To celebrate the new Peter Rabbit- inspired clothing line, BabyGap hosted reading parties at 30 US locations fit for a VIT (Very Important Toddler.) The girls and I went to watch my friend Heather, who writes the blog Diapered Daze and Knights (www.diaperedknights.com) read a story. Starting outside, my toddler found lots of rabbity excitement. We had no idea that the Gap at King of Prussia Mall was throwing such a swanky event!
They cleared a special section on the floor so that the kids had room to color, meet Peter Rabbit, hear a story, and then sample some sweet and savory goodies. First of all, I have to show you the food table. How cute are those little carrot pots? They had a small portion of hummus or ranch dressing that all the kiddos loved. They also served mini PB&J’s cut into bunnies and a ton of garden-themed cupcakes.
All the clothes are swoon-worthy. If I didn’t have a budget, I could easily purchase two of each item for my little girls! I loved the boy’s polo with rabbit-print, too. Heather and I both agreed that we love Gap’s clothes because they are generally made from cotton so they’re soft on kid’s skin. Plus, we can always find coupons for a deal. Recently, I’ve made an effort to shop at the end of the season for next year to catch the best deals. When it comes to our wardrobe, I like to keep it small. By having less items total, we can purchase higher quality goods on the same budget. Lucky for us, we get to use everything twice!
Thanks again for coming! We also have the luxury of using things twice – and agree – a smaller wardrobe of high quality items lasts longer! We shop end of season sales, too, and I have clothes for the next 2 sizes stocked away from finding them on deep discount! I do splurge sometimes – like each boy has a GAP bomber jacket and matching aviator hat – because I could not resist…though those jackets have already lasted us 3 seasons (and will last us a few more), so…I guess I got my money’s worth!
LOVE me some BabyGap!! Although my first baby is almost out of 5T already. I buy 75% of my kids clothes at the Gap. They have so many sales all year round that almost every week you can get a 30% off code. I also have their Silver credit card (I shop there too much) and get free shipping on everything and 10% off on Tuesdays! Wish I went to this, such a cute event!!!
You are both right about the coupons and loyalty cards- it really pays off! On the way home I remembered that when I was a kid Bloomingdales had a Fashion Show for kids at the mall. It was so fun! I wonder if Gap would do something like that?
