First topic message reminder :

absoloutly hate it when other people buy their kids clothes?!
Dita got loads for her birthday and theres maybe 2 items i would have bought myself but the rest i wouldnt have looked twice at!
I like my lo's to look a certain way, and it makes me feel me having them dressed how i like them so i absoloutly hate when ppl buy them piles of clothes!
i just sorted through her 12-18 month stuff for when she's ready and theres maybe 2/3 that she will wear loads and the rest will be 'play' clothes. Tis such a waste of money, i know i'm just fussy but everybody who knows me knows that i dont like 'just anything' so why do it?!?! then wonder why she never wears em!
grrr it makes me so mad lol, also it annoys me because yeah she has a pile of clothes, so oh will say 'she doesn't need anything' when i next buy an item of clothing, maybe she doesnt need them but i want her to look nice!! x

I can't afford to be choosy lol! I'm skint so I love when people buy my kids clothes - yeah there are some things that aren't really what I'd choose myself but they are good for indoor days. I usually keep 2 or 3 of my favourite outfits for each as special 'going out clothes' and the rest as everyday clothes.

I do try to get wear out of most stuff that people buy them, I can't bare waste. There is always the option to return clothes and swap for things you prefer too rather than completely waste the money - most people who buy my kids pop the reciept in with the parcel or if not stick them on ebay or at least give them away free to a good home rather than waste.

Only things I really don't like are cream/beige/brown clothes - my kids have my colouring and we all look absolutely terrible in those colours so I do try to steer people away from them and I'm another who isnt a fan of winnie the poo but I did put both mine in them that were bought when they were tiny.

My kids are beautiful in whatever they wear in my eyes

xx

I love it when my family buy her clothes but thats because they know my taste i especially love the beautiful things my aunty sends over from Canada my lucky little girl even got a canada 2010 olympic zip up top i really wanted one it was so warm lol.

there was one thing my other aunty who lives near to e brought her last christmas and hiddious is the only word to describe it, it was too big when she got it and then when i gor around to trying on her again it was too small.

sam's dad always buys the kids clothes for easter, birthdays etc and tbh i don't mind it....i usually love the stuff and even if i'm not hugely fussed, i'm just glad they've bothered to get them something


the kids have millions of toys and having clothes as gifts just means it's a little cheaper on my pocket...i think there is only one outfit i was given for lily-ann that i've refused to put her in...but that was just plain hideous...even pepper wouldn't take it for charlotte!! lol

I'm generally lucky as it's my Mum who's the big clothes buyer and she has great taste, sometimes I see what she's bought and I'm a bit uncertain but then I put it on her and she looks great!

I hate the next size up thing when people obviously haven't thought what season it'll be when she actually wears it.

lisa my nan done that today we popped up there and gracie went to her freezer asking for a cornetto i said no as she had eatenn loads at mums and she still had to have tea, gracie grabbed her hand and took her to the freezer cue my nan saying ohhh how can i say no so i shouted out they had all gone she was happy with that but my nan hovered by the freezer for about 10 mins trying to persude me to say yes

there a pain arent they.....my MIL mustve said about 3 or 4 times 'ask your mum again'.....in the end my fil said 'ffs Sue, shut up' Hes so cool x

Ok..who wants this outfit? I cannot quite describe the color(purple/brown/rust) of the velvet pants or booties..plus it came with a plush hat that is way too small!

I actually dont think its THAT bad. Maybe not what id pick but I wouldnt not have Caitlin in it.... maybe the pic doesnt do its justice!

It's hideous! The colors are just all wrong..along with the sad horsey embroidery! The hat wouldn't fit a doll's head its that small!

if you think that's bad, wait til i show you a cardi knitted in Arwyn's daddy's favoutrite football team colours.....

jen that is quite hideous!

Flamin Heck Pixel - That needs to come with a health warning - lol xx

I'm sorry but I'm splitting my sides at both of those. Oh sooooooooo vile!

Lol! did you take her out in it?

oh I was really bad when hannah was born. I think my face said it all so now people dont buy her clothes. except my mum and aunt but they always show me the clothes as they buy it. I always like what they buy anyways.

my mil once bought hannah a fur style coat. spotted like a dalmation with a big dog on the back.
I cant stand winnie the pooh crap! and mil knew this. day she was born she got a bright pink fleecy winnie the pooh babygrow.
