It's sometimes a pain for me to go through all the crap there but it's my go-to spot for DD's winter jacket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1/page/2#post-1933294 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:29:46 +0000 Kimberlybee 1933294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like the Gymboree 2 piece PJs. I like how it's a thicker cotton yet feels super soft. I also like their holiday dresses. I shop wherever the price is right during sales. For regular clothes, my favorite places for DD are Baby Gap and Nordstrom Rack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1/page/2#post-1933282 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:23:04 +0000 loveisstrange 1933282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Doesnt surprise me.

Ive been meaning to get into the one on Mid Rivers, but I havent yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1933247 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:08:16 +0000 blackbird 1933247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: I haven't been to that one! I'll have to add it to my list when we get into another season. The stuff in at the Olive one is always, no shocker, pretty damn good stuff. And they text you about sales! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1933245 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 17:06:45 +0000 loveisstrange 1933245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I love OUAC!

I find them kinda boring, too! Once Upon A Child FTW!</p> <p>Except when they have a $5/item sale.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1933216 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:51:59 +0000 sunny 1933216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the cutesy stuff from Gymboree but I don't typically buy the sets. I will buy the tops &amp; LO wears them with plain leggings. I always buy on sale--regular price is way too expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1933203 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:46:21 +0000 loveisstrange 1933203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@newmommykim: The quality is absolutely worse (and the sizing is way smaller), but the older lines tended to be less splashy and loud. I still like a couple things out of each collection now and she owns a lot of Gymbo, but I prefer the "vinatge" stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1933195 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:41:45 +0000 newmommykim 1933195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /><p><i>This comment has been deleted by the original poster.</i></p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1933189 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:40:54 +0000 newmommykim 1933189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: Is it just because the quality has gotten worse or has the fashion gotten worse also? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1933167 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:29:14 +0000 loveisstrange 1933167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the cutesy stuff, but I find that their quality has decreased a lot and I like less and less. I like to buy the older lines on ebay.</p> <p>I'm the total minority around here that really does not ever shop Gap. I find their stuff SO boring and overpriced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1933165 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:27:41 +0000 winniebee 1933165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy pieces from different places - Gap, ON, J&amp;J, Gymboree, H&amp;M. I don't like having a full wardrobe from just one place. Some stuff at Gymboree I like, some I don't. But that's true of every store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1933157 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:24:43 +0000 LuLu Mom 1933157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very much hit and miss on Gymboree, some of it is nice some of it is too matchy/matchy and cutsy for me. I like Carter's and Gap. Old navy is another one I'm a big fan of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1933135 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:15:07 +0000 Raindrop 1933135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mauxie: Wow you are a shopping master!! *bows down to you* Way to combine things! I do go to gymboree for good sales but I can only find like a few items that where super cute and reasonably priced even on sale! Haha. Their quality is very good though. :) So the few items I do get there I know will be just fine for the next kid and maybe kids after... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1933132 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:14:45 +0000 coopsmama 1933132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a big Gymboree fan, honestly. It's just way too cutesy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1933117 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:10:17 +0000 lawbee11 1933117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a fan of Gymboree. I did get LO's Halloween costume there, though! And the pjs are fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1933059 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 15:48:59 +0000 cmomma17 1933059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a Carter's fan, and think Gymboree is a little pricey. However, my mom loves Gymboree and just bought LO the cutest shirts with Eric Carle art on them (a rhino and a tiger). They are really soft and nice quality, and LO likes pointing to the animals on his chest :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1933056 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 15:47:33 +0000 Smurfette 1933056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gymboree is a little too cutesy for me. I like some of their stuff. But like @mrs. tictactoe: said, I hate that it is all in sets. Then she can't wear the pants with something else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1933036 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 15:41:08 +0000 mediagirl 1933036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Gap for my toddler. Their clothes fit our style. </p> <p>That being said, sometimes I find something adorable at Gymboree. It's not often that I find adorable things there, though. I find their clothes are sometimes too boxy for my lo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1933033 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 15:38:13 +0000 mauxie 1933033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: I'm with you there on buying what's cute but reasonably priced! My coworker taught me to only buy gymboree when it's already on sale (not a weekend sale but like a big seasonal or $14 and under sale), includes gymbuck earning, and with a 20% coupon. Ends up being like $5 a piece. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1933015 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 15:31:36 +0000 blackbird 1933015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Gymboree! Some of their stuff is really adorable. This is my current favorite sweater for E. I always buy it used at a consignment store, though. And i usually buy single items like a pair of pants, a sweater, or a dress. But yeah, it's expensive full price, so I ain't buying that. Most of the brands above are too expensive for me to buy for everyday outfits, too.</p> <p>Carters is always available in the consignment store I go to, and I live by a Children's Place Outlet that has great prices...</p> <p>[attach=618/14/nemx0p.300x191.-T2eC16Z--zoE9s5ngM9gBRt1JdMhy---60_35.JPG] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1933007 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 15:28:19 +0000 Raindrop 1933007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy what ever is cute and reasonably priced and good quality. Gymboree has always been a bit high in price so that's the main reason I don't prefer them. Carter and outlet stores are definitely your best bang for you buck. Children's place is great when they have their crazy everything 50-60% off sales, I love their adjustable waist pants. I wish you can vote for more than one. I picked Carters over all though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1932992 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 15:19:45 +0000 LemonLong 1932992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted "other", I do most of my shopping at Osh kosh and sometimes Target. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1932983 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 15:15:24 +0000 lilyann 1932983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted "other"...I much prefer Zara for fashion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1932978 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 15:14:02 +0000 mamimami 1932978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like gymboree! But it's a bit expensive. I like Gap, but also, the deals aren't as good as, say, a sale at The Children's Place. We have a ton of stuff from there based solely on the fact that they have the best sales! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gymboree-1#post-1932975 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 15:11:57 +0000 avivoca 1932975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like some items from Gymboree, but usually I won't spend that much on an outfit she's going to grow out of quickly. </p>
