You should accept all the hand-me-downs you can get, they're FREE! Even if you end up with things that you don't need, you can always pick out what you do, and pass on the other unneeded items to someone you know who could use them, or to Good Will. When I found out I was pregnant, and started telling people, a LOT of people wanted to give me boxes and bags of stuff to 'clean out' their attic/garage/etc. It was a win-win situation, I got to go through FREE stuff and pick out cute things for my baby, and they got rid of stuff that was cluttering up their attic and garage.
