And I still have a 40% off my first order coupon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-shop-for-gender-reveal#post-2259832 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 11:36:03 +0000 KatieBklyn 2259832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ThredUp.com has lots of cheap and cute baby shoes! Not sure if they have Docs, but worth a look. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-shop-for-gender-reveal#post-2259830 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 11:35:12 +0000 travellingbee 2259830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>But you're announcing during the summer. So I think it's fine to do sandals... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-shop-for-gender-reveal#post-2259829 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 11:34:47 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 2259829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You don't necessarily have to have newborn sized shoes. You could get newborn or year-old shoes and it would still make the point. That way you would have a higher likelihood of using them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-shop-for-gender-reveal#post-2259825 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 11:31:56 +0000 MaryM 2259825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found a crochet pair on etsy. Maybe I'll go with that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-shop-for-gender-reveal#post-2259820 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 11:28:42 +0000 PinkElephant 2259820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: how about asking on a local moms group? You might even be able to borrow a pair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-shop-for-gender-reveal#post-2259808 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 11:16:31 +0000 MaryM 2259808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah. I don't know if I want to risk it. Some items say 5-40 days shipping, and they're all coming from China...</p> <p>I'd rather not photo shop. I feel like baby shoes are a totally different proportion to adult shoes so that could be tricky to make it look right? </p> <p>Maybe I'll back into sandals. I found a pair on ebay but was outbid, and don't want to pay more for off brand used sandals (they went up to to close to $10 for old navy sandals. that's crazy!)</p> <p>I just figured on the off chance we'd actually use the shoes, it wouldn't make sense to have infant sandals for a baby born in January. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-shop-for-gender-reveal#post-2259799 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 11:11:39 +0000 travellingbee 2259799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: I've never used it either.

So I thought it might be cute to do the shoe announcements with matching shoes. </p> <p>Since our baby is due in Jan., I think it makes more sense to do Docs. I would want gender neutral shoes (in case we might actually want to use them), and then use gender identifying chalk or balloons or both. </p> <p>But I don't really want to spend $50 on shoes our kid might wear once or twice. </p> <p>Any ideas on where I can look for Docs (or even off brands that look like docs) for $30 or less? I tried Ebay, but didn't see much... </p>
