A New Way to Shop for Baby?

A New Way to Shop for Baby? February 21, 2013

My little June baby does not fit many of our hand-me-downs, so I am getting to buy some baby boy clothes for the first time in about 10 years!  I love Carters for cotton basics that wash and wear well, and I love that you can often buy them on sale and gain coupons for the next purchase, I think they are doubled on Tuesdays, but I am going to check before I purchase.

Anyway, I just got an email that baby things are 50% off there, and then I clicked through and saw this bundle.  I can’t copy the picture, so you are going to have to link over there and then come back and tell me what you think.

What are your thoughts about that one stop shopping, buying a complete matching set like that and then having all of the pieces work together for the entire season?  On the one hand, it seems convenient, easy and cute.  On the other hand, I might get sick of that cute little crab theme if it is all my baby wears all summer?  And should I take the time to add up the cost of individual pieces that I would really use to see whether it would be cheaper to buy it without the mitts, bibs and blanket? On the third hand, I really do love the matchy match, and my kids could dress him and he would always look put together?  That’s how I get three hands, by the way, one of them belongs to my right-hand 10 year old daughter.
