The Gymboree Back to School sale has started!

July 30, 2009 by


Each year when the Gymboree Back to School sale rolls around, I always have mixed emotions. I think this is one of my FAVORITE sales of the year, so I always look forward to it, but it also is a reminder that the end of summer is approaching that that the time is coming for me to go back to work and that is always hard because I hate having to leave my kids. This year is especially bittersweet for me because my oldest starts kindergarten – where does the time go?

Having said all of that, this sale is awesome. If you haven’t done the Back to School sale before, all of the “big kid” clothing is priced at $10, $15, or $20.

Here’s the breakdown:

*$10 = girls & boys tees, leggings, and shorts

*$15 = girls skorts, girls & boys pants, and woven pants

*$20 = girls dresses, girls & boys sweaters, outerwear, jeans & shoes

Other hot items:

*Backpacks are $20

*Lunch boxes are $10

*Solid socks and knee socks are 4/$10

*Printed knee socks are 5/$15

You CAN use 20% off coupons with this sale! There are several available right now:
*Working Mother Magazine – May/June issue
*Family Fun Magazine – June/July issue
*Parents Magazine – August issue
*Good Housekeeping – August issue
*Oprah Magazine – August issue
*Redbook Magazine – August issue
*Better Homes & Gardens – $august issue
*Home mailer

You also earn Gymbucks ($25 for every $50 you spend!). Gymbucks earning period is 7/29-9/27. The redemption period is 10/1-10/11.

If you are shopping online, you get free shipping if you spend $100 or more.
