New Layette and Boys Lines @ Gymboree Review :(

[lesliepear]

Took a look at the new lines.

Layette for boys is kind of cute, but Alan will be out of 12-18 months by the end of the winter and doesn't need more in that size (and I can't buy ahead for next winter in layette.) I prefer cats to dogs but cats are hard to find for boys anyway.

Baby boys is boring. Stripes again! The only cute things are the double sleeve
tops. The bear motif reminds me of Cross Country (vintage). I'd get the tech
pants but in a size for the spring (18-24) months as they are kind of neutral
and Alan's got lots of stuff for winter. Maybe I'll get the tops for next year
since ski's and bears don't go in the early spring :(

If this is the *new* designers for boys, nice try but it STILL looks like
corporate casual or grownup leisurewear.

You SO need to shop for a gymbo girl. Someday, perhaps? I can see how the boys lines would be a little disappointing as you say, corporate casual look (with a few overalls or cricket shirts mixed in). I find my nephew cute stuff once in awhile at gymbo but it's definitely not distinctive from any other store I'd buy for him from.

I hope so too

I hope to have a baby girl to shop for someday...mine or someonelses.

I think you will :)

Yep. I give it a big fat "eh"

I *may* get Alex the polar bear shirt or the light blue ski shirt, but I see nothing for Ben.

We like the same shirts, imagine if Alan and Alex wore them the same day and time :)
