Matilda is number 1 for us, but we were given so many bags of clothes. I think I buy her 1 outfit for every new size & season, and not because we need it, but because I want her to dress her in what I like. She has sooo much pink & I was never going to dress her in pink, but I'm also not going to buy her a whole wardrobe when she's already been given heaps of clothes. I hope this makes sense, but what I guess I am saying is I think its great to give them a few things that are their own, but also for you too like Shannon said
