So I asked him his size. And when I ordered them, I swapped the numbers! Later I went out with my mother to get him new jeans and when I grabbed what I thought was his size, my mother quickly informed me that they most definitely were not going to fit him. OOPS! So I went home and ordered in the right size figuring I'd just return the first three.</p> <p>Best part? We get 6 pairs of pants in the mail and the size he told me is an inch too long. So now I have 6 pairs of dress pants that don't fit him and his real size is out of stock. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-fail-aka-impulse-buy-or-diy-gone-bad#post-2668070 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 12:40:23 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2668070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Inspired by this <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/living/page/4/" rel="nofollow">http://www.stylemepretty.com/living/page/4/</a> of a pretty family drinking cocoa from Santa mugs I bought four Grinch mugs. DH put the Grinch on our Christmas movie watch list, but still refused to play along drink cocoa. After opening my cabinet doors to the menacing Grinch grin for the past three days I am returning them. </p> [attach=3033/16/oihvrb.530x406.0733966088361_p0_v1_s550x406.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-fail-aka-impulse-buy-or-diy-gone-bad#post-2667968 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 11:00:01 +0000 808love 2667968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH bought a new mattress the other week and decided to randomly by a new refrigerator that was on super sale as we walked out. 15 hours later, DH returned it. It had four stars on Amazon but 1 1/2 stars on Consumer Reports. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-fail-aka-impulse-buy-or-diy-gone-bad#post-2667918 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 10:06:47 +0000 DesertDreams88 2667918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Toddler Tula. LO still doesn't like to be worn. :( :( And Cotton Babies does not have an easy / cost-effective returns process. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-fail-aka-impulse-buy-or-diy-gone-bad#post-2667884 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 09:31:05 +0000 LuLu Mom 2667884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>well it ended up working out in the end. But I impulse bought a 15 foot trampoline from Target because the price was so cheap (pretty sure it was an error as the red cover one was $150 cheaper than the blue.) Well they only shipped 1/2 of it...for over a month I was trying to get the other half of the trampoline and on the phone with them constantly. In the end after 5 phone calls, they send me a $50 gift card and an apology for "their error" and shipped the second box. Thankfully I bought it with plenty of time before Christmas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-fail-aka-impulse-buy-or-diy-gone-bad#post-2667833 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 06:32:02 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2667833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Share your oops...don't forget to post pics! </p>
