QOTD: How many outfits do you buy for your kids per "season?" (Spring, Summer, Fall, winter?) (All outfits, not just Gymbo.)

:woo: Colleen, you come up with the best titles. :lol:

I have no clue how many outfits I buy per season. I'm going to guess that Peyton has at least 30-40 outfits for this summer. :disbelief Lindsey has less and I'd say that she's around 15 outfits. I don't think Peyton will have that many outfits for this fall/winter but who knows.

:faint: Part 6!?!?! :lol:

My answer to the question, too many! :lol: I don't keep track.

Could someone please post pictures of the other new lines that someone said they had on GR? Pretty please! :blush:

Congrats on subbing! :awink: :yippee:

Do you mean the pictures of Teacher's Pet? The pink and brown kitty stuff?

QOTD: How many outfits do you buy for your kids per "season?" (Spring, Summer, Fall, winter?) (All outfits, not just Gymbo.)
Uh, I honestly don't count. If I did....I know that the # would be high...very high. :lol: Alexia does need an entire new fall/winter line (and it's slowly building up! ;) ). Last year she was wearing 18 mos. and 24 mos. so she's needing bigger sizes this year. I just buy until I think she's stocked plenty :lol:

Besides Gymbo clothes, her other outfits come from Macy's, Baby Phat, some J-Lo, and TCP and ON.

QOTD: How many outfits do you buy for your kids per "season?" (Spring, Summer, Fall, winter?) (All outfits, not just Gymbo.)

For Matthew: I don't buy much as my friend gives me all her son's clothes that will fit Matthew (then I give them back because she's having another boy next month :) ). This summer he had 40 shirts and about 30 pairs of shorts. Some I did buy on clearance but most was passed from her. CRAZY!!

For Sara: The girl has some clothes :lol: Between Kim and Mandi passing stuff on to me and then me loving the girl clothes thing... I'd say at LEAST 30 outfits each season, maybe more :blush:

Caleb probably has about 30 summer outfits anf five pairs of shoes. The shoe thing just kills my husband who thinks he needs one pair. ONE PAIR?

QOTD: How many outfits do you buy for your kids per "season?" (Spring, Summer, Fall, winter?) (All outfits, not just Gymbo.)

Part 6 already? :eek: Um Jayden has TOO many and Michael is working on TOO many for the fall/winter since Shannan sent me so much, and I can't stop shopping! and YOU GUYS AREN'T Helping. God help me if I ever have a girl! :lol:

QOTD: How many outfits do you buy for your kids per "season?" (Spring, Summer, Fall, winter?) (All outfits, not just Gymbo.)

Way too many! And I have a boy...I can't imagine what it would be like if I was actually getting a girl!

Great title, Colleen!

Part 6 already? :faint: How's the possible?!

Ummmm I have no idea how many outfits the kids have. :dunno: LOTS though. Brayden probably has the most right now since Nocona & Karri hooked me up with their boy's clothes. Plus I can't seem to stop buying for him. :lol:

I'm already all filled up on 6-12 fall/winter (after I buy a last chunk from Kim) :(

QOTD: How many outfits do you buy for your kids per "season?" (Spring, Summer, Fall, winter?) (All outfits, not just Gymbo.)

tony has about 15 summer 'outfits', if you put shirt with shorts, but then he has more shirts, maybe 20 total.

i know i've posted this before, but i keep 2 seperate wardrobes for gianna. she has daycare stuff and gymbo/naartjie stuff. i never put gymbo/naart on her during the week (oh and tony doesn't wear his limited gymbo to daycare either).

so, i would say she has 15 gymbo outfits for summer, and at least 20 for daycare. (most of the daycare stuff was bought by my mom).

i have 2 outfits for fall/winter so far for tony and at least 20 for gianna :blush1: (and i haven't bought any fall daycare stuff yet). i've been 'collecting' since the end of last season and got some killer deals.

As far as how many outfits go, the boys are sharing a closet now that is about 6-8 feet long and I group their outfits on a hanger, and the closet is packed. I don't think I could stomach counting :lol:

We are given a lot of clothes by a friend, and she has lots and lots of playclothes (mostly onsies and shorts)...other than that I'd say she still has about 15-20 outfits for summer, 10-15 for fall, and 15-20 for this winter! :eek: Of course, I still want more.

I guess I might be skipping the layette lines tomorrow. I just don't know about the gamble with the boots in PZ. The boots are my favorite part. And the other line I like but not well enough to pay full price. Of course, I say that NOW....we'll see what I actually end up with.

All you ladies buying in KG better be ready to resell! I love KG so much more than BG, but I can't afford to buy that far ahead! I'll be waiting for the handmedowns!

Bretta...we are in 6-12 month now, and not sure if we need anymore, but we might need a little more for fall if that's what you have.

I don't think I really want to count! Although I did count shoes last week and Maggie has 14 pairs that fit her right now! :omg: It doesn't help that my mom buys her a new pair about every other week! :)

My lord - that was a fast moving thread!!! :eek:

Oh god - I couldnt even begin to count nor do I want to. :lol:

ETA - Aidan definately gets the short end of the stick. He has the least clothes because he is hard on them and gets them so dirty. So he has a few 'nice' things and then a lot of playclothes.

QOTD: How many outfits do you buy for your kids per "season?" (Spring, Summer, Fall, winter?) (All outfits, not just Gymbo.)

I have never counted. But 15-20 sounds about right. Although I think I have more than that for fall/winter. Hence why I do NOT need to use my GBs!

I have never counted ....They each have play clothes and good clothes. And usually both boys end up with more shirts and shorts LOL.


For fall, both will need new jeans...probably 4 pairs each..I usually have two many shirts LOL.

I am only going to be doing a few outfits of Gymbo for the girls for this fal.....Ashton is killer on her knees on pants, and with Alexis in crawling mode....I don't want Gymbo stuff ruined, I would not be able to resell it. The rest will be Target/ON/JCPenneys.

I don't count either, but I do know that I WAY overbought for this summer. :lol:

I'm headed out at lunch today to do my holds! :woo: I'll report back with the goods! :)

Wow! Part 6 already????

Got my holds done when the mall opened this morning. Even had Lauryn with me so she tried on some things. (yeah, I couldn't believe it either-- she was actually really good about it!

I can't believe that last thread moved so fast!! I never even got a chance to post!!

I don't want to count how many Lauren has for the summer.. way too many. Over 20, I know that. I try to do better every season but it always gets out of control!! I have my stuff in my cart online for my gymbucks!!!!!!

Lyndee, I've had Katie do that a few times lately, just because I couldn't believe she actually needed a 6 in some things, and she did. :faint: Katie HATES it, though. :lol:

Hmmm....I have no idea how many outfits Katie has per season. I know I'm trying to buy her more playclothes right now, so that Phil can take her and not worry about getting her dirty, and so that she has things to wear to preschool in the fall. I don't really keep track of the outfits, though, and I'm glad I don't... :lol:

I'm headed to Gymbo this afternoon (a Tier 1 store) with a friend to do holds, and my MIL is going back tomorrow to pick them up, since I have to work all day tomorrow. So, actually, I should probably go through Katie's fall clothes and figure out what we have before I go, so I can be realistic about what to buy. :lol:

Okay, I didn't think I liked that much :eek: I'm in TROUBLE! Opps! Okay, boy moms what do you think will sell fast? and what do you think I can wait on? Let me try to post my "wish list"

The total on this is $160 and I only have 2 gymbucks. So what would you wait on? Hopefully I just won't like the quality of some of it or something

QOTD: How many outfits do you buy for your kids per "season?" (Spring, Summer, Fall, winter?) (All outfits, not just Gymbo.)

I would say I buy more in the Spring and summer than fall and winter for the kids. Right now, Olivia is only 5 months old but she probably has 35 complete outfits for Spring :blush: Ethan has about 20-25 outfits for fall/winter and Olivia has about 20 for fall right now


My mom called me and was at Gymboree to pick up a baby gift and told me she was buying Olivia everything from IAGT except for the dress. She loves the pink and the bows. So I didn't argue with her... I told her I hadn't seen the line yet since I was headed to our Tier one in the afternoon tomorrow since my normal store where my holds are is not a Tier one.

Reguarding the clothes I am considering selling they are all fall/winter :nod: That was the size madison and Savannah were in just two years apart ;)


Yeah!! size 6-12 would be what I would love to see:blush:

Congrats on subbing! :awink: :yippee:

Do you mean the pictures of Teacher's Pet? The pink and brown kitty stuff?
Thank you, I am so glad I saved enough to get my 1yr sub! Yes I would love to see the other new lines coming out beside the teal stuff.

Aidan is in LOVE with the construction zone tops! YAY!! Not my fave, but hey...if it makes him happy, then that is what I'll spend my GBs on. Plus I have a $25 GC. I am shooting to aply that towards the total. For now, here is what I plan on getting for Aidan :
From CZ

And then to get to $100, the Daddy's Girl shirt for Norah for next spring/summer *if* they have it. If not, I am sure I can find something for her for next summer for $12-15 :lol:

The total on this is $160 and I only have 2 gymbucks. So what would you wait on? Hopefully I just won't like the quality of some of it or something

WWID? I would not buy the grey sweatshirt for Jayden (i wouldnt even wait - i just wouldnt get it). Its got that teeny thing on it, but other than that, its just a grey sweatshirt. You can get a grey sweatshirt anywhere. Not worth the $.

I cannot believe how fast this goes!!! Based on the popularity of that CG duster, I better run over to Gymbo ASAP to do my holds!!! Colleen, I may go with pink too, but I just love the versatility of the denim! I guess I'll see what I like IRL...

As for # of outfits, NO CLUE!!! Just way too many clothes... I don't go for outfits really, I just try to get as much that can mix and match. We have TONS of clothes!!

Hi all! Gosh that was fast!

Bretta, I'm also interested in 6-12 months. :)

Karri, I think you are right.

No idea of how many outfits; I don't count. We generally only have 2-3 Gymbo outfits at a time, though. Guess I'm not as big a nut as some! (actually I do like tons of it, just can't afford it :) - DH is not as forgiving as some others about it! :nono: )

My plans for tomorrow:

http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/140002489?$240x305$ (javascript:OpenWin('http://www.gymboree.com/shop/prod_close_up.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=2931801&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2947877&bmUID=1121878302952&prodview=REGULAR','615','695','yes');) http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/140002517?$240x305$ (javascript:OpenWin('http://www.gymboree.com/shop/prod_close_up.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=2931045&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2947877&bmUID=1121878314593&prodview=REGULAR','615','695','yes');)
(Caroline went completely BANANAS over this shirt when I showed her!)

And then I'm trying to decide on what from RG because our store didn't have much of it.... :scratch:

i definately buy more winter since that's like 10 months out of the year here lately :rolleyes:.

i have a few 6-12 things i will be offering up here, including GWL, MZ, SG, BF, Little Skipper, TTT and HnS.

:up: Interested. I would like to add to my collection of of MZ. I am in search of the sweater and the jeans

Like Kim, we have a ton of winter outfits, since winter seems to last forever. I think they each have about 15 summer outfits, plus a few summer dresses, and a few outfits designated for messy play.

They have about 8 spring or fall outfits. Meaning long lightweight pants with a short sleeved top. Spring around here is iffy, and fall never is consistent. Those seasons are the shortest, so they have the least amoutn of outfits.

I need summer stuff here more than winter stuff.

I have $110 in my cart right now, can't really seem to tweak it down any less. I have 2GB's, a GC from returns for $24, and a $10 cert from the visa, plus the 5% visa discount. Ashton and Alexis will each get 2 outfits, but I have a bunch of GWL for them already. The rest of their stuff will be playclothes. I won't do gymbo on days they are at Lillian's.......she often makes spaghetti.....nuff said right there.

I have to do inventory of what is new and what is hand me downs for Alexis. I think Ashton will get more new stuff than Alexis will.

I took some pics of Kira outside today while I was working in the garden...the hat's not gymbo, but the rest is!

I might be interested in some GWL if there are any pieces that woudl transition the above outfit into fall! All I have of this line is what you see plus a long sleeve radish shirt.

QOTD: How many outfits do you buy for your kids per "season?" (Spring, Summer, Fall, winter?) (All outfits, not just Gymbo.)

:blush: Do I have to tell? My goal is between 14 and 25...but they usually end up with more, many many many more...

This brings me to what I've been meaning to ask. Let's see some fall wardrobes, what you have already and what you are in search of!

Ya know... I don't even want to count!!! I know I buy a lot more summer than anything else since we live in FL.

I should post a photo sometime of how ridiculous my kid's closet is!!

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d901b3127cce92bfb931871f00000016108AbMnDlm4ctt .


So cute!! I love that outfit. I had some GWL stuff for this fall for Abby that I have collected up from ebay, I don't have those jeans but I want to get them for her. They are so cute!!!

BTW... if anyone is parting with any 18-24m fall/winter girls items I would be interested. I'm currently sticking up from ebay. Plus I have to get her some warmer clothes by Sept because we are going to Colorado for vacation and our stores barely have any winter clothing out at that time here, so I have to do my shopping online.

You can not use MC's (the gift card from doing returns) during gymbucks.

This brings me to what I've been meaning to ask. Let's see some fall wardrobes, what you have already and what you are in search of!


ISO: Cute as a button pants in a 6-12 and MZ jeans and sweater in a 6-12. Panda pants/jeans in 6-12

For fall so far:

lots of Hns: I have almost every piece but the sweater
Mod Zebra: zebra pants, green shirt, white zebra shirt, green ruffle pants.
CAAB: velour suit, striped sweater
Its a girl thing: everything but the dress
CG: pink ruffle pants, flower leggings, flower shirt, blue pants with flowers,
TL: red ruffle pants, cream shirt with tiger on it, basic red shirt,
GC: lots in 6-12 and then in 12-18
panda: sweater, velour outfit, pj's, 2 other shirts,
GK: kitty pants, fur trimmed sweater, shirt
SC: striped pants, and heart shirt

Need to check to see what else I have


For late winter, early spring is where most of my gymbo collection is right now 12-18 months

Olivia's closet. she is only 5 months old right now :blush1:

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d828b3127cce927a07a2e7f700000016109BaOGjZu1A

I just went through Katie's clothes so I could plan what to put on hold this afternoon, and I think I am actually going to get the CG sweater coat. It's growing on me. :lol:

Also ISO of Groovy Valentine Sweater in a 12-18 months. I just got outbid on one by 50 cents... UGH!!! I have the pants and really want the sweater for her first birthday pictures since her birthday is 2-17.


Lisa

Look what I just "won" on Ebay :jump: for 3.74!!!!!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4749080897&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOAB:US:6
too bad it won't fit for awhile :blush:

WOW, I come home to find Part 6 and its already 3 pages long! :omg:

Hmmm...I'd say Katie has b/w 15-20 spring/summer outfits but I repeatedly put her in 1/2 of them (since they are my faves :blush: ). Chase has tons of shorts and shirts, some from last year which he still fits in...so I don't know how many "outfits" he has. LOTS of play clothes though since he's rough on them AND we're PTing. No Gymbo for him right now!!

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d901b3127cce92bfb931871f00000016108AbMnDlm4ctt

What a cute picture, and adorable outfit!! I have never liked GWL, but after seeing this picture, I think I love it!!!

Olivia's closet. she is only 5 months old right now :blush1:

Oh yeah!! She's looking spoiled!!!! Good job on that!:thumbsup: Nothing wrong with being spoiled... Abby is!
Abby's closet had one rack like that and then I bought so many clothes that DH had to go to Home Depot and buy the stuff to add another rack. :blush1:

I have quite a few things for fall already.
1 Poppies Outfit
3 Vacation Time outfits
1 Sunflower Fields Outfit
1 Sugar Cookie Outfit
1 or two DW outfits (I cant remember if I bought the jeans or not?)
1 Giraffe Club Sweater Dress
1 HNS outfit
1 HNS sweater dress
1 Sweet Romance Outfit
1 Bubble Fun Outfit
2 Indian Summer Outfits
2 Apres Ski outfits
1 TTT outfit (she already wears it now but its a little big)
3 Portabello Road outfits
2 Whale Watching outfits
1 Sporting Green outfit



I have a few Non Gymbo things as well.. and there are a few more Gymbo things I am watching on Ebay but don't necessarily need

So far for fall I have:

Poppies overalls w/ matching WW shirt (line mixing!)
WW floral pants/shirt/sweater
JF overalls & onsie (looking for the other pants/shirt/sweater outift)
FT sweater dress
Playroom dress and pants (don't love these at all)

Wow....not much for our cold, long New England fall/winter season. I did put all of this on hold for tomorrow though, so we'll have a few more outfits!

Kath reminded me that I have a Poppies outfit! Will update my list!

:devilange

Good angel - no, no Bridget! Your son just pulled your laptop off on the floor and broke the plug. You need to spend $300 getting it fixed. Don't call Gymboree and be a bad, bad girl. Forget about those Gymbucks burning a hole in your purse. Do the right thing, forget the phone, go hug a puppy, and no more ice cream!

Bad angel - hey, it's no problem Bridget! You work hard, call them anyway. What's a little more money. You deserve it! Think how cute your kids will look! Just call and put your stuff on hold. That manager who was so nice to you will probably get FIRED if you don't buy all that stuff from her store. Her future is in your hands.

HOW'S IT GONNA END?

Kath reminded me that I have a Poppies outfit! Will update my list!

I am always happy to help. :lol: I love the Poppies stuff!

Bridget ~ :lol:

For anyone thinking about selling off their summer clothes, I am ISO of this shirt from Candy Apple in 12-18 months for Katie's birthday in October!!! If anyone has it, please keep me in mind!

http://www.gymbohaven.com/candya75.jpg

i'm think bridget will shop to ease the pain of the broken laptop :lol:


oh, are we compiling lists? :lol:

off the top of my head all NWT for fall/winter, all size 18-24 :

BF jeans, shirt, sweater
PC blue jumper and matching onesie
GC jumper
GC velour pants (iso pink top with ribbons on shoulder)
SC skirt, onesie, tights, denim purse
AS sweater, groovy pants, onesie, leggings, swing top
TL red heart dress and tights, velour striped dress, and tennies!
PP silver dress and matching shoes
GWL denim skirt, green striped sweater, denim hat, striped tights (i think), peapod purse, 2 s/s shirts to carry into spring, l/s onsie (ISO denim capris!)
DW frog leggings and white lap tee, corkers
PL wrap jacket, overalls bib and socks

and i have 6 or 7 naartjie outfits as well.

hmm...that seems like a lot for a kid who only wears it on weekends :lol:

Bridget :lol:

QOTD: How many outfits do you buy for your kids per "season?" (Spring, Summer, Fall, winter?) (All outfits, not just Gymbo.)

I have no idea. I don't count outfits. I just buy what I like (which most of the time is too much!!!!) I did buy too many things this summer (mainly SF) and I just found an SF dress today that she hasn't worn yet. BUT, the great thing about the summer wear is that she'll get to wear them again in November when we go to the Philippines-- it's summer all year over there!

Dawn--
I got the Paul Mitchell stuff at a salon. I"m not sure if it works better than the other stuff we had but DH swears by the Garnier Fructis-- Lauryn even asks for it by name now :lol: They have some creme conditioner for frizzy hair. You should be able to get it even at the grocery store.

Anyway,I ended up holding a size 3 in the sweater coat this morning. I can't say that I'm totally crazy about it but then again, the HnS coat really grew on me and I don't even remember seeing it at the store. The SA said that she thinks those coats will disappear fast so I thought I'd get one just in case it grows on me. :lol: (which it probably will).

Dawn-- I saw at GH that the coat is longer than the skirt. I don't know what to put with it yet either.

kath i have that top nwt in 6-12! damn! i accidently bought the wrong size (last winter during my first ever rhds) so now i have the red CA ladybug shortalls and no top.

Ok. Looking at my list I definitely think my GBs are going to go to waste. I think I would rather spend the money on some new toys for G because it seems like she is getting bored with what we have now.

Alyssa doesn't have much from Gymboree..just a few things here and there and normally not until they are on sale. (you all have helped me find things because you post sales!!!) I just won this DW 5 pc set last night! I am so excited!!!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4747717448&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

I love the CG sweater Coat but I just can't justify spending that much money on it. Hopefully I will find a good deal on one on Ebay later on or in the store.

Jayne

yikes! i dont even know what i have for fall! its all packed away in a bin in the attic :lol: maybe i'll dig it out this weekend and look thru it .

So cute!! I love that outfit. I had some GWL stuff for this fall for Abby that I have collected up from ebay, I don't have those jeans but I want to get them for her. They are so cute!!!

BTW... if anyone is parting with any 18-24m fall/winter girls items I would be interested. I'm currently sticking up from ebay. Plus I have to get her some warmer clothes by Sept because we are going to Colorado for vacation and our stores barely have any winter clothing out at that time here, so I have to do my shopping online.

Hey Tori - what size do you need in the jeans. We have them in I think 18 -24 months, worn maybe 4 times!

Hey Tori - what size do you need in the jeans. We have them in I think 18 -24 months, worn maybe 4 times!

I need 18-24 months!!! WHOOHOO!! Perfect size!

Alright --I let the kids playupstairs while I waded through one of the bins. Here's what I found for fall/winter:

Dandelion Wishes (NWT):
frog leggings
green dandelion leggings
blue/white striped 'dream' pant
navy shirt
'wish' ribbon shirt
hair do-dads

GWL (NWT):
Veggie legging
'peas please' shirt

Giraffe Club (NWT):
pink striped legging
striped shirt
peter pan collar shirt
barettes

BonVoyage: (courtesy of TtownAnne)
striped dress w/ kitty
blue shirt w/ kitty
white peter pan collar kitty shirt
polka dot legging
kitty pant


HNS striped stress
My pet goldfish shirt (NWT)
City Sidewalks pink/black polka dot dress (NWT)
Cherries pant and shirt
Tiger Love velour dress (NWT)
2 pcs from Whale Watching
some flowered dress that I cant find the line for! I got it from Anne.
and a sweater I cant identify right now, either.

I have some more that I bought used from a friend, but I accidentally left it at her house and cant remember what it was.

Egads. That doesnt take into account all the other crap I bought for Norah :blush: Plus the girl doenst even have bluejeans!

i've been wanting that BV striped dress karri but as you can see i'm a bit overloaded already :lol: i just love that line.

Here's what I have off the top of my head for the fall/winter from Gymbo:

1 EH outfit
1 Strawberry Patch outfit
1 Giraffe Club outfit
2 Tiger Club outfits on the way from Alysia

kim, if G would slow the fook down w/ her growing (and norah would speed it up!), i could give it to you when we're done! :lol:

I am on the way to the mall to put things on hold as soon as dh gets here... I've actually made a chart of what I want. :blush:

My ideal is to get...

IAGT ruffle sweater, chic tee, and bow hem pant in size 3.

BIS brown hooded romper 18-24

PZ tractor romper in 18-24 (or the wild west one...not sure which I like best yet)

CZ romper in 18-24

KH romper in 12-18
KH sweat suit in 12-18

Now if the IAGT stuff won't fit her (more than likey the case...but it's such a cute outfit!) my first choice alternate is the IAGT bow zip cardigan, chic tee, and knit pants in 18-24/2t (whichever fits best)...and then if that doesn't fit either (again, it probably won't) I'm going with the cg sweater dress, beret, and charms (plus I need to come up with $4 worth of stuff to hit $200)...but then if DH is still set against the dress I'll be getting the little man sweater, l/s onsie, overalls and socks and getting nothing for janelle (plus I need $5 worth of stuff to hit $200) The little man option is probably most likely.

Then if the KH stuff is too small to buy for this winter (since I really should be buying 18-24) I'm going to get the petting zoo horse rides onesie, the sheriff jammies and boot slippers, and whiche of the two rompers (PZ/WW) I didn't get before...

So, does anyone not think I'm pathetic. :lol:

kim, if G would slow the fook down w/ her growing (and norah would speed it up!), i could give it to you when we're done! :lol:

she will pass norah this winter i am sure. let's just say i am buying 2t for spring/summer next year :lol:. currently she's 29 inches and 21lbs :pig: at 10 months.

I'll take stuff for next year from Norah :lol: I think Sara will eventually pass her too at this rate :lol:

:devilange

Good angel - no, no Bridget! Your son just pulled your laptop off on the floor and broke the plug. You need to spend $300 getting it fixed. Don't call Gymboree and be a bad, bad girl. Forget about those Gymbucks burning a hole in your purse. Do the right thing, forget the phone, go hug a puppy, and no more ice cream!

Bad angel - hey, it's no problem Bridget! You work hard, call them anyway. What's a little more money. You deserve it! Think how cute your kids will look! Just call and put your stuff on hold. That manager who was so nice to you will probably get FIRED if you don't buy all that stuff from her store. Her future is in your hands.

HOW'S IT GONNA END?

I'm rooting for the bad angel! :lol: Retail therapy works wonders, you know? :awink:

I ran to Gymbo around lunch time to put a few things on hold and it's a good thing I did. My store got very little 3's in. I got most of the stuff I wanted but I'm still not sure I'm thrilled with everything.

I can't even remember everything I have for fall. I'll have to go through what I have soon and post it. I'd like to make a list anyway so I don't overbuy.

I'd like to make a list anyway so I don't overbuy.

i can't believe you just said that! :lol: ye of the bags and bags of gymbo from the coworker :lol2:...of course you are going to overbuy. we all do :nod:

Okay, I did my holds this afternoon. And as usual, I changed my mind on some stuff. :awink:

So, this is what I have on hold.

For Avery:

http://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l5.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l45.jpg
http://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l11.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l82.jpg

http://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l8.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l39.jpg
plus pink solid bow socks

http://www.gymbohaven.com/romant33.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/romant44.jpg
plus burgandy solid bow socks

For Sabrina:

http://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l53y.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l53ff.jpg
plus pink solid bow socks

http://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l5q3.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l53ii.jpg
plus blue solid bow socks

Total: $251.25. I'm $1.25 over, but if I drop the extra pair of basic socks, then I am $3 short. I could buy piddly stuff to ake up the $3, but I need the colored socks, so I'll suck it up and spend the extra $1.25. :lol:

For those of you who have kids who will fit into the CG sweater duster coat. BUY IT! It's adorable on, and if you end up not liking it or using it, then keep it to sell on Ebay. I have a feeling it's going to be one of those coveted things.

I tried it on Avery, and she wouldn't take it off.

she will pass norah this winter i am sure. let's just say i am buying 2t for spring/summer next year :lol:. currently she's 29 inches and 21lbs :pig: at 10 months.

She's growing like Sabrina! :eek: I'm buying 18-24's for her, and keeping what little I have left in 2t, because she'll wear it.

I am buying 2t for spring :lol:

I'm not doing a hold. I take Aidan to school tomorrow morning, so on my way back, I can get to Gymbo as it opens (i can be in the mall before it opens). So I am not worried. Besides, its boy stuff. Not nearly as popular as girly stuff :lol:

Ok, got my holds this AM! :up: I'll be back to post what we got! :yippee:

Well Bridget, I need another Gymbuck if you feel like sending one my way!

I went to do holds today and really didn't want to go over $150 since I have 3 Gymbucks. Here's what's on hold - it's definitely OVER my goal.

For Heather:
http://www.gymbohaven.com/pool2027a.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/pool2014a.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/pool2092.jpg

And the bulk for Carter:
http://www.gymbohaven.com/constr3.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/constr5.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/constr8.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/constr12.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/constr14.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/constr15.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/summera860.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/summerh86.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/summerm86.jpg

I think that's it. I am not sure what to put back. I think the boys stuff looks so much nicer at the store. Unfortunately that means I wanted more of it. I had to get at least one outfit for Girly.

This is what I have on hold right now...
http://www.gymbohaven.com/romant73nn.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/romant73o.jpg
http://www.gymbohaven.com/romant73i.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/romant73mm.jpg
http://www.gymbohaven.com/romant73c.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/romant73r.jpg

But, that takes me up to $164 and I only have 3 gymbucks to spend. I am trying to decide if I am just going to get it as I have it on hold OR trade out the last ribbon sleeveless shirt for the hat...
http://www.gymbohaven.com/romant73s.jpg
What I'd really like are some curly loops and socks, but my baby doesn't have enough hair yet! :( And I don't know if she will before we are done wearing this size.
I was not impressed with CG in the store. I love the colors, prints, and style, but I am disappointed with the thin fabrics. We DO live in a warm climate, but I'm thinking it's not worth it for me.
I'm glad I went in and did holds on the RG that I really wanted. I got the LAST one in every piece in her size! :thumbsup:

i can't believe you just said that! :lol: ye of the bags and bags of gymbo from the coworker :lol2:...of course you are going to overbuy. we all do :nod:

:tongue2: Ok, maybe I should say so I don't buy duplicates. :lol: I'm actually going to another old Gymbo coworker's house on Friday to go through whatever she has in 4's.

I love that orange sweater Brandi, or I should say Jordan does. We aren't going to be able to escape to without it :lol:
I did some holds today, by store was really low on the Wild West stuff, so I am going to have to hit another store to complete everything.
I think I am also going to place an online order tonight for a bunch of stuff for next summer, as my stores were pretty cleared out. I just hate how long it takes to get my $$ back after sending the Gymbucks in. So I am going to try to minimize what I buy online.

For whatever reason my Gymbo store is opening at 9 tomorrow, or so says the manager there. Do you think that's a special thing? It seems like someone here said that people for Gymbo music were getting in early so maybe she just let me come during that time. Our stores usually open at ten.

I really wish they would think of a better way to do gymbucks online!

No kidding - like a unique number on each Gymbuck that the system would recognize. You could only use it once, online or in the store. Doesn't sound like their system is that advanced, though. Someone on here said earlier they never got their Gymbucks online purchase refund so I'm not doing mine online. :thumbsdow

Brandi~ Do you really want another GB? You can have one of mine. I don't need to spend both of them!

Kim, does the Candy Apple ladybug shirt look like it runs big or small?? I love it and have shorts already. Hmmm, maybe I need it in 6-12 AND 12-18? :lol:

she will pass norah this winter i am sure. let's just say i am buying 2t for spring/summer next year :lol:. currently she's 29 inches and 21lbs :pig: at 10 months.

I'd love to put Katie & Gianna side by side. :lol: At 9 months (last week) she was 20 lbs 10 ounces, and 28.25 inches, so she'll be right with Gianna at 10 months! I just got a WW dress I won on ebay in 2T and it really doesn't look like it'd be that big! :lol:

Let me see I have most of Apres, HNS, TL and MZ for my dd, but still need a few items from them. Plus I did my holds today!

Ok this is what I have on hold for my dd, i'm sure I might need to add a few things and might take away something.

GymboreeGirl they are going to hold a parade in your honor! :rahrah:

Kim, does the Candy Apple ladybug shirt look like it runs big or small??

Thank you, still new to all of this stuff!;)

So I went to do my holds at a Teir 1 today and I was so disapointed. They had NOTHING on the rounders. I was going to get a lot of BIS but I did not like it in person. The brown hooded romper (which I was so excited about) was in a cheap thin fabric and kind of drab:boring: . So I went to my Tier 3 and they had TONS of boy stuff. I always find stuff there! They must be real slow, they still have the pirate stuff!

I am not getting anything in BIS. I was not impressed. The KZ was to die for so I got the sweatsuit and overalls. I got a lot of PZ and LM. They had lots of summer stuff left over but I can not bring my self to do that when I have no idea what size Anders will be in next summer:dunno:

Ok, here are my holds.

For Peyton...

Have you guys seen these sneak peek pics of GR? OMG, I'm loving the pinky-red color! I wonder if that's from Teacher's Pet?

FYI: Can everyone be aware when you are linking pictures to post no more than 4 of the small images or 1 large image across. It's making those of us with smaller monitors have to scroll right and left. Thanks!

Ok Kim, you are making me feel guilty that I am neglecting my DS's Gymbo-clothing needs! Do I need to check out the boy's clothes now???

Colleen, ITA, I love that pinky-red color! I am going to be broke by Christmas. :blush:

I have quite a few things for fall already.
1 Poppies Outfit
3 Vacation Time outfits
1 Sunflower Fields Outfit
1 Sugar Cookie Outfit
1 or two DW outfits (I cant remember if I bought the jeans or not?)
1 Giraffe Club Sweater Dress
1 HNS outfit
1 HNS sweater dress
1 Sweet Romance Outfit
1 Bubble Fun Outfit
2 Indian Summer Outfits
2 Apres Ski outfits
1 TTT outfit (she already wears it now but its a little big)
3 Portabello Road outfits
2 Whale Watching outfits
1 Sporting Green outfit



I have a few Non Gymbo things as well.. and there are a few more Gymbo things I am watching on Ebay but don't necessarily need

I did pretty well with this list from memory! I do have the 2nd DW Outfit!! I am so excited about that. And the only thing I forgot that we had is the Tiger Club Striped Velour Dress!

I LOVE my best friend. The Teacher's pet pinky/red color reminds me of the new line over at Janie and Jack

ok, i've decided what i'm getting with my gymbucks. are you ready? i'm buying for tony! :owow:

i want the fisherman sweater but i need to see it first, then i'll get a few longsleeve shirts. i really really like gymbo quality in the boys tees (vs. old navy).

are you shocked? i am :lol:

Wow Kim!!! You really have come to the dark side :lol:
I know that some people just don't get Gymbo for the boys, but I have been in love the last 2 years...
Who knows, maybe Tony will even become a metrosexual like Jordan :lol2:

Oh and I forgot to ask... What longsleeve shirts?

Dawn--
I got the Paul Mitchell stuff at a salon. I"m not sure if it works better than the other stuff we had but DH swears by the Garnier Fructis-- Lauryn even asks for it by name now :lol: They have some creme conditioner for frizzy hair. You should be able to get it even at the grocery store.

Dawn-- I saw at GH that the coat is longer than the skirt. I don't know what to put with it yet either.

I used to use garnier fructis (from seeing pictures I seem to have the same hair as alexis and lauryn, just blonde. :lol: ) but now I use the got to be brand curlvacious shampoo and conditioner, it is great! I use it on Janelle if we are going to leave her hair down as well!

Many people on gr are sizing down on the sweater coat so that it is not longer than the skirt...of course, if you already need a 3 it would be hard to size down.

she will pass norah this winter i am sure. let's just say i am buying 2t for spring/summer next year :lol:. currently she's 29 inches and 21lbs :pig: at 10 months.

Umm, that's what I'm buying for next summer...for both kids! Well that and a few 18-24 months for Janelle. I'm planning on janelle's 2t dresses fitting for at least this winter and next!

Kim - I'm in the same boat - I think I'm mostl buying for Carter.

OK, just had to post a pic of Girly in Gymbo:

are you shocked? i am :lol:

Umm, did you know that the sweater is the SAME (exactly...seriously) as the fifth fleat sweater...you could probably find one nwt on e-bay from last year cheaper... jmo

Ok, I need all of this, plus that striped sweater dress from yeasterday... Grrr...and dh saw that list I posted tonight too...he will NOT be happy with more clothes.

Wow a picture of Heather! What a cutie!!!

Thank you Colleen you rock!!:thumbsup: Love those pictures of the new lines. Does GR have any of the boy stuff yet for the future lines? OMG I need all the duster sweaters. DD has HNS, getting CG and need the new blue one!:crazy:

I forgot...

So, that's 27 gymbo outfits...she also has some janie and jack and 4 gap dresses and 2 old navy dresses that we got in 18-24 months last winter that were too big and will fit this year...so what like 35 outfits for fall/winter and it's only July??? I'm going to have to weed down some of this I think if I want to buy any of the new stuff...or I can buy the new stuff in 3t/3 and put it away till the next winter (or the next one after that)...

uhhg...I'm scared to do Caid's list...

Okay, all of you who have extra GBs, I'm in desperate need of a few more. :lol: If you're willing to give one or two up, or even have an ISO list of things you'd be willing to swap for them, I'm very, very interested! :biggrin:

I went today and did my holds for the 5 I have. This is what I put up:

I still have a list of things I need to get, including the shoes from both of these lines, as well as the dress from IAGT and several other pieces from CG! I decided to totally skip RG, because I wanted to stick to two lines, and I knew I wanted IAGT, and I liked more of the CG stuff than the RG stuff. :faint: I really, really thought it would be the other way around.

And would you believe that the striped tights for CG were totally sold out at the store I went to? They called to another store to hold me two pairs of them, and I'm going to buy them without a GB tomorrow, because all of my GBs will be spent on the rest of it, and I'm totally paranoid that if I don't get them now, I won't be able to get them at all.

That's such a cute picture of Heather!!

Anyway, I showed DH all the stuff I have on hold for tomorrow. He approved everything! :thumbsup: He's actually really great to shop with!

I was just iffy about getting all these:

http://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l11.jpg http://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l5l3.jpg http://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l5.jpg

(and of course I've got the matching tights!)

Then these:
http://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l45.jpg http://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l53hh.jpg

So redundant! But I do tend to do that though-- I have the pink SF in just about every piece it came in :lol: Anyway, DH assured me that it will be fine-he likes the mix/match stuff.

Anyway, I've got 5 gymbucks- which ironically (after thinking that I'd be buckless on this redemption) is the most I've ever had. One of them came from Brandon's Gymboree class. I just can't believe I found $200 worth of stuff to buy to get the other 4 gymbucks! How did that happen???


Anyway, a Gymbo question for the evening:

Do you buy multiple pieces with the same pattern? (like I have in the above example)?

Do you buy multiple pieces with the same pattern? (like I have in the above example)?

I have all of the striped splash stuff, and all of the (baby girl) market print BP stuff.

Okay, I think we're also definitely going to be needing this:

Brandi~ Heather is so cute in her SF outfit!

Damn you and your adorable clothes, Gymboree!!! :devilange

:lol2:

I know, I so wish Jeff would work some normal hours again so I can beg for my job back. :lol:

Karri, I'm so glad Norah is finally going to get to use all that stuff. :) BTW, I just looked up for you - the flowered dress is from Snow Angels; Nov. 2002


BonVoyage: (courtesy of TtownAnne)
striped dress w/ kitty
blue shirt w/ kitty
white peter pan collar kitty shirt
polka dot legging
kitty pant

some flowered dress that I cant find the line for! I got it from Anne.

Do you buy multiple pieces with the same pattern? (like I have in the above example)?

Yes, if I like a pattern, I buy a few pieces in it. :) Because there are enough patterns I dislike to compensate for it. :awink:

Thank you Colleen you rock!!:thumbsup: Love those pictures of the new lines. Does GR have any of the boy stuff yet for the future lines? OMG I need all the duster sweaters. DD has HNS, getting CG and need the new blue one!:crazy:

Debbi, I'll take a look and see if I can find anything.

Ugh, now I'm wondering if I should have put the stiped tights on hold. They still had a bunch left at my store so I might be able to still get them tomorrow. Why am I stressing over these clothes? :disbelief

Here is my baby girl wearing Tropical Paradise today:

**Moved to Gymbo picture thread**

Jenn, just call in the morning and put them on hold. I was shocked that they had sold out already, but apparantly, people like stripes. :lol: They had *sold* (probably code for *put on hold*) a bunch of the sweater coats as well, but the store I was at still had a huge stack of them in the back. I'd LOVE to buy an extra for ebay, but I don't think it's going to happen, seeing as I still need more GBs just for Katie. :lol:

OMG, she's such a doll, Alysia! :love3: Look at those cheeks!!! :love3:

So - This is what I have on hold and am ordering a few straggling pieces on line tonight...

For the baby for next summer-

This looks very baby luluish, but I like baby lulu!

I'm not going to be able to afford to use my gymbucks, so I'm offering them for the same price AmyLynn sold hers, $23 and free shipping. I'll mail them right after someone takes them if you're in a hurry.

Those new lines you all just posted are fabulous. I wish they were out now!!! I've actually been dreaming about this stuff. That's nuts!

Yes, I've been dreaming about this stuff too. :silly: I've been trying to take a nap in the afternoon with the girls and I can't fall asleep because I'm rethinking my GB strategy. Gosh, I need a life. :lol:

Alright, is anyone out there? I can't get through to gymbo customer service, I have been on hold for 23 minutes:furious: . I waited to do my order after midnight but my order is showing 7-20. I am going to be so pissed if I can't redeem my gymbucks because the website was a couple minutes off:furious: Experienced gymbo shoppers: HELP!

I used to use garnier fructis (from seeing pictures I seem to have the same hair as alexis and lauryn, just blonde. :lol: ) but now I use the got to be brand curlvacious shampoo and conditioner, it is great! I use it on Janelle if we are going to leave her hair down as well!

Many people on gr are sizing down on the sweater coat so that it is not longer than the skirt...of course, if you already need a 3 it would be hard to size down.
Thanks Jillian...I will also check out that Got to Be curlvacious shampoo for Alexia. :up:

Well, remember I thought I lost 3 of my Gymbucks? Well, it turns out I have the 3...but it's the 1 GB I can't find. I think it was from a misc. online order...and I can't find the darn thing! :blue:

Here is what I put on hold yesterday. Oh, and mind you...the striped duster sweater for Alexia and the matching cardigan sweater for Angelina.....I got the last one in their size (Alexia size 3, Angelina 6-12 mos.)!!! I pulled them right off of the floor model sample! So do not forget to check the floor model samples! I notice the ones they use for them are the more popular sizes!

For Alexia:

I kind of wanted to break up the pink and that's why I didn't want to get the pink pants with it.

It seems like I'm forgetting something. :scratch: But anyway, they had tons of the striped tights and I LOVED them. So today I'm thinking of picking them up (if they have Alexia's size left :crossfing: ) and getting them with this:
http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/140003397?$126x160$ (http://www.gymboree.com/shop/dept_item.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=2930275&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2947877&bmUID=1121947102602&productSizeSelected=0)http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/140003349?$126x160$ (http://www.gymboree.com/shop/dept_item.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=2933327&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2947877&bmUID=1121947102579&productSizeSelected=0) But not sure with what shirt? :dunno: Any suggestions?
I also got this from PP from the rounders http://gymbohaven.com/pool2019a.jpg Angelina needs a yellow something to wear with these http://gymbohaven.com/bonjou96.jpg. I know they're different lines, but oh well...as long as it matches!

Also, I will probably pick up some misc. accessories for her hair online, and some misc. stuff for Angelina too (the socks to go with her cardigan, etc.)


Honestly, I didn't like the basset hound. As much as I would have loved to get Ang a dress http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/140002496?$126x160$ (http://www.gymboree.com/shop/dept_item.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=2931885&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2946595&bmUID=1121947324200&productSizeSelected=0) I just do not like that dog on the clothing. Maybe it's me? :dunno:
I know I"m all WAY maxed out even with the 3GB (should be 4 :blue: ) but Alexia is in desperate need of a new fall/winter wardrobe.

Concerning the pics I posted, how's my width for everyone?

jillian - thanks for the heads up on the sweater. in size 5 they go pretty high on ebay and i definately want nwt so i'll just get it now during redemption.

julie, i am thinking of these, it puts me at $106, with my two gymbucks and no sales tax i'm $2 over maximizing :lol: but he's worth it. i'm unsure if i'll get size 4 or 5, i have to see how they run, definately 5 in the sweater.

Nice picks, Dawn!!!

THe size of the images look perfect on my computer.

I think the straps on the clogs are adjustable. They have them displayed on the front of the sandal but you can pull them back to use as a strap.

Regarding the skort and the tights- we're getting the pink skort. I like the denim one too but it's easier to find denim elsewhere. Since the pink matches the other gymbo stuff better, i'd get the pink. we already have a cord blue skirt from another brand as well.


QOTD: Do you redeem all your gymbucks in one trip? or spread them out in different days (just in case you find something else you like?

Me: I have 5 to redeem and I'm tempted to just do it all in one trip. But I"m afraid I'll change my mind on some things. I do better when I split them up so I have some time to think in between purchases.

I like some of the new Teacher's Pet stuff posted :aok:

Your pics were a great size, Dawn.

I'm going sans a plan today :lol: If I see something new out that I really like, I'll get it (hoping I'll like it better than online) in 12-18 for late winter. Otherwise, I'm stocking up off the rounders and other marked down lines.

Thanks Lyndee (about my picks ;) )! :)

Hmn, so your getting the pink skort with the striped tights? What shirt will she be wearing with it? I will have to look at the pink skort when I do my pick up today.... That's true about the denim skirt...and also especially since I got her the denim pants.

I pretty much use them all up at once. The total I spend comes out to be high even with using GBs so I get it out of the way & use them all. :lol:

I think the straps on the clogs are adjustable. They have them displayed on the front of the sandal but you can pull them back to use as a strap.

Hmn, I didnt think there were any straps on the ones I got? :scratch:

http://gymbohaven.com/aug05l52.jpg See, the clog in this pic? That's the one I got her. Not these: http://gymbohaven.com/aug05l53d.jpg

dawn i think those are the same...they just have the strap pulled forward onto the top of the shoe in the first pic (i can do this with my croc clogs too). i could be totally wrong though.

Dawn, the straps on the clogs you got can go up near the clog or back around their ankle. :)

I like these together, because we will be wearing them in the fall/winter.

Oh $hit, no way! Now you all got me thinking.....must check if the strap is pulled forward when I pick it up. :lol: Now I'm all confused! :crazy: :lol:

Cuz here's the funny part (may as well tell ya the whole story)....so I see the clogs WITH the strap (and mind you I didn't know they were adjustable :blush1: ) I tried to put it on Alexia and it seemed tight and hard to stretch the strap around the back of her foot. So I'm like...forget these and I put them back. I walk around more and I see a bunch more of those clogs but without the straps. So I say to myself...hey, now this would work...no strap, she just slides it on. :lol: So maybe the ones in that section they had the strap pulled forward? I'll let you all know! :lol:

Dawn, the straps on the clogs you got can go up near the clog or back around their ankle. :)
Oh ok...thanks! Wow, had no clue! Well then that's cool then. She can wear them either way! :up:

See, I really loved that striped shirt with the denim skirt. But wasn't sure how the striped tights would look with the skirt (too much stripes??). :dunno: I love that!

Oh it looks so cute together IRL! @ other customers put the pink and lite blue skirt back and grabbed the denium one. I have a feeling the denium one will sell out quick.

On a side note Walmart has these denium skorts too. Oh I forgot to add something, the clogs for baby girl do not move like the clogs for kid girl.

Thanks! I'll definitely check it out. Now with my luck, they won't have the denim skirt in her size! :disbelief: But I'm loving those striped tights so much....I can't resist NOT to buy them! :lol:

Darn, I'm ticked the price of the cropped utility pants went back up to $34 from $24.50. :mad:

I have all these on hold and am thinking do I need all these shoes at over $30 a pop? I am thinking of getting basic blue shoes from another store, which will be cheaper. DD loves the clogs so I will be keeping those, but not sure about the wine ones? What to do, what to do:dunno: :scratch:

Gymboreegirl (sorry, what's your name?)....are you buying alot of clothes in the wine color? I didn't at all, so I didn't get the shoes. If I did though and knowing me, I probably would buy the wine shoes to match. I'm a total shoe-a-holic, not so much for me anywmore, but I've passed it down to Alexia :lol: I got her the 2 pairs (navy blue and pink clogs) since the stuff I got will match them. But if you can do away with the wine ones...why not? Or if you did get alot of stuff in the wine color, then you can ditch the navy blue ones since they are a common color and won't be hard to find. :) The wine colored ones are a harder color to match. So I say, depending on how much stuff you got in the wine color would be a determination for me... :lol:

The shoes are all SO cute! I guess I should be happy to be saving some $$ this time around, since Katie won't be walking for another few months....and then I should probably keep her in Stride Rites for awhile anyway. Right??!! (...now's the chance to talk me into buying all the coordinating shoes that we DON'T need! :lol: )

okay, all of you boy moms are making me think that my boys don't have enough. :lol: But I always forget what I already have :blush:

I learned not to buy Gymbo shoes, I just buy basics, black, brown and navy from either Bear Feet (which I know are outrageous but I love) or Stride Rite!! I did my order online this morning and got 2 outfits for each of the girls, I'll post the pics in a few minutes, I'm too lazy right now and I wanted to answer the number of outfits question.

For spring/summer the girls have about 15 outfits each, countless playclothes and 5 cheap dresses that are cute but more like playclothes. Even though hot months are a ton longer here I just LOVE fall and winter clothes so the girls always end up with more of those, so far they each have
2 WW outfits
1 Apple for the Teacher outfit
1 RG outfit
1 CG outfit
3 Naartjie outfits
4 Baby Lulu outfits
2 pair of ON jeans

Not too bad, but it doesn't even cool off until late October here so who knows what I'll have by then...

these from payless were posted on another board as an option for CG

http://www.payless.com/Images/beauty/035893_beauty.gif

http://www.payless.com/Images/beauty/035893_beauty.gifOh I love these, this is a option too!

I never buy Gymbo shoes. :dunno: I buy Avery a pair of SR sneakers for play, and then a pair of SR Mary Jane's in a basic color (last fall/winter it was navy, because navy was dominant.)

Alright, is anyone out there? I can't get through to gymbo customer service, I have been on hold for 23 minutes:furious: . I waited to do my order after midnight but my order is showing 7-20. I am going to be so pissed if I can't redeem my gymbucks because the website was a couple minutes off:furious: Experienced gymbo shoppers: HELP!


Did you wait till the website had the "time to redeem your gymbucks" graphic?

Can you go in and cancel your order and replace it now?

Right??!! (...now's the chance to talk me into buying all the coordinating shoes that we DON'T need! :lol: )


I bought co-ordinating with everything shoes before Janelle could walk...once she started walking it was stride rights and robeez and just this summer I've bought a few co-ordinating shoes again, but with her weird feet/toes she still wears robeez 90% of the time.

Ok so I am going to see if I can find dd size in those pink payless shoes and try to find the basic navy shoes someplace else and save $60+. I getting the wine shoes only unless I find some sute basic wine shoes someplace else, but doubt it. Hmm need to go figure out what to use that $60+ on at Gymboree.:blush1:

Bretta~ Only buy the wine ones at Gymbo if you HAVE to have them, you can find Navy ones anywhere!!

Now here's what I bought

That's it!

I must confess that I cut down my Gymbo order by a lot because I bought 3 Baby Lulu outfits for each girl yesterday and well, that was nearly $600 :blush:

fyi apparently target has similar colored shoes to match the pink in CG...and brown that might might GC from last year.

Question, do you think I should spend the $30 on the baby boy tractor sweater? or wait until it goes on sale?????

OK..if you were me..what size sweater duster would you get Alyssa. She is 37" tall now and she weighs 31 lbs. I don't want it to be to long. I can't take her with me???

Jayne

jeni i think it will take quite a while for it to get down to what you'll be getting it for with gymbucks. make sense? and by then it might be gone. i would buy it now if you love it.

Ok..now the Gymbo site isn't working. I can get to the main page but not the actual Kid girl page

Jayne

Alyssa doesn't have much from Gymboree..just a few things here and there and normally not until they are on sale. (you all have helped me find things because you post sales!!!) I just won this DW 5 pc set last night! I am so excited!!!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4747717448&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

I love the CG sweater Coat but I just can't justify spending that much money on it. Hopefully I will find a good deal on one on Ebay later on or in the store.

Jayne

Great lot Jayne!!! So cute!!!

I love the sweater coat too, I probably won't even get it for Lexi cause she is always hot at school...We'll see..LOL.

Jeni~ I agree with Kim, I would buy it if you really love it!
Jayne~ I would say you need to buy her a 3 because that's about what size Abby was last year when she was wearing a 3.

Jeni~ I agree with Kim, I would buy it if you really love it!
Jayne~ I would say you need to buy her a 3 because that's about what size Abby was last year when she was wearing a 3.

I was trying to decide between the 3 and 4. Not sure how much longer the 4 will be.

Is the sweater that you got Addy to match (just the sweater not the coat) is that in kid girl sizes also. Iw as trying to check Gymboree and the site is down or something.

Jayne

Ok, I just got back from my store and it was a nightmare. I didn't end up getting the sweater coat but I did get the sweater in a 3T. We have the HnS sweater coat and I just didn't think it would be practical to have 2 of them. I did get the striped and the flower tights, though. I tried the stripe tights on and I love them!!

I've got a couple of pictures but I'll post them in the gymboree picture thread.

Question, do you think I should spend the $30 on the baby boy tractor sweater? or wait until it goes on sale?????

I think it depends on which size you need and when you think you will be needing to wear it. I only bought mine with Gymbucks, because I know 18-24 goes the fastest.
I have held off on getting the little baby anything for the fall since I know the small sizes will stick around alot longer.
Does that logic work?

yikes! i dont even know what i have for fall! its all packed away in a bin in the attic :lol: maybe i'll dig it out this weekend and look thru it .

Mine is in 2 bins under the bed! And that's just size 3... size 4 is in another bin!! And all my 18-24 stuff is in about 3 bins over at my ILs condo, so I have NO CLUE what I have :lol: But at the rate Court is growing, she may not wear 18-24 for a LONG time, and I probably won't break out a lot of the size 3 fall stuff until late fall... I know I have a ton of SFF, and a bunch of CAAB, MZ, and HNS.

Jayne, I would buy the 3. Avery is about 38" and 29 lbs and the 4 I tried on her was a tad bit long, but I my store didn't have any 3's to try on.

ACK! I am having the same issues with the shoes. Just think if I buy each girl the navy blue (which I am considering NOT doing) ANd the wine color (we got a lot of the wine color stuff I believe) I am spending $36 x 6 :faint: That could be at least one more full outfit per child, right? Hmmm something to ponder :lol:

I am leaving soon to pick up my holds :lol:

Bretta, I would buy non Gymbo shoes and get more outfits. :)

Jayne- from what I've read on GR- the sweater coat is HUGE- it's probably running about a size below average- so definitely a 3- might still be a little big (but then you'd get more wear out of it...)

OK..the more I look at it the more I think maybe I want just the sweater..but is that only in Baby Girl???

The Gymbo site wont' work????


Jayne

The sweater is only in Baby Girl- anyone heard how it runs? If it's big too, 3T might work for Alyssa...(not for Isabelle though :( )

We got the sweater in a 3T and I think it runs a teensy bit big. There's a picture of Peyton wearing it in the Gymboree pictures thread. I think she'll be able to wear it through the winter.

Ok I tried both the 3 and the 4 on my dd. She is 4, but very petit and to tell the truth 3's still fit her just fine. I prefer the size 4 duster sweater over the size 3. It looked cuter bigger and if I need to put another top or sweater and top under it it would give her plenty of room. If you are not planning on having it for more than this fall/winter get the size 3. I plan on dd wearing it next season too.

Ugh, I don't know what to do this is making me CRAZY :lol: Guess I'll just see when I get there :lol: I'm going at lunch/

OK..if you were me..what size sweater duster would you get Alyssa. She is 37" tall now and she weighs 31 lbs. I don't want it to be to long. I can't take her with me???

Jayne

I'd get the 4... I say that b/c I AM getting the 4, and Caroline is almost exactly the same size as Alyssa, maybe a 1/2 inch taller and 1/2 pound heavier. I just want it to last as long as possible.

This is what I am thinking..and maybe it will last 2 years. We have long winter/fall weather here and so she could get a lot of wear out of it. I just have to go and see it. Who know's..I may end up with the 3T sweater instead because I am now wondering how often she can actually wear the duster. We do get fall weather but it usually changes to 20 degree temps pretty soon and so how long can she wear it.

Jayne

I'm really on the fence about whether to get the pleated denim skort- or whether to buy something similar at Target or Old Navy, and save my Gymbucks...I really love the adjustible waist- Isabelle is so tall and thin- she wears a 4 or 5 in dresses, but we have to get a 3 in skirts or shorts for the waist.

Target supposedly has a pleated denim skirt for $9.99. I think I'm going to buy that one and use my Gymbucks for the pink one.

Jayne~ Abby wore her HnS duster quite a bit last winter, they are so cute and I'm probably going to get the one from the line coming out in August too, I love the colors!

Old Navy has this skirt that I am tempted to get and save some money so I can get a few higher end pieces

I love the colors from the HNS one and the one for August..the one in August is more fall colors..but then again this one is so cute with the pink..Oh I am so Torn :lol:

See Jayne you just need to do what I do, spend money you don't have and then you don't have to pick :lol:

That's GREAT! :woo:

Not to bring up the shoe issue again, but I checked out the pink one's at my store today. The BG smaller sizes 01 to 8 do not rotate back.

I'd get a size 3...so many people are sizing down on GR for this item and it looks like she is right inbetween a 3 and 4, so I'd do a 3.

Have you all seen???

http://www.gymboreesneakpeak.tk/ (http://www.gymboreesneakpeak.tk/)

So, nobody wants my gymbucks? I'll give them away cheaper (or for nothing at all) if someone wants them. I hate seeing them go to waste.

Lette, I've seen sneak peek pics, but this site seems to have every single pic for MBF! Wow! I need to start saving!

OMG! I have to buy the socks with the westie from MBF. :lol: That's the kind of dog my little sis has!

Hilary, I WISH I had the money to buy one, but I'm in trouble as it is :blush: I just got back. Decision made about the sweater :lol: I LOVE it!!!!

Ok, I'm back. My tier 1 is still in it's temp location and it's cramped and dark in there. I came up to right under $50 after using my Gymbo Visa (I do not think it's fair that they take off my 5% in their head before to make up to the $50 :complain: ) so the boy got a shirt that put me over by $5 :rolleyes:

I didn't get any new stuff, just cruised the rounders and PP stuff. I'm getting 18-24 so I figured I'd get what I really wanted now before it goes bye bye. Here are my picks:

I don't even remember which shirt I got Matthew :lol: It was horizontal stripes, but I don't remember the color and all the boy shirts look alike to me :lol:

I did check out the new girl stuff and I couldn't find anything I really loved. Which, of course, won't preven me from picking it off the rounders at a later date :lol:

Hilary, I might want one. I have to figure out when I start working and if I'm allowed to use a gymbuck before I actually start there.

Does anybody know whether or not you can use a Gymbuck combined with a regular Gymboree gift card?

I wouldn't know why not, Amy. Hopefully Colleen or Jenn or Julie can answer you.

My $50 Gymbo Visa check is still safe. I hope they come out with something one of these days for me to spend it on :lol:

Yes, you can use them with a true gift card or certificate, not a merchandise credit.

Hilary~ Check with Brandi. She wanted mine but I already gave mine away!

Here's my purchases from today's 2 Gymbucks. Nocona, I figured in the 5% off before I went. I knew my total had to be $105.30 or more.

I came out at $101.66 after my Visa Discount! :woo: Can't complain about that!
For a total of $51.66, I got:

I then hit H&M and got some dresses for my daughter for next year at $2.90 each! :rahrah:

LOVE your purchases Lette!!!!!

Got my loot this morning! Can you believe I was in and out in 10 minutes! No lines and I already had stuff on hold from yesterday. Now this is the way I want to shop. Blew all 5 of my Gymbucks. My total came to $254. I was going to save one for later but I just wanted to get it over with! I must say that CG has grown on me a bit more and I'm now thrilled about my purchases. I was surprised that the Tyson's store was still well-stocked but I went ahead and grabbed an extra pair of tights (size 5-7) just in case the 3-4 run small.

I didn't use my Gymbo visa. I just don't like to use store cards. I think I'll use my $50 for the Fall lines and just cancel the card. The discount doesn't really make up for the inconvience of having another card to pay. We use Amex for everything.

Have you all seen???

OMG!!!! I already like MBF!!!! I'll really be saving my $50 for that!!!

Why am I the only one that link does not work for???

Jayne

LOVE your purchases Lette!!!!!
Thanks. I made sure to get my girly girl lots of dresses. :)

That's GREAT! :woo:

Not to bring up the shoe issue again, but I checked out the pink one's at my store today. The BG smaller sizes 01 to 8 do not rotate back.

Ah thanks for clarifying that! I got Lauryn a size 9. She was with me yesterday and I was just thrilled when she said she wanted to try them on. Put them on and she didn't want them-- then I realized they were stuffed in the inside. Hopefully she'll try them on at home. Her other Gymbo shoes are size 8s. Their shoes run huge! lauryn measures a 9.5.

Thanks. I made sure to get my girly girl lots of dresses. :)

That's all Lauryn wants to wear lately! That Gymbo ss floral dress looks so cute on! I saw it in GH last night.

Anyway, for those unfamiliar with Gymbucks returns, I asked the SM how the exhanges are supposed to work. I got a pair of pants that don't come in KG so I'm taking a chance on the 3T. If I were to exchange it, my Gymbucks discount gets applied to another item (price has to be equal or more than original purchase). So let me see if I have this straight. I've my receipt says that I got $14 off my $28 pants, then I get a $14 credit towards another pair?

The SM said I can make only one exchange transaction per item.

I am going to have to get this when this line comes out!!!

http://www.girlonfire.net/gymboree/sneakpeak/girls/teacherspet/tn_tpet07_jpg.gif

I had all of my items in my shopping cart on line and ordered at 6:30am this morning. Two of my items had already disappeared but I had over stocked my cart so I still had enough to use up my gymbucks on things I really wanted.

I can't wait to get my stuff!!! Oh, and it was free shipping too!!

Assuming DH doesn't go nuts when I ask him if he minds me getting a couple Gymbucks (he tends to get a bit upset with me spending money at Gymbo), here's what I think I'm going to get with Hilary's Gymbucks:

And after all was said and done, I paid $33, thanks to Gymbucks and a GC :) Can't beat that, eh?

GREAT job Karri!

My store had absolutely no Daddy's Girl, Big Sis or Little Sis shirts :(

Great job, Karri :aok:

I'm loving my out of the way Gymbo store - it's a longer drive but worth it. There were people shopping but still room to breath and the manager there is awesome! Woops, posted too fast, still working on my pics. I'm sure you are DYING to see them. They love idiots like me because I keep buying even when the Gymbucks are gone.

As usual, things I like online I like less in the store and vice versa so I ended up swapping some of my holds. I love the Tip Toe line but figured I could wait for a sale and actually went with one of the much-maligned dog lines. WOOF WOOF!

FYI MY STORE HAD A TON of those striped sweater coats you all are drooling over.

It was so crammed with merchandise you could barely get through - but it's not a big store. I managed to get a babysitter for a few hours so I could go ALONE. It was my vacation for 2005!

Yes, you can use them with a true gift card or certificate, not a merchandise credit.

Oops, I was wrong. :blush1:

Ok this is what I came home with today. plue the basic pink, wine and purple socks.

Sorry I thought I posted this correct this time.

wow..that is a lot of stuff!

Jayne

Sorry my revised post was so slow, I was just commenting that my store still had a zillion of those sweater coats... maybe because it's going to be over 100 here today. :dead:

Same here - it's 96 degrees today, nobody was interested in long sleeved long sweaters when I was there! (am I the only one that wasn't planning to buy one?)

YEP - I used a gift card today! No problem!

No, Anne, I'm not buying one either (not that I would to save for 2 years) :lol: It was 102 on my way back from Gymbo :dead:

This one, Bridget? http://www.gymbohaven.com/tropic95.jpg

My store had one of those left in 18-24 (that's what I'm buying for next summer). It is very cute but I would probably mess it up so the little hula skirt fell off in the wash :rolleyes:

wow..that is a lot of stuff!

Jayne

I had 12 GB's and ds decided at 6 he was not going to wear Gymbo any more!:tear:

I didn't think about that! :chilipepp This one, Bridget? http://www.gymbohaven.com/tropic95.jpg

My store had one of those left in 18-24 (that's what I'm buying for next summer). It is very cute but I would probably mess it up so the little hula skirt fell off in the wash :rolleyes:

Hilary: I'm interested in one of the gymbucks, or are they both on the same reciept? Just let me know. There is too much in the boys section that I just have to have.

I think Amy is going to take them everyone, but if not I have already gotten quite a few PM's from other people too. They are on one receipt, so they have to go together.

No worries! :)

Well for the first time ever I used my gymbucks for the summer clothes that are on sale for next summer instead of buying the new lines. I am VERY proud of myself!! Here is what we got from pool party!!

I got the yellow beach ball one piece as well.. can't find it on gymbohaven??

Aha, found the swimsuit!! And I got the matching beach toys!! :blush1: http://www.gymbohaven.com/poolsw13.jpg
http://www.gymbohaven.com/poolsw4.jpg

If anyone's still interested in Gymbucks, I have 2 that I am not going to use. They are on separate receipts so they can go separately.

Love all your pics Dori. I wanted more of that Pool Party line but couldn't get much in my size... except for one of the swimcaps (useless but cute). I guess it will be ebay on that line for me, because I'm dying for a matching swimsuit for next summer (12-18).:up:

Lette, I've seen sneak peek pics, but this site seems to have every single pic for MBF! Wow! I need to start saving!


Yea, I really didn't see much that I don't want, I think I'm going to have to sell clothes to make room for them or buy way ahead...anyone in great search of any of the outfits I posted last night. :blush:

Same here - it's 96 degrees today, nobody was interested in long sleeved long sweaters when I was there! (am I the only one that wasn't planning to buy one?)


I have no plans on getting one...I really don't like the colours of chelsea girl much at all, plus we have the HnS one put away for when Janelle grows into it...can't really see having more than one sweater coat.

Savannah, (this is my real bind) she fits into 12-18 months with room to grow :eek: So, everything I bought today as 18-24. I am debating on holding onto it and praying she grows into it over the winter months (but it really is pretty big on her) or exchanging it for size 12-18m :dunno: Not only that but I bought her size 6 shoes and she needs a 5. I really hope I can get the shoes in a 5 for her :crossfing

Janelle is a year older than Savannah, isn't she? And they are similar to the same size...or rather, savannah is similar to the same size Janelle was last year, Janelle is 21lbs 3 ounces and 34 inches right now, at 2 she was 18lbs and 29 1/2 inches... Anyway, Janelle is just getting into 18-24 months right now, so I'd suggest exchanging them for the smaller size unless you aready have enough 12-18 for this winter, then you could hold them on to them till next winter.

Savannah, (this is my real bind) she fits into 12-18 months with room to grow :eek: So, everything I bought today as 18-24.

I really hope I can get the shoes in a 5 for her :crossfing



Ok - I am too lazy to go back and see what you bought for SP, but here is my advice, since ours are the same size (though I dont know about height) and all of N's clothes for winter are 18-24, as well :lol: .........

for skirts and leggings, go small. for overalls, go larger (because there is no room to grow). for other pants, put them on her now and see how they fit. if they are disgustingly big, then exchange them. but check on the length, too. you may need to pull out some of your handiwork on her in the waist.

Yea, I really didn't see much that I don't want, I think I'm going to have to sell clothes to make room for them or buy way ahead...anyone in great search of any of the outfits I posted last night. :blush:

Well you know I'm ISO that JF outift! And I love the SFF dress/leggings combo you posted too. Let me know if you are looking to make room in Janelle's closet! :lol:

My gymbucks are gone. Thanks everyone. :up:

ok bretta - i found your post :lol:
i would get these in a 12-18, because they are cropped. so if they end up being shorter, who cares.

these are the only ones i'd be worried about. i'd go by length. 'cause you dont want her wearing floods, either. you can always take in the waist on them or add some more elastic.

and finally....thanks for naming the dress line for me, anne!!
and Julie...I am so jealous that you have warmer weather and can get the cowboy stuff. I love that blue cowboy SS shirt that you got Jordan!

Karri - You can be jealous of the warmer weather, but I hear we don't hit pants weather here until late September/October.... So this stuff is just going to be stored for awhile...
I guess we can't have it all, as you couldn't convince me enough to visit WI in the winter, let alone live there :lol:

I found little tiny (12-18 months-4t) long underwear shirts at a little hole in the wall store in my hometown last weekend. I can't wait for caid to sport the layered look this winter. :lol:

For some crazy reason, my store is NOW getting short sleeve only in the new lines... and of course for the spring lines, they got long sleeve only... why doesn't Gymbo just send everything to places like San Diego? I ended up placing an order online with the free shipping with a $50 order to get a l/s top before Gymbucks, so I bought quite a lot... and I ended up with the sweater duster in a 4 and a 5 because I love the colors and figure with 3 girls someone will always be available to wear one for the next several years! So, here is what I got:

For Caroline, all size 4 for next year and the duster in a 5 too:

http://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l45.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l5.jpg

I got the tights in both a 3-4 and a 5-7 b/c I figure I'll have the duster for later, so I might as well have the tights...

For Courtney:

http://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l93.jpg

I am so jealous that you have warmer weather and can get the cowboy stuff. I love that blue cowboy SS shirt that you got Jordan!

There were loads of the cowboy stuff at the Tier 1 I was in today. :nod: If you want something and can't find it there, just let me know. There were even the cowboy hats. I almost got one strictly for resale value but ended up putting it back.

I was so annoyed that there were NO l/s shirts out at the gymbo today from any of the new lines (well except the sweater duster, but I was NOT paying $42 for that thing!). That's what I planned on getting for Micayla. The only l/s they had was in layette. So I ended up getting stuff for next year on the rounders.

So I got for Cayla...

http://www.gymbohaven.com/aug05l5l3.jpg

I put all my stuff on hold yesterday at 10:00 a.m when they opened and went back this morning at 10 a.m., and by the time they got my holds, there was already a pretty big line! I know it must have been an insane day!

BTW, that link does not work for me at alll, so I can't see the new lines.

Bretta - I pretty much agree with Karri! Lauren is a little peanut as well. In the stretch pants I bought her 2T but in any other pants I have 18-24 months and some of the cotton capri's still fall off her little butt. :blush1: The jean capri's fit perfect?!?

She will probably be able to wear it at some point.. there are clothes I bought for Lauren last summer that she is wearing this summer.

How you guess sizes for three girls is beyong me.. you go woman!!! :nod:

Olivia's closet. she is only 5 months old right now :blush1:

I am SO glad I am not the only one.. I did a quick count last night and she had 34 outfits in her closet.. 29 were gymbo, 2 carters and 3 janie and jack! :blush1: I didn't count what was in the laundry or just random tops that she wears with jeans or short that aren't an "outfit." Its ridiculous!

I decided to match up the sweater with these jeans in baby girl: (size 3T)
I kind of wanted to break up the pink and that's why I didn't want to get the pink pants with it.

They were out of the pleated denim skirt....so I got this one. I'm so glad I got the striped tights....I LOVE them! They said this outfit here, was big (denim skirt, striped shirt w/ striped tights).

For those who were asking about which size duster sweater to get: Alexia is about 27 lbs. and 37". I got her a size 3 and it's big on her. Not ridiculously big, but big. We will definitely have to make a cuff in the arms. Had I gotten her a 4, forget about it! I know for sure that she'll be able to wear this sweater for next season too. :up:

Oh, and I'll be selling the City Sidewalks yoga set in the B/S/T forum (5 pieces all together). Remember, it's the one I bought off ebay? Well, I got it in a 2T and it's no good....A tiny bit too short...so I'm sticking with size 3's with these yoga sets. :)

Well, my bad luck with the Sugar Cookie swimsuit continues. The first one (3-6) is so small my daughter can't wear it. Ordered another in 6-12 from a seller with 750 positive feedback and now they have deregistered with ebay! I guess it could still come so I shouldn't give up hope. I paid with a cash transfer on PayPal... do I have any recourse? Probably not.

Well I found out my SIL has one lonely gymbuck so I am going to use it and get neice the sweater duster I think..and maybe the rest of that outfit..

And I was going to say, get the 4 :lol: Caroline tried it on last night and it was just a tiny bit big, but will work! She is a little heavier than Alexia though, 31.5 lbs. and maybe a half inch taller.

Those of you with Potty trained children...how are they at getting the tights up and down. Alyssa will go to preschool this year and they have to go to the bathroom by themselves. Granted they will help if the child needs but I don't want Alyssa to have to much trouble????

Jayne

I got the sweater coat in a size 3. Lauryn is about 39 inches and 37 lbs. Fits perfectly now and the size 4 is just way too big. I didn't want it to look sloppy. She grows fast but I doubt she'll grow into the size 4 by Fall.

Jayne, I'll let you know real soon.....now that Alexia's been Potty trained ( :woo: ) I plan on doing a fashion show with all the clothes I bought yesterday (I'm giving her a bath now, and when we're done the fashion show will start :lol: ). And I'm gonna see how she does with the tights. My guess is that she'll do real well since they're thick...but we'll see....

Avery is 38" tall and about 28 lbs. I bought her the sweater coat in a 4. They did have a few 3's in the store, so I did try it on her. The sleeves came down to the middle of her fingertips on the 3. The 4 wasn't that much bigger on her. Although, I may change my mind when I have her try it on again.

Wow Bretta!

My reasoning for buying the 4 (and 4's in everything) was this. Last year at this time, when I started buying for fall, she was solidly in a 2T. So, I bought all 3T's. The 3T's were a little big/long, so we rolled cuffs and such. Once february hit, the 2T's were getting short and the 3T's were all that fit. I can't afford for her to grow out of all her winter clothes when spring doesn't come here to May. :lol:

I still do have some 3T's that I didn't sell. :awink: That can tide her over if the 4's are huge, but I doubt they will be.

I wish I could bank on Alyssa growing. Tylor never grew and at 10 is just 60 lbs. He still wears a 6/7 so I just would buy the same sizes all the time. With Alyssa she is actually growing and who knows if and when her growth spirts will happen so I don't want to buy to much ahead in case she either slows down or shoots up!

Janelle has no problems pulling tights up and down. The only things she can really get off herself is rompers, onesies, and overalls...even sleepers she has no problem with.

That's my reasoning for buying 2t's now...they will be too big at the begining of winter, but I'm assuming that around february Janelle will outgrow 18-24 in length and we have had to break out some winter clothes in june and july before even...

I have 3 Gymbucks left, I am in a dilemnia as to what I should buy... I have bought Jordan and Blake pretty much what I want from Wild West and Petting Zoo. I have only bought little guy #3 some summer stuff for next year. Should I get some fall stuff for the little guy, or maybe get Jordan some stuff from the construction line?

I'd get kangaroo hop for the little guy...but, I've always been in love with kangaroos.

Can't you get Jordan some stuff from the contruction line, AND some stuff from kangaroo hop for #3?

Might as well hang onto it Bretta for baby girl #4. :supergrin I almost felt the same way about a few pieces of both the girls stuff AND Brayden's. :lol: I kept thinking... what if.... :lol:

Julie, I'd get Cameron at least a romper or something from that line. I'm ssaying this b/c I went yesterday and got my stuff... didn't get Melayna anything and I'm feeling guilty now. :lol:

Ok just got back from the mall, I took the wine shoes back and got the pink ones from Payless and the black pair too. All I need to do is find a basic navy blue pair. Anyone know where I can get navy blue?

How did these fit your daughter?

I got Avery measured, she is an 8.5. So, we tried the 9 (leaving 2 months growth for fall) and they were HUGE! So was the 8.5. So, I didn't buy any. :( The toe seemed really boxy and large to me. :dunno:

i skipped out of work early :awink: and went to redeem my gymbucks. i went in and shopped like a guy, go in..grab the stuff...pay...and leave. i was afraid to look around for fear of buying something for gianna :lol:

i got exactly what i said i would. i really like the blue shirt, it's thicker than i thought it would be....and the sweater is really soft. i wish i could try it on tony but that ain't happening.

it was crowded for that store, usually i'm the only one in there, this time there were like 6 ppl :lol:

I would message the seller and say the item wasn't in the described condition and see what she would like to do to resolve the situation.
In regards to the second situation, I would file a claim via ebay somehow to see what can be done. I think there is something that needs to happen before negative feedback can be left. Did you pay via paypal? Can you file a claim there? I think that just plain ignoring you trying to talk about an issue is just wrong!

Just as an FYI, my store told me that unless I was exchanging for an identical item, I would lose my Gymbuck discount, so just to return it without a reciept...
I hope this might help you out :)

Hmn, I was hoping to exchange it for a size 8...but I'm doubting that they'll have that size. If they didn't have the size, I was hoping to use it as "credit" against something else that's equal or higher in value. Can I do that w/o losing my GB discount?

If you return without a reciept, you will just get store credit so then you could buy whatever with it.
I am sure alot of stores have different policies, but this way they can't deny your return or try to cheat you out of your Gymbuck discount.

Ah ok...gotcha. Thanks Julie. So I guess I'll try returning w/o a receipt and spend the $34 on something else. :lol: The tags are ripped off though (that's ok, right?) because I needed to do that to have her walk in them to see how big they really were. I have the tags and everything stuffed in the shoe.

They didn't have any more size 8's at the store yesterday though. I have a size 8 in my shopping cart online. But it's no shipping for orders over $125!?! :tantrum: Does anyone have a code I can use???

Nope, Well no, I do want it, but I just had her try on Caid's 18-24 month jogging suit and it is way too big, it actually fell off her, so 2t definitely won't work. I'll have to wait till she is tall enough for 3's I guess. Either that or learn how to sew.

I haven't left her feedback yet cause I'm afraid of a retaliatory negative from her. I know I should of checked her feedback, I was so excited to find a fish set altogether (as opposed to having to buy the pieces seperately that I set up the e-snipe bid and went on vacation...that's how come I got shocked with $9 shipping for one outfit as well.

Hmn, I was hoping to exchange it for a size 8...but I'm doubting that they'll have that size. If they didn't have the size, I was hoping to use it as "credit" against something else that's equal or higher in value. Can I do that w/o losing my GB discount?


My SM told me that as long as I exchange it with something of higher price, that my original gymbuck discount will be applied to the new purchase (as long as I do it during redemption time).

Question--
If you return without a receipt, do you get the full store credit? ex. $34? if it hasn't gone on sale yet?

Another question-- they gave me a hard time about returning something without a tag the last time (I had the tag with me though!). Can you return shoes without the tag? The kid has to try them on, right? Can't do that when the shoes are attached!

Also, do they take tights back after you try them on?

TIA!

Ok, so didn't I say that I didn't want to overbuy for fall. :crazy: I went to a friends house today and went through some 4's that she has and here's what I got.

I also got a bunch of stuff for my niece but I won't list out all of that stuff.

Have you got two? If possible, I'd stack them. Either way, stuff the inside of the hat with small soft stuff like socks and underwear to keep the shape. Then if you can possibly spare the room, either put them in a box OR cut a long strip of thick cardboard and and fold it into a square of octagon that "just" fits around the brim. Pack it in the middle of the suitcase with stuff around it. You can also put a flat piece of cardboard on top to keep stuff from squishing in. A box would be best, but the cardboard strips are workable if you make it thich or double it over. Just tape the ends. Hope this helps. Maybe someone else knows another secret!

ok guys- I am packing our suitcases. How should I pack the cowboy hats? The airlines are not going to be gentle on our bags-especially an overseas flight:suck:

I just totally scored on a loopie purchase.
I got the entire Monkey & Friends Lion set in 18-24. Now I don't feel guilty selliing my Monkey set :lol:

Nice score, Julie!

Wow, that's not fair!!! :lol:

*whew! all caught up!!*

Julie, what an awesome lot! Do you mind me asking what you paid for it? :biggrin:

I tried the CG sweater coat on Katie yesterday, and it's not outrageously huge in a 6, but it does go down a tiny bit longer than the hem on her skirt (also a 6). So, should I get the 5, do you think? I'm worried about her being able to wear it for as long as possible, because she grows so fast!

Hmmmm...I would guess an employee bought the sweater at a discount and is reselling. But aren't there rules against that? I also saw a LOT of the new sleepline for sale on ebay this week. :scratch:

Ok, I have a dilemna...I bought 2 outfits from RG and I don't really like the wine colored mary janes. What shoes can I put with them when it is too cold to go barefoot. Here are the outfits...

I also REALLY wanted this hat, but it just wouldn't stretch at all and all the sizes up to 24 months were too small for Kira. She's only 8 months! Anyone else have this problem with their hats?

I finally spent my Gymbuck.

Jenn, isn't this the Cherries line? :scratch:

nice scores everyone! :)

Lyndee - good questions! I'm curious to find out myself.

bearscat (sorry, what's your name again?) - i would go with either cream or white shoes...that'll be fine. And I wouldn't worry about the plain-ness of it, since the shirt is sort of 'busy', kwim? It'll look fine.... :)

Dawn, no, it's actually from Holiday Magic which a lot of people refer to as the cherries line.

Ok, I think I have been in a gymboree store (closest one is over 100 miles away) once in my life and that was just out of curiosity but I think there were no good sales at the time. However, I am now going to California next week and the mall in my home town has one!! What can I expect? Are there good sales now or what do I need to know?!? Am hoping Grandma wants to buy Emma some clothes!

Dawn, no, it's actually from Holiday Magic which a lot of people refer to as the cherries line.
Ah ok...thanks. I asked because I won the velour yoga set on ebay (minus the shirt ;) ) and it was referred to as the cherries line, so that's why it made me wonder....

Anne - Well, there won't be any sales yet on the new lines that just came out (Chelsea girl, Romantic garden, etc.) but other stuff will be discounted and even more discounts on the rounders. It also depends (on the store of course) on what sizes your looking for as well...as the more common sizes are harder to come by with sale stuff. I believe Aloha Wanine, Hawaiian Holiday, and some others are 20% off, and deeper discounts from pool party and other lines are on the rounders. Good luck!

I really do not care if it is a newer line or not... how popular is 2T? Any luck there?

Hmn, not sure about a 2T, my guess is that it's a common size....although the girls here would be able to tell ya. I mainly look for size 3 and size 6-12 which are pretty popular sizes. But definitely take a look....you really never know! I did happen to find a pool party onsie for Angelina the other day in a 6-12 mos. for like $5.00! Can't beat that! SO you never know....I think it's all luck! :lol:

Good luck, and hope you find some stuff! :) Let us know!

How is this possible?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6787513330&category=11477

It looks to me like this seller buys a lot of Gymboree stuff for resale. She probably bought a ton of clearance stuff during GB earning, sold it on ebay, and used the GBs she earned to stock up on the new stuff. And she's selling it at a profit. If she did use a GB for it, it would only be $21, so selling it for $29 creates a profit of $8, and I'm guessing she thinks it will go a lot higher than that. The word was that the duster was going to be a hot item, and I think there are a bunch of people who regularly sell on ebay who bought a few of them for resale.

I'd love to know what all you wind up with in a 6 that you won't need, Bretta! :biggrin: How old is Ashley, though? And Katie fits into almost the same size as she does? :faint: :lol:

I also REALLY wanted this hat, but it just wouldn't stretch at all and all the sizes up to 24 months were too small for Kira. She's only 8 months! Anyone else have this problem with their hats?

The size 18-24 and 2t-3t size fit Janelle and usually she wears a 6-12 in hats, so I think they are running small.

Nope, Well no, I do want it, but I just had her try on Caid's 18-24 month jogging suit and it is way too big, it actually fell off her, so 2t definitely won't work. I'll have to wait till she is tall enough for 3's I guess. Either that or learn how to sew.
No problem, Jillian. :) I contacted the 2nd highest bidder who bid $1.00 under me to see if she wants it. If not, I'll relist it on ebay next wk. :)

I really do not care if it is a newer line or not... how popular is 2T? Any luck there?

I think 2t is a rather hard to find size, they just added it a couple years ago, and at least according to the SA's at the Ann Arbor (Michigan) store they don't make as much in this size as in the others.

I went to find my bra for my Vegas dress tonight and just had to go to gymboree. I actually had a few returns, but I found some great clearance stuff and used my gymbuck. I got a TON for Isabella and a couple shirts for Lily.
I have to say I'm not too fond of the new lines. I don't know if it's that I'm just not into the fall mood yet or if I really dislike the lines. I'll have to see if they grow on me.

I really do not care if it is a newer line or not... how popular is 2T? Any luck there?

Lauren is in 2T and I didn't have any problems buying all the sale stuff in that size with my gymbucks. Thats the first I have bought 2T so I am not real experienced. I did buy some 3T for next summer. Good Luck!!

I just posted 2T GWL pants and 2T Tiger Love pants for sale if anyone is interested.

I always check out what is online before I go. I don't have a store near me either. So I order off thier website and every vacation or trip out of town I scope out a gymboree! I already checked out what is in Colorado when we go our trip out there!!!:blush1:

Bretta, I think there are only rules about that if you work for Gymboree. Otherwise, once you buy things at Gymboree, they're yours to do whatever you want with. :) So, for example, if you get a bunch of stuff at the next One, Two, Free sale, and you get three of each piece you buy, you're essentially getting everything for 33% off. If you turn around and resell it at 10% off retail, you're making a 23% profit, before you subtract your sales tax and your listing fees. On another board I visit, someone was talking about having 124 (yes, you read that right! :faint: ) Gymbucks, and buying a ton of the new lines for resale. I can't believe that if you walk into Gymboree with 124 GBs, they think you AREN'T buying for resale, kwim? :lol:

Okay, I'd LOVE to see what you have in HnS and TL. I'm not sure about GC, though... we just had it and I'm kind of tired of it right now. I need to figure out what we have first, though. I have a feeling we have more up there than I think we do, because I somehow managed to run out of hangers... :lol:

Sorry OT but Dawn I thought of you, or rather Angelina, when I saw this today.

I went to high school with my local Gymbo manager. She says they totally know who's buying for resale. But they don't care. It's not like it's hurting them, they are still making a ton selling the clothes. One woman who comes in ALL the time has almost 100 gymbucks each time. I try to get there before her so I don't have to wait for her huge bill to be rung up. The most I've ever had was 9.

Exactly. I can understand not being able to use your employee discount and then reselling, but the GBs are available to any customer who wants to buy the stuff to earn them, so why should they really care what you do with the clothes after you buy them, kwim? However, I wouldn't want to be the person who came into the store 5 minutes after the one with 100+ GBs left, and had nothing to choose from. :(

From what I have gathered people won't leave feedback for you until you leave it for them, especially when you are the buyer :dunno: I
Yep, that's so true. I've been buying alot of things off ebay in the past couple weeks, and even if I pay them super fast...I get no feedback from them. In the Paypal note section, I tell them I'll give them feedback upon receipt of the item. I receive the item, leave them feedback THEN I get feedback from them. :dunno: I kind of don't like that and feel they should give it upon receipt of your paying instead of them waiting for you to give them feedback first. :dunno:

I always leave feedback for a buyer once I get payment. Since paying is their part of the deal. I don't understand sellers waiting for their feedback before they give feedback.

Just an excerpt......

Confessions of a compulsive shopper

Her obsession strained her marriage and left her family $50,000 in debt. Getting back on track.


NEW YORK (MONEY Magazine) - Kristine Rogers is an addict. The 36-year-old suburban mother of four doesn't drink, gamble or take drugs, but she is an addict nonetheless.

Her compulsion is shopping, and her very particular obsession is Gymboree clothing -- cute, colorful outfits for the 12-and-under set that, in Rogers' hands, have catapulted her family into an emotional and financial tailspin.

Rogers first recognized she'd crossed the line from merely being an enthusiastic shopper to genuine illness about 18 months ago, when Gymboree held a clearance sale in which every item was priced at $7.99.

"I was literally shaking, trying to get my daughter dressed to get to the store," Rogers recalls. "I went to three or four different stores that day, I had a friend on the phone going to a Gymboree near her to buy for me, and I had my mom online ordering too. I grabbed clothes my daughter didn't need. I bought four of the same coat in different colors." By the end of the day, Rogers' compulsion had cost her $800.

At the height of her addiction in 2003 and 2004, Rogers estimates that she spent $400 a week and eight to 10 hours a day, every day, shopping for Gymboree outfits on the Web.

"Online, it felt like Monopoly money," she says. She'd log on at 3 a.m., stay on until her kids woke up, then start all over again once the older ones left for school. "I'd get a rush, a physical high," she says. "It got so bad that just thinking about shopping, I'd start shaking."

Maxed-out credit cards, more than $50,000 in shopping-related debt and the slow realization that she chatted more with other Gymboree-obsessed moms than she did with her own family finally convinced Rogers that she needed to kick her habit.

Last November she started a Gymboree-addiction recovery Web site; by June she had cut down to purchases of $150 or so a month. She thinks the worst is over but adds, "I don't know if I'll ever be normal." Meanwhile, her family struggles to untangle the financial mess her obsession has wrought.

Kristine Rogers is not alone.

(it's a long article..)

OMG! I don't even know what to think!

She should sell her stuff one ebay! :lol:

Basically someone asked if people felt that walmart/kmart etc clothes were "below them and their children" and it escalated from there...last night when I posted it was like 12 pages long...

Where is the GR post?

Can someone give a recap? That's way too much reading! :lol:

Wow, that's some article, Lyndee. :disbelief: How sad.

Colleen - Thanks for the warning. Now ya got me thinking who it is. :scratch:

I want to try to find that GR post too, but don't know if I have that kind of time! :lol:

Someone from the other board that came about after UB ended, poted this on Gymborebel:

Ok, I know I'll probably get in trouble for saying this, but here goes: Do some of you really have a phobia over putting your kids in Kmart or Target or Walmart clothes? Or secondhand? Reading through some of these threads, I think that some of you would really have an issue with putting your kids in non designer clothes.

Now, I realize that some of you choose not to shop at mass merchandisers for "social conscience reasons".I get that. But I also get the sinking feeling that the truth is that some of you think that non designer clotes are beneath you and your child.

I'm not writing this to send some of you on a guilt trip. But I think it's important that we all teach our children that designer clothes are not the end all, be all. If we turn up our noses at a cute shirt becuase it doesn't have the right label, what do our kids learn? Will they learn to turn their noses up at little Johnny or Susie because they don't have the good fortune to wear the hippest, cutest stuff?

Don't get me wrong.I love Gymboree.I get excited over the lines,too. And when COF comes around, I'm happy as can be. But I also love other non-designer brands.

Anyway, it's Sunday night, my house is clean and my kids are asleep...I had some free time and just wanted to share.

Oooh, Colleen, I wonder who it is??

I can TOTALLY see that (the addiction thing) happening to some people. I honestly wonder about Strollerqueen and her strollers and whether or not that has caused problems, financial or otherwise, in her family. I think I have bargain-hunting in my blood, because my grandma was a notorious bargain-hunter, but I get physically ill when I buy more than we need or can afford. So for me, the short-lived shoppers high isn't worth the inevitable sickness I'll feel later if I over do it. And while I understand how it can happen... $50K in debt for children's clothes???? :faint: Wow.

It turned into 29 pages of drama at last count.................

Colleen took issue with her post......but the kicker is that the OP at GR devulged Colleen's name and Avery's and Sabrina's name.....which she needs to be anonymous on GR. [Don't worry, Colleen told me that I can share this with you all] So Colleen may be quiet for a little bit.

If anyone wants to know who it is, please PM me.....I am not going to post it here, don't want to sink down to her level.

Also, if you read the thread at GR, there is a pic of Ty Pennington with no shirt on...... :pant:

Let me just say. Yikes, about the GR thread. I have been reading it and am absolutely repulsed.

Ok nobody show that article to my DH. I would be banned from Gymboree for life. :lol:

Not a member at GR but :faint: wow! I shop at Target all the time for clothes and stuff. I obviously have no phobia of second hand stuff since I shop on Ebay too. :lol:

Interested to know who it is but I think I can live without knowing!

Anne~ Clear your PMS so I can reply to you pretty please!! I posted in your journal last night too!

Oops! :blush: It's clear now!

I saw this last night as well, but didn't want to bring it up since I knew colleen tried to stay anonymous over there. That's what really pissed me off, when she called avery and sabrina "colleen's props".

Ugh, that GR thread was only 3 pages long when I started reading it last night...CRAZY that it is 29+ pages now! I don't think I want to read through all of the posts to catch up. WAY too much drama over there. :(

I was reading it last night and it stopped at about page 7 and woke up this morning to 23 pages.

what?! Oh my! :disbelief:

I cant even find the right smilie for the shock that I am feeling re: what she said about Colleen.

That is absolutely crazy!

So, umm, is this just a troll trying to stir up trouble...I mean, she really doesn't have many posts at all over on the other side...

I don't know Jillian. I know that I don't have many posts over there either but I am certainly not a troll there. (Not that you would say I was) However, the way she outed Colleen is just unbelievable. She really must have some issues with someone in her life and is taking it out at GR.

So, umm, is this just a troll trying to stir up trouble...I mean, she really doesn't have many posts at all over on the other side...

The posts she does have paint a very different picture from what she posted at GR.


I was up last night surfing and logged onto GR and saw that thread when it just started. As I got reading, I recognized the OP's username and realized that I "saw" her at the other site. A quick search revealed that she mainly posted in the stroller addict thread about her Kate Spade Mac( andwanting to purchase a Bugaboo Frog,) designer diaper bags, and Gymboree. The home side is even more telling.

Anyhow, I just can't sit there seeing her basically bash people when she must be doing it to start trouble, so I posted about her "obsessions." Then came the personal attack where she stated my kids names and called them "my props." I fired back that she crossed the line, and maybe there was a reason that I liked to be confidential on GR. (Just like she calls her husband "Mr. Big" and her children aliases too.)

There must be other people who are members of the other site who are also on GR, because a few people quoted some of her stuff from the other site.

I read most of it last night and the whole thing is sickening. :(

First of all Colleen I am so sorry you have been treated so badly! THis is why I never really joined GR, they are ALWAYS bashing and ruining someone over there. How many people have they caused problems for, there site is nothing unless they can bash someone and truly hurt the person who has become the latest victom! THis is why I choose to become a member here on OUAL, I have not seen a mean or hurtful thread yet and hope I never will. I know tons of girls from GR and listen to their complaints about GR all the time and it always seems that the same click do the most bashing. (((HUGS))) Colleen I am so sorry the have caused you heartache.

There must be other people who are members of the other site who are also on GR, because a few people quoted some of her stuff from the other site.


I saw that too...I guess I just never paid attention though, cause I never realised what the "other site" she was on was till Amy posted...

Wow. Colleen, I'm so sorry she was such a *word that rhymes with witch* to you. :bighug: She must seriously have some issues!

Wow- I can't believe I got sucked into that thread. :eek:

Was she ever on here? (different user name?). Some of the details seem familiar...

I've never even heard of that site.. so sorry Colleen.. that totally sucks!! We love you!!! :sunny:

I went back today to spend my last 2 GBs, and I ended up getting another CG sweater coat. They only had one size 5 left, and I really think it's going to be a better fit for Katie, because the 5 is still too long in the arms and plenty long and wide enough for her. So, now I have a size 6 that I have to decide what to do with! I could return it or ebay it, and I'm not sure which is the better plan, honestly. If I return it, I have to buy another $42 worth of stuff to exchange it with (oh, darn! :lol: ), or lose my GB discount. But if I ebay it, I could use that $$$ to buy more ebay Gymbo stuff... Decisions, decisions! :lol:

Some of the details seem familiar to me, too - was she ever on here or UB? I don't think I recognize her from OLU, because I'm not a member there, although I do post in the areas I have access to (including the Gymboree thread, of course :lol: ).

I see what you mean Bretta. That is weird?? Have you looked on gymbohaven.com to see if you can see a difference??

Sorry Colleen :hug99: That is just wrong of her :catfight:

I have a question? I am a little bit confused about something...

I just got this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6785367948&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1) in the mail that I won on ebay, but I am thinking it is sewn backwards. but I don't know how the sweater was made. I know things like this can happen but was the sweater made and sold like this? you know how sweaters have a different stitch on front and back (or inside and outside), well this one is wavey on the outside (but should be the inside) and the inside is the 'V' looking stitch which is normally the outside stitch. Is this making any sense at all?

Some one please help me :)
Just checked mine and it is made the same way, so guess it is normal!:silly:

That post is nuts! I don't know all the political stuff going on behind the scenes at GR but I think some people need to get a life.

I like Gymbo because it's fun and I enjoy talking to you all about it because it is FUN. I love to shop and although I overspent in my early twenties, I now live within my means. I think the 50K lady would have obsessed over something else if not Gymboree.

I buy very expensive clothes (like Catimini) to Gymbo to KMart to secondhand. And if others want only Gymbo, more power to them! My son has about a zillion pairs of the world's most expensive socks... it's my little thing and I don't care if anyone else likes it.

I subscribe to GR but for some reason can never access the forums. I'm so lazy I keep forgetting to email them to get it fixed - now I NEED TO GET ON IT! But I probably won't post because no one will ever agree.

Sorry to the folks here who got snarled up in this. Now, I need to go see if I won my European Holiday outfit on ebay. :blush1:

POWER TO THE GYMBO SISTAS!

I went back today to spend my last 2 GBs, and I ended up getting another CG sweater coat.

Decisions, decisions! :lol:

I think I would ebay it, but that is JMO!

Well I spent my gymbucks jesterday but my two children were being hellions so I did not enjoy it very much. Grr! I ended up getting the WW sweatsuit, big bully tee, horsin around tee, orange plaid shirt from CZ, one of the rhino rompers, the PZ tractor romper, the kangaroo romper all for Will. Poor Maggie all she got was the charm bracelet leggings and charming ls tee. Although I have bought her about 3 outfits for fall last week on ebay so don't feel to bad for her! :)

Oh and to talk about line mixing- This afternoon Maggie was wearing her pool party tank and bike shorts, her WFF jacket, and her pink polka dot SF socks!

Wow! That's a lot of drama! I have left many forums over drama like that.

Darn it all! I was so excited about bidding on a DW reversible jacket last night and then I completely forgot! It sold for about $12! Ouch! I see there is another one up for auction, so I hope I can snag it!

:faint:

omg anne! did the drapes just fall on that kid? :rotflmao:

that has got to be the fugliest thing i have ever seen!

I am taking the leap and finally coming out of the gymbo closet. :lol: I need help identifying the very first pieces of gymbo I ever bought Ali. The pictures aren't great because they are hanging in shadow boxes in Ali's room. If you can identify them, I would appreciate it! I bought both outfits in October 2002 - mid October - it was only about a week before Ali was born. They are both preemie sized, so they would have been layette and I can't identify them on gymbohaven in layette.

This was Ali's coming home outfit - it's toile, pink and ivory with a little bow at the neckline.
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5db07b3127cce91868f26dc3700000026138FYs2bhk08

This one is my favorite outfit she had as a baby - it was so sweet on her and since we didn't buy many preemie outfits, she wore it a ton. It has pigs all over it.
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5db07b3127cce918689b7dca500000026138FYs2bhk08


I'm not interested in selling these at all, so if you can't identify them.. no problem. I was just wondering what the lines were called so I could find more of them in case we ever have another baby.

This one is from the winter 2002 Gymmies line and it's just called Piggies. I'm still looking for the other one.

The other one may be from Hope Chest? Gymbohaven doesn't have it listed but I think that was a 2002 layette line with pink toile. ??

Kimberly, welcome btw!! :)

That's too funny... we have always called it her "piggie" outfit. Thanks Jenn!

:nod: Yes, it is from Hope Chest.

I found the same romper on ebay:

It does look like Hope Chest but that line is from Spring '03. www.namethatline.net (http://www.namethatline.net) has some pictures of Hope Chest.

Wow. Am I glad I am missing all the drama. I am on neither site. Sorry Colleen. Some people just have to get a life instead of making other people's life their life and business.


Anne, what the heck is that? :lol:

I guess it isn't Hope Chest then... I definitely bought it in October 2002. :lol:

Frightening. You'd be ashamed of me to know how often I chat on AIM with a friend and we look for outfits precisely like this and promise each other that if the other showed an actual interest in it, we'd shoot them at dawn.

Maybe namethatline has it listed wrong? :dunno: I love that toile outfit!

I know - it's so incredibly fugly. AND... look at what someone bid on it!!!! :faint: Really, really rich people should be able to BUY some taste, I'd think! :lol: (Sorry if anyone secretly likes it!!! :lol: )

Kimberly, that was one of the first Gymbo layette lines that I truly, totally loved, and I didn't get ANY of it. I still regret that one! I can't remember the name of it, though, sorry!

Wow, holy fugliness Anne! That is scary....and what's with that big ol' floral garden on the hat? :lol:

omg anne! did the drapes just fall on that kid? :rotflmao:

I know...I'm always amazed at what people come up with for those custom one of a kind auctions, and even more amazed at what people are willing to pay for them. :silly:

I can't imagine anyone liking that outfit, unless they are looking for a job watching sheep.

http://www.gymbohaven.com/04zebr20.jpg

I totally love that HnS sweater coat. I seriously have to find the $$$ to buy Brettas. It's too, too cute! And is that Mod Zebra for Ava? I usually don't care for MZ at all, but I really like that!

I got the zebra one for $11 too! I was so excited! Yes, it's for Ava, I got her the green cords and the zebra top from that line a couple weeks ago and felt I NEEDED the sweater. :lol:

Nice wins Hilary! :up:

Ang has the MZ pants with the green top. :) And Alexia...of course a coordinating MZ outfit to go with her ;)

:lol2:

I got two more of my Ebay purchases in the mail today.

Somehow I ended up 3 Indian Summer shirts and I have 2 Indian Summer bottoms so I am on the hunt for the Indian Summer jeans or overalls now so I have an even number to mix and match!

This is the outfit I got her.

Very cute! I dont have anything from MZ... yet!

See, this is the most important word in this sentence...."yet"! Oh, but rest assured, you will! ;) :lol:

:devil: I know.... :devil:

Ok - This is a bit of a spinoff, but does anyone else have an obsessive compulsive issue of only being able to buy the clothes in a set? I 'have' to buy both the pants and the tops to match, and then when I wash and hang them up (yes all their clothes are hung :lol: ) I only put those items together. I never mix and match....

Anyone? Or am I alone in my looniness?

Julie, I put their outfits together in a drawer. Especially since Madelynn likes to pick out her own and puts on striped purple pants with like an orange tank top or something. :lol:

I have the opposite IS problem. I have a skirt and a jumper that both need matching tops. :lol:

Julie, I've started to do that this time around, too, but not because I won't mix and match (I definitely will) but because it helps DH to be able to dress her without freaking out. :lol: Also, Katie has started to have an opinion about what she wears (usually, this means she wants to be a *princess* and wear a dress or skirt) and I can envision the day where she's going to try to mix and match... with interesting results... so I'm trying to nip it in the bud by doing that for her! :lol:

I have that obsession. And my neighbor, who just recently bought her first gymbo, bought her daughter some gymbo jeans with a design on the bottom, and she just puts random onesies with it. Which of course if fine but it drives me crazy everytime!

And Anne, that dress is HORRIBLE!! And of course Lauren was sitting here when I pulled it up and she said "Ahhh.. a pricness." Not a chance kid!

I guess it isn't Hope Chest then... I definitely bought it in October 2002. :lol:

Not to be rude but are you sure you got the pink and cream outfit in October of 2002? The lines that came out in October was Snow baby that was sweatery(if that is a real word) and had burgandy colors. Is it a Tolle pattern? I have checked all the 2001 - 2003 lines and it matches Hope Chest only.:scratch:

Not a rude question at all... I definitely bought it in October 2002. It was Ali's coming home outfit and she was born October 26. I bought it around the middle of October - I was on bedrest and my trip to gymbo for preemie clothes was the only thing I did besides Dr. appointments. It does look like Hope Chest... I don't know how that's possible though.

Hmm wonder if it came from the San Fran test store and got shipped to your store by error or did they have other pieces too? Congrats you have baffled us!:silly:

Rarely do I mix and match, unless it is a sweater or something :lol:

Ona different topic, I am going to order some long sleve shirts to go with CG so the girls are able to wear it through the winter :nod: Did I mention when I did exchanges I walked out with over $100 more in clothes :blush:

Holy Cow Bretta!!! Your girls are going to be STYLIN this winter!!!

This is the outfit I got her.

http://www.gymbohaven.com/04zebr68.jpg
http://www.gymbohaven.com/04zebr56.jpg


Janelle has that outfit. I need another MZ top though...I won a lot on e-bay this past winter with a caab outfit, cs outfit and MZ outfit. It was the MZ jeans and black onesie...Onesies just dont work for us with her being potty trained and well, I hate the look of tucked in shirts, especially on girls. So I searched for a top and found a great deal on the previous outfit (plus coat and hat) and bought it with the assumption that we would keep the shirt and sell the rest, but even though I don't like the green cords, zebra fur coat, or hat, Janelle is in love with them, so I need another MZ top to go with the MZ jeans we already have.

The only things I mix and match are the accessories, like hats, hair pretties, and charms...and then usually with in the correct line, other than that I do the same thing as you, all outfits are hung up in sets and I'll never mix them.

Bretta~ I stopped buying th pj's too, only so that I could afford more clothes! Did you order any of the clothes from the forget me not kids site?
Jillian~ I thought I was the only one that hated the tucked in shirt look, especially on girls!! I only buy onesies for under sweaters or jumpers!

Hmm wonder if it came from the San Fran test store and got shipped to your store by error or did they have other pieces too? Congrats you have baffled us!:silly:


SF wasn't getting "test lines" yet...this year (I think with spring fun maybe???) was the first year they started doing this.

I guess I'm bad, and I mix and match. :blush: Opps. And I got the frog sweater hat FINALLY last night. :lol: It's a 12-14 mth I think, and it's HUGE :lol: but CUTE!!!! I will have to take pics of Michael in all his new digs:)

I don't have enough stuff to mix and match yet. I normally don't buy separates because I fear I won't have anything to match them. So, I almost always buy sets - right now at least. Now that Carter is older, I buy separates all the time because most of his shirts can go with jean shorts or jeans. I don't know if I'll ever do that for Heather or not.

Thanks, but I have learned my lesson and NOT hoard them, but sell them for the next same season ;)

Some might consider me a serious addict, but then again I don't have ANY Gymboree pj's so it must not be that bad ;) They generally get GASP other brand pj's :lol:

I am *just* starting to learn that lesson! It ha hard lesson to learn! But I still haven't been able to NOT buy the pj's! :blush1:

I've JUST branched out to getting a couple of tops that can go with a bottom. And I do match plain basics from other brands (jeans/neutral colored pants and skirts) with tops. DH sometimes gets mixed up, if I don't put outfits together on hangers (and Isabelle picks her own clothes from the drawers sometimes)- it's interesting, to say the least :)

I think it's easier to mix/match the boys stuff:) And, I listed the Lion romper in the b/s/t forum.

I don't have this compulsion at all! I will buy matchy stuff, but I try to get things that go with stuff we already have too... and Caroline has been picking out her clothes since before she was 2, so it wouldn't matter if I did get all matchy stuff... she is constantly wearing creative combos :) I like to see what she puts together!

Hmm wonder if it came from the San Fran test store and got shipped to your store by error or did they have other pieces too? Congrats you have baffled us!:silly:

I honestly don't remember if they had other pieces or not. I made a quick trip to gymbo with DH after a dr's appointment where we found out Ali would be about 5-6 pounds. I asked the sales associate for something preemie in pink and got the two outfits I posted. :lol: I didn't mean to cause all this confusion... great for the first time I post about gymbo. :lol:

I just went to check the tag - it says 2002 on it. I have no idea how I would have been able to get something from a 2003 line early at my gymbo store in Nashville. I'm confused... :lol:

WOW! What a dress! I cannot believe there are 14 bids and it is up so high! I'd pay that much to have someone take it OFF my daughter if she was dressed that way! Ugh!

Spinoff question: I rarely mix and match lines. I tend to buy a lot of each line and mix and match only within the line itself. And I HATE onsies with jeans or shorts unless it's on a newborn. Onsies are for days that DH is watching her and she is bound to look like a disaster by the time I get home! :lol We also have everything hung up and together so that I can find the matching lines easily.

Another question: Now that I am into resale of gymbo...do you usually sell off everything when you are done with it or do you keep a few pieces? Kira is our first baby and we plan on another, but what are the chances of having another girl in the same season? Maybe I'd be better off just to save the special ones (coming home, baptism, etc...) and sell the rest. Are the lines that are harder to find that I might hang on to?

Kira is EIGHT MONTHS OLD today and I'll be taking her monthly pictures! I'll post 'em soon!

Sometimes the tags say the year it was designed so if it was an early 2003 line, it's feasible that the tag could say 2002. I'm confused too! :lol:

I am not a big mix and matcher but Genavieve is wearing a Pool Party Onesie and Shorts from Spring Fun today. :lol:


I got the Portabello Road lot I won on Ebay in the mail today! :jump:

Alysia - The Tiger Love outfits came in the mail yesterday. Thanks!

Hilary - I got the gymbucks today and I'm off to the tier 1 to go spend them now! :lol:

Wow, that was fast Amy! Have fun!

I am another one who always buys things that match. I rarely mix and match unless it is a top with a pair of plain pants (ie Denim Jeans). I always buy pants and top together at gymbo.

Kira is EIGHT MONTHS OLD today and I'll be taking her monthly pictures! I'll post 'em soon!
Angelina is 8 mos. today too! :biggrin:

Alysia - The Tiger Love outfits came in the mail yesterday. Thanks!


I am so glad you got them! Everytime I checked the USPS website yesterday it didnt have any updated delivery info and I was starting to freak out!

Angelina is 8 mos. today too! :biggrin:

Holy moly! I can't believe I didn't notice that until today! Happy 8 month birthday Angelina!

http://gymbohaven.com/1545-2072_front_18436.jpg

Hi everyone! I know I dont talk much but I was wondering if those of you who sell on ebay can take a look at MY FIRST AUCTION LISTING and tell me how it looks and if there are any pointers you have. I know my pics are kinda bad, I need some practice. It doesnt start until tomorrow night so I have some time to add more things. Thanks!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4751894295

Oh, and I like to buy matching things too, the only mix and match I do is usaully with Gap or Old Navy --t shirts and jeans/shorts that kind of thing, but my gymbo is all matched down to socks and hairbows (with the exception of the CG cord jumper I'm getting pink Gap mary janes instead of the clogs)

Other people can't see your auction before it starts, sorry!

I tend to buy sets, although some of the casual tops/shorts I might mix and match.

As for obsessed with making sets, I bought the Daisy Cow romper off of BST. THEN I bought the matching coat off of a seller at ebay (lost the auction, but she sold me another one). NOW I'm trying to get the hat, then... you get the idea. I almost have more fun buying the stuff on auctions than in the store. Same thing with Days of Yesteryear, I'm obsessed with finding the 6-12 (9-12?) coat that she'll probably never even wear, but it will COMPLETE THE SET of dress, hat, socks, hair thingies, etc.

My cow coat arrived today at work and in my glee of opening it I got some of the "she's crazy" looks from coworkers who obviously didn't like it. We need "virtual package opening" on here so we can open our stuff around people who will appreciate it.

I also forgot to mention that I hate it when I pick up the kids (OK daughter just started today but you get the idea) and they've taken off on of the items from the carefully matched set I sent them in. Yes, I send them in Gymbo clothes to daycare. Not everything, but some of it.

Other people can't see your auction before it starts, sorry!

OOPS! I didn't know that. Just goes to show you how new I am at this!! Thanks anyway!

I've never sold anything either for fear I'd screw it up and get negative feedback on the first thing. Then I see how others use sales to buy more stuff and I think that I should do it too! Good luck!

I was bidding on a Euro Holiday set yesterday that I let get away and am now kicking myself. :tantrum:

OOPS! I didn't know that. Just goes to show you how new I am at this!! Thanks anyway!

Bridget, you'd do just fine - I promise.

Okay, well I decided one of the CG outfits I bought for Katie looked silly on her, so instead of returning it, I thought I'd try to list it on ebay first. I tried to do a 3-day auction, so I would still have time to return it if it didn't sell. Somehow, though, I wound up with a 5-day auction! :complain: Does anyone know how to change the ending time? Or should I just pull the sucker and return it???

I do have more stuff I could buy for Katie with the $$$ if I returned it. She needs 2 more tops from AW, I think, as well as some shoes to go with her CG outfits, since the Target ones don't come in her size. And I'm contemplating getting the IAGT dress, too. Oh, and she needs AW hair pretties and a charm bracelet and charms...

Okay, maybe need isn't exactly the right word... ;)

For the purposes of this thread I vote that "want" is a word that's not allowed. NEED is the only acceptable verbiage.

I NEED to go to bed, but I NEED to keep shopping on ebay because I NEED some more Gymbo. :tongue2:

Did you guys see Janie and Jacks sweater coat? I love it!

And still on the janie and jack topic (though this goes for gymbo too)... I'm so tired of the navy blue/orange combo for boys!!!! I swear, every other line ends up being in these colours!

Did you guys see Janie and Jacks sweater coat? I love it!
The cable knit one? If that's the one your talking about, I do like it...but unfortunately not the color (ivory)! :down:

Ok I am so ready to see the new lines coming out IRL, I saw the pictures you all posted and can not wait to get my hands on the new duster sweater coat. It is really silly, but since I have HNS and CG I need the My Best friend one. It is so cute and perfect colors for winter. :thumbsup:

Hmm just looked at the picture again and the sweater has buttons not the toggle ones....dang!

I'm all about the MBF stuff, I can't wait to buy some. I just went a bit crazy on eBay buying Janie and Jack's Peace on Earth stuff from last year, I loved it so much and didn't get any before it was sold out so I had to get it today! Can't wait to get them in the mail and try them on the girls. When I get home it's really time for a fashion show since their gymbo came yesterday!!

Hey Nicole - what does the Peace on Earth stuff look like?

I line mix some stuff. Like I have some SF tops that look good w/ her PP shorts. And I have a shirt from Childrens Place that matches the SF flowers capris perfectly.

This is it Karri

I got both the girls the hat and the shirt with the people on it. Abby got the white sweater, red pants that weren't on the site and the jeans. Addy got the jumper and the sweater dress. Now I'm looking for the tights...

Ok I am so ready to see the new lines coming out IRL, I saw the pictures you all posted and can not wait to get my hands on the new duster sweater coat. It is really silly, but since I have HNS and CG I need the My Best friend one. It is so cute and perfect colors for winter. :thumbsup:

Hmm just looked at the picture again and the sweater has buttons not the toggle ones....dang!


I think that line comes out August 25th. The other one, with the roses and leapord print comes out august 9th.

Woohoo! I finally won the DW that I needed!
http://http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4749825460&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1
Now it's just the reversible jacket and I'm done! I'm so excited! I didn't even LIKE this line when it came out, but this fall I just had to have it all!

Bridget...what are you looking for in Euro Holiday and what size? I have several things in 3-6 months but Kira wore them until she was about 7 months.

Hmmmm...my link doesn't work. This is what I won! And for only $26!!!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v51/babykat74/mvc-018f_8.jpg

That was a great score! I am sure Kira will look ADORABLE in it!

A question for those of you who've used esnipe.....what if other people are using it to snipe the same auction?? Does that happen? I haven't used it yet but since I keep getting outbid on the same outfit over and over, I think I need to sign up!!!

If two people use esnipe on the same auction, whoever has the higher bid between the two of them will win. :)

Nicole and Bearskat (sorry, I don't know your name!) - great finds! :biggrin:

Kath, I have just started using esnipe for when I am away. I have been outbid before and been really upset :blush: I set the time for 3 or 4 seconds to put in my bid because I have been outbid on quite a few things leaving it at the 6 sec norm :dunno:

Ooooh, I thought you couldn't bid with only 3-4 seconds left. I'll have to go and change my settings!! I keep being away from the computer (hmmm, wonder why with 2 kids) at auction close and getting outbid by $.50 on the SAME outfit.

I got one of my ebay wins in the mail yesterday and OMG, I don't think Katie will ever fit into these overalls!!!!

http://www.gymbohaven.com/04jard13.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/04jard15.jpg

They are 12-18 months, but SOOOO long!! I wonder if I should be bidding on 9-12 month clothing for her if it was in a layette line? She has some 12-18 month summer rompers that fit well now, but she also has the JF romper already in 9-12 months with a little room to grow. I'd just hate to buy 9-12 month clothes for early fall/winter, only to have to buy them all again in 12-18 months for late winter spring if she grows out of them. I like clothes to be loose on her but these pants are LONG!!!

That is a cute line, Nicole!

Katie - that is my favorite DW skirt :heart:

Just my opinion and I have a very strangely sized girl, but JF ran HUGE, Janelle still can't wear the 12-18 month dress yet cause it just looks ridiculous...I think when she is about 5 the dress and pants will make a cute little capri/swing top outfit. Anyway...the only layette line that I think ran as big as JF is Alphabet Soup (both boys and girls...the m is for mouse sweater dress in 12-18 is seriously the same exact size as the giraffe club sweater dress in 18-24, and they are both the same size as the tiger love red heart dress in 2t...I love gymbo sizing). But in general, I think Layette runs bigger than baby girl.

Esnipe is how I won that DW auction last night. I was teaching my Lamaze class last night and wasn't sure I'd make it home in time. I'm so glad I set that up!

Ok, I am changing to 4 seconds b/c I found the CUTEST Janie & Jack outfit that I seriously HAVE TO have. Even more than the JF stuff I keep losing. :lol: Is there a 12 step program for ebay-addiction?

Jillian, I guess I'll just buy the 12-18 month clothes and then rebuy my favorites in 9-12 if fall is here and Katie is still swimming in them. Another instance of inconsistent Gymbo sizing. ;)

Which lines usually have the heavy duty winter stuff, like coats? August? That's really the only thing Madelynn needs for winter is a heavy coat, so I have to have something to look forward to. :lol:

Last year they were with Hide and Seek, which I think was August...not sure exactly.

What Janie and Jack outfit Kath?

:nod: The HNS winter coat is pretty cute! I love the light blue color from HNS.

I still have one from Old Navy in 12-18m that was absolutely huge on G last winter but I think it will be too small this time around. Need to try it on her before I go buy another one.

I afree that those JF overalls are long. I bought 12-18 months for Emma last year and they just fit now. Yet she is starting to fit into 18-24 in other lines. :silly:

I finally got this shirt on ebay in 6-12 for 3.99. WOO HOO!

http://www.gymbohaven.com/04eurp61.jpgNow I want the striped pants to match... and then socks and then... and then...

And then maybe I need 3-6 also. Watcha got?

Woohoo! I finally won the DW that I needed!

Its the red velour yoga set from Little Ladybug, that says "Ladybug" across the front. AND I WON!! :thumbsup: For under $20 too!!! YAY for esnipe! :lol: I love that Ladybug line, so now I'll be in search of more items from it, since I NEED them. :lol:

I got my HNS Sweater Dress and 2 Folk Song outfits in the mail today!! :jump:

This is what I have in EH in 3-6 month. Since you are collecting in size 6-12, they probably won't fit her. Maybe the tights, though, if you are looking to get a skirt or dress. They were the next size up and I remember them being really big! I don't know if I can bear to part with anything else since it was my favorite outfit! :bawl: She looked so darn cute and small in them! But, if you see anything you were looking for, LMK. If it means more for this year, then I might be persuaded! ;)

I think it will be light blue/teal from the My Best Friend coming out on 8/25. The sneek peek pictures show a winter coat.

Yes, that was the shearling coat from Puppy Love. So cute! I wish I had one for Peyton.

Um what size are you looking for? I have a 2 and 5 (or 4) w/ hats

I would need a 4 for Peyton. Oh, I would love to have that coat! Let me know!

Those coats are adorable!!! I almost got one for Angelina off of ebay, but you know how that is....I would have to find one for Alexia too. :lol:

:lol: I am the same way Dawn. Hence not minding selling them ;)
I'm glad you understand! :lol: I'm such a psyco when it comes to matching & coordinating my girls. You must really have a ball...with THREE girls! :lol:

:banana: I just won the CS yoga set (size 3) with socks and hair pretties for Alexia! And today I just received the CS yoga set I won for Angelina! Which reminds me...I have to put the CS yoga set (size 2T) up on ebay....keep forgetting. :lol:

Gymbo returns - remind me again how this works? I have some things that don't look right on her, from CG, that I intend to return, as well as an extra sweater coat and a pair of tights that I bought with my GBs, and a few things from GB earning that she doesn't fit into either. What I'd like to do is return it all for a merchandise credit and save most of that for the next two lines. Is that possible? Or do I need to exchange everything for stuff right now?

I think you need to do it without a receipt, to keep your Gymbucks savings...

I'm sure I can return the CG stuff without a receipt, but can I still return the sale stuff (BP) that I bought without a receipt? Or will I get hassled about it? And also... should I go to a Gymbo that I don't normally shop at to do the returns? I don't want to tick off my nice sales lady! :lol:

My daughter is on her third day of daycare and the ladies this morning were like, your son and daughter always match from head to toe, even your little boy's shoes match his outfit!

WELL, OF COURSE. No self-respecting Gymbo mom would settle for less!!

Also, was a bit early for DD's checkup today so zoomed into a kid's consignment store. Lots of used Gymbo, but the PRICES! :scratch: MORE than you'd pay in an ebay auction war and the stuff was all definitely well worn. You could buy NWT and pay shipping on ebay for the same price if not less. So I bought about 100 books that we don't need instead. :silly:

Greetings from Azerbaijan! I got internet access sooner than I thought. It is like 3in the morning here, my ds will not sleep:morning:. Anyway, since I am soooooooooo far away from any gymbo store I am going to rely on you guys to tell me about the new lines coming out. I don't trust the website, LOL.

Also, I am looking hard for the miniature golf onesie in 9-12 and the cutie pie s/s onesie in 12-18 if anyone sees them!

Welcome back! I'll bet this is the first post ever on UOAL from Azerbaijan. Plus, now everyone will know how to spell it!

:welcome: Too bad we can't video in the store or I could shoot a virtual tour for you!

I got the HnS sweater coat and Ava's mod zebra top today! :banana:

Anyone know how to get huge blood stains out of gymboree? Poor Maggie had an accident today and had to get 3 stitches in her lip. :bawl: Of course when it happened she had to be wearing her BP top and bike shorts. They are just soaked through with blood. I soaked them in saline water and then in oxy clean- do you think anything will help or should I just toss them?
Maggie is doing fine- actually if you ask her where her owie is she shows you a scab on her foot! I am hoping she sleeps well tonught but I am not betting on it.

Oh poor baby I hope she heals soon, as for the blood did you boil the top in oxy clean or just soak it? I have found that boiling it in oxy clean works wonders.:thumbsup:

I'm glad she's ok - how did she sleep?

Boy moms, I need some ideas. Our friends' son Nathan is turning 3 soon, and I want to get him a Gymbo outfit for his birthday. I am thinking of something for the fall, but I'm not sure which lines I like. Any suggestions? I am pretty sure we'd be looking in Kid Boy. DH will ask Nathan's father tonight for exact sizes.

We have some stuff at our store that's supposed to get out blood. It's called White Wizard. I'm going to buy some today to try on some older stains, and I'll let you know how it works, but I don't have a blood stain to try it against. (Thank goodness!) I'm glad Maggie is okay! How scary! :hug99:

Oh poor baby I hope she heals soon, as for the blood did you boil the top in oxy clean or just soak it? I have found that boiling it in oxy clean works wonders.:thumbsup:


Hot water is bad for blood stains, you need to soak it as soon as possible after the incident in cold water, it will usually come out with just cold water, but if not peroxide will usually take it out (though you should do a fabric test first since peroxide can also bleach some fabrics)...but I think peroxide will only work if you haven't put it in warm/hot water yet cause heat will set a blood stain.

I also found a website that said to soak it in straight shampoo - rubbing it in, of course. But previously I'd heard to use peroxide as well. Good luck!

:bighug: Thanks everyone! She slept really good last night I was amazed! I think she was just totally wore out.

I got the stains out of the bike shorts but not the top. I have not tried the peroxide yet so maybe I will try that. It may be a lost cause though!

I've just done multiple soaks (changing the water frequently) in cold water with oxyclean, until it fades to just a pale spot, then I use Shout and Totally toddler both, and work it in with a toothbrush til I rub most of the rest of it away, then wash it in cold. If it doesn't come out, I repeat a soak in oxyclean, followed by a repeat of the shout and totally toddler if it's not all out, and wash again. If it's not out at that point, it's a lost cause.

I've used peroxide once (to get out a nail polish stain from my own clothes when I was a teenager) and it worked well, but you do have to worry about bleaching- depends on how dire the stain is, I think :) If you're just going to throw it out...why not give it a try? :)

Well, I'm leaving to drop off Alexia to camp in about 1/2 hr. I decided to stop by the Gymbo store since it's close to there. I called them and I had them hold the striped cardigan sweater in a 3T (since I'm loving how it looks w/ the striped tights :up: ). Then I also have alot of returns:

From CG (and used with GBs)
- pink headband
- pink clogs (size 9) way too big

From AW:
-size 3T of the clam diggers (HUGE!!!!!)
- corker hair pretties (she already has a set. Oops :blush1: )

From BP:
- BP 3T white body suit w/ the purple flowers by the collar

So I guess I WON'T bring in the receipts for these. I'll just get store credit. I probably can bring in the receipt from the AW stuff though since GBs weren't involved in those purchases.

Ok, did all my returns and got a store credit. :up:

Also, I picked up this denim pleated skirt:

http://gymbohaven.com/romant4.jpg


We already have this one
http://gymbohaven.com/aug05l43.jpg

but I think I like the way the first one looks in person (I like the darker blue). But to make sure, I will have to do another fashion show...one with the pleated skirt and then with the other one...to see which skirt looks better with the stuff I got. But either way, I gotta bring one of them back....we'll see which one goes....

I bought these on GR+ this week.

Which means I have both of those complete outfits now!!! I wish I would of fallen in love with this line when it was still in the stores! Collecting it all has been difficult, I still have a bunch more lion stuff to get.

I just won this on ebay for Ava. :blush:

It's from Snow Angels? I'd never heard of this line. :lol: Apparently it's from '02, but I don't care. I think it's cute. :)

It's funny, the same time I was bidding on this one I saw another in M's size. :eek: the seller has some crappy feedback though, so I guess I'll just look some more. :lol2:

Brandi: try Fels Naptha. It's a bar soap. It got dried blood out of Avery's quilt. I have no idea when the blood got on it, so I'm guessing it had been there a while.

Colleen, I should have thought of that, too. I use Fels Naptha on lots of stuff.

I have some Mod Zebra pants for sale.

Hilary, I have the nightgown and slippers if you're interested. I think the nightie is a 4 or 5, and the slippers are probably an 11. Would that fit Madelynn?

Okay, someone with a tiny little one really NEEDS to buy this and take a picture for me to see - it's too cute!

Yes! Unlike her bigfoot sister, Madelynn only wears an 8 for now. :lol: How much would you want for it? DH doesn't get paid until Saturday. I would need to wait until then.

I think that's a sleeping bag...not a costume or bunting or anything...but I could be wrong.

Hilary, that's totally fine. I still need to figure out where I put them! Let me find them and check them over, and then I'll PM you about it.

Jillian, bummer! It would make SUCH a cute bunting!

That sounds fair to me, Bretta. Maybe she will offer to refund some of the money.

Bretta, that's great how your just about done with the girls' fall/winter stuff! :up:

I think you did the right thing. Please let us know what she says. The thing is, it does say in the auction that the condition is excellent. A person is not going to be expecting stains if it says excellent. I hope she's cool about it....

I think your email to her - it was very nice! Hopefully, she will refund you something. It says it's in great condition and the other items are in excellent condition. I wouldn't think that "great condition" would allow for stains. I wouldn't be happy with it.

I agree!

Oh, that's kind of sad. I always like seeing what you're getting. I've noticed a general downturn in activity here since gymbucks. Everyone is busy paying off those bills!

still no word from her yet but I will keep you all posted, Thank again :)

I can post my recent ebay wins!

Anne, those Mod Zebra pants are the ones I'm looking for for Ava. :lol: The green cords didn't go well with the sweater.

This is my only recent win I haven't posted, and it's just a onsie to go with the yoga suit I won Ava.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4751377594&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT

I just got my last Ebay purchase in the mail! The Indian Summer Denim Patchwork Jeans.

Hilary - I saw that! :lol: I bid on the corderoy jacket last night, too, but it went WAAAAYYY too high. (Like almost $50! :eek: ) It's cute, but not THAT cute. :lol:

Did anyone else hear that the Gymbo stores had major markdowns today? I think PP went to 60% off, and so did TP, and AW is supposed to be at 40% now! I'm going tonight, so I'll verify if that's true or not. :lol: And I'm going to try to see what remaining deals I can get for next summer!

If not, I can verify tomorrow when I start working there. :)

Bretta! 20 packages!! :eek: :lol:

Amy, Good luck with your first night. :up:

Cute buys everyone! Gymboree really ought to send out thank you letters to everyone on this site. We pretty much keep them in business on our own, even if lots of it is purchased via ebay.

Yeah, with a 95% off discount code or something. :lol:

There are more markdowns. I just got the email from Gymbo.com

Woo hoo! I didn't make it there tonight, but I'm headed there tomorrow. I'll let you all know what deals I find!

I got Alexia's City Sidewalks Yoga set and her HnS striped dress (NWT!) in the mail! :yippee: I'm glad I got her the 2T dress......they run BIG!!!

Oooh, let us know about the sale. I wonder how long it's going on for. Won't be home today....we'll be at Sesame Place. :)

If not, I can verify tomorrow when I start working there. :)

Good luck today Amy! :1pound:

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Argh, I stopped in yesterday and totally forgot to use my merchandise credit! :duh: This is the first time I've had one, so it was just sitting in my purse! :disbelief

Oooh, let us know about the sale. I wonder how long it's going on for. Won't be home today....we'll be at Sesame Place. :)


I don't think it's actually a sale, just markdowns, pool party is now 60%, AW 40% and RG 20%

Ack, that stinks Lette! Guess ya gotta go back for more!! :awink:

Can you help me with a line ID? These are from when Katie was tiny, and I couldn't make myself give them up for the longest time, but I really need to clear this stuff out, so I'm biting the bullet. :lol:

This is from 2001, and is layette, I think?? It's white velour with tiny flowers embroidered on it.

And finally, this is a swing top and bloomies, from 2001 - I think it's the Butterflies line, but I can't find it in the listing on GH for some reason.

I would guess this would be from Strawberry Patch.
Not sure on the others

Have you tried www.namethatline.net (http://www.namethatline.net) ? They have some older lines than GH.

ETA :I found the bloomers on NTL listed under Butterflies but I dont see the swing top.

I am editing my post for a 3rd time because I found the exact match for both under "Summer Florals" Layette 2002 on NTL

Your burgundy one piece romper is Layette Holiday Snow October 2002

I would guess this would be from Strawberry Patch.
Not sure on the others

I was going to guess strawberry fields.

Thanks Alysia! I hadn't tried that site yet. I found all of them except this one:
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y8/aahree/DSC00428.jpg

The strawberry one was Strawberry Patch, the swing top and bloomies were Butterflies and the knit jumper with the satin color was Holiday Snow, if I'm remembering that correctly.

:lol: We must've posted at the same time. I'm going to check back at NTL and see, because I thought I saw both the swing top and bloomies under Butterflies! :lol:

The first one has me stumped

Nope, you're right, it was under layette Summer Florals! Thanks! Now, to find that white footed thing!

I am still stumped on the first one. I dont see anything similar that is footed although I did see a possible match without feet

Bretta~ Post pictures. I love playing detective! :lol:

Weird! I'm wondering if it is early 2001 Gymmies (because of the feet). It might be a moot point, anyway, because I found a stain on it. :( I'm soaking it in Spray n Wash 2 in 1 right now, to see if I can get it out, but it's a 6-12 month, so it was worn almost 3 years ago now... I'm thinking it's probably set. :(

Hey, girls, this is kind of off topic, but I was thinking about making some scrapbook page kits to match some Gymbo lines, and putting them up on ebay. Do you think there'd be any interest for that? I can't find anything like it on there right now. I'm debating putting together a mini album of only Gymbo stuff, and figured if I was going to put it together for me, I might as well put together a few extra. :dunno:

Hmmm... Velour Gymmies? Interesting... I will look again in a bit... I am going to go to lunch now!

I know! And the snaps up the back make me think it's not Gymmies, because babies are supposed to sleep on their backs and that just wouldn't be comfy! But the feet have me stumped, because I don't remember any other footed jumpers at Gymbo, ever! I'm thinking that if it's not Gymmies, it HAS to be layette. There's no way they'd make footed anything in bigger sizes, even if it was a BG-only item, I don't think.

I probably would, Anne :blush: But the only thing is I don't have EVERY line so I wouldn't exactly need some pages. Ya know?

That is a good point. How would you decide which pages to put in a kit?

Bretta~ I think I saw that earlier... I will look again..

Now I am really going to lunch this time!! :blush: I never did go before!

I've seen them on e-bay before...I saw a hide and seek one not to long ago...it was at $6 when I found it, but I never remembered to check again to see how much it went for.

I'd just do them grouped by line, I think. So a 1-2 page kit that all coordinates with MZ, for example, would have black and dark green cardstock, and a zebra-print PP, and some black and white or zebra-print ribbon, and other coordinating embellies, to make 1-2 pages.

If I was going to do a whole album, I'd probably do it as a made-to-order thing, I guess, because it would be hard to choose which lines to put in otherwise.

Bretta, that looks familiar to me, but I don't know what it is. I'll look a little more in a bit!

What a bummer that she's not contacting you to make this right. :(

OMG! Okay, it's not Gymbo, but check out the custom auction I just won!!! :faint: I can't believe I got it for this cheap! :eek: I feel so bad, I actually emailed the seller offering to let her cancel the auction and relist, because this isn't even going to cover her materials, let alone her time. But she said nope, her loss was my gain! :woo:

Sheesh... I go to lunch and you take away all my fun!

:updown: :lol:

:lol: You can still beat your head against a brick wall... errr... try to find my white velour thing! :lol:

:lol: I may end up :banghead: over it!

Its hard to tell on NTL because some of the pictures aren't very clear and there is no closeup.

Alright... Anne can you take a picture of the tag and post it?!?!?

I know! I wonder if I put it up at GR, if anyone there would know what it is?

Yep! I'll have to do that later, though, because it's soaking in the wash right now. I'm still hoping to get the stain out...

Okay, it's ALMOST out. Probably another hour or so of soaking will get it done. I'm telling you, that Spray n Wash 2 in 1 stuff is amazing. :woo: Who knew I could get this excited about stain remover? :lol:

Since she refunded you partially, I'd leave positive FB. It's not worth risking a negative to leave her neg. or neutral. :(

Sheesh... I go to lunch and you take away all my fun!

:updown: :lol:

Sorry Alysia :blush: I will leave Anne's outfit to you. I looked and have no clue. It's all yours . :lol:

Sorry Alysia :blush: I will leave Anne's outfit to you. I looked and have no clue. It's all yours . :lol:

:lol2: Thanks... Leave me the difficult one!

You can look up a blue layette outfit (romper???) that has pink flowers ;)

This one just for kicks ;) (BTW I am bummed it sold for so little :( )

Did you sell it on Ebay? Do you have a link to the auction?

I have one for you to ID. It is probably Fall of 2001. It was given to my by someone who's DD was born then I am guessing Sweet Chic but not certain. It is the outfit Emma is wearing (at a month old) not my niece.

Bretta, that sounds fair to me.

Definitely not Sweet Chic. Still working on it.

:tantrum: I am stumped on yours too Eva.

Ooh I think I have seen that one Bretta.... :lol:

I am driving myself BONKERS! :crazy:

:lol: You beat me. I just found it too. :)

bretta you should try and include the line name in the auction, and the word vintage. you might get more bids but honestly i think that was an average price for such an old piece.

eva that's garden party
http://www.namethatline.net/gardenparty

I couldn't resist stopping by the store today and picking up a bit of the "sale" merchandise. I even got Ahna a few things for now instead of only buying ahead... but I bought ahead too... :tongue2: It's bad when the staff recognizes you at two different stores (and possibly three).

At least I got these... the last pair in two stores in the size I needed. They must have been a return or hiding in back. HOORAY!

That's just what I was going to post.

They had just gotten these out at the Gymbo I visited today. I like kind of wild shoes, and I'm going to get these for Caleb as soon as there's some sort of discount.

http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/140002831?$240x305$
Too bad this is Gymbo only or I'd post some other shoes I'm looking at for him. Perhaps a new thread... I love kids shoes!

Okay, I went to Gymbo today, and ours hadn't done the markdowns yet on RG or AW. :( But I didn't really *need* any of that, anyway, right? I did score a few charms, though - Apres Ski, Dandelion Wishes, Sugar Cookie and Pool Party. I also got the curly loops and a hair clip for Pool Party, and a charm bracelet. And I still have about $140 in credit!

ok guys I am a little frustrated. I had about 5 gymbos within an hour from me just a month ago. Now that I am across the world from any gymbo I have all these problems. :disbelief

1) I got out Anders' clothes that I bought during redemption and the KH hoodie has a big hole it it :bawl:.

2) I took back the At The Beach pants and onesie because they were gigantic in 18-24 months. I looked at the 12-18 in the store and thought he could probably wear that next summer. So I did an on-line order and the 12-18 month onesie is smaller than his 9-12 month onesies. :furious:It wasn't like that in the store!! Could it have been mismarked?! It sais 12-18 on the tag!!

3) The "N" on "Pony Rides" on his PZ onesie is only halved stitched.

What the heck is going on at big gymbo? I never had bad luck with their stuff. Only now that I am across the ocean do I have problems. And the online store doesn't do exchanges. GRRRR. Sorry needed to vent. I am not very happy with the quality this time around!!!!!!!:complain:

That's horrible, did you try to contact someone?

Oh, Robyn, that sucks. :(

Oh- I'm so bummed. I had a bid on an auction I really wanted (wrap top and skirt from Cherry blossoms) and was all set to manually snipe if need be, when my internet connection flaked out on me, with 2 minutes to go :bawl: I ended up losing the auction :(

Shoot! What about checking to see if the same items are in someone's ebay store? What size were you looking for?

That sucks :(

I finally won the SFF striped dress I have been watching for a while :woo:



http://i10.ebayimg.com/01/i/04/9c/88/87_1_b.JPG

I also won this 3 piece lot (also SFF):


http://i19.ebayimg.com/02/i/04/96/e1/08_1_b.JPG

I love that SFF stuff... we have tons of it (including I think all the pieces you won!) It is definitely one of my favorite lines... I popped into Gymbo today and am happy to report I left empty handed. I think I am on a Gymbo break for a while unless they come out with a line I MUST have. The last line I really loved was DW. Since then, I have not been that thrilled with the stuff, though I do like CG.

So cute Eva!! I have been eyeing SFF but just have one outfit from it.

Ohh that reminds me! Alysia, I checked for the rain coat at the outlet, and though they have it, they were trying to sell it for 15.99, which is just insane, so I didn't buy one!

awww bummer Jillian. I'll see if I can find one for less on EBay! Thanks for looking!

I'm betting you can get it cheaper on ebay, Alysia. That's nuts!

I'm betting you can get it cheaper on ebay, Alysia. That's nuts!


Yea, especially since I bought for 2.99 during a rhds.

Shoot! What about checking to see if the same items are in someone's ebay store? What size were you looking for?

I was bidding on it in a 4- that's the only problem with bidding on e-bay. Isabelle would fit better in a 5 (well, 4 fits her perfectly, now), but size 5 in an elastic waist skirt falls right off. I've bid on this combo in several auctions, but always get outbid, so I guess I've gotta just keep trying :shrug: :(

Yea, especially since I bought for 2.99 during a rhds.

:eek:

I got these cords from TCP:

I hope the cardigan still fits Lauryn this fall. I love this sweater!

Lyndee, awesome that you found those pants at TCP :up: Exact color as CAAB! :up: I was thinking of hunting down that sweater for Alexia, since she has the CAAB yoga set and can wear it with the pants as well.

I have bids on these three outfits on ebay right now:

Amy~ That last one is too cute!!

How was your first day at Gymbo?

It was good. It wasn't a busy night, but I did ring up a couple customers without messing anything up! :)

I already lost the first one. It was my least favorite, so that's okay. Hopefully I'll win the other two!

Lyndee, awesome that you found those pants at TCP :up: Exact color as CAAB! :up: I was thinking of hunting down that sweater for Alexia, since she has the CAAB yoga set and can wear it with the pants as well.

I got the CAAB velour pants last year but I think it'll be too short on her so I had to find a replacement! I just absolutely love this sweater so I'm having to find other bottoms to go with them. I already got the orange velour pants in a bigger size for this year.

I went to yetanotha Gymbo today (STUPID STUPID STUPID) and of course had to buy more stuff, including a pair of Pool Party pants in the same size I already have. DUH. Now I have to go back.

I also decided to bite the bullet and get the Gymbo card (probably will replace my regular credit card with this one) and got 25% off my purchase (plus I think another $25 credit or something...) so went ahead and bought the CZ boots for my son. I just know they'll sell out of his size, and since they're not online...

This is a tier 2 store (although you'd never know it) and they have TONS of rounder stuff left, it's kind of weird.

And of course, this store is located RIGHT NEXT to Baby Gap and Janie and Jack, so had to visit them as well. :silly:

Bridget, the mall that I go to, to go to gymboree has Janie and Jack, Baby Gap and Pottery Barn Kids all right next to each other.. when I go there, it is BAD news everytime. I feel your pain. Here in Ireland, all I have is a REALLY crappy babygap so atleast I am safe in the summertime!

Love the outfits your bidding on Amy! :up:

Well, I lost a bid on a HnS sweater coat for Alexia. That thing won at like $45 not including shipping.

So far I'm winning the other two outfits. And I'm bidding on these as well:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4754129888&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI%3AIT&rd=1
(Since everybody else in the thread has one of these anyway, I thought it would be cute on Sarah)

I'm probably going to bid on more, but I have to look through Sarah's stuff and see what we have/need for the fall and winter.

Ooh I dont have that HNS dress but I have the Sweater one

yea, one of the gymbos I go to as gymbo right next to the princess store (janelle's term for the disney store) then janie and jack is acrossed the hall and on the other floor there is baby gap and TCP.

The other gymbo is in a mall with gymbo, janie and jack, baby gap, talbot kids, ralph lauren kids, pbk, one step ahead, the disney store, april cornell....the list just keeps going...

Love the outfits your bidding on Amy! :up:

I think we've been looking for the same thing. Although I didn't remember to bid on it before it ended.

Do these match MZ?

Opps sorry did not think they would be so big.

Teacher's Pet is up at the website.

Or is that old news? :lol:

The new layette line is called Grown with Love! :lol: It's cute.

OMG....LOVE Teacher's Pet. I'm a huge leopard/animal print lover. Lily will LOVE it too. This ones gonna hurt!!

im not too excited about either line. i like some of the animal print stuff but i dont like the rose print stuff. its ok though cause i dont need to buy Genavieve anything else for Fall

I think we've been looking for the same thing. Although I didn't remember to bid on it before it ended.
That happens to me too sometimes....like I'm not home when the bid is ending. But even still, the bids go up way too high on those things!!! It's insane!

Oh well...I keep trying to bid, as ya never know I guess. :lol:

I'm not really liking this new line...Teacher's Pet. I'm surprised because I do love leopard print (Glamour Kitty), but not fond of this one for some reason. I do like this though:

http://gymbohaven.com/teache101bb.jpg

and the sweater w/ the face of the cat is cute too. But that's it really....

and I'm not fond of that floral print either.......just like I didn't like it in Romantic Garden either. :dunno:

Looks like I won't be spending alot of money on this one. Which is a good thing considering I spent TONS on CG!!!!

I'm underwhelmed too - the one thing I want most is the leopard print sunglasses! I think it's the brown colors that take it down - just not a color that lots of people can carry off. And the flowery pattern looks like old lady wallpaper.

I'm not liking either of the new lines very much. :dunno: I'm not into leopard print, and I'm so-so on Grown with Love.

That velour hoodie was my pick too, Dawn! :lol:

I haven't really been that fond of leopard print so I don't want to pay bigger bucks at Gymbo. I bought a cord skirt and matching tights at TCP. For their prices, I can get something just to keep up with fashion :lol:

Not thrilled either. I love roses, but those are just NMS. And I've never cared for Leopard prints. Well- my wallet will be happy.:)

I could have posted this word for word. :)

TP does nothing for me. The only thing I like is from the Grown with Love layette line is the Sweater:

http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/140003493?$240x305$



BTW Why are they re using line names especially in the same year? :screwy: And enough with the cats or Dogs on every line. :bullhorn:

not liking the new line either. more $$ for naartjie and hanna! :lol:

I like the Layette line as well... and I don't think it would look bad on my almost 2 year old. (it isn't baby-ish)


See, I thought this one did look too babyish...but of course, Janelle is a year older...I haven't bought her layette since sweet watermelon. I might get her the stripes sweater and hat though and put it with less babyish bottoms....probably not though since she has so much for fall/winter already and bottoms never fit her anyway.

I don't like TP, but I don't like animal prints at all, and even if I did DH would kill me if I put Janelle in them cause he hates them even more. But, Janelle is in love with that pink sweater, so I can see us getting that, but probably not much else.

I like the little aviator line, except, umm, that's the walk in the woods romper, they just took off the hedge hog and put a helicopter on it...I really hate this recycling of old clothes thing.

I am NOT a football fan, or a sports fan at all, so I won't be getting any of varsity champ either.

Not liking teachers pet too much. The Varsity champ line is okay. Think I will be hitting old navy, gap and target this round.

BTW Why are they re using line names especially in the same year? :screwy: And enough with the cats or Dogs on every line. :bullhorn:

Amen, sister!

I keep getting in bidding wars over this coat from HnS. Luckily, there's like a million of them, but still... last one went for $42!!!!!!!!!!! And I'm having similar things happen on the Fifth Fleet version for Caleb. Good news for the sellers!

One of my loops had a recent thing complaining about people who put watches on "Buy It Now" items. I do that all the time... :blush1:

GQOTD:

Do you feel compelled to buy an outfit per line?

Or do you just skip lines that you're not crazy about and just buy tons on the lines you love?

Me too! I dont want to BIN too early if I can possibly get it cheaper in an auction!

GQOTD:

Do you feel compelled to buy an outfit per line?

Or do you just skip lines that you're not crazy about and just buy tons on the lines you love?

I skip lines that I am not crazy about and buy more of the lines I like but never over buy from the same line. There have been some occasions though (i.e. Lemony Fresh) that I haven't like a line when it came up and love it the next year and then am searching for it on ebay. :rolleyes:

GQOTD:

Do you feel compelled to buy an outfit per line? Absolutely not!

Or do you just skip lines that you're not crazy about and just buy tons on the lines you love? I have skipped quite a few lines and I have never really gone overboard in anyone line. I think the most outfits I have had from one line is 3 in the same size.

GQOTD:

Do you feel compelled to buy an outfit per line? Nope, not at all.

Or do you just skip lines that you're not crazy about and just buy tons on the lines you love?
Sometimes I buy none, or a few, and there's times I go nuts. ie Tiger Love and Spring Fun.

Oh and as a side note, I accidentally let my daughter wear her Floral Spring Fun tankini to the beach this weekend and it's totally ruined. :( :( :(I tried handwashing it several times and the sand is embedded in the fabric. :rolleyes: I'm so bummed.

I normally just buy stuff that's on sale, so it all depends on what I find. So, I definitely don't have to buy one of each line. It's much less than that.

Nope, there are quite a few lines we have nothing at all in - yet. But I'm starting to want something from each line, and trying really hard to resist... :lol:

I don't know what day it is.

Apparently I'm totally lost in the world. I thought today was the day the new Teacher's Pet line came out at Gymbo. So I dropped the boys off at soccer camp and went to the mall with the girls. I walked in and was totally confused. So I asked Shannon the manager where it was....Comes out tomorrow in our store.
Duh!?! It even says so on gymbo.com.
So I put a couple things on hold til I go back tomorrow night and check out the new stuff.
I'm just worried about the little kittens on all of it. AND the rose buds. I"m not a big flowery person.

Anyway....not a total waste of a trip,but I still have to go back tomorrow night to see what I was looking for today.

GQOTD:

Do you feel compelled to buy an outfit per line? No, there have been some lines I absolutely hated and Janelle also didn't like (tropical paradise, bubble fun, apres ski, chelsea girl) and I have nothing from them.

Or do you just skip lines that you're not crazy about and just buy tons on the lines you love? As long as neither of us like the line we just skip them. I'd skip teacher's pet altogether if Janelle didn't love it...that said, she will only get one outfit from it. I also skipped rainbow garden even though all 3 of us (dh, me, janelle) like it...it's just ok...we'll probably pick some up marked down later.

I finally won this on ebay for $20.50... after the last one went for $42. Hooray!http://gymbohaven.com/newaug71.jpg

Do you feel compelled to buy an outfit per line? No, I only buy what I like and sometimes I like very little from a specific line.

Or do you just skip lines that you're not crazy about and just buy tons on the lines you love? YES!

GQOTD:

Do you feel compelled to buy an outfit per line? Not at all.

Or do you just skip lines that you're not crazy about and just buy tons on the lines you love? I have skipped several lines... but I do tend to go crazy for those I really love... SFF was a big hit with me, SSDD was too... There are plenty that I have not liked at all, especially recently.

I agree. I've still found plenty of stuff I like but I don't understand all the recycling recently. There have been lots of comments on this thread about that.

Bridget, that's a total score! I love that coat!

Not loving TP all that much. Layette GWL (why the heck are they repeating line names? Where's the creativity???) is sorta cute. Love the striped sweater.

For the big sale Thursday, I think I may get each girl one outfit from TP and then grab some short sleeved stuff from RG for Sabrina.


GQOTD:

Do you feel compelled to buy an outfit per line?Heck no. There are plenty of lines I've skipped entirely because I didn't like them.

Or do you just skip lines that you're not crazy about and just buy tons on the lines you love? Sometimes, I don't like a line when it first comes out, but then it grows on me. If there is a line I love, I buy the "must have" pieces first, and then buy more when it goes on mega sale. :lol:

Oh and as a side note, I accidentally let my daughter wear her Floral Spring Fun tankini to the beach this weekend and it's totally ruined. :( :( :(I tried handwashing it several times and the sand is embedded in the fabric. :rolleyes: I'm so bummed.

Lette, IT CAN BE SAVED!

You need your DH's help....but you guys basically take a corner or the suit and pull....stretch that puppy and the sand will pop out! Basically, pull the suit and you'll see the sand come out, just brush it off. Keep repeating til all the sand it out. It gets embedded and this trick works! (Tried it myself.) I think I read about it on GR somewhere.

:omg: Thank YOU! Thank YOU! :bowdown:

I will definitely be trying that! Thanks again!

I won the SFF Yellow Peacoat yesterday!! :banana: For $6.50! :woo:

Now to get a SFF dress to go underneath.... :devil:

I went to the Gymboree in Oakbrook, IL yesterday, but they had NO a/c :dead: and I was with my gma and aunt/cousin and they don't get the obsession, so I wasn't there long. They had TONS of sale stuff though, but not the sizes I needed:( oh well. and I'm not liking the new boys line AT ALL!

That velour hoodie was my pick too, Dawn! :lol:
How come I'm not surprised?! :lol:

Alysia, that's awesome! I don't even remember what I paid for mine, but it wasn't that cheap, that's for sure!

Hey Jeni - I love Oakbrook mall! It's too hot though when it gets hot out - it's an outdoor mall for those that don't know. What were you there for? I live about 2 1/2 hours south of there. If you are ever there again, maybe we could meet sometime! Any excuse to shop at Oakbrook is a welcome one!

GQOTD:

Do you feel compelled to buy an outfit per line? no!

Or do you just skip lines that you're not crazy about and just buy tons on the lines you love? I tend to buy the "must have" items right away and shop for other things to go with them when they go on sale! I have tons of only a few lines...GC, DW, and BP to name a few!

Brandi~my cousin used to live in Burr Ridge and was home visiting, so my gma, my aunt and I met her there and shopped:) and had lunch at Wild fire.

GQOTD:

Do you feel compelled to buy an outfit per line? No.
Or do you just skip lines that you're not crazy about and just buy tons on the lines you love? I only buy lines I, Dh or Lily really loves. I am not a big fan of the lines with GIANT flowers or kitties or doggies on them. I don't like anything too gawdy. I rarely get much in the ditsy prints unless I really dress it down with basics. I've skipped a lot of lines in the last year. All the panda, tiger, doggie stuff we've just passed on.
I loved Wildflower fields, Dandelion Wishes, Spring Fun, Hide n Seek from last fall. Oh and Sunflower Fields.
I bought more then I expected to of Bonjour Provence because Dh just loved it.

GQOTD:

Do you feel compelled to buy an outfit per line? Nope

Or do you just skip lines that you're not crazy about and just buy tons on the lines you love? I don't think I have more than 3 outfits in any line. I just get what I like and I leave it at that.

I've been bidding on a lot of items on ebay. Here's what I've won lately:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4753593104&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1
From City Sidewalk

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4754112606&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1
Also from City Sidewalk

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4754129888&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1
The Hide n Seek mushroom dress (I am SO SO happy I won this one)

I've got about 5 or 6 more I'm sniping, including navy blue tights to match the HnS mushroom dress.

I stopped in Gymbo today to drop off a form I hadn't filled out last week and I can't say I'm too impressed with Teacher's Pet. Some of the kitty things are cute, but I just don't do leopard print. We didn't have Grown With Love out just yet. Probably will tomorrow night (I'm on call, so I might work).

I won this too! From Sunflower Fields: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4754912881&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

I am on a roll!!! :banana:

Question for those of you who buy/sell on ebay.

I have a TON of Hide n Seek 3-6 mos stuff to get rid of. It's all EUC. I've tried selling it on here with no luck. Would I be better off to sell it as one lot, single pieces, an outfit together?
I haven't sold on ebay in a while and rarely anything Gymboree.
What's the best way to go about it?


Here's what I have...

I would go with either selling as outfits or as lots (one line per lot). I prefer to buy outfits/lots myself.

What big sale Thursday? Not that I have any business buying more stuff, but just curious.

Jen - I would sell it as an outfit. I personally would rather buy it that way. BUT, I don't do much buying or selling on ebay, so I don't really know which is better.

i havent heard anything about a sale. did i miss that somewhere?

there were more markdowns on older lines last week

Its the tiered sale. Save like 25 dollars when you purchase 100

Lisa

I think it's this:

Spend $50, get $10 off
Spend $100, get $25 off
Spend $150, get $50 off

So, depending on what you spend, it can be 20%, 25% or 30% off.

jen, 3-6 months you should sell in a lot.

Question for those who know gymbo policy...


I was just looking over a receipt from a week and a half ago. They charged me twice for an item. It was the BP pinafore dress someone else had returned, so there was just ONE of them. Will they give me a hassle? It was the store manager who rang me up. That's what I'm concerned about. If my friend from high school is there when I go I know it won't be a problem, but they have a new policy not to disclose when people are working. Is this something I should call corporate about?

I would call them first and tell them and they should tell you to come on in and they can fix it. If they give you hassle, then I would call corporate

Lisa

Lisa

ITA with Lisa. Call the store, ask for the SM, and explain since she rung you up. She should fix it.

Sometimes those registers get wonky and scan an item twice.

totally off topic, but Colleen, Janelle is in love with your dancing fruit.

:cop: Admin-ish post:

Please be sure to post no more than 3 images across without hitting return.
The long strings of images are messing with some people's viewing pleasure.
Thank you for your support.

:cop:

Ooops...sorry everyone......that was me.

Thanks for letting me know, Sheila.

Don't feel bad, Jen, we got to see Sheila's special "police cop" smiley!

And where did all those dancing fruits come from anyway? I want them!

I just have a quick (petty) gripe about my local Gymbo. It used to be wonderful, perfect, they would dig through boxes to get me what I want, etc. Now they are under new manangement and when I went in yesterday and was asking about TP pieces that weren't out, they said they had 6 more boxes in the back of it and the one with one of the pieces I was asking about was already opened. Did they even offer to see if they had what I wanted? NO! And I was the only one in the store and then they ignored me for the rest of the time I was there, and I know the manager. So I'm not going to be spending my money in the store, it's all online for me.

Nicole, that stinks! I would just die if all new employees worked at my Gymbo!!!

Bretta..that's hilarious.

I've often felt that way about some of my fav gymbo items. Dh is really BAD about laundry. I need to lock the laundry room so he can't do it anymore.

That's hilarious, Bretta! :lol:

I just won this from DW for Madelynn for next summer.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4755155020&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

I hope I don't regret getting all white. :lol: I think DW is my all time fav. line now though.

Funny auction! :lol:

I was looking at that one... Iwill have quite a few size 4 things to get rid of from DW next spring. ;)
:up: I'll try to remember that. :)

Amy and I are taking the girls to the mall today. We're going to scope out the sale and TP.

Has anyone seen it in person yet? I'm not in love with it online, but that could also change.

I saw TP in person and just bought a few pieces on line since I'm not buying at my gymbo anymore. I loved the velour yoga sets and got those as well as the rose embroidered jeans and the rose sequin tee for Abby, it is tdf!!

It's amazing how a nice, friendly staff can make a difference in sales. My gymbos here have great staff, so I always feel compelled to buy more, which is bad. But there's a snooty children's store in town called Lauren Alexandra which sells high end kid's items, clothes, etc., a lot of which I buy. But the woman looks at me like I am an insect or something, so I basically stopped going in. And of course, she wears like a size zero, so I have to hate her. It's her own business, too, so you'd think she'd be the complete opposite. Screw her. Signed, the insect. :bee:

There is a boutique children's clothes store here where the women that work there treat me the same way Bridget, I think it's because I look young, so I just order all my Baby Lulu on line and don't go there. They lose out!!

I haven't seen TP yet (was planning to try to get there today or tomorrow), but have a great time shopping with Amy and the girls! (Your poor hubby - a whole house full of women! :lol: )

I just dropped by Gymbo at lunch (had to make two exchanges) and RESISTED the urge of the sale. I did really like this coat and hat from TP. It doesn't look like much online but it's that super soft fuzzy stuff I can't resist. I kept hugging it.


http://gymbohaven.com/laygro64.jpg

So, is the sale going on now, then? Hmmmm.....

Okay, I could definitely spend the rest of my store credit on TP. :rolleyes: But I'd like to have some left for MBF, so does anyone know if there is going to be a sale when that line is released?

Are they different lines? I'd at least break them up by line. :nod: Also, check completed listings on ebay and see if any of the pieces you have have gone for really high lately. If so, do those pieces seperately. Otherwise, a lot for each line would probably be a good idea. Or... if you have at least $200+ worth of stuff, you could do one HUGE lot, but if you do that, I'd pay the $20 to have the listing featured, because it would pay off for a lot that large. And I'd try to stick in at least one NWT thing and one EUC thing, so you can put both search terms in your listing...

Just got back from gymbo. I got the money back from the overcharge without a hitch. I returned a few other items which amounted to $60+. Then bought a bunch more of clearance/sale stuff which was $100. After all my returns AND the sale I spent less than $15. Which is SO not my usual.
I have to say I wasn't too thrilled with the new line though. I usually LOVE leopard print, but was just NOT impressed with it. The HUGE flowers did absolutely nothing for me either. And while I thought Lily would be all over the pink, she told me it wasn't a "pretty pink." So I won't be buying anything.
I may just have to stock up on Mod Zebra from last year on ebay.
Anyone know what the NEXT line looks like?

:nod: It's actually more of a teal, I think, but it has blue as well. There are scotty dogs and poodles on it. There are pictures earlier in this thread - around page 5 or 6, I think?

Yes they are different lines.... Pretty in Pink*, Natures Wonder*, Fairy Tale, Apple for the Teacher, Folk Song, Holiday Magic*

ALL of the dresses are EUC and 3 of 6 outfits* have matching blankets


hmm, those are kind of old lines, I always start all auctions at .99 and just see what happens. I'd probably divide it up by line and sell it that way, include that you have a blanket in the title.

I'm not crazy about a lot of the new stuff either, although I do admit I love the Grown with Love layette. Some of you have only liked the striped sweater and jeans, but I like most of it... But the other stuff :thumbsdow :thumbsup: :thumbsdow is only soso.

Maybe I have a dirty mind, but go and read the description under the TP kitty pony-o... and see if you don't laugh...

:eek: Pussy tail! OMG! I think they should change that!

:spitwater

What fraud, exactly, is that supposed to help against, I wonder? Is it selling GBs? I love that GBs will be able to be redeemed online, though! :woo:

Someone is already selling MBF on EBay!! :faint:

I saw that, Alysia! And it's sorta pathetic, but I was kinda sad it wasn't in Katie's size! :lol:

Several of my loops have messages circulating about the new Gymbucks card. Good thing those pussy tales at Gymboree finally got a clue! :lol:

One thing I saw in the store today that I didn't really like was the brown velour sweat suit. Don't know why it matters since I wouldn't get it for my baby girl anyway (planning to get the lavendar one from RG instead)... just wondering what you all think about it.
http://www.gymbohaven.com/teache101vv.jpg

I LOVE brown and pink together (Gap has some cute stuff in this), but I don't really like that. I hate cats though, so that probably has something to do with it. :lol:

This is the new line coming out in October, Hairball Honeys.

I stopped by Gymbo today and I don't like TP at all... just not a line for us. What I thought was hysterical though was that RG is marked down, but they moved this skirt that is RG:

They moved it out of RG and in with CG and kept it full price!!! :lol: Typical Gymbo! All you need to do is look at the tag and you can see it goes with another group... not to mention the purple piping on it!

:spit: :wtf: :lol2: OMG! You are hilarious, Bridget!

:lol2: Bridget!


Someone is already selling MBF on EBay!! :faint:

Oh, I KNEW I'd have to have that Velour Hoodie set! I can't WAIT! I'm glad I haven't been buying too much so I can save up for MBF! :love2:

I stopped by Gymbo today and I don't like TP at all... just not a line for us. What I thought was hysterical though was that RG is marked down, but they moved this skirt that is RG:

i bought an almost identical skirt at target for gianna for $7.99 :biggrin: so if anyone is looking for that for cheap, there ya go.

Bridget~ That brown velour yoga set is the first yoga set I've EVER bought either of the girls, I love the brown and pink and just love the brown!! So I must be the odd one out, but that's fine by me! I love it!

i bought an almost identical skirt at target for gianna for $7.99 :biggrin: so if anyone is looking for that for cheap, there ya go.

I bought the same skirt from Target for $7.99. Can't beat the price and it's cute on!

If anyone remembers this weekend, I'm looking for these cranberry basic socks from RG in an 12-24. My store didn't have any. Not sure if I'll get to check the other Gymbo in the area.

From RG size 12-24m

http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/Gymboree/140004494?$126x160$

Bridget - Actually, that brown velour suit is the only thing I liked from TP (and the sweater w/ the pic of the cat on it). I have yet to see it in person though...

Cool, that's good to know that Target sells those pleated denim skirts for $7.99. I may have to bring the one I got at Gymbo back if Target has her size! :up:

jillian i know you're near an outlet, i hear everything is $4.99 or less right now so you'd better :bolt:

Colleen - I'll look when I work on Wednesday if nobody else finds them. I think my store had them last time I was there.

Colleen- I looked today and didn't find any at hte 2 gymbos i went to.

I had to go fill out an incident report form for Liam breaking his nose at Gymbo yestarday. They were really nice about it. I bought all the AW and Hawaiian stuff I'd been eyeing for a while. I found the boys the Hawaiian shirts to wear for school pictures this year.

I had lunch with my exhusband and his wife(Amy) and their 2 kids to do the whole child exchange thing for this weekend. I found out Amy has a ton of Mod Zebra, European Holiday and Cute as a button from last year in my girl's sizes. She said if I brought Lily to her daughter Amanda's birthday party next weekend(our daughters ABSOLUTELY LOVE EACHOTHER) she would give me ALL of it.
I was so shocked!!
She owns a chain of resale shops around town so I guess it's not like she doesn't have a ton of EVERY gymbo line available to her.
Anyone looking for anything in particular? I might know where to find it.

Amy, if you could, that would be great. We swung by our other Gymbo today and they were out.

Jen: Thanks for looking.

If anyone else sees them, please grab them for me! Thanks!

Ok, so I knew that I'd run into a bad ebay auction soon. :( I won this auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4755018019&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1) and the seller says that there is a small, faint white spot on the dress that she can't even get to show up on camera. Well, it's not small and it's not faint. I got the dress in the mail today and this is what I found...

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d633b3127cce93321bd4d9e900000016108Iat3DZwxaM

Can you see the white spots on the left side of the dress? They are *so* noticeable and definitely not faint!

I also found a small (about the size of a dime) grease spot on the front of the dress that she didn't even mention. Can you see it in this picture?
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d633b3127cce93321be0d9dd00000016108Iat3DZwxaM
It's on the left side of the dress above the seam at the waist.

I'm so annoyed. I'm about to email her to see what she has to say. I really hope we can work this out.

i bought an almost identical skirt at target for gianna for $7.99 :biggrin: so if anyone is looking for that for cheap, there ya go.

I got one too. I grabbed it without looking at the price. I was pleasantly surprised when I checked out!

Colleen, I got your RG socks today! If someone else has found the for you, no prob. Otherwise, I'll PM you tomorrow; I'm really tired tonight. My store said they were almost out of them as well, but still had a pair with your name on them.

Ok, I circled the white spots...
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d633b3127cce93322d31d91700000016108Iat3DZwxaM

Shutterfly is making that picture look weird but they are really noticeable IRL.

Bridget, thank you thank you thank you!!!!

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

Please pm me the info and I'll paypal you asap!!!

Jenn, that sucks. I can easily see the white marks and saw the grease stain without you pointing it out! I hope she offers you at least a partial refund!

I could easily see the stains before you pointed them out, too. I'd send them back and ask for a refund. IMO, that's a VERY noticeable stain!

Colleen, WHERE did you get the korkers that Avery is wearing in your siggy? They're so full! I love them!

Hey Bretta, if you're looking for size 7 for spring for Ashley, check this out.

I don't know what line it's from, but it's cute and only has 10 hours left, and is currently at $0.99 with no bids...

(I'm bidding on some other cheap things from this seller - my new ebay name is myposhprincess, so please don't bid against me! :lol: )

Jenn, That sucks. I think I can even see the grease stain in the auction picture! I hope you work something out!

jillian i know you're near an outlet, i hear everything is $4.99 or less right now so you'd better :bolt:

I read that on GR tonight, I'm trying to convince DH to skip cleaning, get up at 8am, and drive to the outlet...we were supposed to have lunch with his parents (they live less than 10 minutes from the mall) tomorrow anyway, but they cancelled.

Jenn, that totally sucks.. did you contact the seller?

I won this outfit on ebay.. I LOVE IT!! Brand new with tags!
http://www.etoysnw.com/sflsyellowshirt0001.jpg
http://www.sellersourcebook.net/members/watch/userimages/514/img_1278a.jpg

I loved this collection and have so much of it.. since I dislike the new fall lines so much I guess I will buy last year fall lines! :thumbsup:

Thanks guys. I did email her and emailed her the pictures as well. We'll see what she has to say. She has 100% feedback and I'm sure she doesn't want a negative against her for misrepresenting the item so I hope she'll want to work it out. I'm just upset because I've never bought anything so grossly misrepresented before and I love the dress on Peyton so now I've got to go hunting for another one.

Dori, I love that outfit! I'm really starting to love SFF and I don't even own any yet.

I don't know why some sellers misrepresent their stuff. Maybe they just get lazy. But you'd think it would be obvious that you are going to notice this...

Dori, I love that outfit. Those jeans are so :sunny: .

Jenn, those stains sure are noticable! Let us know what the seller says.

Jen - That is so awesome that you get to take all of MZ, CAAB and EH!! Great lines too! :up: Lucky you!

Colleen, WHERE did you get the korkers that Avery is wearing in your siggy? They're so full! I love them!

Anne, I got them from an Ebay seller. They are fantastic quality...she makes them all custom and can match them to Gymbo lines. And are you ready for the price? $5 per pair! :faint: I can't say enough good things about her and them! I have 4 pair from her and I'm going to order some to match our fall stuff.

I'll pm you her ebay ID and email addy. If she's not running an auction currently, she'll set up a private one for ya.

Awesome! You can get the tiny Gymbo korkers for that price, or get hers? That's fabulous! I got your pm and will be checking her out asap!

Dori - Love the SFF outfit. I recently won two outfits from that line for Sarah, plus the striped dress. Too cute!

Dori, I LOVE SFF! We only have two outfits and the raincoat right now, but I'd like to bid on more. I need to seriously mellow on the ebay buying, though, and start selling! :lol:

I love SFF too!! We have one outfit from it plus the raincoat on the way. And I am eyeing the striped dress. But, I only have $12 in my PayPal account and when you have take shipping in account sometimes that doesnt go very far. And I can't spend anymore than what's in there!! I may have to wait until after I put some auctions up on Ebay next week.

I need an opinion from everyone. I won these CS pieces in different ebay auctions. Would these look okay together?

http://www.gymbohaven.com/newhol86.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/newhol4.jpg

I would say that is too busy, at least to me Amy...

I agree with Julie.

I so love the SFF collection. We had the striped dress in 12-18 months and I think I might try and get it again. It is all so so cute!

I would put them together Amy but I also put together the blue mushroom dress and the off white mushroom leggings from HnS.

I also put together the blue mushroom dress and the off white mushroom leggings from HnS.

Janelle loves that combo...me, not so much, she also puts together the rainbow sherbet swing dress with the rainbow sherbet capris in the same pattern.

But anyway, I wouldn't put those two city sidewalk pieces together, but I also would never put Janelle in a onesie unless she was wearing overalls, a dress, or another shirt over it, I just don't like the look of onesies.

Problem solved, I bought these:
http://secure.www.oldnavy.com/assets/product/vi/onb320072-00v.jpg
(but in black) at Old Navy, and I'll pair those with the onesie.

I loved this collection and have so much of it.. since I dislike the new fall lines so much I guess I will buy last year fall lines! :thumbsup:

I'm glad now I bought a ton of last year's fall lines in this years size! I am so not thrilled with what is coming out, but have a ton of brand new SFF, CAAB, MZ, HNS and some CS.

I like it Amy.

Just won this on ebay for $21 shipped- it was listed as garden set so I think that is why I won it for $14



http://phosphorus.webserverdns.com/~theguys/pictures/Aug9_115.jpg

Great score, Brandi! :up:

I didn't make it yeasterday but I did today. The outlet definitely didn't have much left, they are sold out of everything but some plain blue leggings in size 9 for kid girl, and they only have preemie left in any layette lines, etc. Anyway, I managed to get 4 size 2t shirts for next summer for caid (most from skate pup) and a size 3 yacht club polo for the next summer. I also got Janelle a kitty (the super hero kitt) night gown and some dw hair clip thingies. The new lines are due out September 2nd. I talked to the manager and she said they have no idea what so ever what they are going to look like, should be interesting.

Too cute, Brandi! What a deal!

Well, I went to Gymbo today and picked up some TP. I got all of this except the beret:

and I'm planning to go back for these, because they didn't have them. :complain:
http://www.gymbohaven.com/teache111.jpghttp://www.gymbohaven.com/teache127.jpg

I'm also thinking about one more outfit... :rolleyes: I really liked this in person - much more than I thought I would - so it's on my *if I have enough cash* list...
http://www.gymbohaven.com/teache101i.jpgwith either this:
http://www.gymbohaven.com/teache101o.jpgor this: http://www.gymbohaven.com/teache101bb.jpg

She wants

http://gymbohaven.com/teache101l.jpg

And I like this...but they will be way too long...

http://gymbohaven.com/teache101jj.jpg

I think these are the only other two possible options.

http://gymbohaven.com/teache159.jpghttp://gymbohaven.com/teache160.jpg
I'm also going to get these and probably the kitty clips (and heart clips by default) if they ever come in.
http://gymbohaven.com/teache112.jpg

I finally caved in and got this on ebay. I hope that Lauryn can still wear a 3T :crossfing: It was EUC- so wish me luck. It's my first non-NWT purchase. It was the only one that had a BIN so I just had to get it.

http://www.gymbohaven.com/newaug72.jpg

I really was hoping I'd skip this dress but it just kept calling me :lol: I was going through Lauryn's stuff and I found a pair of brand new tights--http://www.gymbohaven.com/newaug60.jpg (that's why I have to get the dress-- the only whacked up logic only you gymbo freaks would understand :lol:

She also has this from last year http://www.gymbohaven.com/newaug71.jpg

And she's wearing these today. I got them off the sale rack last year. I love them! I wish they had them in my size--

http://www.gymbohaven.com/newaug39.jpg

GQOTD:

When you first got started with buying Gymbo clothes- did you know the names of the lines?

Me: The first few times I bought, I didn't even know they had names for these things! I came in the store one day looking for an item and the SA told me that I had she needed the name of the line and I had no clue what she was talking about! I started buying Gymbo in mass quantities last fall. I never paid attention to the names either!

But now it's all about the names. I love the names. It's almost like they have a life of their own. DH says I talk about them like they're my friends :lol:

I really was hoping I'd skip this dress but it just kept calling me :lol:

Lyndee, are you surprised?!.....I got that dress for Alexia a couple wks ago on ebay too. :lol: It's NWT, but it is a size 2T. I bet you Lauryn will be FINE in the 3T because the size 2T fits Alexia with room to spare! I was so surprised!

GQOTD:

When you first got started with buying Gymbo clothes- did you know the names of the lines?
I first started buying for my niece (first niece...so talk about spoiled!), and this was about a year or two before Alexia was born. Had no clue about the names of the lines at that time. It wasn't too soon after that I caught on though. :lol: I also love that they have names for the lines. :up:

GQOTD:

When you first got started with buying Gymbo clothes- did you know the names of the lines?

No, I didn't know that Gymbo had line names when I first started buying. The first piece I bought for Avery was Indian Summer, and I called it the "bandana stuff." Folk Song was referred to as "the purple stuff" and Puppy Love, "the puppy stuff." I honestly don't know how I found out the lines were named. But by then, I was getting sucked in. :lol:

http://gymbohaven.com/teache112.jpg

Jillian, if you want, I can pick up the clips for you. Or heck, if you have the kitty pony-o at your store, you could get that for me and we could trade. ;)

Your store has the kitty clips? They aren't online yet. I'd love that, I can check to see if we have the pony-o...I wish Janelle had enough hair for those!

GQOTD:

When you first got started with buying Gymbo clothes- did you know the names of the lines?
Yeah, but that's because I had lurked in the Gymbo thread here before using the gc my brother gave us for Christmas. Otherwise, I doubt I would have known.

GQOTD:

When you first got started with buying Gymbo clothes- did you know the names of the lines?


Yea, I did, but that's because I started looking around the gymbo site before we even got pregnant...my mom used to have 2 kids in her daycare who ALWAYS wore gymbo and I remember it being the cutest clothes (umm...I'm not sure what was wrong with me since this was during the clown era)...so I already knew that's what my kids would end up wearing.

That said, I didn't end up buying any gymbo for a long time, Janelle got so much stuff at her shower and grew so slow that it wasn't untill she was like 12 months old and I was bored of the 3-6 month stuff she had that I bought her any clothes.

GQOTD:

But now it's all about the names. I love the names. It's almost like they have a life of their own. DH says I talk about them like they're my friends :lol:

ITA!!! For me, I didn't know about the names until I started trying to buy the Days of Yesteryear velvet coat for my daughter last winter...that's how I stumbled across this site, GH, GR, etc.

AND I STILL CAN'T FIND THE DoY COAT!! :silly:

GQOTD:

When you first got started with buying Gymbo clothes- did you know the names of the lines?

I had no idea that there were line names until I started following the Gymbo Addicts thread....and then got sucked into the addiction! So sad too, b/c I have always bought outfits from Gymboree for friends babies and baby showers.....now I wish I could remember what outfits I had bought (and did I line mix? Oh the shame!! :lol: ) My FIRST real memory of a line was when I was about 8 months pg and seeing the Jardin Francais toile dress on a rounder and thinking "if I have a girl, I HAVE to come back and get that!"

Speaking of JF, I FINALLY won the toile pants and l/s shirt on ebay, for only $16!! They had been going for $20-$26 so I was psyched. Although, the seller claimed that the outift was only worn 1-2 times and the shirt looks as though its been washed a few more times than that....but they still look in "like new" condition. :) Funny, since I won this outfit (which was my IDSO) I have been barely looking on ebay anymore! Guess I need some new things to look for and obsess over. ;)

I'm SOOOO excited, I FINALLY won a monky and friends romper (the monkey one) on EBAY for $12.50 :jump:

Here is what I got at Gymboree Saturday.

I only got tops since both kids have lots of pants and no tops to match. I got more than I planed on though http://baby.ourlittleuniverse.com/images/smilies/blush.gif

Hannah
6-12
Pretty Princess
http://gymbohaven.com/pretty47.jpg
Have pink ON pants to match and a jacket from osh kosh.

Romantic Garden
Had to order this since the stores here don't carry L/S stuff http://baby.ourlittleuniverse.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif
http://gymbohaven.com/romant73y.jpg
This we have another pair of pink jeans that will match.

http://gymbohaven.com/romant73b.jpg
And I got the sweater in 12-18
http://gymbohaven.com/romant73c.jpg
Figured this stuff will go well with her blue jeans and I might get a pair of knit pants or leggings from this line latter.

For Isaiah
I got 2T for both things I got him and its HUGE on him the onesie is definatly for next year and we will have to roll the sleaves on the L/S shirt. I wan't even going to get him any thing, but for the price, I couldn't resist!

Basic onesie from Safari Adventure, paid $3.99!
http://gymbohaven.com/safari44.jpg

L/S shirt from Grizzly Peak Paid $4.49!
http://gymbohaven.com/grizvi9.jpg
I compared the GP shirt to the sweater we have in 18-24 months and it looks the same size Weird but that works for me :)

GQOTD:

When you first got started with buying Gymbo clothes- did you know the names of the lines?

No. I didn't buy much Gymboree until the girls were born. The older lines always looked very clown like to me. Austin had a few things that he got as gifts, but I've always dressed my boys in mainly Baby Gap.
Once Lily was born, I became a gymbo freak. I knew all the lines names, when they came out, what other lines match them, etc.

GQOTD:

When you first got started with buying Gymbo clothes- did you know the names of the lines?


Yes, after Hannah was born I had recived a box of gymbo hand me downs, mostly fruit punch stuff. So I started reserching to figure out what lines they where from. So when I started buying it I had some Idea about the lines.

These were the first things I ever bought in the store

No I had NO idea, but then again that was also 6 years ago too ;)

Did they even have line names? I know in 2000 they didn't.

I am so behind in this thread...trying to play catch up.

Very cute purchases everyone. :)

I have been watching the HnS sweater dress on ebay as well only in18-24months. :)


GQOTD:

When you first got started with buying Gymbo clothes- did you know the names of the lines?

I had no clue of the names when I started buying there. Before Emma was bornn, I had bought a couple of things theer for a friend's DD. Emma also recieved a Home on the Range outfit when she was born from the same friend. The first outfits I bought Emma were from Indian Summer but I didn't know the name until a few months later.

GQOTD:

When you first got started with buying Gymbo clothes- did you know the names of the lines?

Yes, but only because I got turned onto Gymbo from the beginnings of this thread! (Not this particular thread but the Gymbo madness beginning with Part 1)

:nod: Same here.

Your store has the kitty clips? They aren't online yet. I'd love that, I can check to see if we have the pony-o...I wish Janelle had enough hair for those!

Yep, but for some reason, we don't have the pony-o, which is online. It's so weird! :silly: In fact, I asked the SA if they were getting it, and she didn't know what I was talking about, and swore that there wasn't a kitty pony-o at all. :disbelief

Oh, and a funny... I told the SA that I was trying to be good (and failing), because I knew I was going to like the next line, since I'd seen it in the Look Book. Well, the next line isn't IN the Look Book, apparantly, and the only place I've seen it is on here and on ebay. :lol: I thought I had seen one outfit from it in there, but I guess I was remembering that wrong. I told them that I must've seen it on ebay and that someone there was already selling it, and they were so cute - they started asking me all these questions about the line. :lol: I don't know why Gymbo doesn't let their employees know more about the upcoming lines. :silly:

They don't even have real look books anymore! They just send them one picture of an outfit from the line, and it is really hard to see what the colors are really like. You would think the company would realize that seeing the stuff in advance usually causes a frenzy and gets people MORE interested in buying stuff!

GQOTD:

When you first got started with buying Gymbo clothes- did you know the names of the lines?

No. I first bought a few sale pieces when I was expecting Caroline... at that time, I didn't care for a lot of their stuff... I bought most of her stuff at Baby Gap until she was 1. I didn't start really getting into it until SSDD. I didn't really care about the names of the lines until I started trying to find stuff on Ebay.

Still trying to decide on this kitty sweater thing...I'm not going to actually buy it till I can earn gymbucks unless it starts selling out (and I figure I have 3 size options 18-24, 2t, and 3). But would it be crazy to just buy both bottoms and then mix and match?

But would it be crazy to just buy both bottoms and then mix and match?
Jillian, I don't think that'll be crazy. I'm also debating about the kitty sweater too.

I'm so pissed....I lost this auction:
http://i1.ebayimg.com/04/i/04/aa/7c/94_2.JPG

Glamour Kitty leggins. Oh well :blue:

We took pictures at PP today, and a couple were of Katie in the kitty sweater and the printed skirt. I'll post 'em later in the other thread if I get a chance.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:B:BCA:US:11&Item=4756666033

I just won this for Madelynn. :blush: I was sure I was going to be outbid. :lol: I only bid one higher than the person who bid before me.

Now that several of you have posted your kids in Tiger Love I have to get some too. It's a line I didn't think much of before...

I just got this in 6-12 for $3.99 on ebay:

I'm such a dork! And it's so weird how you don't care for a line and then BAM. I've seen you all comment on that too.

Anyone still looking for this Surf Girl outfit? It's here in 18-24 months and it ends in 1 day 12 hours. No bids yet.

Thanks Hilary. I have ISO for the surf girl. I'll step off though since Kath is watching it. ;) But even still, it'll be too big for Ang for next summer....but since it runs so huge, I bet it'll fit Alexia.

I am just getting into this ebay thing for gymbo clothes, but I had a ball with it last night. I found this sunflower outfit and won it for $7.99

And I noticed that the seller lives where I live. So I looked for more of her auctions and won this mushroom dress (sorry, don't know the line names) for $8.99

So no shipping costs! :woo: We are coordinating for me to pick them up.

Plus, I am just learning about the gymbo lines so I was enjoying surfing to see what I liked and didn't like. Turns out, I love the lemony fresh line. I can't post the picture but am trying to find pictures of it elsewhere - but I won a three piece outfit w/ capri's, onsie and sweater, socks and hair decoration for $11.55!!!! With shipping it is about $16.00.

I think these are great deals, particularly b/c of the few gymbo things I have, they fit her great and wash really well. Not to mention the fun factor I was having. Off to find that site that posts all lines, old and new.

GQOTD: Have you ever bought something on ebay that you just HAD to have and paid more for it than you would in the store?

Totally guilty here :blush: I have done it on two occasions one HnS tights for Ashley and the pink buckle shirt from CSW :lol: I really needed both pieces to complete outfits so I was willing to pay that price to get it ;)


Caid's monkey and friends stuff. I didn't like the line in stores last year, and they had a ton marked down at 40% and even 60% off and I never bought it, I've paid more for it now to collect it all for this year than I would of payed last year for sure! Ohh, and when Janelle was 15 months old I paid $38 pre-shipping for the leaping frog overalls for her, if I had known my daughter was going to be obsessed with frogs I would of bought them in the store, but I had no clue!

I didn't know surf girl ran huge. I posted it here because I didn't think it would fit Ava. :blush: :lol:

GQOTD: Have you ever bought something on ebay that you just HAD to have and paid more for it than you would in the store?

Not yet! :lol: But, I wouldnt be surprised if it happens sooner or later!

GQOTD: Have you ever bought something on ebay that you just HAD to have and paid more for it than you would in the store?

Nope. So far I am able to deal with it if it costs more than I would pay in the store. Besides, DH would have my head on a platter!

GQOTD: Have you ever bought something on ebay that you just HAD to have and paid more for it than you would in the store?
Not yet, but I would if it was something I HAD to have. I'm on a hunt right now for the Hawaiian Holiday dress for Lily in a size 5, me in a size 8 or 10 and Dh in a size L.

I just brought mine back....size 8. I need a 6. If I would have known....I would of sold it to ya.

Dawn or Hilary....go for the Surf Girl suit if you want!! I don't think I'll bid since its not a "must have" at the moment and I'm not great at guessing ahead with sizes as far as my chunky DD is concerned. I'm trying to be good and realistic and not give in to my retail therapy needs at the moment. ;) Although I'll be kicking myself by next summer for not going for it, I'm sure! :lol:

Oh no... that's too bad. I've been trying to find one on ebay, but they are all either too big or too small. My biggest concern is the bust. If I can squeeze my "biggens" Dh has been calling them, into the dress. Did you happen to notice if the bust was fairly big/small/average?? I might be better off to go bigger and have my MIL tailor it down for me.

Just a note about the new Spray N' Wash stain remover with the two compartments... apparently it will bleach the fabric. I just ruined this top: http://www.gymbohaven.com/bonjou108.jpg trying to remove carrots! :bawl: It was one of my favorites on Katie! I guess I left it on too long...

I did that with Madelynn's big sis shirt. I was so stinking pissed! I wasn't sure if that was what did it or not though! Ugh!

I've bought some stuff for more than I could have bought it for on clearance I know, but for the most part I didn't let myself start buying stuff until my daughter was born. So I'm JUST GETTING WARMED UP! I've only bought a moderate amount of Gymbo for Caleb, and that's pretty much been in the store.

OK, this is bad... I won a couple auctions last week, another today and am eyeing one more right now... I need to stop!!! But... They are being won for about the same cost as running to Target to buy her fall/winter clothes and they are Gymboree!

Alright, I think I need to stop looking at Ebay for a while now... Picked up today:

Huh, that's the only stain remover I use and I've used it on that top and left it on for 2 days before with no problems, it's never bleached anything of mine...
