I've never disliked it so I've always taken it as a chance to save $ and hers gets worn! If I'd already bought outfits I would try to work them both in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-buy-your-los-cute-xmas-outfits-and-the-grandparents-buy-xmas-outfits-for-them#post-2670410 Tue, 27 Dec 2016 07:48:13 +0000 avivoca 2670410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They wear the outfits I choose. My mom got H an outfit for Christmas and said it was for NYE. Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-buy-your-los-cute-xmas-outfits-and-the-grandparents-buy-xmas-outfits-for-them#post-2670241 Sun, 25 Dec 2016 23:38:08 +0000 PawPrints 2670241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a cheapskate so I'd see this as a chance to return the ones I bought and save the cash. Assuming I like the gifted ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-buy-your-los-cute-xmas-outfits-and-the-grandparents-buy-xmas-outfits-for-them#post-2670240 Sun, 25 Dec 2016 23:33:50 +0000 Grace 2670240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One on Christmas Eve, one Christmas Day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-buy-your-los-cute-xmas-outfits-and-the-grandparents-buy-xmas-outfits-for-them#post-2670238 Sun, 25 Dec 2016 21:41:35 +0000 Mae 2670238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends how much I care. We do two Christmases, one with DH's family a few weeks early and one with mine on Christmas day. My MIL has bought my daughter an outfit to wear for Christmas every year so far, and I don't really care. I don't really do special holiday outfits so it's fine with me. But knowing that she does it, if I ever did buy an outfit I wanted her to wear, I think I'd text her a pic when I got it and let her know I already got an outfit for that day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-buy-your-los-cute-xmas-outfits-and-the-grandparents-buy-xmas-outfits-for-them#post-2670237 Sun, 25 Dec 2016 21:34:49 +0000 ElbieKay 2670237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's presumptuous for grandparents to take over like that. They should ask the parents if it's ok first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-buy-your-los-cute-xmas-outfits-and-the-grandparents-buy-xmas-outfits-for-them#post-2670223 Sun, 25 Dec 2016 19:54:18 +0000 YouGotMe 2670223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really depends on what the gifted outfit looked like. LO wouldn't even wear her Christmas dress I bought her today so if I had been so lucky to convince her into another outfit that would have been just fine by me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-buy-your-los-cute-xmas-outfits-and-the-grandparents-buy-xmas-outfits-for-them#post-2670218 Sun, 25 Dec 2016 18:48:24 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2670218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My outfit. Based on what the grandparents have purchased in the past their clothes wouldn't be remotely close to what I would choose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-buy-your-los-cute-xmas-outfits-and-the-grandparents-buy-xmas-outfits-for-them#post-2670190 Sun, 25 Dec 2016 13:22:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 2670190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sort of had his- got a super cute fancy little velvet Christmas dress for the baby, but I already bought matching outfits for Christmas Eve and Christmas for both girls. I ended up putting it on her on Friday after she has a blowout in something else anyway and we saw one of the people who gave it to her. But I picked out their matching Christmas dresses with the 3 year olds input and they will wear them today. </p> <p>The Christmas Eve on trots were barely worn since everyone got sick and ended in pajamas most of the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-buy-your-los-cute-xmas-outfits-and-the-grandparents-buy-xmas-outfits-for-them#post-2670185 Sun, 25 Dec 2016 12:41:54 +0000 erinbaderin 2670185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caterw: Agreed. Christmas outfits, Halloween costumes, those are things the parents get to choose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-buy-your-los-cute-xmas-outfits-and-the-grandparents-buy-xmas-outfits-for-them#post-2670182 Sun, 25 Dec 2016 12:04:40 +0000 wrkbrk 2670182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Plumeria: not the same thing but i purposely don't buy holiday themed outfits for ds because i don't like them and of course - we got them anyway from grandma!! it actually stressed me out rotating him through the outfits enough times before christmas (he won't be able to wear 12 month clothes next year at 24 months so i feel that they are mostly wasted......)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-buy-your-los-cute-xmas-outfits-and-the-grandparents-buy-xmas-outfits-for-them#post-2670177 Sun, 25 Dec 2016 11:42:56 +0000 looch 2670177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One set on Christmas Eve, the other on Christmas Day.</p> <p>I've bought exactly one holiday outfit for my son though, he wore it on his first Christmas so I am really in the "I didn't even bother camp," lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-buy-your-los-cute-xmas-outfits-and-the-grandparents-buy-xmas-outfits-for-them#post-2670176 Sun, 25 Dec 2016 11:42:35 +0000 caterw 2670176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um. Mine. I'm the mommy and I get to pick out special outfits for holidays for my kids. I don't mind if they get special things if we have discussed it beforehand but if I have already gotten something I definitely want them to wear those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-buy-your-los-cute-xmas-outfits-and-the-grandparents-buy-xmas-outfits-for-them#post-2670174 Sun, 25 Dec 2016 11:06:13 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2670174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grandpa gave LO a cute outfit that she'll wear today &amp; I put her in the Christmas dress I'd planned on for Christmas Eve mass &amp; dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-buy-your-los-cute-xmas-outfits-and-the-grandparents-buy-xmas-outfits-for-them#post-2670170 Sun, 25 Dec 2016 10:04:38 +0000 ladybee 2670170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are having the same discussion. Grandparents gave us adorable outfits last night and DH wants to wash them and wear them today. I bought Christmas shirts months ago and want them to wear those. Grandparents outfits are beautiful outfits that don't scream Christmas so I think we will save them for New Years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-buy-your-los-cute-xmas-outfits-and-the-grandparents-buy-xmas-outfits-for-them#post-2670166 Sun, 25 Dec 2016 09:06:07 +0000 Plumeria 2670166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Which outfits do they wear? Yours? Theirs? </p> <p>Do you put both outfits on throughout the day. </p> <p>Do you change them into their outfits before seeing that grandparent? </p> <p>Not sure if this matters but the gift was dropped off a week before Christmas with the intention of being worn on Christmas. </p>
