Gymboree

I’m gonna be an aunty… so I checked this place out. It’s an awesome store with so much cute clothes at a reasonable price! I especially like that they have cute newborn wear in all sizes! I can’t wait for my niece! Hurry and come so I can buy more stuff here!

Super cute clothing for super great prices (get things while they are on sale) – what’s not to like?!
One of my colleagues just became a grandma, so I wanted to get her something to congratulate her and welcome the baby girl. Everything in the store was ridiculously cute so I could have easily spent an hour agonizing over exactly what to get. I quickly decided to narrow down the options based on the baby girl’s power colors (blue and yellow because she’s born in April). If you think power colors don’t matter, think again. My aunt carried a checkered bag on a trip once (checkers represent the element wood) and had the worst airport experience of her life. She’s also born in April, a month that falls into the element wood, so all the extra wood caused problems. That’s just one story – I have heard enough to make me believe in the power of colors. Think I am a nut? Good – I wouldn’t want to be friends with close-​minded people anyway!
I ended up getting a cute «I love grandma» yellow bodysuit and an adorable baby blue hoodie (for when she becomes a little toddler) for under $ 15 (yay sales!!!). The «I love grandma» bodysuit was the only one left but it had a tiny mark on the front. I asked the salesperson at the register if there were any more in the back and she gladly checked for me. There weren’t any more but she problem solved by offering me a Shout wipe. I was able to get the mark off and can’t wait till my colleague sees the cute bodysuit! A+ service!

The 2 ladies working today were so helpful. Offered to look up sizes on clearance items — made it even more fun than usual!

We left with the most adorable clothes today at BARGAIN prices … this is definately the time to shop for «back to school» clothes !!! the sales people were all very helpful and it is so nice that they have a video going to keep the little ones entertained !!

How can you resist cute clothes from Gymboree? You simply can’t! While their clothing is overpriced for something your child may wear a few times, I always end up buying it in the end… you know why? Because you can take oodles of pictures of your child in said clothes and it can be used as good blackmail for when your child is being that rebellious teen and you wonder why you gave birth to him in the first place.
Example… I was pondering about getting my baby boy a giraffe hat… we have themed everything in his life after giraffes because he’s going to be tall and lean just like a giraffe! I saw it originally at the Kahala Gymboree and debated about it for a whole two days and then finally I gave in when I saw it at the Ala Moana location. It was marked as $ 9.49 but with an additional 25% off. I thought hrmmm, that’s kinda expensive for a boy who doesn’t wear hats and he gets hot a lot too. Oh well, I got it anyway and it ended up being $ 6. I guess it was marked down even further than what the tag said. I read my receipt later and it said baby girl giraffe hat. I already have pictures of him with it on on facebook when he decides to act up later.
Believe me when I say you should just get it and suck it up! Because those pictures of your baby in whatever cute clothes Gymboree has to offer are totally worth it!
On a side note, the employees are very friendly and helpful. They always have a sale going but it’s still very pricey.

I’m so sad that my daughter can no longer fit clothes from Gymboree. They always had the cutest little outfits with matching accessories and shoes. I used to look for the sales first, since they turn over their merchandise so quickly. Their clothes are very well made and durable and I’ve passed it down to friend’s kids and right now my friend’s daughter who is the third one to wear my daughter’s clothes is still wearing dresses my daughter used to wear and it’s neat to see it still being used and the condition looks great!
