It pays to have 2 daughters with a year age only. There are hand-me-downs which makes me save on a lot of things. For my situation, hand me downs from Gwen Mari are not directly given to Stefani. We still have Agatha (my brother's daughter) in between to share the stuffs with. The cycle of hand-me-downs goes Gwen - Agatha - Stefani Everything is being shared among the girls. Clothes, shoes and even walkers are shared among them. I don't worry too much about Stefani not getting enough because she gets a lot. Since she receives both from her 2 ates, she gets double of everything.

Stefani also gets her own first hand items. I buy for her too. Tatay wants to let her have her own things too, so that she won't be 'kawawa'. Mostly, she gets a little of new clothes. Styles that her ates don't have. She gets better quality items since I spend less for her

For those in doubt if they should receive hand-me-downs, I say grab it. You can choose the best things and leave those that you won't be needing. It is like doing the apidexin reviews, always look for the pros and cons. But with hand-me-downs, you always get the best deals :p
