Gap is to Old Navy as Gymboree is to …

by Whitney

If you already know the answer to this analogy, then pardon my ignorance, but for the rest of you, the answer is: Crazy 8. I just learned this.

Yes, Gymboree has launched a cheaper, hipper brand and my husband just told me about it as he unpacked some clothing for our kids he had bought online from Crazy 8. Hello? How does he know about a new kids brand before I do? Oh, because he is the master of e-commerce?

Anyhow, shipping is currently free and they have some 2-for deals like 2 tshirts for $12.

Note to Heather whose daycare does not allow onesies on babies: Many long-sleeved t shirts for Milo like the one pictured here which is $4.99.

And, for the fancy pants moms among you, did you know that Janie and Jack is the Banana Republic of the Gymboree family? Well, I didn’t until just now. Call me slow.

Stumble it!

    Hahaha, you’re slow. Just kidding. I found that out when I asked when exchanging a J&J gift who they were owned by. Dontcha just love these conglomerations?

    I had NO clue about the Crazy 8 thing, tho! Gonna have to go check it out!

    Thanks, Whitney! I’d never heard of Crazy 8 before today but it looks great! (And I didn’t know about Janie & Jack being part of Gymboree, though at least I’d heard of them.)

    Oh, I got all excited about Crazy 8, but then realised that they don’t do international shipping - yet!
