Default Whoa - Grandma just came with a Mini Boden stash!

Is it really really bad that I'm more excited about reselling them than about the girls wearing them??

They are really cute and soft and very well-made...but do people send their kids to daycare in these clothes?? Grandma bought them several pairs of velour/sweat pants and a few long-sleeve t-shirts.

That's awesome! I love Mini Boden, but we don't wear it for daycare here...only on weekends when I can enjoy it on DD too!

Duh, good idea. OK, for the next several weekends, they will be decked out only in Mini Boden

I DON'T KNOW!!! I have NO IDEA how Grandma found out about Hanna Andersson and Mini Boden. She orders kids stuff online, so I know she just started getting catalogs left and right. And I think she, on her own, decided that the HA and Mini Boden stuff looked good after sorting through her catalogs. SO WEIRD!!! The Mini Boden stuff she brought was all ordered online. I guess I need her to lurk here too for coupons.

We wear MiniBoden and HA and almost everything in DD's closet to daycare...I just don't buy two sets of clothes. Over the years, she's come home with paint and glue and stuff on her clothes, but her school uses washable paint and I can honestly only remember 1 outfit that I couldn't get a stain out of. I also think that stains/marks come out of better fabrics, if you want to call it that, than cheaper ones, so it works for us.

ETA: I don't know how old your kids are, but the embellished tee and velour bootleg combo was one of DD's favorite go-to outfits during the colder weather last year, and are comfy but also look put-together.

Nice grandma! Yes, I send my DD to daycare in pretty much anything in her wardrobe other than her one holiday dress and dress-up clothes. She wears Boden and Hanna to daycare.

They're 2, and we did get a few of the velour bootleg pants. *I* wanted to wear them, they looked so comfy. And the girls were so happy with the pockets! The tees we got look to be basic ribbed heathered long-sleeve t-shirts. I love them because they are LONG and they have the banded wrists. DD2 is much taller than DD1 but we always buy them the same sizes so the banded wrists are nice for staying put without having to be folded back to keep DD1's hands uncovered. We've had trouble with the length of tops before (not being long enough) but these are so nice because they are so long. Great coverage for an overstuffed belly

I will not shop there...I will not shop there...I will not shop there...
