How do you politely decline...

In laws offering clothes that have been passed around thier family (and not the immediate family Im talking extended family) for YEARS to multiple children and even given out to people that arent family!!!
I personally cannot stand the idea of my baby wearing clothes that have been passed around to at least 3-4 other children... That I dont even know who these people are...
Im very picky about clothes and have very particular taste and Im about 100% sure I wont like the clothes anyway...
Most of all this is my first and Im super excited to get new clothes... Do I just accept them and never put the baby in them? Or do I say no?

Say you have so much stuff already you dont have anywhere to put it... or take it and dont use it.

I would take it and place the bag in a safe place in the attic or basement and pass it on when the next person has a baby.

Maybe you can take them and then say you went through them but the sizes wont match up for the right seasons? That way you dont have to say no but they also wont be expecting to see your DC in those clothes.
