Any Gymboree Moms Out There??

[psmomma]

I find myself counting down to Gymbuck Earning & Redemptions Periods, calculating what will my next purchase be? I swear I should just quit my day job and get a job at Gymboree to support my habit. Am I the only one or are there more moms like me?

Nope, you're not alone! I only have 2 Gymbucks this go around, but that's ok. I'm DYING to see the new tooty frooty line that's due up this Sunday. I also heard a rumor that the Splash line is being reincarnated at the outlets in a week . I started my freaky Gymbo habit after this line & I always DROOL over it on ebay. My husband is going to be near one of the outlets in a week or so and I told him I am INSISTING he go there and shop for our daughter! LOL!

Count me in too and she's not even here yet.

I have four Gymbucks this time, this is my first redemption period. I'm excited, it's marked on the calendar.

I am glad I am not the only one!!! Safety in Numbers LOL! I can't wait for the new lines. Do you all have any favorite web sites you visit daily for your gymboree itch? I love Gymbohaven.com, am I missing any other sites?

I'm disnychck on the Gymbohaven boards; I lurk at Gymborebel sometimes,

I love Gymboree.. but wish I had a little girl! It's too expensive for me to justify buying for my buys - who stain, rip and/or ruin every clothing item they own, it seems!

This website has pics of the new Tootie Fruity line. They are really cute. They have pics of the clothes in each line.

What are / were your favorite lines?

I LOVED Chelsea Girl, My Best Friend, Prima Ballerina, Bonjour Provence. I unfortunately like the lines more than I dislike them!

Nope you are not alone. My kids pretty much ONLY wear Gymboree. Just check out all our trip pictures, they only wear Gymboree in Disney... lol.

I haven't bought much lately because the stuff was too warm for here in South Florida. But I LOVEEEEEE the new Palm Springs line. Haven't earned Gymbucks, boo hoo :-( Would have loved to get a few things from the new line.

Loved your pictures.

Question, where do you go for matching bows that sometimes the store does not have or carry? I see so many cute bows on little girls with their gymboree outfits and wonder where their moms go??? I have bought some online M2M sales but always see so many different bows with their outfits.

As soon as I saw this thread I knew that you'd be here Robin!!

Okay, so I was thinking the same thing--Where's Alice? Knew you'd be here--have to say, that yes, I too am a Gymbo addict--unfortunately make bank account doesn't always agree--Is there a 12 step program for this!

Hi Zalansky and Gems!

 

[Alice28]

I know Gems- I am a nut! But at least I gave you a taste of it, right?

I didn't really buy Gymbo until I found out I was having a girl in late 2004. It just didn't grab me too much with my boys- I will say I do buy them shirts and some shorts/pants there and they hold up very well, even with all the rough playing & getting dirty, etc. If you can catch a good sale, I think it's a good buy because they are sturdy. AND the resale value on Gymboree "loops" or on ebay is great. Sometimes I have gotten exactly what I paid for the clothes on ebay, even though they're used! And sometimes I only get 30-40%, but hey- that's still great, since someone would only pay .50 for it at a garage sale.

I did get a sneak peek at Tootie Fruity on gymbohaven- I hope the baby girl swimsuit is cute!

My favorite lines since I have been buying are: Bonjour Provence, Grown With Love for layette girls, Aloha Wahine, Petting Zoo (layette). Past lines which I have either bought used on ebay or drooled at on ebay are Whale Watching and Splash.

I have to add- I'm getting a complex here! I swear I don't spend more than $50 a month on it- I think I've only spent $90 since Christmas actually! My mom got my second gymbuck for me. It was last summer where I think I seriously needed a 12 step program- I was crazy out of control in May/June/July. Not this year- DH is back at his regular job and we have to tighted the spending big time without that $700 a month in hazard duty pay! That's ok- DH is more important to me than Gymboree. Aren't I sweet? I definitely have my priorities straight....

I will say I had a mini panic last night when we were doing out next month's budget cause I wasn't sure we would have enough to justify me spending my Gymbucks & Dh grabbing Molly a few things at the outlet- and then I Thought, "I am a weirdo!!!! Worrying about where Gymboree fits into the budget! Get a grip!"
