Gymboree Fail.

They always manage to make me part with my money.

I bought gymbucks from someone (mistake #1).  Then I went to shop (mistake #2) and fell in love with the Porcelain Doll collection.  Naturally I love it so much that I am convinced it will sell out before it goes on sale.  Because surely everyone else will love it as much as I do.

Tell me to step away.  Tell me it is ugly and I shouldn't dress my baby in that crap. 

Because I really want to buy it all.  At full price of course, I already spent my gymbucks on stuff for DS.  Clearly I need more gymbucks.  And the cycle continues.

  • I think I "need" the bubble, the floral dot dress, the crib shoes and the 2-piece bloomer set.  Total is in the neighborhood of my-husband-will-kill-me dollars.
  • I'll try to talk you down from the ledge. Most of it looks as if it's summery--short sleeves, etc. You live in Minnesota. Pretty soon she will need long sleeves and pants. Figure out the cost per wear. Probably not good.

    Did that help at all?

  • That line alone gave me baby fever, it is beautiful and i would have done some major damage. Heck I did do some major damage with the poppy line I am a succker for black and red. Thank God the boy stuff was horrible and the horse line could not be worse or I would have been in more trouble.
  • Do y ou ever get any mailers from them? I got one yesterday with great coupons. 20% any purchase and one $20 off $75, ask around maybe someone has one they aren't planning on using!

    the horse line/cowboy crap saved me loads of money this time!

    I honestly don't get the horse line at all! We live in the city in Texas that is the home of cowboys and rodeos and i would never put my kids in that crap!

  • You guys crack me up. 

     Ok I am holding off for now.  I will reevaluate during the back to school sale though.

  • I love the Porcelain doll line. I'm just too cheap to buy anything full price at Gymboree. I actually didn't even look at the new lines when I spent my Gymbucks online yesterday. I got some things from the Glamour Safari line and the Citrus Cooler line. Even at 50% off (with Gymbucks) I was debating on whether the price was still too high.
