Well anyone who knows me, knows that my girls nearly exclusively wear Gymboree clothing. Yes, it's not very patriotic I realise, but it is well-made and I can get more 4 items that co-ordinate (especially helpful with three girls and twins at that - saves me A LOT of grief!) and I can get a couple of co-ordinating ranges a season and be done with it - no traipsing around the shops for me! I keep them well and have no issue selling them after we've grown out of them. You can also get everything from head-to-toe - hats, shoes, coats, rainboots, hairclips,pyjamas - you name it.
They also deliver world-wide which is another wonderful thing, and being an aussie, we can buy clothes for our upcoming summer. Tomorrow, circle of friends' promotion is on - which means if you check out with code GYMFAMILY you receive 30% off your order - before shipping is applied - which means your shipping will go down too (shipping is based on $$ spent, not net weight)
Some examples of summer bargains:
For a Size 2 little lady:
Price =7.99(hat)+5.49 (clips)+17.99 (dress)+11.99(shoes)=43.46 less 30% = 30.42 USD for outfit (about $37 AUD!)
For the little man in your life (Size 2)
Cost = 7.49 (hat)+11.49 (shirt)+19.49(denim shorts)+17.49 (sneakers)=55.96 less 30% = 39.17
For the bigger girl (size 6)
9.75(sunglasses)+19.99(dress)+8.00(bracelet)+27.49(glitter ballet flats)=65.23 less 30%=45.66
For the little man (8 years)
6.99(sunglasses)+11.49(tshirt)+19.49(cargo shorts)+24.75=62.72 less 30% = 43.90
Of course you need to add freight but if you order $225 USD (after discount) it's $35 USD to Australia. Go in with some friends!
Current exchange rate is $1 AUD = .8267 USD - so if you were to order $225 USD +35 delivery - 260 USD - you'd be up for $315.50 AUD. It seems like a lot of money - but at prices like above, you can get a lot for that money!

I went through a Gymboree phase but can't get over the fact that you can't see the items in person. I ended up selling 80% of my order on ebay because it didn't live up to the photo online.
The girls stuff is also a tad too girly for my liking. It's very Jack & Milly'esq (brand from Myer).
Finally, I really don't think it's that cheap, esp with the exchage rate. I get way better deals in Myer at their end of season sales.
I will say that the stuff I kept was very well made and will last through numerous kids.
Love GYMBO! I have two very active boys and have found that Gymboree offeres them a much nicer range of clothing than the daggy PPatch! The quality is excellent and they arent wearing the same skull and crossbones tshirt that every other kid is in.
I shall check it out now
THank you for the code :)
I hope they have newborns clothes!

Love your taste Liss. The little girl stuff pretty much all made its way into my basket or was at least on my short list
I suppose I like girls to look 'girly'. I'm over little girls trying to look like they're 15 or even 25! I also find it REALLY frustrating when I do go shopping, I'm trying to buy something in a similar style (to avoid arguments) in three different colours - almost impossible, and if I do find it, I find only one size of each,when I clearly need two of some things. Gymbo makes my life easy!!
I placed my order yesterday with a friend, and we split the freight - I got 3 pairs of leggings, 4 shirts, 2 pairs of sunnies and 3 pairs of knee-high socks and delivery for AUD129.19 - I think that's a bargain!
