Just Asking

Georgiagrama — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 03:20:15 GMT

Even in my senior years I am a big Disney fan, and, of course, being older, Bambi is among the first Disney movies I saw and is one of my favorites ....

BUT... Would you pay $142 for this throw?

Huge Disney fans in this house, especially DD. I would love to have this throw, but. . . NO!

Absolutely not. It's made from polyester, so it's not like it's an expensive fabric or anything special.

yes, i would and i did, but with another throw.

the minnie mouse throw by barefoot dreams.

i purchased it for my adult daughter who LOVE mickey and minnie and collects items with them on it. those blankets are so soft and cuddly. i have also purchased their baby blankets and the new mothers (and babies) love them. they are always well received.

@sunshine45 I saw that one when it was offered. I was so tempted to get it for my granddaughter for Christmas, and probably would have had it been offered now.

I'm just having trouble justifying the cost and have no idea of durability. She is only 10 years old, so it would have to last.

@Georgiagrama While Barefoot Dreams fabrics seem really nice in the beginning, they do start to pill after a little while, and they get strangely coarse to the feel. They are heavy, and a real bear to wash. Plus they never feel as soft after washing. I regret that I bought their throws when I can get something for one tenth the price that holds up better.

@Georgiagrama

have to completely disagree with @furbabylover .

my experience with barefoot dreams items is totally opposite.

i have found them to be of excellent quality, durability, and softness. these items are made to last and to hand down. they are worth every penny and the quality is worth the price.

@Georgiagrama .... I definitely would NOT pay that much money for that throw .... in my opinion Barefoot Dreams products are very overpriced!!!! 👎👎

We are big Disney fans here too...but no...I wouldn't...

No. The price seems out of line for the product. However, I recognize that the cost is partially based upon the licensing fees paid. Disney does not allow its protected names and images to be used inexpensively.

@GeorgiagramaWould YOU pay it? Why do you care what others would or would not do?

Re: Just Asking

Johnnyeager — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 14:51:46 GMT

It's a harmless little friendly survey. No different than dozens of others posed on the Forums. I find the responses and discussion to be very interesting.

The inquiry is similar to the constant queries as to who always purchases what is frequently perceived as "overpriced, expensive " QVC food.

No different. Good topic!

@Georgiagrama I don't care if others would or would not purchase this or any other product, if I wanted it and it was within my means, yes I would. I do appreciate reviews and others opinion on a product IF they have experience with it but not based on price alone. My money, my choice!

If they had one of Snow White I would purchase in a heart beat for my married DD who loved her when growing up! And yes, I have some BD items.

Spurt — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 19:46:54 GMT

WOW!!!! Definitely NOT!!! I understand about the licensing and image and all---but a small polyester throw---NO WAY!!! If I wanted some memorablia with Bambi I think there is something else I could find.... And like @January121 said I think this line is OVERPRICED!!!.........

There's some movie framed film cells for less than $50 on Ebay if I was a Disney Collector Id rather have one of those ...

@Georgiagrama If you can afford it and it means that much to you, sure, grab it! If you know down deep it is for you do it but don't tell anybody else or you WILL possibly regret that!

I would never spend like that on someone else, because it may not mean that much to them. Especially on grandkids because you cannot know what their most cherished memories are or will be.

A hard lesson I learned in my many years is don't try to think what other people see as special and spend a bundle on it because it hardly ever works out! Like I would think you were nuts if you bought that for me. But if it means that much to YOU I'd be happy and say GO GET IT!

@Johnnyeager

I totally agree, I find this topic refreshing and different from the plethora of all the co-vid topics and little else to discuss on these Forums......

For my favorite Disney..."Lady and the Tramp"...I sure would!

Re: Just Asking

Suziepeach — Sun, 06 Dec 2020 15:41:32 GMT

Over all the years we've collected many nice pieces ($$$$) of Disney stuff and nope I sure wouldn't pay that for a throw.

I have to give Disney credit for persuading grown adults to pay 20x markup just to buy toys and children's items for themselves without having to feel embarrassed about it.
