as I thought I would. Paper Laterns is really cute and the blanket that goes with that line is gorgeous.

My order came Fedex today too but since we were working they are coming back Monday :banghead: Why do things like work get in the way of important stuff?

Darn! Darn! Darn Amy! :lol:

Thanks so much for starting this "support" thread! I recently became a Gymboholic. I used to think that their stuff was way overdone and overpriced and in the past I've let my Gymbucks (from Gymboree class) expire (GASP!) because I couldn't find anything I liked in the store. The Gymboree clothes started to appeal to me right around Lauryn's 2nd birthday. I bought a few sale pieces from Tip Toe Tulip. I just loved the way they mixed an matched and I was really impressed with the quality. Then, this past fall, I went totally nuts- bought a bunch of stuff online and at the store and now Lauryn's wardrobe is about 75% Gymboree. I've learned to work the system- between the sales, promos and the Gymbucks, the prices are downright reasonable!


What is currently your favorite line or outfit?
I love City Street, Mod Zebra, CAAB and I also bought a lot of Hide & Seek. Got one piece from Giraffe club. Sunflower Fields was nice too.

What sizes are you buying for your kids now? 2T or 3T/3

Do you buy ahead for upcoming seasons? I used to not buy way ahead but I've got burned to waiting to buy something only to find out they're sold out! So I think I'll be buying for the Spring.

Do you resell outgrown stuff, donate it, or hand it down? Don't know what we'll do with all her clothes from this season. I've got a friend whose daughter might get really lucky with a ton of nice hand-me-downs. Would love to sell on ebay seeing how easy these clothes sell over there- but I just don't have time to deal with selling stuff!

How many stores do you have near you?
One that is less than one mile from my house. One that is less than one mile from my office.

Do you ever shop off the website? yes! I love shopping on line!

How are you guys posting pics of the clothes? I've got some jpgs (from Gymbohaven) that I uploaded into shutterlfy but they're all cut off! :dunno:

TIA!

Here are some real pics:

Colleen,
Just wondering if you had any pictures of Avery in the korkers I made for her :) Sorry to bug you, I am just dying to see :)

O' and about bows, Jayne is a great person to go to for information :) I think she knows more than me.

Hey girls, I am wondering if anyone here who had Shannon make some korkers to match their gymbo outfits if you could post them here. I won her korker charity auction and trying to get an idea of size, colors, etc......so if you could post pics of your girls wearing them......I know you have a bunch Colleen.

Thanks!!

I don't have them matching Gymboree outfits..but I have the bows of every shape, style and well you name it..Made by shannon!

If you want pictures of them let me know..or if you have any questions. I jut love them! SHannons's Korkers are some of the best I have bought and believe me I have bought a lot! They are sized perfect and are sturdy yet still soft. I have bought some pretty stiff bows and they are bad for little one's in car seats..Just ask my three year old who hates to where her pink one's!

lyndee --you can just hotlink from gymbohaven. you dont have to upload to shutterfly first.

Kind of off topic. But I got that beautiful black longsleeved janie and jack dress from their christmas line this year (I forget what it was called) today in the store for $30! It is so beautiful, we wanted it for this year but couldn't justify $98 for 1 dress. I had to get it in 3t so she probably won't get to wear it for like 2 years, but I just love it!

DH also talked me into getting caid another robot bib today...he is more obsessed with that robot line (cutie pie) than I have been with any gymbo line. :lol:

I'm having a hard time locating the picture. But I had shannon make us korkers to match janelle's hide and seek dress....I wish I knew where I posted the picture...

found it...

Colleen,
Just wondering if you had any pictures of Avery in the korkers I made for her :) Sorry to bug you, I am just dying to see :)

Do you know how hard it is to get Avery to pose nicely for a picture these days? :lol:

I've got a few...like 2. I'm working on the rest. :lol:

Okay, these were made by Shannon of "Little Prince Parker."

These match the "Sweet Cupcake" line. She did the pink, dark pink and green, and these have maybe 15 cuts to them?

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5df29b3127cce9e576c527b7600000016109EbsmTJq0s

These were made to match the "Folk Song" line. The outfit is courtesy of Anne and Caroline. :awink: She did light and dark purple ribbon, and it is the same size as the sweet cupcake one.

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5df37b3127cce9e2c0ff8c5b500000016109EbsmTJq0s

Shanna, I can't see the picture!

Lyndee, Lauryn is absolutely beautiful and I just love her hair!! :love:

I scored big at Gymboree on Friday night. I was there using the Gymbucks that my mom gave me and then another couple were at the store and they couldn't find anything they wanted to buy so they gave me their Gymbucks! What luck!! Oh, and I made a few eBay purchases this weekend. Marc is going to kill me! :lol:

i made another ebay purchase last night too kaari :blush1: i'm not telling my marc :lol:...talk about luck! free gymbucks! :banana:

miss G in bubble fun. i love her in this orange.

I love Gymbo stuff but just can't justify the cost right now since DH has been laid off since the end of November. I am living vicariously through you girls right now! I browsed this weekend and just love the Tiger Love line. And the Grown with Love. (I think that's what its called.. the one with the veggies etc)

Miss G looks so cute in that outfit! Peyton has the same one. :) I loved Bubble Fun and Apres Ski. I've got a ton from the Apres Ski line. :thumbsup:

Everyone seems to be the opposite of me, I hated apres ski and bubble fun (and sweet cupcake, and tiger love...etc), but I LOVED fox trot.

:lol: I've been trying like crazy, but can't figure out how to cut and paste pictures of the things Katie got this weekend, so I'm just going to say what they are. Chances are, you all don't need a picture, anyway. :lol:

She got:
~ Grown With Love rainboots
~ Giraffe Club sweater dress
~ Giraffe club pink striped leggings
~ Giraffe Club brown and pink sweater (the one with the bow on it)

We were also going to get the new Dropped Waist Bow Dress from the Dandelion Wishes collection, but we're going to wait until it goes on sale, or at least until we can earn a Gymbuck. She also got a bunch of stuff at Baby Gap this weekend - Grandma was in town... :lol:

Kaari is just buttering me up because she wants me to send her one of Leah's Gymbo dresses from last summer - one that she happened to buy for her. :lol: That has to be the best Gymbo score of this thread!

Shanna~ That outfit is too cute!!!

Anne~ I love it when Grandma is in town for shopping! :lol:

how cute is she :love1:

i LOVE that outfit but i'm too cheap to buy it at the current price :lol: the jeans are just the cutest thing.

Amy, I love that Walk in the Woods one! :biggrin:

Amy, I love that Walk in the Woods one! :biggrin:

Thanks, but it may have to go back or I am going to try to sell it....Alexis just turned 3 months and is already 16 lbs!!! :faint: The max weight on it is 17 lbs. Darn, darn darn....I really liked it too, but since she is short and chubby, I don't think I could realistically squeeze her in it. Darn, darn, DARN!!!

Thanks guys! My mom wanted some pictures, so I have some of Katie in her new outfits to share. We had a little modeling session this morning. :lol:

Love the look on Katie's face in the 2nd pic!!!

i LOVE that outfit but i'm too cheap to buy it at the current price :lol: the jeans are just the cutest thing.

anne , what a score :aok:
Gianna can have them when Francesca is done with them. At her current weight gain, that should be about a month. :lol: BTW, I thought the jeans were cheap?!

shanna i just can't bring myself to pay $20 for jeans for a 4 month old.... i'm cheap, not the jeans :lol:

I met my manager from Gymboree at work tonight because she had a ton of 2T, 3T and 3 to sell and I ended up buying all of it. I got a ton of stuff but spent too much. At least Peyton is outfitted for the summer and I got some good deals. Here is some of what I got....

Whew! That's it! I think Peyton is pretty set for spring/summer clothes.

Holy Moly Jenn! You totally scored!

Jillian - I would love for you to look for anything summer for me. I will send you a PM with some links of different types of items and sizes. I am so envious you have an outlet near you :lol:

How can I find if there is an outlet close to me?

Lisa, there are only 2 outlets and they are in Michigan and New York.

Jenn!!! :omg: I can't imagine what you paid for all of that!!! I love the Splash stuff! We had that last year for my daughter!

omg jenn! great stuff! i especially love the LF jeans and all the SSDD stuff :woo: oh and the pineapple dress. i've been eyeing that dress on ebay and i may just cave.

Anne.... Looks like Katie loves showing off her new stuff! :)

Shanna.... Francesca is just too cute! :love2: I WISH they had the goldfish line in girls sizes! :)

Anne.... Looks like Katie loves showing off her new stuff! :)

Shanna.... Francesca is just too cute! :love2: I WISH they had the goldfish line in girls sizes! :)
Tell me about it! I was envisioning complimentary outfits for the little ladies. Leah asked me, "Whare are my fish pants?". :lol:

Jenn - I can't believe all the outfits. You will have to come back in the summer and share pictures!

Anne, Katie looks so cute modeling her Giraffe Club stuff! :)

Shanna: I love that goldfish stuff too! So cute!

Jenn: I can't believe you scored all that stuff! Wow! Looks like you'll be set for a while!

I have a question for anyone who's been to the outlets. One of my co-workers went when she was on vacation and said there was a ton of layette (0-18 months) and babyish sizes (maybe up to 24 months) but sizes above that were scattered. Is that true?

I know most of the backstock in my store that is left from last year is the smaller (under 24 month sizes.) We have a few odds and ends in sizes above that, but that's it.

Dang, Jenn, that's a haul!!!!

When you get through using it all I'll definitely be interested in taking some of it off your hands!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE SSDD, especially :)

I have a question for anyone who's been to the outlets. One of my co-workers went when she was on vacation and said there was a ton of layette (0-18 months) and babyish sizes (maybe up to 24 months) but sizes above that were scattered. Is that true?

I know most of the backstock in my store that is left from last year is the smaller (under 24 month sizes.) We have a few odds and ends in sizes above that, but that's it.


I agree...I've found some larger things (like they had a TON of every size of last year's sunflower line this fall...especially raincoats, they had hundreds of rain coats it seems) but by far the size that the outlet has the most of is preemie...you can get almost any preemi item from the last 2 or 3 years there. However I should point out that both my kids are still wearing sizes under 24 months (6-12 for caid and 12-18 for Janelle) so I've never looked that well.

Jenn!!! :omg: I can't imagine what you paid for all of that!!! I love the Splash stuff! We had that last year for my daughter!

You don't want to know. :blush: I thought my DH was going to kill me when I got home. I had to return some shoes while I was there and I even ended up buying 3 more things. I have a problem. :lol:

OMG, Jenn! That's awesome! I am SO jealous!

I live literally less than 10 minutes from the outlet in Michigan. If there is ever anything anuyone wants me to look for I can certainly do that. I am going to try to start going once a week to that mall to let the kids play and walk the mall.

We should really get together sometime...

Sabrina, if you're going soon, please let me know and I can pm you a list. I want to get some summer stuff for my Sabrina. :)

Thanks guys! She's such a clothes-horse. I've created a monster.... :lol:
Jenn, those are all so gorgeous! You all with outlets nearby are making me seriously jealous! Do you guys know if there is an outlet near the headquarters (in Dixon, CA, I think...)? My mom lives 10 minutes from there, so I might have to send her....

Also, do the outlets ever have hair things? I'd love to get hair things to go with the Victorian Charm dresses I bought for next Christmas, and also to go with the Giraffe Club stuff I just bought. Our Gymboree store is so small - they almost never have the hair stuff once the line is on sale. :(

Colleen, I'm going to try to go sometime this week. Maybe on Friday.

Jillian, yes we should. Weekdays usually work better for me though.

Anne - sometimes they do have the hair things but not very many. Let me know what you are looking for and I can take a look and see if they have any for you.

Jillian, yes we should. Weekdays usually work better for me though.



Hmm, I'll have to see, but some day we should get together at great lakes crossing. I live about an hour from the, but the il's live in Waterford, so we are there almost every weekend...


Anne, I haven't seen many hair items there...sorry.

What was that site where you could find the line of clothing again?

I have a pair of leggings that I have no idea what line they are in but would like to find something to match.

Lisa, it's www.gymbohaven.com .

www.gymbohaven.com or www.namethatline.net

the second one has bigger photos, which i like when looking for a particular print. it also has really old lines.

Lisa, there are only 2 outlets and they are in Michigan and New York.
UGH! That is so unfair! ! :lol: I think I need to take a road trip!! Anyone want to join me?

How good are the deals at the outlets?

How far back as far as lines go do they carry? I mean if I was looking for a line from spring 2002 would it even be there?

How good are the deals at the outlets?

The deals are pretty good, in general a sleeper is about $6, a pair of socks around .99, a onesie $3, and a dress between $6.99 and $10.99 depending on the style and such, somethings are less, some things more.

They have preemie sized stuff back as far as tick tock ticking...but for bigger items, they only go back like 1 or 2 seasons.

Lisa, if you are looking for something in particular, I am going tomorrow probably and I can take a look and see if it is there. I got some stuff for Emma that was actually a couple of years old. I can always look and ask if they already had it in. I have a feeling they are going to start getting some more newer stuff in soon with the sale they just ran.

So how do you know what Tier a store is?

So how do you know what Tier a store is?

Alysia~ Go to www.gymbohaven.com and look under store listing. Then you click on Washington and you can see what tiers your stores are.

2 reasons that I know I am an addict: I just got into a bidding war on Ebay over a pair of Lemony Fresh Boomers (but I WON!!! :yippee: ) I also won the top earlier so I had to have the bloomer. Also today I was watching "The Baby Story" and noticed that one of the couple's friends little girl was wearling th Hide n' seek Sweater dress. Sad. :lol:

My newest purchases:
http://gymbohaven.com/04lemo69.jpg
http://gymbohaven.com/04lemo62.jpg

I just won this auction on ebay for $10.50!!! They are both brand new with tags!!

OK all you gymbo addicts and employee's the Gymboree by my house is hiring, what do I need to know to help me get the job?

I didn't really know much about Gymboree, other than a few of the lines and that I loved the clothes, when I got hired. Just go fill out an application but don't expect to get paid much. I think the last time I made such a pitiful hourly wage was when I was in high school. :lol:

Eva~ Thanks! I have been to that website but missed that part!

I have been watching a ton of Gymbo lots on Ebay this week too but I havent been able to bid on anything yet! *sigh DH needs to find a job real SOON!!

So Lisa, if you get hired, I can come visit and use your discount, right??? :lol:

So Lisa, if you get hired, I can come visit and use your discount, right??? :lol:
Sure thing!! :lol: But I gotta get hired first.

OK all you gymbo addicts and employee's the Gymboree by my house is hiring, what do I need to know to help me get the job?

Basically, a knowledge of the clothing, a friendly attitude, and decent availability in terms of scheduling. :)

And Jenn is right...retail pays terribly.

The perks of being an employee are:

1.) the discount. You don't have to wait for stuff to go on sale, so I call it "instant gratification." :lol:

2.) First dibs on returned merchandise.

3.) anytime access to the lookbook.

It is a fun place to work, and I usually only work a shift or 2 a week. Gets me out of the house and some IRL adult conversation. :lol:

2.) First dibs on returned merchandise.



This has got to be the best perk! When we get a return and it's something you want, you can immediately grab it for yourself. I've gotten some awesome deals this way. I got the Mod Zebra dress for $7.99 on a return and it retails for $32.00.

I have one more question! So, what is the difference between the tiers? Is it the size and selection of the store? And which tier is better?

Tier 1 is the best. It has the most selection. I can't exacly say how big the difference is since all the stores in BC are Tier 3's. The only Tier 1 stores in Canada are in Ontario I believe. It is way easier for me to go down to Seattle.

I am curious also. How much difference is there between tiers. I am guessing that Tier 1 stored get all the stuff we see online. Is that correct?

Okay... what's the lookbook? :updown:

Eva~ There is a tier one in Bellevue. You need to come down and visit me and we will go!! :awink: There is one in Lynnwood too!

The lookbook is the book that has upcoming seasons lines. I think it has 3 of the next lines for baby girl and boy, kid girl and boy and the layette and sleep lines. I don't think the new one is out yet for spring.

Eva~ There is a tier one in Bellevue. You need to come down and visit me and we will go!! :awink: There is one in Lynnwood too!

I don't think the Lynnwood one is a Tier One, actually. It's pretty small. (It's where we usually go, and Bellevue always seems to have SO much more...)

Hey, would you all mind looking out for something for me? I can't find it in any stores, online or on ebay. It's the Grown With Love raincoat. I'd need a 4 or 5. If anyone happens to spot one on their travels, I'd really appreciate it if you could grab it for me! :biggrin:

Hmmm I have been to the one in Lynnwood.. The Gymbohaven site says its a tier one. I cant remember if I have been to the one in Bellevue or not. I think the Southcenter one is about the same size as the Lynnwood one.

Anne, I think my Gymboree might still have some. I think I saw some when I was working tonight. I work again on Sunday so I'll check for you.

Minor vent ahead....feel free to ignore me. :) I'm really starting to dislike Gymbucks time. Our store closed at 9pm tonight and we had customers in there until just after 9:30 and they were taking all the time in the world. Now, I understand that people want to use their Gymbucks and it can be hard to decide what to buy but, come on people, I want to go home and relax! Also, I really wish people wouldn't pull clothes out and off the racks and then just deposit them all over the store. I don't think they realize that someone has to clean up after them.

Jenn~ I know that is very frustrating. I worked retail at Target for almost 3 years. :hug99: My DH always makes fun of me because I have a habit of putting stuff back where it belongs if I see it somewhere else in the store. :lol:

Really? :dunno: The one in Bellevue is definitely bigger, but I'm definitely NOT an expert - maybe Lynnwood is just a smaller Tier One store? :dunno: It's one of those rectangular-shaped stores with a small front (kind of the look that stores like Papyrus and stores like that usually have, where they seem really small, but go deep, if that makes sense?) and the one in Bellevue has a much bigger, wider storefront (and still goes fairly deep) - more like a Victoria's Secret or an Abercrombie? Anyway, I usually shop at Lynnwood, but always like Bellevue better, because it seems bigger to me. :dunno: Ah, well. They both have adorable clothes that make me want to go on a huge spending spree and risk death at the hands of my DH, so it's really all the same thing... :lol:

Thanks Jenn! That would be great!

And :hug99: I used to work retail, too, and I remember that. We had those shoppers who wouldn't leave, and the ones who made huge messes, too, and all kinds of other irritating types. And I remember going home and having *hanger hand* for the rest of the night. (That icky metalic hanger smell you get on your hand after carrying hangers for too long...). The joys of retail. :hug99: I hope Gymbucks redemption ends soon!

I had to make an "emergency" run to Gymboree last night because we're expecting to get a snowstorm today and I just didn't want to let my 3 Gymbucks expire!

Well, I gotta say that I wasn't that enamored with the new lines :( so this was all I got for Lauryn:

http://www.gymbohaven.com/wildfl24.jpg http://www.gymbohaven.com/wildfl35.jpg

http://www.gymbohaven.com/wildfl4.jpg

I ended up using the rest of the Gymbucks for gifts.

I've been looking at the website and not much was really growing on me so I also ended up getting some NWT CAAB pieces from Ebay. I must be an ebay loser or something because contrary to everyone else, I don't really get good deals- I always get outbid so I usually just "buy it now" and usually, the total ends up more than regular price! Anyone with any tips? TIA!

I have a question for you Gymboree fans...

How, other than through registering for the classes, can you get gymbuck's? I had two from signing Amelia up for her gymrunner's class (used them this past week), but I have no idea how else to get them. :dunno:

I will really only shop in gymboree when I have gymbuck's, or when there's a major sale going on. Love the clothes, just not the pricetag!

Gymboree has a Gymbucks earning period, which was just in December this time around, and for every $50 (pretax) that you spend you earn 1 Gymbuck. So, the only other way to get them is to spend money there.

I brought my mom into Gymboree and she bought Brenna these pieces from My Pet Goldfish. I can't wait to put them on her!

That Gold fish line is adorable. it is funny that even though Emma still fits into the layette lines I rarely look at them anymore. Ii don't know what I am missing. :)

Alysia~ I should make a trip down to Seattle and we can go shopping. :) I haven't been down there a few years. I usually just go to Bellingham or down to the outlets in Burlington. Maybe it is time to make a trip down once the weather gets better. :)

Brenna is in both Newborn and Baby Girl, but I like the newborn outfilts a little better. The Paper Lantern one is gorgeous!

I went to Gymbo last night and I am pretty sure I saw the coat you were looking for. ( I was at Southcenter.) But, I couldn't remember what size you needed!!! :mad:

And last night Miss Genavieve scored a Tiger Love shirt on sale and some grey knit pants with ruffles on the bottom from the Tiget Love line too.
DH really liked the Dandelion Wishes line (the part with the frogs) but won't let me pay full price for anything there! :lol:

We got:

I'm not Jenn, but I work there too. :)

The rumor is that there will be another earnings period in February for redemption in early March. Nothing set in stone, mind you. I work again tomorrow night so I might find out more then.

Thanks Colleen!! Keep me posted! I don't venture to the mall very often! (Or at least I like to pretend I don't! :lol: )

Lyndee,

I never BIN on Ebay unless it is a piece I need to complete an outfit and it's hard to find or sold out in stores.

Usually I do a search, pull up auctions and add them to my watch list. Then I decide what is my maximum amount I want to spend for that item, and "snipe" that amount during the last 4 seconds of the auction. I manually "snipe" though. If I lose, I usually wait until another one is listed.

The easter dressy and casual lines will be out around Feb 7th, and then another spring and summer lines will be starting. With the way they are pumping out new lines, there's bound to be something for everyone. :)

Thanks Colleen!! Keep me posted! I don't venture to the mall very often! (Or at least I like to pretend I don't! :lol: )

Oh, and my guess is there will be some sort of sale coming up before the end of the month...there always seems to be a sale after redmeption. My store is packed to the gills with clothing and we need the room. My backroom is also jammed with stuff too!

Hmmm.. may have to sneak off to the mall after work or something and pretend I got stuck in traffic!! :devil:

Sign up at www.gymboree.com to be put on the mailing list. You'll get emails for all of the promotions and stuff. The best way to earn gymbucks is when they hold a % off sale during earnings. Earnings period was from November 24th-Dec24th last year and they had a % off sale going during a lot of it. So, you buy stuff on mega sale and earn gymbucks to boot. Best way to earn in my opinion.

Hmmm.. may have to sneak off to the mall after work or something and pretend I got stuck in traffic!! :devil:

:lol: Jeff just groans when I come home from work carrying a gymbo bag. :lol: My guess is they'll mark down the Giraffe Club and Tiger Club more, and also Grown with love. Dandelion Wishes is still full price, so maybe that'll go down. I think Wildflower Fields will stay full price for a bit. Just a guess.

Here is what we ended up with from Widlflower Fields: (I started buying all spring stuff starting with Dandelion Wishes.)

I also got her this swimsuit:

I tend to wait on the layette stuff, because it sits around longer than some of the bigger sized stuff. I can usually get a better deal when it's on a major markdown as opposed to my discount. Avery's sizes sell otu much faster, so that I tend to buy first.

Cute stuff! I think I might get one of the Wildflower dresses for Easter.

Probably this one:

Although if Giraffe Club gets marked down again I might go for one of those!

Brenna is in both Newborn and Baby Girl, but I like the newborn outfilts a little better. The Paper Lantern one is gorgeous!

~Kerrie


I usually end up liking the layette lines more than the baby girl lines....and since they now fit up to 18-24 months Janelle will probably be able to wear layette stuff for at least another 6 months.

I want to get Emma that dress as well. :)

I love the layette clothes but I often forget to look at them since they are usually right in the back the store in a tiny section. Emma is in12-18 months now so she will be able to wear them for awhile.

Ok ladies I tured in my application today at Gymboree, everyone keep their fingers crossed!! :crossfing

Fingers are crossed!! :crossfing

Good luck Lisa!!!!

Good luck Lisa!

Colleen, that's interesting about the Gymbucks. I worked today with the Store Manager and she said that she hadn't heard anything yet. I kind of hope that they don't do GB's again that soon. I need a break! GB time is so crazy! BTW, I found out that our store is 16th in the company!!

Jenn, that's the gossip off a big Gymbo "fan" board. I'd say most of the time it's about 90% accurate...but I never believe it until I see it for myself. :lol:

I agree...the last earnings period was so long, and we just had redemption. I found that rumor to be very surprising, so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Yea, that, but I don't do it manualy anymore, I use esnipe, it prevents me from getting in bidding wars...

:nod: Me too. I LOVE esnipe. I basically won't bid on ebay without it anymore.

I worked tonight, and can I just say that tomorrow would be a good day to shop? :awink: *hint* *hint*

hmmm... What does that little hint imply? :biggrin:
Is it worth a shopping excursion at lunch? :)

Man Colleen!! Now I need to go troll some of the gymbo boards to see whats up :lol:

Oh man!! Do I need to get stuck in traffic on the way home from work tomorrow?!?!? :lol: I wish we had more details!

Somebody needs to tell us something. I am dieing here!!!

I got a 25% off email today so I am guessing that is what her HINT HINT was all about :lol:

25% off everything including new lines now through sunday the 30th!

Jayne

yup... It's 25% off! :banana:
I think I bought everything on the last sale! :lol:

Oh, are there any free shipping coupons for today anywhere? :)
... for any $ purchase?

Yes ladies, there's an additonal 25% off everything. They just did a bunch of markdowns yesterday, so some things are dirt cheap! :) Since this is a public forum, I didn't want to post specifics, but maybe next time I can drop the info in my journal. :awink:

Lette: There's free shipping with a $100 purchase, use FREE100 for the code.

Unrelated question, sorry, how do you esnipe?

Unrelated question, sorry, how do you esnipe?


Go to esnipe.com and then just sign up for an account, it's really easy!

I just spent $100 on the website so I could get the free shipping!! :woo: Don't know what I will tell DH when the box shows up. :dunno:

I got one Bubble fun outfit, One outfit from Tiger Love, Giraffe Club Sweater Dress, 2 shirts from Dandelion Wishes, 3 pairs of pants from Dandelion Wishes, and one Grown with Love outfit for $103.

I really wanted one of the Giraffe Club striped bodysuits and pants but they didn't have them in G's size. I may have to check out the store this weekend.

:lol:

Alysia: It sounds like you did pretty well today! :)



A few pictures...Avery was uncooperative, hence the puss on her face. :lol:

We just happened to be at the mall today with MIL, so we picked up a Giraffe Club jacket and hair clips (to go with her two GC outfits - one of which she had on!), and the new pjs (cami and long pants. I don't know the name of the line). And we also got the blue and white tennis dress and matching blue and white jacket from one of the newer lines - don't know the name of that one, either. Let me go check!

Okay, I found them. I think the jammies are called Spring Blossom, and the dress and jacket are from Dandelion Wishes. I should have bought the visor. I'll have to go back and get that sometime before the sale is over. It's SO cute!

All of that is very cute, Anne!

Colleen- I have the same Grown with Love outfit for Maggie, it is so cute on your girls! :)

We went to the mall tonight and I hit JCPenneys and Gymbo. At Gymbo I got:

For Ashton:

For Alexis:
http://www.gymbohaven.com/grownw86.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/grownw73.jpg

All very cute!! I have some stuff in my "shopping bag" online just in case I can't get to the store any time before Sunday. I love the Poppy line now that I saw it in person.


~Kerrie

Amy~ Those are the same pants I got for Genavieve.

My order was shipped today! :woo: So, hopefully I will have it by the end of the week!

Alysia - I already have the green pants from that line with a fuschia top with rhinestones for Ash. Now I can mix and match a bit more.

I also got a pair of their velour leggings off the clearance rank for $5.25, but can't figure out the line. They are an ice blue color and don't match Apres Ski, so I am gonna have to search gymbohaven and see if I can find which line its from. I can always get a black or white turtleneck for Ash to wear with them.

They also have a FREE125 code.....if you spend $125 or more! :crazy:

Maybe, they're from Hide and Seek?

Amy~ This is what I could find on Gymbohaven :

http://www.gymbohaven.com/newaug80.jpg

Its from Hide and Seek like Jenn suggested. Hard to tell if they are velour from the picture though! :dunno:

amy, they are h&s :nod: i got the velour h&s leggings for gianna on clearance last month. i do put them with the apres ski doggie a-line shirt and a blue h&s turtleneck onsie. they match perfectly.

i had a gymbo crisis in disney :lol:

gianna wore her caab outfit on the trip down. it was warm when we got there so i took off the sweater and the shirt and i couldn't find it all week! i thought it got dropped or something. i was more than bummed. i love that sweater! then today while packing to come home i found them stuff in an outside pocket of marc's suitcase (which he had claimed he searched earlier :rolleyes: ) so crisis averted :lol:

i'm trying to figure out how to weasel my way to the mall tomorrow without marc knowing :lol: are gc and tl marked down yet?

Kim~ GC and TL are both 40% off.

Here's Brenna in My Pet Goldfish (I'm in a shirt from Kohl's :lol: )

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5df10b3127cce9f28ea664ffc00000016109AZNGjZk0as

Sorry it is so dark-Gary isn't that great with the camera.

We got her a couple of other things this weekend:
http://www.gymbohaven.com/poppie17.jpgand http://www.gymbohaven.com/ABGani17.jpg

Not too bad with the sale and now they have Gymbucks again. Gary feels the store is too expensive, but I think the clothes are worth it!

~Kerrie

I'm so glad you found that outfit, Kim! whew! :lol:

Whew.....crisis averted, Kim :lol:

My husband did a very dangerous thing the other day. Norah was in a Bon Voyage sweater and Chris said how much he loved that sweater and how cute the kitty was and also how great she looked in those colors. :lol: Uh oh! I quickly booted up the gymbohaven site and showed him all the other lines in those colors :lol: He looked at me with this sickened expression on his face :lol:

:lol2: karri. i love bon voyage as well. i have the light blue kitty pants and s/s top. i put them on gianna in disney. the pants are too big but wth she's lying down all the time :lol:

kerrie brenna looks adorable! i love pet goldfish :nod:

i am home today and was going to hit the mall after g's dr. appt. but marc decided to stay home too! :wtf: now it looks like i won't be going.

he doesnt need to know. just leave the bag in the car like I do :lol:

Thanks! I would just leave the bags in the car, but when the credit card bill comes in he would know.

~Kerrie

Kim, I would have freaked if I lost that sweater! Glad you found it!

Kerrie: Love the pic! :)

I was very well behaved during the 25% off sale...I only bought these few things:

For Sabrina:
http://www.gymbohaven.com/mypetg14.jpg

For Avery:

Someone bought this online and returned it. It came to like $10. A steal:

http://www.gymbohaven.com/grownw62.jpg

I bought another outfit, but I'm not sure if I'm keeping it for Avery or giving it to Amy for Ashton. :awink: So, I'll keep it's identity under wraps for now. :lol:

he doesnt need to know. just leave the bag in the car like I do :lol:I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this! :lol: I leave it in the car until Marc is in the shower or putting Isabelle to bed and then sneak out to get it. Then I take off all the price tags, throw the clothes in the wash, and get rid of all the evidence.

:lol: I do that too, only it's not usually Gymboree clothes:lol: Glad I'm not the only one.

I do it with practically everything-especially craft supplies. Now I am doing it with baby clothes!

~Kerrie

:lol: I was so psyched when I got the email this morning about Gymbucks and the 9.99 sale! I can easily spend $50 to get the Gymbucks! :lol: I told DH the last box that I ordered online was from my sister!!!! :blush:

There's a 9.99 sale? I need to go!

I am so envious of the goldfish line. I LOVE it. But I have no one to buy it for. Katie (obviously) doesn't fit into it, and my sister's babies have WAY too many things in those sizes already, so I can't justify it. :( So, all you moms of layette-sized babies, you're SO lucky! :lol:

My husband is going to kill me but I just ordered


For Janelle
http://gymbohaven.com/valent10105c.jpg http://gymbohaven.com/valent10105d.jpg

For Caid...
In 12-18 months
http://gymbohaven.com/cutiep23.jpg http://gymbohaven.com/cutiep31.jpg

In 18-24 months (we already have the robot onepiece in 6-12 :blush: )
http://gymbohaven.com/cutiep32.jpg
http://gymbohaven.com/monkey80.jpg

And just for fun...

http://gymbohaven.com/sbrssl9.jpg

I'm positive I'll be banned from gymbo till redemption...and even then I'll have to beg. :blush:

I know, I will be so so sad when my kids grow out of layette. I figure Caid has about a year left...no clue on Janelle though, the stuff I ordered her today was in 12-18months...we may actually get another 18 months-2 years in layetter for her since she grows so so slow.

I am so in trouble when dh finds out I just spent $200 on clothes for Emma. She doesn't even really need them. I got a lot from the dandelion wishes. I absolutely love that line. Thank God she is getting some money from my parents to go towards the clothes. I think I will save a couple of things for valentines and for easter. Now to find something for Eoin.

Anne, I love the Goldfish line too, and Caroline is nowhere NEAR fitting in! They need to make some of those cute patterns available across the board. :nod:

I just won a pair of blue terry cargo pants on Ebay, $9.99. No idea of the line, but I don't care, they'll go with anything. :aok:

I have some stuff in my shopping bag at Gymbo Online to get my Gymbucks but I havent hit the submit button yet. I may not be able to get the stuff. Just found out I need new brakes and tires. :mad:

THat's rough Alysia. I think I am going to wait until the next sale or when the WF line goes on sale. I don't know what size Brenna will be in this spring/summer so my best bet is to wait. But I do have a friend's baby coming in March......

I love the Layette lines. The goldfish is just too darn cute and the Poppy one is beautiful. THe outfit I just got her is so pretty and I can't wait for her to wear it (I got it in 6-9 months). She is so long that it will probably fit her soon.

~Kerrie

I am so in trouble when dh finds out I just spent $200 on clothes for Emma.

I feel better now since I only spent half that much!

:dead: Definitely can't purchase them now. Just spent $380 on 4 new tires. Oh well!

I told DH the last box that I ordered online was from my sister!!!! :rotflmao:


ok so i managed to get to gymbo :lol: and i only spent $54 (thus earning a gbuck).

i got this jacket for tony size 5
http://www.namethatline.net/spacetrooper_files/image121.jpg

this coat for G. (already have the p&p silver dress for next year) 18-24
http://www.gymbohaven.com/primpr47.jpg

these 18-24
http://www.gymbohaven.com/Bubble61.jpg

these are 6-12 to wear now

http://www.gymbohaven.com/Bubble54.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/Bubble63.jpg

and strangely, these were on the rack! EH 18-24
http://www.gymbohaven.com/04eurp53.jpg



eta: and i told marc and showed him the stuff :lol:. although i'm now in self imposed gymbo exile for awhile.

Oh, I totally want that silver coat, Kim. We have the same dress and I really, really want to get the coat, but I can't find it ANYWHERE. :( Sucks! (If anyone sees it in a size 5, please grab it for me and I'll gladly pay you for it!)

Sabrina, I love Dandelion Wishes line, too. It's so, so pretty!

I bought another outfit, but I'm not sure if I'm keeping it for Avery or giving it to Amy for Ashton. :awink: So, I'll keep it's identity under wraps for now. :lol:

Not fair!!!! I promise I won't tell her!! :silly:

this coat for G. (already have the p&p silver dress for next year) 18-24
http://www.gymbohaven.com/primpr47.jpg


I wanted to buy prim and proper stuff (the silver as well) after Christmas for Next year, but our gymbo didn't have any of it left! If by any chance G can't wear 18-24 months next Christmas let me know Kim!

Does anyone know of a site like gymbohaven for janie and jack? I'm really trying to figure out the name of the christmas line so I can try to fine accessories for Janelle's black dress on e-bay... I'll also take a pic of the dress when she wakes up in case anyone here happens to know the name of the line.

http://www.jocose.net/fm/bd.jpg

www.namethatline.net

www.namethatline.net

Thanks, it looks like the line was called Around Town.

Okay, you girls are a BAD influence:lol: I just got back from Gymboree, where my 30min lunch break, turned into an hour :blush:
I got this in 12-18 mth for Michael http://a116.g.akamai.net/7/116/2088/infinite/www.gymboree.com/media/images/products/20041115_LOAD/0811-0250_front_3afed.jpg
And the pin stripe Jacket in 3 for Jayden and 18-24mth for Michael for next year and some fleece lined overalls for Michael, and a present for a soon expected little boy here:)

did you get a gymbuck jeni? :lol:

Yes:) and now I have to hide all of this until I can sneak it inside so Mike doesn't see it:lol:Sometimes I just say "it's a swap package" :blush:

Ohhhh that is a GOOD one, Jeni! I might have to use that line sometime!

My store had bubkiss left for the $9.99 sale, which is probably a good thing. :lol: Though someone out there loves me...they seem to buy 3T's and 3's online and return them...so I scored this for Avery:

http://a116.g.akamai.net/7/116/2088/infinite/www.gymboree.com/media/images/products/20041105_LOAD/0545-0041_close_39e63.jpg

OMG - that P&P coat is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!

if you haven't seen the p&p coat in real life it is soooooo freakin thin :nod: i can't believe the full retail was like $80 something bucks.

i may have a bidding war if it doesn't fit g for xmas :lol:

colleen is that from gwl? very cute!

The P& P coat is super thin! I'd call it a "dressy" coat, not a warm coat by any means! We have some in our store (not sure of sizes) if anyone wants me to check.

Kim, yep, it is from GWL. It only went to "hot" stores (supposedly, Miami :lol: ) and online. It looks like I'll be collecting bathing suits this year. :lol:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/hilary11579/gymbooveralls.jpg

I love Gymboree stuff, but we don't have one here. I don't know why I didn't think about checking out their website. :doh:

My mom got Ava those overalls from there for Christmas. They have little bunnies on them. :)

Ok, so Colleen is the new lookbook out yet? I haven't worked in almost 2 weeks. I work this Friday and I'm hoping it's there. I really want to see what the new lines are going to look like. If no lookbook, then I'm at least hoping for a map for the new line.

Hilary, I LOVE those overalls! They are from "a walk in the woods." Ava looks so cute in them! :)

Jenn, my hope is that the Lookbook will arrive tomorrow with the mail. If not the lookbook, then the map. I work tomorrow night so I'll be waiting anxiously! :lol:

Make sure to check out the new website! They have some cool new updates! :aok:

:scratch: I don't see the Costa RIca line on the website anymore.

:scratch: I don't see the Costa RIca line on the website anymore.

Instead of looking by collection go to categories and look in family dressing.

Thanks, Jillian!

just got a look at the lookbook over on GR. i think my wallet will taking a hit this spring!
the new lines look fantastic. there is a really cute watermelon layette line!

OK I have to ask. . . . what is GR?

lisa it's gymborebel.com a board for gymbo addicts. they have all the scoop on the sales, etc.

i've also gotten a few things off their b/s/t forum. i got this sweater for $5 shipped and it is like new! (the girl was desperate to sell apparently)http://gymbohaven.com/03tuli19.jpg

Cool! You guys know all the great sites! :nod:

I got a whole Sunshine Daydreams outfit, complete with hat for $16 shipped off GR :aok:

Okay, who knows WHERE I can go to see pictures from the LookBook? :crazy:

Is it on GR, kim?

Another site for me to become addicted to! :lol:

OK where is the lookbook info? I cant find it?

Nevermind, I found it! :)

I was on one of the sites and heard there's a watermelon line! I am excited now!

~Kerrie

Our store didn't get the lookbook yet. :( I was all psyched to see it last night, so I have to wait til I work again, or if I pop into the store today to buy my holds from last night.

The colors from the one summer line so remind me of "Sunshine Daydream" from last summer. I LOVED SSD, so I am in trouble! :lol:

Don't say that Colleen!!! :lol: I'm practically addicted to SSDD.

btw it was our resident gymbo junkie colleen who turned me onto GR :lol:

:secret: Shhh...there's pics on gymbohaven from the lookbook:secret:

~Kerrie

Ok i must be stupid cause I cant find what you all are talking baout on either site? :scratch:

it's in the gossip and hot news forum on GR. the thread is 'girl lookbook pics' or something like that.

At the site I mentioned it's in the forums under new lines

Ahhhh ok now I found it. Thanks Ladies!!!

Oh, I didn't know about that site! I work tonight so I can't wait to see the LB IRL.

Okay, who knows WHERE I can go to see pictures from the LookBook? :crazy:

Is it on GR, kim?


I just went there and saw them, thanks Kim!!!

I think I NEED that petal dress for easter!

So, has anyone heard anything else about Janeville? I was looking at a thread about it on GR and their clothes are so cute. I also read that they have 2 Janevilles where I use to live so I might have to stop in and check them out next time I'm in Northern Virginia.

I got my gymbo order today, and Grrr...the 12-28 month cutie pie onepiece is missing a snap...I of course can return it locally, except, they obviously don't have short sleeved ones in michigan. So I guess what I do is bring it back to the store and the store can phone in an order for a new one for me and I won't have to pay shipping...

Here's my princess in her new angel outfit, she loves it. By the way, the reason she is ontop of the cat house is cause she "flyed" there...so perhaps a shirt with wings wasn't the best plan. Ohh, and this was our first attempt at gymboree non-jean pants for her, and we are very shocked, and happy, that they actually fit!

http://www.jocose.net/fm/angel1.jpg

http://www.jocose.net/fm/angel2.jpg

http://www.jocose.net/fm/angel3.jpg

I tried to get pics of caid in some of his new clothes...but he wasn't impressed and just screamed...so here are his clothes (and blanket) not on him. :lol:

http://www.jocose.net/fm/gymbo.jpg

I don't know the lines... :blush: and I'm too lazy too look them up, but the outlet had everything (except the cheaper items, like socks, leggings, onesies, etc) for 9.99 today. We got a pair of tan cords and a light blue rocket ship sweater in 12-18 months, a yellow raincoat from the sunflower line last year in 2t (I wish they had the boots :( ), the red prim and proper dress (they had the silver stuff, and as I was checking out dh said "she'll look like a rock" I laughed at him...but then he said her really didn't like it, so we went with red), the red prim and proper sweater and black cords, a thin air one piece romper in 18-24, robot socks, cute as a button cords and beret (but they didn't have any tops) in 12-28, and the giraffe sweater dress in 3t...I think that's it.


Ohh wait, the little teddy bear to match caids alphabet soup outfit we got for him to wear for his 1 year pictures that probably won't fit him till he's 2 at his rate of growth now.

The outlet has grown with love and bubble fun already, which I thought was strange. The are completely sold out of fox trot. :(

score jillian!
i bought the rocket sweater for a friend's baby the line is called called 'space trooper' and i love it! so cute!

they had grown with love already? it's not even hardmarked down that much in the stores! (she says while eyeing the white veggie cardigan)

O.k., thanks to you all, I had to go to the mall today and get a Gymbo fix. Two gymbucks later.... (and closing in on the third one, yikes!!)

I'll have to post what I got when I figure out which items from which lines I bought! :lol:

Does anyone have this Giraffe Club dress? I handwashed it in cold water and the colors bled! I'm really disappointed- just didn't expect that from a Gymboree product. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix the dress? TIA!!

http://www.gymbohaven.com/BGanim4.jpg

Have you tried contacting the store? I know some stores will take it back in exchange for the same item? Its worth a try. :dunno:

Was there anything else in the wash with it? I bought the same dress and just washed it today and didn't have any problems with it. I would take it back and see if they have another one or if they can order it for you. :nod:

Well, I did it... I bought some stuff from Gymboree for the first time... well, besides her coming home outfit at birth :lol: I think thats pretty good for over a year :)

Yea, I didn't like grown with love and such, but the cutie pie stuff was 9.99, the stuff I JUST bought this week for 16.99, if it wasn't for the two gymbucks I'm not willing to give up I would of returned them and just bought the stuff at the outlet for $7 cheaper.

I just bought it in 3t, but I probably won't be washing it for years...hmm, that is dissapointing. My grandma does something where she boils items in salt water BEFORE the first washing that prevents bleeding of colours, I guess I'll try that...

lyndee - if they won't take it back (and i bet they will) you could try those 'color catcher' things...i can't think of who makes them though.

:scratch: I think Tide makes one... or maybe its Shout?? :dunno:

:scratch: I think Tide makes one... or maybe its Shout?? :dunno:


Shout. With the exception of kids clothes umm...we don't sort laundry. :blush: so we use colour catchers in every load.

Lyndee- I have that dress and didn't have any problem with it bleeding, but I would think that your gymbo would take it back, we've had that problem and they took the outfit back (the cotton onepiece from Jardin Francaise)

Lyndee, they'll take it back. Do you have your receipt?

Hi All! Thanks for coming to my rescue. I called Gymboree today and they said I can bring it in for a refund ( I don't really want my money back- I just love this dress) or an exchange (but they didn't have any more at the store) I checked online and found it in a 3 (I had a 3T) so I went ahead snagged it. (along with some other things that got me 2 Gymbucks :blush: ) I've got my receipt- I'll just return the ruined dress to the store and make sure to dry clean the new one. It just baffles me how that dress could have bled. It was in the sink by itself with cold water and dreft. :scratch: But thanks everyone. Crisis resolved. :nod:

Lyndee, that's really strange. We have that dress for Katie, and I've washed it twice now (in cold, but NOT handwashed) and it hasn't bled. :dunno: You must've just gotten a bad one. :(

Ah.... I just got a Gymbuck at lunch today!

I got this to go with other Sugar Cookie stuff we already have:
http://www.gymbohaven.com/sugarc21.jpg
This will go with her other Grown With Love Stuff. We have a lot of it!
Score at $14.99!
http://www.gymbohaven.com/grownw16.jpg

And something I've been eyeing up for a while now:

http://www.gymbohaven.com/ABGani79.jpg

along with the purse!
http://www.gymbohaven.com/ABGani1.jpg

I LOVE Tiger Love!

Oh, I hope the new sleep lines have some of those one piece zip ups for my son! I love him in them in the summer!

rumor is we're going to see markdowns tomorrow on the TL and GC stuff and possibly a % off sale this weekend.

what was i saying about gymbo exile last week? :scratch:

MORE markdowns??? UGH! Wonder how much the TL sweater will cost then?

I swear I'm constantly buying and returning to get a better deal! THEN there's also times when my store gets sold out. :crazy:

Ah CruD!!! Remind me to check the other groups before I decide to go out and buy!!

I see the sweater I bought today at $24.99 will be $19.99 tomorrow. AHHHHH! :banghead:

:woo: I am going to the mall tomorrow to pick up my ring. MUST stop at Gymboree and then wash clothes and hang them so DH doesnt know :lol2:

Lyndee--wash the new dress w/ a Shout Color Catcher :nod:

Lette, instead of returning and rebuying, just ask for a price adjustment. You can get one within 14 days.

Whoooo hooooo! Ladies, get to the Gymbo website quick....

Love Bird's Life (the peacock dress and shirt!), not too enamored of Petit Four - looks alot like Baby Lulu stuff, which all reminds me of flowery wallpaper.

I also can't add the skirt to my online basket for some reason. Guess I'll give them some time to get everything up and working. :lol:

Okay, so far, not impressed with Pink Petals. I need to see it in person though....right now, white is a bad idea for Sabrina, as she is crawling and making a mess when eating.

I think I might like this though:

The boys stuff is cute, too, but eh.... :lol:

:omg: Lexie would just DIE for the Tea Time Princess Dress UP!

ANY and ALL of it! :love2:

I will have to wait and see how long it takes to get good and reduced. :lol:

Thanks Colleen for the notice- I took a look in there and thank goodness I ordered the Giraffe Club dress yesterday because they don't have it posted anymore! Whew!

I like these:

hmm...I liked the look of the petal dress in the look book, but I don't like it in person...in fact I don't like any of the new girl lines. I'll probably just get the peacock sweater since Janelle loves peacocks so much. I do like the newborn sweater vest and matching stuff for boys though, haven't looked at the baby boy stuff yet.

Love Bird's Life (the peacock dress and shirt!).

ohh, I didn't even look at kid girl, that's not fair, Janelle loves peacocks so much.

Ok, so DH doesn't get a say in the kid's clothes often...so despite my dislike of it...this is what we are going with for Easter this year.

There were two clearance racks on the boys' side, but none on the girls...just a sale rack of DW & SC and then the Newborn sale stuff.. I asked where the girls stuff was and she said "we got rid of it, there was NO ROOM for it." :wtf: That was when I got mad. This is the most upscale mall in the metro Milwaukee area and the suckiest Gymbo, IMO. I was pissed. So I called my mom and asked her to run to the Gymbo at the mall that is by where she works (a much bigger gymbo!) and said to pick up whatever she thinks is cute from the GWL line :lol: Lets hope she has the same taste as me :lol:

must..... stay..... away :errr:

We moved around the store last night to get ready for the new lines, and I got cozy with the look book as well. :lol: Bonjour Provence is going to bankrupt me, seriously. :lol: Summer frun also promises to be cute, and the baby layette watermelon line, oh dear! I need the dress from that line! :lol:

Karri, I like different stuff in person than what I see in pictures/on the web, so I am going to reserve my judgement til I can actually see the clothes in person.

"we got rid of it, there was NO ROOM for it." :wtf: That was when I got mad.


This is what they were telling me at the outlet this weekend. Every store manager gets to decide themselves when to ship stuff to the outlets, so like some of the stores shipped all their grown with love stuff last week, other stores still haven't shipped hide and seek etc. So crazy.

I'm going to have to go buy another $50 worth of stuff on Thursday or next Friday (days I'll be at a mall) so I can get a 3rd gymbuck for buying Easter stuff with.

Karri, not all stores ship to the outlets. Sometimes they ship to other stores in the area too. We've never shipped to the outlets. I guess it depends on the region. :dunno:

According to the outlet lady this is up to the stores too...the gymboree in southfield which is like less than 20 minutes from the outlet doesn't ship to the outlet they just keep everything till it sells.

I was reading on GR that there is a rumour that Gymboree is not going to have leggings anymore. Has anyone heard that? I hope it is not true since Emma lives in their leggings and swing tops. They are the only pants that stay on her.

For those who have seen this dress in preson: Would it work for a wedding in early July. Would it work in hot weather. The wedding is in Vermont so I am thinking it will be hot and humid.

I have some gift shopping to do this weekend so maybe a trip to the Mall with gymboree in it is in order. :)

Eva, I think it is just a rumor about the leggings. They stop doing leggings for the summer lines (and do bike shorts instead...they had plenty in the lookbook for the 2 other lines in there.) You'll see leggings again with the fall lines.

Plus, it never hurts to email Gymboree Corporate and tell them you like the leggings, and hope they continue to make them. :)

Haven't seen the new line in person yet, so sorry, can't help you with the dress. Easter dresses from Gymbo are usually dressy enough for something like a wedding though. :)

Hmm, I'm not sure if I like the new lines or not yet. I haven't seen them in person yet but I work on Friday so I'll see everything then.

Eva - it was a very dressy dress (as were all the Easter dresses). I didnt totally manhandle it, but it seemed very thin. It wasnt thickly lined or anything, which was why I dismissed it as an Easter dress for my climate. So yes, I think it would work for you. (I am also considering it as a dress for a wedding we are considering taking the kids to in June).

I was posting some old photos in my playgroup and I cam across these and wanted to share. Even in the NICU, Norah & Elliott were sportin' Gymbo :lol:

How sweet Karri! :love2:

Well, I'm going to Gymbo today to get a PA. :rolleyes: I can't wait to check out the new lines in person!

Awww:)

They were so tiny. I held a little guy this weeken who was 6 1/2 lbs and I just couldn't believe my baby was ever that small, of course she was 2lbs smaller, but wow, he was little.

I need someone to change my e-bay password and not tell me, In the last half hour I won a rainbow sherbet set and a NWT sunshine daydream set(with hairbows!). This being able to wear pants from gymboree thing has opened up a whole lot more options.

Well, I got $7 back. :)

I wasn't too thrilled with the selection of Bird's Life in our store. :( They did not have the skirt and tank I like, and I didn't really care for some of it as much in person.
They also didn't have leggins, bikers, shorts, etc! What's up with No Leggins!!! I asked the SA if that was all they had and she said, "It's a very small line" :rolleyes:

These were very cute! Along with the sweater! That's about it!
http://www.gymbohaven.com/abirds99.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/abirds3.jpg

Lette, I didn't think it was all Tier 1 and online stuff. :dunno: They had it all out? You could always have them call online from the store and have it shipped to your house (for free, remember...) if they don't have the stuff you like.

I still haven't seen it IRL yet.

Ah yes! Thanks for the reminder!

I think I'll wait for a sale though. :)

What did you win, Jillian (and what size so I can maybe buy it off you when you're done :lol: ) from SSDD?

I don't know about buying it off me... :lol: Janelle might be able to wear it for the next 2 or so years.

Cute!
That's true, she does get a lot of wear out of her clothes.

I really don't need anymore 3-6 month stuff for summer so I'm looking toward next year... though that doesn't keep me from having several SSDD things in 3-6 on my e-bay watch at all times :lol:

Nocona, Summer Fun is going to be a lot like SSDD. And since size 3-6 is usually the size that sits around the store the longest, you should be able to scoop up some good deals come summer! :lol:

this is a top from folk song and the big flower capris from spring showers. they match perfectly.

Ok, what is up with a lot of people not liking Apres Ski? I *loved* that line and have almost bout 5 shirts from it. I actually wish I had bought more of it. :lol:

I love Apres Ski too!

Cute cute cute kids!!!

I scored a NWT dress from the City Sidewalks line off of swap yesterday! I am excited! http://www.gymbohaven.com/newhol67.jpg

I like AS... Dont have anything from it currently though

I like AS too. Emma has the jeans and turtleneck.

I bought that CS dress after Christmas for a great deal.

Cute pictures. :)

I can't wait until Sara gets here so I can try some stuff on her :lol:

Lisa - did you look on GymboRebel? There's about 10 zillion for sale posts or you could try doing an ISO post.

alysia i love DW! those pics are so cute. i want the navy froggie shirt with the ribbons :love1:

Cute pictures everyone! I'm really starting to like DW but I haven't bought anything since my HUGE purchase from my manager. Jeff says I'm not allowed to buy anything else right now. :tongue2: I work tonight so I might just have to get something, though.

Ok, Colleen, what's this on GR about us being able to wear jeans? Are you guys allowed to at your store? I haven't worked in abouit 2 1/2 weeks so I haven't heard anything yet and I don't want to call my manager and ask her about the rumor I heard on the internet.:lol: Also, are you guys still wearing the aprons? I actually like wearing my apron b/c it hides my fat. :lol:

Kim: Yep, it's the AS Cocoa cup A line top with the cocoa cup leggings. ;) Love that outfit!

Jenn: Dress code changes 2/14 so you'll get the skinny when you work tonite. You can wear any top (solid, pattern, etc) as long as there is no logos, sequins, fringe, or low cut. No halters, so tank or tube tops. For pants, yes, we can wear jeans! If they are low cut jeans, your top has to cover them as no belly can be exposed. :lol: No sweats, yoga pants, leggings, or pajama bottoms. Aprons are history, as we'll be getting name badges. I kinds liked the apron for the pockets, myself. :lol:

no tube tops! i'd be livid :lol2:

Colleen - Thanks for the info! :woo: I hope we can wear jeans at my store. I know on GR some people were saying that thier SM and DM wouldn't let them wear jeans. I'll find out tonight!

alysia i love DW! those pics are so cute. i want the navy froggie shirt with the ribbons :love1:
Me too!! I can't wait until DW gets up to 40% off. I really like the light blue pants with the embroidered froggies too!!!

Here's Carolyn in her Dandelion Wishes....

I was up too late last night , surgin GR, debating whether or not to buy a boatload of that $5 12-18 mo stuff. But I passed. I just bought a 12-18 mo Sporting Green ensamble from Shel and well, we have enough 12-18 to sink a ship :lol: I am on the hunt for larger stuff and apparently, no one is selling that right now.

~Lisa~ I have been searching on Ebay for weeks! I have been trying to win some Vacation Time stuff and keep getting outbid at the last minute... ( Which is probably a good thing! :lol: )


E-snipe

I won 4 gymbo auctions this week. Some icecream capri's and a t-shirt from rainbow sherbet, sunshine day dreams orange dot biker shorts, orange tank and orange dot hair bows, 2 pairs of biker shorts, 2 tanks, and a halter from fruit punch, and the blue bunny story sweater. I need to get the pink one too...

was at the mall in providence today. of course we hit gymbo. they had tons of AS on a rolling rack but not the swing top i want. bummer.

i did manage to get the TL velour dress i've been wanting to get (in 18-24 for next year)
http://www.gymbohaven.com/ABGani2.jpg

the matching hat to the HnS fleece coat (which ironically gianna was wearing today) for $2.99
http://www.gymbohaven.com/newaug44.jpg

and bubble fun socks for an outfit we already have. .99
http://www.gymbohaven.com/Bubble47.jpg

i would have bought more but there was no sale! the had GC on the rounders but still not cheap enough for me.

Kim - Ashton is wearing this dress tomorrow for Alexis' Christening here in Buffalo. Love it!!!! I almost want to get it in 12-18 month for Alexis and have it as their '05 Christmas Dress!

Karri~ I've got bigger stuff but it's all size 3 so Norah won't be wearing that size for quite a while!

You guys are going to have fun when I sell the girls winter stuff from this year come summer. :lol2: :awink:

Kim: Sabrina's cocoa cup set is 12-18. :awink:

Oh, and I worked last night and got a good look at the new lines. I didn't buy a thing. :dunno: The outfit I wanted (which Kim likes too...)

This top:

http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/140000548?$240x305$

with these pants:

http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/140000561?$240x305$

Get this....the top, which is a cap sleeve, is only being sold in "warm weather" stores and online! WTF????? Here in snowy cold frozen NY, they send us sleeveless tops and dresses, and send the shirts with sleeves to Miami????? I don't get it? :colfish:

So, I bought nothing. I either have to order from online and pay shipping (or spend enough for free shipping) or not get it. GRRRRRR! :(

i know colleen, i couldn't find that shirt either! i was pretty annoyed as it was the only one i was interested in.
i had my teenage niece with me...she was impressed with all the matching accessories with the lines. :lol:

i am thinking 12-18 will be too small for gianna next winter :(...she is pretty long (27in) and not exactly lightweight right now (16lbs) at 5 months:lol: i am hedging my bets and buying 18-24. i figure if they are too big someone will surely want them.

Nichole -Yeah, I dont buy that far in advance :lol:

Colleen - my store had that shirt. :scratch: We arent warm weather. I wonder if it made it there on a mistake?

Kim - well you are in luck, then, because we have the motherlode in 18-24 :nod: (all pants & long sleever or long sleeve dresses or dresses w/ matching sweaters). I have lots of Cherries and lots of Bon Jour and some misc. pieces!

I finally won the dress I've been trying for all week...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8168178677

Ohh, and I also won a nwt pink bunny story sweater today, so I'll just get them matching khakis and those will be their casual easter outfits/second outfits for easter pictures.

I love that dress, Jillian!

I got a Gymbo shirt at OUAC today for $.50 :woo: I have no idea what line it is, but it was $.50! :lol:

I promise nocona, if Janelle goes through a growth spurt between now and next summer you will get first pikc of her gymbo clothes. Or if Sara grows at the same pace as Janelle you can have it all in 2 summers.

HEY - I was watching that dress :lol: I forgot to bid on it, though. doh. Oh well. Very cute dress!!!!

must....quit....buying.... :lol:

I just bought a Tick Tock Ticking dress and a Rainbow Sherbet bloomer/tank set off of GR tongiht. ARGH. Must stop this madness :lol: Its all Kaari's fault for showing them to me :lol:
I am thinking that the TTT dress will be a cute Easter dress if I put a cardigan over it and put tights on her. I guess we'll see. Its the same color as the shirts I bought the boys from TCP, so it would be nice if it worked :aok:

HEY - I was watching that dress :lol: I forgot to bid on it, though. doh. Oh well. Very cute dress!!!!
:lol: I put every single one of them I could find(about 3 days ago) in 12-18-2t in a bidgroup on e-snipe...and I lost like 5 of them before winning one...

I have a few pics to post:

I ran across this picture that was taken about 6 months ago. This Animal Cracker outfit was my favorite!

Lisa~ Those are cute. What line is that?

Does anyone know what line this is? I love this dress! Someone gave it to us, so I have no idea.

It's from Sweet Chic (2001).

Sweet Chic I believe? We had that dress for Riley (with hat)

Thanks girls! :)

Lisa~ Those are cute. What line is that?
The shirt and overalls are Indian Summer and the jumper is Floral Patchwork.

It's from Sweet Chic (2001).

I have the overalls from the same line and never knew what line it was from. Also a hand me down. :)

Hilary~ That dress is ADORABLE!!

I do still have that Floral Patchwork jumper in a 3T if anyone's interested.... :biggrin:

I'm hoping there's a % off sale this weekend so I can buy some sale pieces I've been eyeing. Yes, we need a good sale (and no, I haven't heard anything. :awink: )

Okay, I have a question, kinda like a QOTD. :lol: Do you mix and match pieces from lines, or do you generally wear things as outfits and not mix and match?

Do you mix and match pieces from lines, or do you generally wear things as outfits and not mix and match?

To keep things simple (especially for Jeff, and sometimes, Avery, when she wants to pick her clothes) I keep everything in her drawer together in outfits. So, a top and bottom are placed together. Sometimes I'll mix and match a bit, but for the most part, I keep things in the same outfit.

I mix and match, but mostly with solid leggins or solid tops.

Sunday Lex had this on from CS and TL ...
But only because she wore her pink velour leggins the day before and they were in the wash! :lol:

http://www.gymbohaven.com/newhol32.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/ABGani86.jpg

I am still pretty new to the whole Gymbo addiction thing so for now she just wears matching outfits. I dont have enough stuff to mix and match

I keep everything together for the most part and don't mix and match lines. I tend to hang everything by line in her closet and keep the lines, that go in drawers, together. Jeff doesn't usually dress Peyton but if he does, I usually have an outfit already out on her dresser for her.

marc dresses gianna pretty much every work day. he has 'no gymbo to daycare' instructions :lol: i keep the gymbo in a specific place so he doesn't accidently put it on her.... man i'm pathetic :lol:

i don't have a ton of gymbo (yet) but i have mixed a few things. i've found that the HnS blue velour leggings will match my AS top. i also have matched the doggie AS swing with a pr of print leggings from 'snow angel'. looks fine.

i posted the other day a pic of G in a mixed spring showers/folk song combo....btw those big flower capris run ginormous :lol:

I do the same thing, except their clothes are hung up, so I have the pants/shorts and the shirt on the same hanger, or dress and tights on the same hanger, etc.

Hilary~ Those are so cute!

I know lette..I didn't follow through with it.

Those are so cute ..those outfits!

Jayne

I have some solid color hand me down tops (turtlenecks, short sleeve creepers, and whatnot) that I've been able to mix & match with lines in the past. BUT for the most part, if I do mix & match it will be something like a Gymbo top with a pair of non-gymbo jeans. KWIM?

I'll mix and match, but Caroline frequently dresses herself in whatever she wants, and I let her, so while the individual pieces may be cute, sometimes the combination is pretty interesting...

Here is an example of a self-selected combo: Gymboree Daisy Sweater... Leggings that are size 12-18 months that are now capri leggings and a Gap T-shirt and Old Navy socks... :lol: BTW does anyone recognize what group those leggings are from? They are pretty old, but they are her absolute favorites and I want to get them in a bigger size.

I'll have to check that out... her sweater is sunshine daydreams... by then I was lost to Gymboree... I bought a ton of that stuff :)

From what I've heard, there's a sale starting tomorrow!

I just won this on Ebay! It's for Madelynn and will match Ava's dress perfectly! I'm going to have to get their pictures in these. :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/hilary11579/mstop.bmp

I got an email from Gymbo that there is an extra 20% off sale items. But their website is down right now! :banghead:

Amy... I can't get my home email now, but I thought it was just 20% off SALE items? No? :crazy:

yes... i noticed the "Technical Difficulties" message too!

From what I've heard, there's a sale starting tomorrow!

I got the email that it's 20% off sale and clearance, and starts today! I can't even get onto the Gymbo website, so some people must be shopping. :lol:

Great minds think alike. :lol:

Amy... I can't get my home email now, but I thought it was just 20% off SALE items? No? :crazy:

Yes it is.....I fixed my original post.

I had my cart all ready for check out and then I recieved that stupid message. I am angry right now. The stuff probably won't be available when it does come back up.

Well, I just earned another gymbuck at lunchtime shopping! :banana:

I went for a PA on the Sugar Cookie Backpack and ended up shopping. I rang up at $48 something, threw in a pair of socks and made it! :lol:

Today I got..

Do NOT let me go back in there before the next redemption!!!

Lette, I've got that TL dress on hold for Isabelle too. Unfortunately, they are out of the TL tights in her size, though. :(

Oh, and redemption is 3/3 - 3/13 so you don't have long to wait. :)

Lette, the best way to earn Gymbucks is buying sale stuff! :aok: You did well! :lol:

Well, now I have to go over to the store... After coming here the other day, I went in and got about $65 worth of stuff and a Gymbuck, so I have to go in for a PA and get more stuff!!! ARGH!!! I knew I should stay off this thread!

Well, I ended up at the store and getting another gymbuck. This is soooo bad. I really think I need to join Gymboholics anonymous.

Can someone please explain to me how gymbucks work? I know for every $50 you spend you get a gymbuck and there are certain times to redeem the gymbucks but thats about all I know? I am so cunfused. :silly:

Lette, the best way to earn Gymbucks is buying sale stuff! :aok: You did well! :lol:
I'm LEARNING! :lol2:

I've never had TWO gymbucks before! :owow: :lol:

I'm excited though because from what I've seen of the upcoming lines, I'll NEED them!

Can someone please explain to me how gymbucks work? I know for every $50 you spend you get a gymbuck and there are certain times to redeem the gymbucks but thats about all I know? I am so cunfused. :silly:

That's correct. During earnings period, for every $50 pretax you spend, you get a gymbuck. Each Gymbuck is good for $25 off a $50 purchase during redemption time. In order to use the gymbuck, the original receipt must be stapled to the gymbuck, and if you return any merchandise from the earned gymbuck receipt, you have to spend enough to meet the $50) level, or you lose the gymbuck.

During redemption (which usually lasts 10 days), for each gymbuck earned, you get $25 off $50. So, of you have 4 gymbucks, you get $100 off a $200 purchase. To use gymbucks the smartest way, your best bet is to spend as close to the $50 increment as possible. Meaning...if you spend $50 or $80, you still only get $25 off.

Does this make sense?

Wow, lette --looks like you made out well! :aok:


See..I dont like when redemption is so soon after giving out Gymbucks. Thats why my gymbucks usually go to waste :blush: I cant spend all that money again!

Anyway....here is Norah today, sportin' a full head-to-toe Sporting Green ensamble that we just bought, NWT off Shel (a little disheveled...she had just thrown a tantrum)

Karri...she looks so cute!

Usually there is at least a few weeks between earning and redemption. This time...it's 4 days! I have no idea why they timed it that way. :dunno:

I thought it was due to Easter being so early this year...

Usually there is at least a few weeks between earning and redemption. This time...it's 4 days! I have no idea why they timed it that way. :dunno:Yeah, I wasn't too happy that the dates are so close either. I wanted to be able to use them on reduced-priced Summer Fun. No such luck! My guess is that they want to get redemption period out of the way and then put their Easter stuff on sale right before Easter.

That's correct. During earnings period, for every $50 pretax you spend, you get a gymbuck. Each Gymbuck is good for $25 off a $50 purchase during redemption time.

Well ladies I am officially no longer a Gymboree Virgin.
I got my first GymBuck today! :yippee:
Just had to come here and share cause you guys are the only ones that would understand my excitment.

oh you're in trouble now lisa :lol:

aw, miss N is so cute in sg! i have a set for gianna this spring. i love that line.

so i couldn't help myself...i went to gymbo and got another gymbuck :blush1: the bonus here is that i used the rest of my giftcard to get it. so a free gymbuck for me :lol:

i got:

Kim - is GWL marked down any more?? I plan on hitting gymbo tomorrow.....

btw - good buy :aok: I know you wanted that cardigan :lol:

that sweater was $15 after the discount...i almost didn't buy it but there was not a lot of gwl hanging around so i sucked it up :lol:

i'm a sucker for a matching cardigan :nod:

The GWL stuff I saw today was 40% off + the 20% discount.

Lisa - did you go to Mid Rivers? Do they have anything good out there. I went to Galleria and they didn't have much more than they had last time I was there during the last 25% off sale.

Kim - they had some Goldfish stuff on sale + the 20% off but I didn't know what you were looking for. I had several things in hand and then put it back thinking maybe they'll have a 25% off sale soon :lol:

they had a bit of goldfish at this store too. did this line go up to 18-24? i like the jeans (they didn't have them) and the orange sweater (they only had one in a small size).

When I went back, I got my price adjustment and then bought another $60 or so worth of stuff for another gymbuck... so much for staying away from Gymboree!!! AARGH!!

Lisa - did you go to Mid Rivers? Do they have anything good out there. I went to Galleria and they didn't have much more than they had last time I was there during the last 25% off sale.

I have been to Mid Rivers a few times in the past few weeks and I went to the Galleria today. The Galleria is a Tier 1 store but I wasnt that impressed with it. I went in there totally expecting them to have all kinds of stuff but they really didnt have much with the exceptions of a few things. The only thing I noticed at MR is they have quite a few infant shoes. Like a saw quite a few pair of CAAB (I think) and some crib shoes. They had alot of the same stuff that the Galleria had. Let me know if there is anything you are looking for and I can check.

Mid Rivers is less than a mile from my house so I will stick to that one and just call the Galleria if there is something I want.

This is all I got in the past 2 days:

I think thats it? :scratch:

Lisa, I have that coat and LOVE it! It's a great coat and so versatile.

Lisa, I have that coat and LOVE it! It's a great coat and so versatile.
COOL! :aok: I just happened upon it and it just happened to be the right size for next year. I thougth about selling it til I saw it wasnt sellling on ebay for much so I talked myself into keeping it. :) I got it for a steal.

Hey Lisa, did you ever hear about the job at Gymbo? And I have that coat for Avery, and I love it!!! BTW, if you were planning on selling it NWT, your best bet would be to sell it in the summer when people start looing for winter stuff. Winter stuff really isn't selling much now on ebay when it is so cheap in the stores.

Kim...I guess the exile is over! :lol: And the goldfish did go up to 18-24. The jeans were a hot item and sold out fast in larger sizes. Try ebay or the loops....the loops may be a better shot right now.


I worked last night, and I only picked up 2 pairs of these jammies for the girls. At $10 each, they were a steal!

http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/140000161?$240x305$


I also bought a DW outfit for Sabrina, but Jeff didn't like it (he doesn't like the green leggings) so it's going back.

:lol: the exile was over because i used the gift card and not our own $ :lol:.

btw: i was in bru yesterday and they still have SG knockoffs. nothing in her size though :complain: i wanted to look around more cuz they have some cute stuff but tony was being a severe p.i.t.a. . (i also saw a few new color macs..very pretty!)

Here's Lexie in her outfit I bought on Thursday. I bought a size 4 thinking it would be good for next year and it fit! :owow: Hmmm, now I'm all confused over what size to buy for next winter! :scratch:

Going to her friends birthday party today!

Why do I feel guilty about today's shipping trip?:scratch:
I earned a gymbuck (spent $50.80) and got this:
18-24 mos GWL

2T TL

2T GC
http://www.gymbohaven.com/BGanim48.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/BGanim54.jpg

And a 5 pr socks.

I feel so guilty, although I shouldnt b/c they were such great deals!! I think I will use my gymbuck to get the boys some clothes (if I like anything...I really didnt look).

I was just sitting here, thinking I did a bonehead thing. I spent $10 on 5 pr of freaking socks. :duh: I am going to return those socks tomorrow and get a shirt or something. Christ, I can get 10 pr of socks for $10 at Old Navy :lol:

OK, I've been reading this thread and thinking - yeah, Gymboree is ok and all, but it's so expensive! Well, having a boy is one thing, but now with a girl - it's so cool!

I bought 11 items for $110 today. Where do you guys get the pics from? I'll post if I can find them.

Brandi - look on Gymbohaven.com under the "girls" or "newborn" links (depending on the lines you bought). They are listed by line.

Karri, I bought that stripey velour dress for Court and Caroline for next year... sizes 3T and 18-24 and thought about getting one just in case in size 3-6 months for #3, but decided against it... though for $8.00, I may change my mind :)

Hmmmm.... I went to Gymbohaven, but I don't know how to get the pics from there. Oh well.

I bought stuff for next year so I sure hope they fit! I bought all 18-24 month clothes for Heather (Aug.20 b-day) and 5 for Carter!

brandi i'm buying 18-24 for gianna as well. let's hope we're both right on sizing!

you should be able to right click and copy the pic and just paste here. i use firefox and can't c&p, so i just copy the image location and then use the image button in the reply box and past the url in. make sense?

here's what i got:

For Carter:

and also a pair of black sweatpants that I have no idea what line they came from.

I also got some things that I can't find on the Gymbohaven website. I got a cute pink sweater with a zebra on the front and the back of the zebra on the back. Pants that are pink corduroy with a little zebra finger puppet coming out of the pocket. I also got a pair of blue overalls with goldfish all over them and a long sleeve onesie with orange stripes and a cute collar and goldfish on it. I don't know what lines those are from. Anyone know? I don't know anything about Gymboree stuff.

I earned two Gymbucks so I think I will go back and look for Easter stuff when the time comes. I usually get Carter something for Easter/Birthday.

You know? I think the website prices are better than what I paid. How is that?

the stuff you can't find is in the layette section on gymbohaven. the goldfish line is 'my pet goldfish' and the giraffe is 'monkey and friends'

You know? I think the website prices are better than what I paid. How is that?

No - its just that the website prices include that extra 20% off the sale price. So it should be what you paid :nod:

Thanks guys!
ok, here's what else I got:

Man, there is some cute stuff in these lines!

So cute, brandi!!
So I took back the socks and ended up getting her this:
http://www.gymbohaven.com/BGanim47.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/BGanim32.jpg
I was a few cents under $50, but the girl was nice enough just to let it go :lol:

I looked around at the boys stuff and well, not much struck my fancy. My guess is that I'll end up redeeming the gymbucks on that Wildflower Fields outfit that I like and maybe a swimsuit. Hmn.

Those are cute Karri. They didn't have those at my store.

I love the walk in the woods line. I'm thinking of getting Heather something from that for Easter if I can find some.

Todays purchases resulting in 2 gymbucks :) :

It's such a GOOD thing I don't have a girl:lol:

I love Poppy Fields, Eva! I had the whole ensemble picked out Saturday, but they didn't have the right sized pants so I put it all back :( I'm going to keep looking.

Thanks, Lisa. I won't waste a trip out to MR then. I went to Chesterfield Saturday and they had quite a bit, but the sizes are hit and miss.

As I said, I had the CUTEST outfit picked out in poppies, but they didn't have 0-3 pants :cry: Then my sister said I need to dress her in pink, not red :rolleyes:

I did get 2 things:
http://www.gymbohaven.com/ABGani4.jpg
and
http://www.gymbohaven.com/04zebr70.jpg

for a STEAL! Do these run true to size? I got a 12-18 month, but I'm thinking I'm going to need a 6-12 month (4/16 due date).

This outfit, Kim?
http://www.gymbohaven.com/mypetg2.jpg

I had the sweater in my hand the other day :lol: I think they had some jeans too, but I'm not sure what sizes. I can look for you though!

I SO want that outfit...in 18-24, but I can't find it in that size anywhere, and we have a TON of gymborees around here.

Nocona


Do these run true to size? I got a 12-18 month, but I'm thinking I'm going to need a 6-12 month (4/16 due date).

I think their stuff runs big compared to other brands. Courtney is 13 months, and she is still very comfortable in 6-12... she is on the small side, but not overly small.

Damn...you girls...I read this thread and ending up buying some stuff on sale for Livia this weekend. And...to top it off...I went online this morning to add some more to it.

Karri - are you buying ahead for Norah? I was buying for Spring/Fall (so mild here...can wear the same stuff). The 18-24 months fits Livi now. Go Norah! I bought 2T for Livi. Hope the stuff fits :awink:.

:biggrin:- Erin

I think their stuff runs big compared to other brands. Courtney is 13 months, and she is still very comfortable in 6-12... she is on the small side, but not overly small.


I agree. I think Gymboree runs big on a whole. Janelle could probably still wear 6-12 month stuff if I was willing to put that size on my 2 1/2 year old. She is very comfortably in 12-18 months in gymboree but for MOST other clothes (like old navy, gap, etc) she is in 18-24m.

Yes, Erin, I am buying for next season :lol:

Nocona - I think it runs pretty true to size :dunno: Well, they don't run small, I can tell you that much. Norah is in 12-18 right now and the shirts fit her great, the sweaters need their cuffs rolled once, and the pants are a little long and big in the waist. However, she outgrew the 6-12 stuff awhile ago. I dont forsee her growing out of the 12-18 until summer, though.

I'll think I'll exchange it for 6-12 month tomorrow. Is the 20% off still going on? I REALLY want my poppy outfit :lol:

I'll look for you tomorrow, Jillian!

Today is the last day for the 20% sale.

FOOK!!! :lol: Maybe I'll run down there after work. I can always exchange the dress and t-neck another time but I don't want to miss the sale.

Can you use the gumbucks online? That might be tempting. Although, shopping at the store is so much fun too.

No dice, Jillian. They had 2 0-3s and 1 12-18, which I grabbed for next year :) No jeans though :( Tons of the corduroy overalls and hats though.

I blame Kim (and I called her and told her that :lol: ) for me earning my first Gymbuck :lol:

Here's what I got:
http://www.gymbohaven.com/poppie15.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/poppie19.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/poppie11.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/poppie8.jpg
I decided against the sweater, though I love it.

I also got:
http://www.gymbohaven.com/mypetg8.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/mypetg18.jpg

and then to top off my SSDD obsession... 2 pairs of these (2 sizes... I can't believe they had these!) :lol:
http://www.gymbohaven.com/Sunshi111.jpg

Now I just wait for Summer Fun to come out March 1st!

Nice score, Nocona :aok: I was debating about getting that poppy outfit, myself! Still may with redemption, if they have it in her size :nod:

I like that goldfish outfit and couldnt find it in 18-24, either, at any of our Gymbos. Must have been uber popular??

those ssdd sandals are really cool :aok:

feel free to blame me, i don't care! now i have more people to obsess with :lol:

I have no idea what ssdd is, so the first thing i though of was - same sh!t, different day! I highly doubt that is the name of a gymbo line.

SSDD = Sunshine Daydream

The gold fish sweater is so cute. I didn't see it at the store i went to but they had lots of the overalls.

The Poppies hat is cute. Why didn't I get it too? :lol:

I made a Gymbo run today and earned a Gymbuck. I got an Apres Ski outfit, a sugar cookie outfit, one from DW and a couple other single pieces that i want to see if they have things to match online. Oh yeah and I got the TL velour dress I have been eyeing!!

Look what I just did

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4701392061&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT

I think this will be for Easter this year!

Just so you guys know, they are extending the extra 20% off until Sunday the 27th. We got the voice mail at closing. Gymbuck earning also ends the 27th too. :lol:

That's cute, Brandi! :up: Ava has the Walk in the Woods overalls and I love them!

Okay, I need some opinions. We need to take Sabrina for her 9 month pictures, and I want her to wear something cute. :lol:

What do you like out of these:

Choice #1:

#2:

Also, any suggestions would be great! I'm not feeling inspired. :( I'm trying to avoid skirts/dresses only because she won't get a lot of wear out of them.

I LOVE the paper lanterns so that gets my vote!!

paper lanterns :nod:. i was checking it out in the stores on friday and it's really cute stuff!

Colleen--
Can you educate us on the rhyme or reason to the sales? I'm sure they follow a cycle, right? When I worked in retail, the merchandise would come out for a specified time period, say 4 weeks at regular price, then it goes on sale, say 20% off, and then it goes on clearance at more than 20% off. The way Gymboree works, I can't even tell you how much I actually spend on pieces because the price keeps changing!

But my observations so far:
The new lines come out. A couple of days later is Gymbucks redemption. Then the new line goes on sale for 20% off. Then does it go up in price again before it goes on clearance? I have also noticed that there's a big sale just right before Gymbucks earning period ends.

We went to Gymbo yesterday. My mission: to get one more Gymbuck. We're going to a bday party this weekend so I bought some 3T little boy clothes- don't even know what line. I scoured the store for something I can get for Lauryn that was $20 but I just couldn't find anything else to buy! And I wasn't about to leave the store without a Gymbuck! (why oh why do we do this to ourselves???) So I ended up getting this:
http://www.gymbohaven.com/BGanim3.jpg

I wasn't even crazy about the rest of GC (except for the sweater dress) but since I got the skirt on sale the last time, I figured that the jacket wouldn't be a bad addition.

I do like the paper lanterns...the green is pretty and *different.*

Lyndee....

Actually, They usually only do Gymbucks once a quarter. Having earning and remdemption again like this is highly unusual. I don't know if we'll be seeing it more often or not.

They used to have a set pattern for markdowns...the whole line would get marked down to 20, then 40 then 60. Now it's "up to." Certain pieces get marked down further than others. I think they do it based on how each item is selling. Popular lines takes longer to get marked down (think Fox Trot and Bubble Fun.)

Usually you can count on a sale when a line debuts, but not always. My guess is there won't be one for the debut of Summer Fun next week, only because redemption starts the 3rd and they usually don't run sales with redemption.

ok so i've been reading on GR the past few months about redemption and the best way to use your gb's. i have 2 gb's and i realize the best use is to buy exactly $100 worth of stuff.
however, i read that people use them to buy the new lines at full price, but i'm thinking that might not be the best use? since they seem to be having so many sales lately. for instance if i had bought WFF during redemption at full price using gymbucks i think i would have paid more than waiting for them to go on sale? yes? no? can you see my confusion?

any insight from gb veterans?

Kim - good question. I am curious, too.

Colleen - go wtih Paper Lanterns!!!!!

Colleen, go green! :biggrin:

Colleen... I'll be the dissenter. I like #2 ~ Poppy Fields. It adds some color. :)

Oh and I'm curious about the best way to use Gymbucks as well. This is the first time I've had 2, so I want to use them wisely.

I think my problem is that my local stores are only Tier 3's, therefore the selection isn't the greatest. I probably will use GB's on the new stuff so I can get the correct sizes in the stuff I want. :crazy:

I've never used GB's online and I'm kind of leary about doing that.

Okay, regarding Gymbuck strategy.....

There are 2 schools of thought:

Buy markdown stuff. Or buy full price stuff.

The last time I was able to earn and use Gymbucks, I earned 3 Gymbucks, and was given one by someone who wasn't going to use it. :woo: Now, to earn those Gymbucks, I bought all sale stuff that had a further markdown....say stuff that was already 40% off plus an additonal 20% or 25%. So, I got a ton of merchandise for my $150 to start with.

Now, at redemption, they were releasing SFF. As soon as the stuff came out online, I looked at everything I liked, and put the items I liked into my online shopping cart. I tweaked and tweaked until I got a total that was close to $200 as I could. :) I think it was $200.78. That way, I could maximize my gymbuck discount. Then, I went to the store with my list (printed out of course) to put everything on hold. I think after the $100 was taken off, it came to about $110 which included tax.

I personally would use Gymbucks on full priced merchandise, or merchandise that has been marked down to 20 of 25% off. Lines that come out for redemption tend to get sold out quicker (at least the cute pieces.) By the time you try to buy a gymbuck line later, it's slim pickings in many sizes. And by the time it's marked down to the eqivalent of the Gymbuck discount (40% off plus another 25%) it's really picked over.

However, if you don't like the line, then buy something else. :lol: Don't just spend a gymbuck to "use it" KWIM?

I've never used GB's online and I'm kind of leary about doing that.

It's not hard. Buy the stuff online at the current price. When you get the stuff and the invoice, send the gymbucks with qualifying receipts and your invoice. They'll credit your card and then send you back all of the receipts. The sooner you send it in, the faster you get your credit.

Oh yeah, and I'm seeing a lot of you over at GR. :lol: I'm a little incognito, as my District Manager also reads on GR and I'd prefer to have my opinions remain anonymous. :lol: :awink:

Yeah, I'm not incognito at all over there. :lol:
I probably should have thought that over before signing up so quickly. :)

Thanks for the great tips Colleen! :up:

I think I've got it now! :banana:

Here's Ava in her new Gymbo outfit.

I wish we had a Gymboree here. We only have Gap.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/hilary11579/gymbooutfit.jpg

Oh, and one more thing. Try to stay as close as you can to those increments. Meaning if you have 2 Gymbucks, spend as close to $100 on the dollar that you can. Seeing as though you still only get $50 off whether you spend $100 or $130, you're better off getting the maximum discount by only spending the $100.

I signed up, but can't figure out who anyone is, so Lette's pretty incognito to me! :)

i'm incognito as well. i use my yahoo id and i don't give that out here because of previous issues on a swap group :rolleyes: ...

kaari sussed me out a while ago though on another loop :lol: she's a sly one.

oh ya, and hilary that is adorable. i can't believe how big she is!

kaari sussed me out a while ago though on another loop :lol: she's a sly one.:lol: Don't worry Kim. Your secret is safe with me! :biggrin:

Anne, it's not too hard to find Lette. You'll know it as soon as you see her!

Don't worry, Lette, I'm totally NOT incognito over there either! :lol:

Anne, it's not too hard to find Lette. You'll know it as soon as you see her!

:lol2:

Anne... Let me know how many seconds it takes to find me! :lol:

Glad I'm not the only visible one there. Sabrina said Hi to me too the other day! :)

:lol2:

Anne... Let me know how many seconds it takes to find me! :lol:

Glad I'm not the only visible one there. Sabrina said Hi to me too the other day! :)

I saw that thread. :lol: I've also seen Stephanie's posts too. :)

I know Kim's ID :scan: :lol: I'm very ingonito. In fact, I only have one post :lol:

Thanks for the advice, Colleen!! I planned on buying Summer Fun stuff and that seems the right way to go, especially since I'll have a couple days to plan out my purchase :lol:

I have a feeling EVERYONE is going to be buying Summer Fun stuff!!! Me included.

I'm getting anxious for the sale already! :screwy: WHAT is wrong with me? :crazy: :lol:

Question: Is it legal to go and pick stuff out and put it on hold till the next day?

Hmmmm, after continuing to read along I do believe I can be kicked out of the group due to the fact I haven't actually been in the store since City Sidewalks was relatively new! :blush:

I have a question for those of you who work in a Gymbo store. I have the GWL striped chenille sweater and it's been washed and worn 2 times. The sweater is pratically falling apart. It's hard to explain but when you hold it up to the light, there are parts where you can literally see right through the sweater. I washed it according to the directions. Is it worth it to bring it back to the store?? What is Gymbo's policy in regards to something like this? TIA!

I am not incognito at GR either.................

Anne :lol:

Kaari - I would totally take it back! I am not a gymbo employee, but IMO, a piece of clothing that you pay that much for should not start falling apart after you wash it twice according to directions!!

Ok - I must be blind. The only OUAL people I've seen over on GR are Kaari and Lisa.

Lette ~ It's totally legal to go put stuff on hold the night before GB's. People do it all the time. :thumbsup:

Kaari ~ They will take it back. Just take the sweater in and explain what happened to the store manager. Take your receipt in if you have it but it shouldn't be a problem if you don't.

Kaari- take it back! I just returned a GC dress that bled and they didn't give me a hard time about it (although the manager said I'm the only one who has ever had that problem)

Lette-- I'm going nuts thinking about the redemption time too- let's all hang in there together!

Colleen-- Don't use a gymbuck just to use it? Hmmm....I think I would have let that go before but seeing the pattern I'm in right now, I'll obssess over things I don't buy. Sooo, I think it's safer for my peace of mind to hang on to something for 60 days than let my gymbucks expire (which I doubt will ever happen now that I've gotten so sucked into this! )

Karri-- yes, they can hold your things the night before redemption. They'll bag your stuff and put your name on it.

And for my Gymbuck strategy this time:

On March 1, I will scope out on the website what I want to buy and pay attention to the increments- being careful not to go over $50 or $100 per set of purchase. On March 2, I will go to the store and get my picks and have them hold it. On March 3, I will go to Gymbo before I go to work and pick up my stuff. I plan to spend 2 Gymbucks on March 3. I have to save the other 2 on things that might grow on me after you guys have had a chance to stir up more craziness in my head!

I will use Gymbucks for full-priced stuff. I agree with Colleen, once the sale starts, the sizes are gone! (and then I'll be frantically scouring eBay)

Colleen- another question--

During the redemption period, how often does a Tier 1 store replenish? Our Tier 1 store gets their shipments in on Tuesdays so do they only replenish once?

Ok - I must be blind. The only OUAL people I've seen over on GR are Kaari and Lisa.

I'm in there too but I'm on lurk mode. I haven't fully admitted that I've got a problem. I told DH- I'm not as rabid as those people on GymboRebel. Then he said- yeah, that's what addicts say all the time!

I'm at GR, but I lurk only. I don't think I've ever posted, although I'm looking for a sweater for Owen on ebay and can't find it, so I may have to post an ISO.

Ugh... Colleen! I wish you hadn't mentioned they extended the 20% off sale!! Must try to restrain myself!!

Saw this on GR. Supposedly there are discounted Gymbo stuff.

http://www.pricelesskids.com/

Kim- there are many stores in MA.

Colleen- another question--

During the redemption period, how often does a Tier 1 store replenish? Our Tier 1 store gets their shipments in on Tuesdays so do they only replenish once?

All stores get replenishment once a week. Just because a particular items sells out or well, doesn't mean it will be replenished. Sometimes, they send out all they have of an item, and then it's "gone."

What I plan on buying with gymbucks (and I'm not admitting how many I now have... :tongue2: )

I already bought the matching dress this week...our 2 closest gymbo's were sold out of it in 12-18 and 2t, so I bought it in 18-24 just in case.

http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/140000747?$240x305$

probably 2 sets of these...
http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/140000664?$240x305$

http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/140000901?$240x305$

all of this...except if he still isn't actually walking yet I'll probably not get the shoes since they will look funny in pictures if he can't stand up for them...and if I don't get him shoes I won't get janelle the sandals either...just white tights.

http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/17024227?$240x305$

Then I will need 1 more outfit to make it...maybe something from the new lines or something I like in the store that day...I really want some paper lantern stuff but I'm too scared to buy ahead for next winter...Every kid has to go through at least 1 growth spurt and at 2 1/2 years I'd say Janelle is way over due for one.

all though... I like this outfit better...do you guys think it would look really bad with the green dress?

http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/17084128?$240x305$

I also love this...
http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/17024228?$240x305$

But he wore an argyle sweater dress for our family pictures in August so I think it would be silly to get another one.

Argh, and now dh has looked at everything with me again and says he likes this outfit best/that it matches best...

http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/17024231?$240x305$

Ok, everyone vote, which boy's outfit would look cutest on Caid/would match the green leaf dress the best?

I must be blind too cause I havent seen anyone from here over at GR. :scratch:

Jillian....

The policy is to give you a refund/exchange for a defective item. Take it back and they shouldn't give you a problem.

Saw this on GR. Supposedly there are discounted Gymbo stuff.

Kim- there are many stores in MA.


i saw that last week. i was actually planning to go to one last friday after my mall trip but it didn't work out.


jillian - i like colleen's suggestion as well :nod:

I second Colleen's suggestion Jillian. You guys are sucking me in.......NO, I won't be sucked in. I have an addiction:lol: I can't buy anything else until redemption time:lol:

Oooh I really like Colleen's suggestion too :nod:

We have a bunch of Priceless Kids by us too. I've seen some Gymbo. A few months ago, I saw some SP leggings, SCC leggings, and some AFTT and FS T-necks. Mostly 3's, 4's and 8's and 9's. Nothing to match up though. I suppose if you had stuff to match it to, it would work. I think each piece was $5.

I also agree with Colleen's suggestions. :nod:

ooo, yep, that's the dress. I was just shopping outfits, so I never even considered that combo... I like that, cause then he can be more formal for pictures and I can also get him the shorts to match for later! Thanks!

Colleen, when is Summer Fun coming out? I am loving the colors!!

Another question, Colleen... do you know if the Rise & Shine is going to be more restricted this time and how much do you have to buy to get an invite if it is? Thanks!!

Colleen, when is Summer Fun coming out? I am loving the colors!!

It's slated to hit stores this coming Tuesday, March 1st, and Wednesday, March 2nd. It could hit the website as early as Monday.

Another question, Colleen... do you know if the Rise & Shine is going to be more restricted this time and how much do you have to buy to get an invite if it is? Thanks!!

Usually it's $100, but I have also heard of instances of getting a coupon if you ask for one. I'll try to find out more for ya. :)

I have been lurking... I have my first 2 gymbucks to spend next week... thanks for the tips! :)

Here's Carolyn in Dandelion Wishes today (at Daddy's work :lol: )

Ok, I feel like an idiot, what is rise and shine?

I was wondering the same thing, Jillian! I am still pretty new to the whole Gymbo thing!

I think there was a sign up sheet in our store for the Rise and Shine. I dont there was any purchase necessary. I had to have the lady explain it to me. :)

And it is........? I too do not know what Rise and Shine is. Anyone?

Rise and Shine is a special sale they use to debut a new line. They usually will open the store a few hours early, and give you 25% to 30% off the new line. Usually, you need to have an invite to get in, but it depends. The cards are usually distributed via a $100 purchase made during a certain time frame. I don't work again til Monday, so I'll find out the scoop then.

The line that will debut with R&S (March 25th- March 27th) is the Bonjour Provence line (summer) for girls, the watermelon line (I can't remember the name) for girl layette, and Miami Vacation for family dressing. I'm sorry, I can't remember the boys or infant boys layette lines, but the boy's layette was some sort of rainforest theme and cute! Maybe it carried over to boys...I can't remember. :scratch:

Oh, and the rumored discount is 25% off the new lines then.

We went to the mall tonight to get formal pics of Alexis in her Christening gown [stay tuned Godmother Colleen]. After hitting the food court, we went downstairs to the play place.....guess where it is situated right in front of? GYMBOREE!!! This could become very dangerous for me when Ash wants to go play.

Believe it or not, I made it out of there only spending $18!!! I feel bad cause everything I got was for Ashton, not a thing for Alexis....I feel a guilt [shopping] trip coming on.

I bought:

GC - but she will wear it with the leggings above....it matches really well!

And I had to seriously restrain myself to not buy this dress:

http://www.gymbohaven.com/petitf11.jpg

It is gorgeous in person!!!!

Ok, I have a onepiece short sleeved long pants gymbo outfit that we bought at once upon a child when caid was a newborn. It is my favorite outfit and he is outgrowing it and I can't figure out what line it is. I'll post a picture after it washes, it is covered in yogurt right now. But, it is a navy blue outfit with gray on the neck and sleeves...then in orange writing it says "rockets" and has an orange rocket underneath it. It is older style, the pant legs don't unbotton all the way down.

Okay, so let me get this straight, they're doing a different sale because there's no Gymbucks redemption when the new lines come out? Another sales gimmick to put into my list of Gymboree-know-how. :lol: I talked to my Tier 1 store and the SA just got the info in on the R&S but hasn't had a chance to read over it but she said they just open up early and do a sale- no invites needed. Just another date to put on my calendar! I'm such a big fan of anything Provence. DH is getting nervous! :lol:

Do any of you Gymbo addicts have the Gymbo Visa? I got an email about it today and am just curious if its a good deal!

i went trolling at the children's orchard today. my finds:

and a pr. of gap jeans for $2.50 :lol:

Good finds Kim! I have that Winter Magic dress too.

I'm going to an upscale boutique consignment sale in 2 weeks and I can't wait! Here's their website... www.boutiquearmoire.com (http://www.boutiquearmoire.com) . Check out the items that are allowed and not allowed.

Damn, girl! :lol:

Our consignment shops always have the old, old Gymbo stuff. Like the 10 years old stuff. :lol:

Good finds!

i should note i spent an HOUR in the store to find these things :lol: it's a tiny store and it is packed to the friggen gills.

i saw a 3pc whale watching (overall, shirt and the light blue sweater) in size 4 for like $12 but the tag said 'stained'....so i didn't get it (originally thinking maybe someone here might want it). i also saw a baby boy gymbo sweater nwt for $5! no idea of the line, it was plain navy.

i was chatting a bit with another mom and she said the children's orchard in a different town is wayy bigger....now i'm plotting to go there soon :lol:


jenn- that is one snooty sale! :lol:

Darn! I wonder HOW stained it was! :)

Dang, they won't even take TCP stuff :lol:

Nice scores, Kim :aok: Our only Children's Orchard is way out of the way for us but they have good stuff sometimes. It's tiny too!

I want a snotty sale here too. :lol: Lucky! :)

Great score, Kim. Love the tea party set.

Darn! I wonder HOW stained it was! :)

well i probably should have gotten it!

it was this sweater, definately a size 4 cuz i looked.
http://gymbohaven.com/03whal17.jpg

this but not sure if it's a t-neck or not. there was certainly wash wear on this.
http://gymbohaven.com/03whal44.jpg

and these, which i found on GH in the baby section so they must have been a 3 huh? maybe the shirt and overalls were a 3t and the sweater bigger.
http://gymbohaven.com/03whal122.jpg

Dang, they won't even take TCP stuff :lol:



They won't even take Talbots. I haven't even heard of the majority of stuff they'll be selling but I heard that Gymboree is the low end of what they sell. I'm hoping more people will go for the high end stuff and leave me the Gymboree. :lol:

Nice stuff, Kim!

Someone needs to stop me, I got Ava a pair of matching shoes for the Sweet Chic outfits and Madelynn another outfit, but it's a 4, so it won't fit for awhile.

Cool score, Kim! Where is this place (or the other, larger one?)

We've got a consignment store down the road from us called Freda Bee. I've got to get there, I'm betting they have some Gymbo in there!

jenn- that is one snooty sale! :lol:

We HAD a consignment like that that just closed. The owner told one of my friends that she was closing because the people around here just "didnt understand and appreciate good clothing" :rolleyes:
Hey lady, I know good clothing. :lol:

That is pretty funny about the unacceptable brands... while I love Gymboree, sometimes my favorite things are from Old Navy :) And, some of our favorite shoes are from Target!! GASP!!

I am shocked that Talbots is considered an unacceptable brand. :eek:

Ever since Kim solved my mystery of the line that Caroline's favorite leggings are from, I have been frantically searching Ebay to get them!! I finally had them in at least size 18-24, which would be an improvement over the 12-18 size she is squeezing into, and at the very last second, someone got them! I wasn't too sad because they were part of a lot of clothes I really didn't want, but I cannot find them in 2T, which is what I really want!!! I did get some in size 4, but those won't fit forever, she is still OK in 18-24 and 2T is kind of long now that the diapers are gone...I'm just bummed... I posted an ISO at Gymborebel, but I'm not hopeful. It's an old line, Nov. 2001, before Caroline was even born! Anyway, just posting my disappointment... here they are if anyone ever stumbles on them:

http://gymbohaven.com/01wint29.jpg

She wore them yesterday... her undies hang out, they look like capris, but she won't give them up!! She told me she'll give them to Courtney when we find a bigger size.

Cool score, Kim! Where is this place (or the other, larger one?)


i was at the children's orchard in milford. but the chick i was talking to said the one in natick is better. i was THIS close to stopping in there today since i was at the natick mall, but with redemption coming up i figured i better lay off :lol: or marc will say something (he hasn't yet). plus i had both kids and the thoughts of tony in there gave me the hives.

i was in gymboree today and bought nothing! go me! :lol: i am nervous because this store was out of the froggie DW shirt i want. i need to case the store near me before redemption to see what they have. dare i say i might do a hold? :lol:.

bonnie, i can post an ISO on the gymbo loop for you if you want.

Bonnie (or Kim) - what line is that?

it's winter sparkle :biggrin:. i had to search back :lol:.

Kim, that would be fantastic. I really want 2T, because she that will fit her for a LONG time. I really cannot believe she still gets herself into the 12-18 size.

here's a 3t if you're stocking up :lol:


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15635&item=4705249829&rd=1


ok, i put an iso on the gymbo loop and guess what? those didn't come in 2t!!! they went straight to 3t from 18-24.

That's strange, Kim!

here's a 3t if you're stocking up :lol:

ok, i put an iso on the gymbo loop and guess what? those didn't come in 2t!!! they went straight to 3t from 18-24.

Gymbo didn't start making a 2T until Folk Song, so that's why you can't find them in a 2T. The old sizing ran a little bigger, so an 18-24 would also encompass a 2t as well.

today i put the 'mad about plaid' dress i bought at the children's orchard on gianna. it's a 3-6 and i would say it's the same size as the 6-12 HnS dress she had on yesterday! so ya, the sizing is definately more generous on the older lines.

oh, and i love the dress! so cute on.

it's winter sparkle :biggrin:. i had to search back :lol:.

Ya think I would have known that. Miss N was wearing Winter Sparkle this week :lol:

That is kinda scary, considering I've been buying ahead based on how she's fit into the stuff we already have :eek: Crap. I hope it all fits!!!

Can someone post an ISO for me on GR or anywhere else you might go?

I am looking for the Grown with Love Denim Ankle Pants in 18-24m or 12-18m but would prefer the larger size. I am currently watching one listing I found on Ebay that comes with a shirt but I really just want the pants! Thanks

Dang, they won't even take TCP stuff :lol:

Nice scores, Kim :aok: Our only Children's Orchard is way out of the way for us but they have good stuff sometimes. It's tiny too!

There is one here in the STL area? I was starting to get jealous that we didnt have one.:lol: Where is it?

i love this dress so i had to take a pic of her in it. navy is really her color. (just like her dad)

pretend i'm not in the pic, i look like a cow.

btw: those are gymbo tights that karri sent her when she was born. i only have 2pr of these but i really like the quality :nod:

i took this last night because she was chillin' with her dad like this for like an hour...dress hiked up and all :lol:. that's the HnS mushroom dress with matching tights.

i've totally come around on dresses. i thought i wouldn't buy them too much but they are too damn cute to resist!

here's a 3t if you're stocking up :lol:

ok, i put an iso on the gymbo loop and guess what? those didn't come in 2t!!! they went straight to 3t from 18-24.

I just found that out too... I can't believe they didn't come in 2T... How weird.... so I am working on some Ebay auctions and I had an offer of a pair of 3s in GUC for cost of shipping on GR, so I am getting those and am going to keep lokking for 18-24... I did get some NWT in size 4 on Ebay, so I think I am almost in good shape! ... How weird is that not to come in 2T... no wonder I couldn't find them! Thanks for your help and your detective work! :)

Gymbo tights are great. They dont pill like the Gap tights do. And they hold up so well thru all the washings :aok:

NEW LINES ARE UP!!!!! :bolt:

I MUST have the flamingoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it doesn't look like layette is up yet but if you use the search and put in 'watermelon' you can see the whole line....i am loving it!

i really like summer fun too....but kid girl is definately better than baby girl! i love that 'boardwalk' tee!

Oh AWESOME.... :bolt: :bolt:

Okay... How can they be out of a size already???? :crazy:

This doesn't come in a 4? Come ON!!!! :disbelief

Lette, it takes them awhile to get everything up and straightened out when they put a new line up. I'm sure it will be fixed.

Well, it looks like they are still missing a bunch of pieces from the lines....

My first impressions? Too much white, especially for layette. I really thought I'd like watermelon more than I do. However, usually I change my mind when I see it in person.

I love a TON of the bathing suits though! :lol:

Not sure I'm liking that pink/green floral print in summer fun. Again, I need to see it in person.

What does everyone else like?

There is one here in the STL area? I was starting to get jealous that we didnt have one.:lol: Where is it?

It's off 141 in the plaza just north of Gravois Bluffs (it sits on the right if you go south on 141, just before 30). It's right in the far south corner of that plaza).

I agree, Janelle's black gymbo tights are still black!

I assume these are cotton?
http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/140001208?$240x305$

They almost have a polyester look to them (probably the print). I really like that green top too. I'm still choosing and trying to find the things I'd picked out from the look book :lol:

Damn, you people are fast!

I'm loving that striped dress. I might have to get it in a 3 and see if it's too big for Emma.

I think we'll need to take a group picture of all of the OUAL girls in that green top and floral green pants- I think we're all going to wind up getting it! :lol:

They keep adding more stuff. Kid Girl is up to 5 pages now in SF.

Woo hoo!! I knew that couldn't be everything.

Ummmm....I started adding stuff to my shopping cart.

The outfits, socks, hair pretties, and swimsuit I want for Avery adds up to $160. :eek: That's before my discount, but still! Yikes! And I didn't even pick out stuff for Sabrina yet! The good thing is I usually end up buying a lot, and then trying it all on her, and then taking some back. So, we'll see. Plus, I need to like it in person, too.

We won't be in it - Caroline looks awful in that bright green. :dead: We'll stick to the mainly pink stuff! :)

I just about died when I saw those....I had a ton of those because I had long hair, and my Mom knew someone who made them! :lol2:

:lol: Colleen! I used to make them all the time! Geez, I should make a bunch and charge 1/2 of what Gymbo charges....

I like this for Sabrina:

But I'm going to hold off on stuff for her. For 2 reasons:

1. I'm not exactly sure if she'll be wearing the 12-18 or 18-24 for summer. Righ now she's 28 3/4 inches and 20lbs 10oz. 12-18 is still big, except for onsies.

2. The smaller sizes hang around longer, so I may be able to get this stuff cheaper than my discount for her.

Although now that I look at it again, I think it would be super cute for both girls! I need help! :lol: And I didn't even think I'd like much of this line.... :tongue2:

I love that top. The look book showed it with these:

I think I'll have to see the outfit in person.

This was my original fav from the look book, but I'm not liking it as much on the website for some reason.

So now I'm starting over :lol:

You guys are way too fast!

:bolt:

I took a quick look. I like a lot of things but haven't fallen in love yet. Please keep posting your picks!

I'm feeling the same way about the Summer Fun stuff. :updown:

Except for that DRESS I posted! I love that!

I'm skipping pants with this line since I went with pants and short sleeved tops with DW and WFF. I'm looking at shorts and tops now. Which they won't wear until at least June. :lol:

I went back for one last Gymbuck last night! I bought more DW in size 4 (b/c I am all ready too stocked up on size 3 :) ) in the hopes that it would be marked down more today and I could get a PA... and also get $150 worth of stuff during redemption... I really planned to sit this Gymbuck round out, oh well!

I am just awful with sizes. I want to get Alyssa some things but I don't know what size shorts to get her. She is so tiny especially with underware now. Last year she still wore her 6-12 mo. shorts. I am guessing she might even still wear 12-18 and 18-24 mo. shorts this summer (she wears size 3T pants). She has longer legs but that isn't necessary in shorts. I just don't know what size to go for. I might just have to take her in and try stuff on. Is she really to that point already :lol:

Jayne

Wasn't there a green sweater with flower in the look book? All I see is a pink in kid girl and white in baby girl...

Well, on the 18th I ordered the green easter dress and an outfit for a gift, on the 21st they called me and told me that due to a glitch online my order didn't go through, and they got permission to re-place the order for me...on friday I got them...well fed ex just came to my door with a package...and guess what, it's the same thing, the dress and outfit...I checked my statement very carefully and unless it hasn't went through yet (and the first one went through on the 25th) they did not charge me twice...

If it is at all helpfull janelle is 33 inches tall and 21lbs and is wearing 12-18 month shorts, but only with a cloth diaper on, with a disposable she is wearing 6-12 still, and if I put underwear on her even those wouldn't fit.

So Jillian, are you keeping both? :lol:

Hello 2nd grade again :lol:

OMG! I think I remember how to make those!!!! I used to make them in all different colors :lol2:

We used to make them for 5th and 6th grade cheerleading... I seriously think I could still do it! Hmmm.... how much is Gymbo selling those for?

I don't know how much SF I'm going to end up with during GB redemption... I have 3 gymbucks... I do love the big flower sweater and the pink and green ribbon tanks... plus the skorts, but I still really like some of the WFF And DW, so it may be more cost effective to get more of that... then I also need to see what sizes I still have from last years sales!! I may just start to stock up on size 4 except for maybe one or two really cute things. Decisions decisions...

So Jillian, are you keeping both? :lol:

Well actually...I am keeping the one thing. I ordered the my pet goldfish outfit as a gift and though I think it is too babyish for a 2 1/2 year old, Janelle doesn't agree...and how can you say no when it makes them this happy.

But I'll return the green dress for store credit most likely.

Ok, I have never seen anything like those (and have to admit to not really liking them either)...and I had long hair!

I can't believe I am saying this....I think I am going to pass on buying stuff for Norah. I have so damn much for her that it isnt even funny. I think i am going to buy for the boys.

I think I will get these for Aidan

jillian - you are probably too young :lol2: I think I was in, um, 4th grade & 5th grade when they were super popular (i am 31 now).

I don't know how much summer stuff I should buy. It doesnt really get that warm here and when it does its not for very long. :dunno: Some of that stuff is really cute though!

Alysia, don't you get similar weather to me? Emma was in summer clothes all from about May until September. We had some really hot days in July. I remember how hot it was on her birthday.

This weekend I made a great ebay purchase. An older line , Indigo Floral. 4 piece lot for 12$ :) :

Love some of the pants/capris but Emma has enough so I a focusing more on shorts.

I think so, Eva. I just remember being pretty hot in July last year and that was about it!

I am not really too impressed with SF. I like a few of the pieces but not much. ABL is starting to grow on me though.

Alright, here are my initial picks:

http://www.gymbohaven.com/summer71.jpg http://www.gymbohaven.com/summer60.jpg

And I love this dress! But I told myself I wasn't buying any more dresses since my sister just sent a ton of summer dresses. Even Lauryn said she has enough dresses! :lol:

And I love this one too:

Question for you guys:
I've got the GC striped dress and I'm ready to clean it. When I handwashed it the last time, the colors just bled. The SM said I was the only one who had that problem so she took it back. Got the new one. Don't know if I should just get it dry cleaned. I'm not sure I want to take a chance on bleeding again. what do you think?

Dont dry clean it. Waste of money BIG TIME. Buy shout color catchers. Wash it accoriding to tags. even if it bleeds a bit, the catchers will catch the bleeding and it wont ruin the dress.

Got some good things on Ebay from Whale Watching... one of my favorites in 2T (we have 18-24):
http://gymbohaven.com/03whal50.jpg


And a cute top in size 3:


http://gymbohaven.com/03whal6.jpg
I love Whale Watching :) I got a couple of really cute raincoats from that line too. This one in size 4:
http://gymbohaven.com/03whal74.jpg

and this one in size 3:
http://gymbohaven.com/03whal114.jpg

The following items I found out are Tier 1, 2 and online. Which means my store is NOT getting them. :( I decided to say the heck with it and I am placing my whole order online and not fight with all of the Gymbuck shoppers.

For those of you who liked the pants (the blue/green floral) those are Tier 1,2 and online only as well.....

Plus, the curly loops and socks I like to match are also the same as above.

OH NO!! I dont wantt o travel all the way to the closest tier one store just to get an outfit.

I stopped by the store close to my work today and they are not putting any of the SF out until Thursday... they said they are trying to discourage people from putting everything on hold before GB redemption because it's not fair when people put stacks and stacks of stuff on hold... I agree with that, but may still put a few DW and WFF on hold... believe me, with 3 gymbucks, I'm certainly not getting piles of stuff :)

I think I'm going to do online ordering too!

Can you believe I live near a major city (Philly) and have FIVE Gymboree's and they're all Tier 3 and under???? :wtf:

Never mind... I did a search on google and this thread popped up as the first link :rotflmao:

The one I'm going to Thursday at lunch is tier 1 :woo:

I think I'm going to do my gymbucks online tomorrow...right now this is what is in my bag. It will probably change though cause every day another one of the sale priced items sells out it seems.

ugh! mine's a tier 3 :complain: .


i just checked gh and they have 3 tier 2's listed but they are quite a distance for me :( (keep in mind i have 5 stores within about 40 mins of me, all tier 3).

they really should cut the tier crap!

Don't forget...if you go in and do a "save a sale" in your store, they can get the Tier 1, 2 and online stuff sent to your home with no shipping charges. Then you'll just have to send your receipt with your gymbucks to corp for a refund. Not hard to do.

Jillian: Make sure that online purchase takes place March 3rd or after if you are redeeming gymbucks. Other wise, they won't honor them.

Kim, ITA about the Tiers. They claim it's due to space (which I can believe) but it's also based on sales volume.

Kim, I can't believe you guys don't have a Teir 1! :scratch: That stinks! My closest Tier 1 is in Columbus OH, and Cinci, OH.

i think the one in boston is probably tier 1. but i'm certainly not venturing in there just for gymbo :lol:.

i can't make up my mind what to do :lol: online or drive? hmmmm :scratch:

Can you believe I live near a major city (Philly) and have FIVE Gymboree's and they're all Tier 3 and under???? :wtf:


Have you actually checked the stores...the link in this thread said all our local ones were tier 2, but one of them is actually tier 1.

I've only checked 2. I should really give a call to King of Prussia. It's in between my home and work and it's one of the largest malls on the East Coast. You would think it would be a Tier 1 for sure~! :nod:

Yea, I'll wait till I get the e-mail about redeeming gymbucks.

I'd think so...jeesh, we went there because it was suggest by our hotel when we went to sesame place, I mean the place is a dang tourist attraction, you'd think they'd have a tier 1 store... The gymbo that was right by sesame place though had amazing sales when we were there, they had really old lines left in a lot of sizes if you ever wanted to drive out there just to check it out...I ended up spending like $150 there and getting over 10 outfits.

i think the one in boston is probably tier 1. but i'm certainly not venturing in there just for gymbo :lol:.

i can't make up my mind what to do :lol: online or drive? hmmmm :scratch:

The one at the Prudential Center is a Tier 3! :crazy: I called myself, because my IL's were there a few months ago and I wanted MIL to traffick Gymbo for me. :lol: I think she said the Tier 1 was in Braintree? Would that be right?

Have you actually checked the stores...the link in this thread said all our local ones were tier 2, but one of them is actually tier 1.

I agree. Your best bet is to call the store and ask a manager what Tier it is.

Well, I've decided I'm going to my local Tier 3 store at lunch to check the merchandise out first. I just want to get a handle on what some of the fabrics look like in person.

I still may do my online shopping after that. :crazy: (on the 3rd of course :) )

gymbohaven lists braintree as a tier2. it's a big huge mall so they would get a ton of sales :nod: this is the store i might go to sunday. my mom is not terribly far from there and i can drop the kids with her first :lol:

I only have 1 gymbuck burning a hole in my pocket. I am still undecided if I will get something from a new line or get something from DW! I think it is my all time favorite right now!

Dont dry clean it. Waste of money BIG TIME. Buy shout color catchers. Wash it accoriding to tags. even if it bleeds a bit, the catchers will catch the bleeding and it wont ruin the dress.

So do you put the color catcher in the washer in addition to the detergent? I normally just handwash and hang dry the good Gymboree stuff. Can I use it for handwashing?

:omg: :omg: :omg:

I just came back from Gymboree and I've got my HOLD all ready for Thursday!

I can't believe how much better it all looked in person! Summer Fun... or it is now Spring Fun ?

That dress that I posted is so awesome! I thought it was going to be that wrinkly cotton material and it turns out its stretchy!!! LOVED IT!

Now my problem is guessing sizes! Do I do size 3 or size 4. :crazy:
How much will my daughter grow between now and summer!?

I'll be back with what I selected. :sunny:

Lyndee-- I just washed mine according to the directions (No hand washing) and it came out fine. :dunno:

Lette~ Can't wait to see what you put on hold!

Now I've got to figure out my $100 worth! I BET I'm over! :owow:
