Updated on Friday, December 6, 2024: Known for its playful and stylish children’s clothing, Gymboree never disappoints when it comes to offering significant post-holiday clearance deals. If you’re planning to shop their 2024 event, here’s what you can expect, from sale dates and discount levels to what to buy and tips for making the most of this annual event.
When Does the Sale Start?
Gymboree’s After Christmas Sale is expected to kick off on December 25, 2024 (it’ll likely be called their “Orange Sale”).
The event typically run through early January 2025, giving you a little over a week to take advantage of the deals. However, as is often the case with big clearance events like this, many popular items and sizes are likely to sell out quickly, so it’s best to shop early for the widest selection.
What Discounts Can You Expect?
Here’s what you’re likely to see this year:
- 60% Off All Clearance Items
The centerpiece of the sale is the deep discount on clearance inventory, where you’ll get 60% off all clearance items. This is a fantastic opportunity to stock up on everything from everyday basics to seasonal outfits for kids, all at a fraction of their original prices. - Double Place Bucks
One unique perk during the After Christmas Sale is the opportunity to earn Double Place Bucks. Normally, Gymboree’s loyalty program allows you to earn $10 in Place Bucks for every $20 spent. During this sale, however, you’ll likely receive $20 for every $20 spent (with some exclusions). This means your purchases during the sale will not only save you money now but also set you up for future discounts during the redemption period. - Free Shipping on All Orders
One of the standout aspects of Gymboree’s After Christmas Sale is the free shipping on all orders, regardless of the purchase total. Unlike many other retailers that require a minimum spend to qualify for free shipping, Gymboree makes it easy and affordable to shop from the comfort of your home.
How Does It Compare to Other Gymboree Sales?
Gymboree’s After Christmas Sale is comparable to its Black Friday and Cyber Monday events in terms of savings. The 60% off clearance items and free shipping perks are nearly identical to what we’ve seen in their other major sales throughout the year.
What to Buy During the Sale
Gymboree’s After Christmas Sale is the perfect time to stock up on high-quality children’s clothing and accessories. Here’s a breakdown of what to prioritize:
1. Everyday Essentials
Whether you’re looking for basics like leggings, T-shirts, and socks or school-ready outfits, Gymboree’s clearance section is a goldmine for everyday essentials. These are items that kids need year-round, making them a practical investment during the sale.
2. Seasonal Clothing
With winter still in full swing, the sale is a great opportunity to grab discounted sweaters, jackets, and cold-weather accessories like hats and gloves. At the same time, Gymboree often includes end-of-season summer items in the clearance section, so you can plan ahead and stock up on swimsuits, shorts, and lightweight dresses for next year.
3. Holiday-Themed Apparel
If you love dressing your kids in festive holiday outfits, this is your chance to grab those adorable pieces at a steep discount. Think Christmas pajamas, sweaters, and party dresses—all perfect for next year’s celebrations.
4. Special Occasion Outfits
Gymboree is known for its charming special occasion outfits, including dressy clothes for weddings, family gatherings, and school events. These items can be pricey at full price, so scoring them at 60% off is a major win.
5. Accessories
Don’t overlook Gymboree’s wide selection of accessories, from hair bows and headbands to backpacks and lunchboxes. These small items are often included in clearance sales and make for great add-ons to complete your child’s outfits.
