We are going to Sesame Street Live so I wanted to get her a character shirt but didn't want to pay more than $10. All the Sesame Street shirts at Old Navy were not cute but they were $3 so LO will be wearing an ugly Elmo shirt</p> <p>She has Hello Kitty and My Little Pony underwear bc it was cheap at Costco...she loves them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1625416 Fri, 09 May 2014 17:50:33 +0000 StbHisMrs 1625416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She has some Minnie underwear that she loves ;)</p> <p>I got through those years with 1 pair of Bob The Builder pj's and a t-shirt for my son. I have a feeling my Minnie loving daughter might get a tasteful t-shirt (like the first one posted on the first page) and a pair of Minnie pj's too. Otherwise I don't buy licensed clothing, and I totally agree that some are cute and some are TACKY!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1625398 Fri, 09 May 2014 17:35:40 +0000 Dandelion 1625398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind them. D gets excited about his clothes and he's happy to be sporting the "cool" characters. I let him pick out quite a lot of onesies for M too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1625369 Fri, 09 May 2014 17:13:27 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1625369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MUI831: I think to most people it's aesthetic - they just don't like the look... I guess that was mostly it for me? While I can still pick out his clothes I suppose I liked a certain look. But now that he can get excited about them - I want to choose things he likes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1625348 Fri, 09 May 2014 17:03:21 +0000 BoogieBea 1625348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like you, I thought I wouldn't buy them but I have bought some here and there. I look for ones with a tasteful design. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1625295 Fri, 09 May 2014 16:37:48 +0000 Mommy Finger 1625295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While I can understand wanting to avoid any battles over clothes (i.e. wanting to wear a character shirt over and over again) I guess I don't see what why else there would be an issue. Maybe I'm missing something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1625293 Fri, 09 May 2014 16:35:37 +0000 kjpugs 1625293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I just choked on my Oreo hahahaha. I wish!! He's a chef. They call all non-corporate employees cast members :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1625256 Fri, 09 May 2014 16:18:58 +0000 Honeygold89 1625256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no problem with them at all I've always loved them even when I was younger so I wouldn't have a problem buying LO any matter of fact I just brought a few for myself a couple of weeks ago. I even buy both of my nieces character clothing all the time </p> <p>Here's my lion king shirt that I love it was my fav growing up and I even used it as my baby shower and LO nursery theme</p> <p>[attach=3750/14/n5bsjo.449x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1625215 Fri, 09 May 2014 16:07:36 +0000 Cherrybee 1625215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: Your hubby is a Disney cast member? Was he Prince Eric? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1625212 Fri, 09 May 2014 16:05:20 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1625212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like them but it hasn't been much of an issue yet. At almost 3 he only knows a few characters so until the day he asks for it specifically it is not on my shopping list. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1625176 Fri, 09 May 2014 15:52:32 +0000 T-Mom 1625176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never been anti-character anything. My only criteria is that it should be cute! There is a big difference between an ugly my little pony shirt and a cute one. There are actually very few battles in my house around character clothes so it's never been an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1625046 Fri, 09 May 2014 14:53:41 +0000 Ginabean3 1625046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm anti character except for Hello Kitty and Minnie Mouse...but even then I don't like any wording. LO isn't old enough to ask for any character tees though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1625030 Fri, 09 May 2014 14:48:02 +0000 MrsKoala 1625030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: Totally off topic but I have a Darth Vader and a Stormtrooper spatula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1625029 Fri, 09 May 2014 14:48:00 +0000 sunny 1625029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a big fan of Hello Kitty and have been known to wear Hello Kitty around the house! Haha. So yes I totally buy Hello Kitty for my LO and she loves it! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1624954 Fri, 09 May 2014 14:22:59 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1624954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't buy them only because I don't want there to be clothes battles where they want to wear their character clothes. I don't mind them though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1624941 Fri, 09 May 2014 14:20:28 +0000 blackbird 1624941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty indifferent because she's not into anything right now. When she shows an interest in something (have no idea when that'll happen), I have no problem indulging it so she feels like she has some choice in what she wears. </p> <p>If it's not Elmo, it's going to be mermaids or bunnies or something. I just don't care </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1624907 Fri, 09 May 2014 14:11:57 +0000 Silva 1624907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not for us. My kid doesn't know any characters yet, and the daycare I'm pretty sure we are going with doesn't allow them, so hopefully I can put it off for awhile longer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1624858 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:58:01 +0000 jhd 1624858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: that Elmo shirt is seriously cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1624817 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:48:55 +0000 fancyfunction 1624817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a fan but some family members have bought her stuff (one being MIL after I specifically told her I didn't like characters) - and she hasn't worn them. ;) But if she ever wants to pick something out on her own, and I have a feeling Elmo will be a favorite, then I will let her get a few items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1624815 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:48:38 +0000 Sammyfab 1624815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a fan. </p> <p>I will buy licensed underwear though if it means he will get excited about wearing them! I'd also consider pajamas since changing into pajamas can be a struggle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees/page/2#post-1624801 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:45:57 +0000 kjpugs 1624801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: @Mrsjets: @Mrs. Pen: YES! So glad to know I'm not alone.</p> <p>I think it's almost like, if I was going to a big event themed such that that character was appropriate, would <b>I</b> wear that shirt?! The simpler ones, yes. Many of them... NOPE.</p> <p>Disney kills me though because I get DH's cast member discount. I like to buy stuff for family too... never thought they may not like it, so I'll have to ask more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees#post-1624787 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:43:08 +0000 Bao 1624787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes there's something about A's face lighting up when she sees a Hello Kitty or similar t-shirt. I very much dislike Dora though so I'm glad she doesn't know who that is yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees#post-1624781 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:41:06 +0000 lamariniere 1624781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still don't buy any. It probably helps that we don't have a TV, so my son isn't exposed to it in the first place. The only characters he really knows are Thomas and friends, and that's through books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees#post-1624753 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:34:26 +0000 Mrsjets 1624753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: yes, I like that batman one too :) I like this planes one as well.</p> <p>[attach=2201/14/n5bkxf.563x600.image.jpg]</p> <p>Eta - I just checked out the girl section and there are a lot less I like! They're all so busy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees#post-1624745 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:32:01 +0000 dagret 1624745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, I like the minimal business and no wording. L has a batman and superman tee with just the logo. Seriously considered pulling the trigger on that elmo shirt - it is too cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees#post-1624740 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:30:09 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1624740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsjets: Yes! I like those too.

I did get her a hello kitty hat because she needed one and it was on sale and I grabbed it as we hurried out of target... and she loooooves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees#post-1624694 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:19:07 +0000 Andrea 1624694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do not buy them myself, but we get a lot of Hello Kitty dresses as gifts and I don't mind. It's just clothes, not super picky. And people always say she looks cute in HK. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-opinion-change-re-characterlicensed-tees#post-1624690 Fri, 09 May 2014 13:18:23 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1624690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: Yes! I totally agree. I love the elmo shirt I posted, but I don't like this one below. And I agree about the minnie shirts, I do like that first one! Not a fan of wording as much either.</p> <p>[attach=1597/14/n5bk6n.450x450.shopping.jpeg] </p>
