Let's Do Some Shopping

Sunshinebins · June 2016

I'm finding being home with babies can sometimes be a little lonely. I lot of times I find myself online shopping to pass the time. I don't always order anything, but I browse and add things to my cart.

Anyone else? What are you shopping for these days?

TXmamatobe · June 2016

I'm on Gap, Amazon and Kendra Scott constantly and I've bought more than I should have. There's always something that I think we need!

Sunshinebins · June 2016

Zulily is always tempting me.

hellogoodbye2 · June 2016

I went to Torrid last week and I think I'm obsessed. I'm about to pull the trigger on a dress that I like online.

Bltbear82 · June 2016

I have to stop, but Amazon, Anthropologie, h&m, mini boden, Hanna Andersson, tea collection, Zara kids, splendid. I have a bag full of things to return to anthropologie so I really need to rein it in.

yogahh · June 2016

Amazon has been a life savor with the same day shipping for baby things we need. I swear I have something being delivered daily. Other than that shutterfly, old navy, gap, jcrew (for me!!) have been part of the shopping rotation.

littlebb22 · June 2016

Yes but I am trying to be good! One thing I really need is an infant size sun hat but I am having trouble finding one that is small enough. Most are sized 0-6 months and I'm worried they'll be too big for LO to use right now. Any recommendations?

Target. Old navy. Amazon.

I've had the hardest time finding one that will fit! She has a 0-3 month from carters and its huge on her, goes right over her eyes

So much Amazon. Etsy lately too. Gilt. Sephora. I just bought my first concealer. I never understood under eye concealer. Oh yeah, it's for mothers in their 30s!

amberraysofdawn · June 2016

Allllll the Amazon/Target/Babies 'R Us is happening. I keep realizing things we need that we don't have, and while I *could* just go up the street and buy them there...yoga pants and a tank top soaked in mystery baby fluids (Is it spit-up? Is it breastmilk? Or some combination of the two? We may never know!) is definitely not for wearing in public, and y'all know I'm not putting on real clothes unless I have to.

kbrands7 · June 2016

Amazon, Target, Old Navy/Gap. I also did a mini Zulily binge this past weekend for aden + anais stuff.

cortney626 · June 2016

I seem to pass my time with shopping as well. So horrible. I go to the store though to get out of the house. We go to Target often, buy stuff for the house, Costco, grocery shopping. Right now I'm online shopping for Dodger shirts for my hubby and DD1. We also decided to redo DD1''s bedroom so I'll be shopping for paint, new bed etc.

dsmith211 · June 2016

Amazon, Target, Shutterfly, Carters, and Babies R Us. And just now a few different sites for more cloth diapers. I should really should stop. Lol.

doozer1345 · June 2016

AMAZON! Omg I forgot how obssessed I was with Amazon when DD1 was born and it's just picked right back up with DD2. There's so much stuff to get! I've gotten a ton of PP dresses and rompers to wear for super cheap from there, diapers (Amazon Mom), wipes, Colic Calm, PP care stuff, and I'm probably going to be buying DH's FD gift from there too. I'm kinda sad I haven't been able to buy any new books. I just haven't had the time to read anything.

LadySamLady · June 2016

I've been using Amazon for baby stuff and boring nursing stuff I need like a manual pump and lecithin but nothing very fun. I desperately need to buy transition clothes but the whole situation bums me out and I don't want to spend money so I've been putting that off big time.

H and I laugh at ourselves because we go to the grocery store literally every day. Its a crucial part of Holly and my big daily outing, we walk around the neighborhood and the grocery store is the big finale. We didn't do freezer meals or anything so we just buy a few meals at a time and snacks because I'm BFing and crazy hungry all the time. We're convinced the workers think we're crazy and weird.

That1didntcount · June 2016

@doozer1345 I couldn't read at all last time. This weekend I read a book - it was so nice!

camillaandcarson · June 2016

Etsy. It needs to not exist. So many cute things.

And Amazon but less so since I mostly ordered everything I could possibly need before baby (like 5 days before baby).
Last Amazon thing I ordered was a 24 pack of deli Jalapeño chips and a pack of 3 jars of almond butter. Because that is just what this household needed right?

wamam027 · June 2016

I'm on the Amazon train as well...it's amazing to see what shows up at my doorstep two days after a late night feeding internet binge. My mom is just as bad as I am at ordering random stuff for the baby and I...just without the late night/totally sleep deprived brain excuse.

Same. I'm getting better, but in the meantime... Audiobooks!!

lionstigersbears · June 2016

@doozer1345 any winners in the PP clothing shopping on Amazon?! I've been browsing but am nervous about giant boobs fitting into things!

MsIan · June 2016

This thread actually makes me want to go shopping.

cortney626 · June 2016

@LadySamLady We go grocery shopping daily too! Chances are when I go shopping, I'll forget something even with a list. Plus the outing is much needed for LO and I.

Sunshinebins · June 2016

Add us to daily grocery shopping too. Otherwise I wouldn't have much excuse to get out haha

artteacher19 · June 2016

I told my husband that I was going to go to Carters to get more 3mo size clothes and he asked if there was anywhere else to get the bodysuits/onesies because we have already bought most of the styles we liked from there... And I had no idea. Where else can you get a pack of cute bodysuits that aren't Carters?

I made DH (years ago) make a wish list on Amazon (he is now addicted to it) to make it easier to buy him gifts. I'm also having the girls homemake him a picture with feet, hands, and paint.

lionstigersbears · June 2016

@doozer1345 thank you! That shirt is coming to live with me for sure!

After some thought hough I decided to get some new skateboard wheels and get a picture of DD on his skateboard somehow in a cute way (still working on this) Love the hand/footprint idea!

wsgjmw1 · June 2016

@cortney626 and @LadySamLady Grocery store is also our BIIIIIG outing for the day. The walk to the store is my exercise and sanity. I didn't meal plan or do freezer meals, so I usually get fresh stuff each day to cook with at night when DH comes home (except when its 102 degrees we opt for take out). Plus the stroller only can hold 2-3 bags of food, so I am limited what I can bring home.

As for shopping: Target, Amazon, Etsy, Kohls, Carters etc.

@littlebb22 I ordered a sun hat by Flap Happy for DD on Amazon and it fits her newborn head perfectly! I ordered XS.

Here's a link to a similar one by Flap Happy (the one I ordered doesn't look like it comes in XS anymore): https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00GYU2E3G/ref=twister_B00GYU0DNO?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
