Be greatful they are doting grandparents not everyone is that lucky! Can understand if they were putting you down and interfering… but buying their first grandbaby presents 
!!!
I think it’s really nice they want to buy the baby items, but I also understand your side of it too. I would meet somewhere in the middle with these suggestions:
Put the ornament on their tree (I mean they will want to buy alll of their grandchildren these ornaments right? It’s only fair)
And the outfit could be worn for dinner at their house and then worn back home to yours. So no ones feelings are hurt. In the future I would maybe say oh I can’t wait to show you the outfit I got for Christmas for baby to wear!

Seriously be happy they’re involved and say thank you. Not everyone has grandparents who spoil their baby! You can still buy whatever specific ornament or jammies you want so getting upset seems pretty pointless imo

Or send them links/pictures of what you want and let them buy it. That way you get what you want and they still get to buy it. Win-win.

Outfits and ornaments can be past down from generation to generation. Bet you wouldn’t complain if they were buying diapers or formula
Buy your in-laws an ornament, from grand baby to grandparents. It can say My First Christmas, your child’s name, or maybe have a picture on it.

They’re not trying to be controlling, but they are very excited. Its firsts for them too. Let them buy gifts and you save money for special things they won’t see or likely know about. And, unless you’re very well off, you don’t need to save outfits for certain holidays only… wear those pjs all winter. Baby is just glad to be warm, and you can switch up outfits you buy that are special to you anytime. I’d be thankful for the extras. One blowout and you need new clothes anyway, so it’s nice baby has multiple choices at holiday events.

Wow, really ? Let them be happy too. I would never say anything . I would except the gift with pride and joy.
I am really surprised this is an issue.Your child is blessed with alot of people who love him.I actually think this is negative, on your behalf.You can still do the ornament and still buy sleepers or outfit,chances are the little guy will need more than one change of clothes.They are just as excited as you are for all the firsts, seconds and thirds of everything.When you are a g parent you will get it.Now just be thankful for their love and kindness.
Don’t you realize how blessed you and your son are? There are children all over the country who have grandparents who don’t really care about them. Go out and buy what you want and let your baby wear the gifts when he visits them.
If he’s the first grandchild then this, is, all new to them too
They probably think that they are doing good and not realise its upsetting you.
They’re excited, it hurts but it’s not the end of the world. It would be a hell of a lot worse than grandparents who don’t care.
Get a decoration and inscribe it from you and the daddy.

And if you don’t like what they buy, don’t use it . No need to be rude, you could even put the kid in it, snap a picture, send it to them and say the baby crapped all down his/her back and you had to take the outfit off. It’s not a big deal.

Apparently I’m gonna go against the grain and agree with you. No matter how many kids I have their firsts are important to me. When my ex or current in laws pull that crap they keep it at their house and my baby can wear it with them. But they’re with me most of the time anyway. So if they want to spend that money so be it. Doesn’t mean I have to use it. If they want to buy stuff I’ll use they’ll learn to discuss it with me first.

I suggest any first items you want to get you do. Any your mother in law buys can be for at their home. That way you both get what your wanting
At least they’re going something, a lot of grandparents don’t bother, my grandson is my world, they obviously love their grandchild so much, you can spend the money on something else
Your overreacting. I wish my in laws did any of that for my kids! They dont even call and check on my kids and go months on end without seeing them.
I feel like people are being really hard on u for no reason. Some people are more sentimental than others, like myself lol. I wanted all of my sons 1st everything to be from me & his dad. My mom bought my son his my 1st Xmas ornament but I just had one made for him too. Its hard being a new mom, u go thru a whole bunch of emotions & ure not even sure why u feel that way. & yes as others said, when u look back at it, u might think u were over reacting but these are ur feelings now. Ure not wrong for feeling them. I feel like grandparents (or other family members) should keep in mind that URE THE 1ST TIME PARENT. Sure they’re 1st time grandparents etc. But before anyone else ure the parents, they had that chance w their own kid(s) I feel they should be understanding & let u be able to have those experiences. That’s not to say that they can’t buy them anything or whatever but I feel they should ask before getting something so special.

My opinion let them get the stuff, but keep in mind the items they buy don’t have to be his “first” if you just want to buy it or get something totally different, then go right ahead and do so. You can pick whats really his first. Honestly they love that baby as much as you do.
I think you are over reacting a little bit. They want to spoil their grandbaby and don’t mean any harm. Also, your baby is 10 months old. I’m sure they will go through multiple outfits, with the holiday dinners. You can buy outfits and do an outfit change. Also, for my son’s first Christmas, he has 2 ornaments. One I bought, and one my good friend bought for him. Now he’s 5 years old, and loves seeing how spoiled he was during his first year.
Be grateful for all the things you get because these costs add up. After awhile you won’t get as much stuff.
I was so grateful for the toys and clothes and I got for my son. Now my husband and I do it all ourself, and it’s extremely expensive

You are allowed to feel how you want. If it bothers you, mention it to your mother In law. In the meantime, you don’t have to put the outfits on your child. Buy what you want and do it YOUR way. You are in no way obligated to give up the ‘firsts’ just bc someone else wants them. I’m sure she just wants to be involved and loves and cares about you, but she had her firsts with her children. It’s your turn. Don’t stress about whether or not it’s your decision, bc it is.
Why can’t he have more than one “baby’s first” item? Just bc your in laws bought him something doesn’t mean you can’t. I’d ask the grandparents to write a little something on the back of the ornament (if possible) to signify it’s from them. You could even do it with yours. If its an outfit, change his clothes. He can wear their baby’s first Christmas outfit when celebrating with them. Etc

I think honestly that’s extremely sweet they doing that for u. They dont have to jus come from u. I mean I cherish all the things I get from my grandparents for my daughter cause I know they r precious and will mean so much to my baby girl when she older cause her great grandparents left her with so many things to look at that remind her of there love forever. For example my great grandma left me 2 Angel’s and a glass swan to most people they junk to me they r special and precious to me cause they were from my great grandma. My mom saw this ring she knew I would love told my grandma and she bought it for me I got it at 14 i never take it off my grandma smiles every time she looks at it cause when she got it I was a teen who was known for changing jewelry non stop the ring she gave me has been the only piece of jewelry I never take off and that makes her happy.

This was a huge frustration of mine when I had my first as well. I absolutely relate!
Here’s what I did: “thank you so much.” Put gifted baby items in drawer and buy your own thing.
If they bring it up, just be kindly honest. “I love his ornament, but I’d already bought him his first.”

Be thankful you saved money? Also, if you have things you want to buy/do for you baby tell them now. For example, I really want to get him this, I am going to buy his first stocking, or his first new year’s outfit…it means a lot to me that his parent’s do this thing for him. That way they know in advance that it is something you plan on doing. I highly doubt they are trying to step on your toes, but if they don’t know you can’t blame them.

You are entitled to your feelings for sure but have you broached the topic? They probably don’t feel like they are over stepping. I agree with “let them buy the things” but if there is something you specifically wanted to pick out, do it. I like the idea of keeping the ornament they bought for their home. Compromise hun. But you gotta tell them. They are just as excited as you for baby. Yes they’ve had babies before and you haven’t so if you want a first, take it mama. Give them ideas of things they can get
Just say thanks take it and buy him what you want. Just because they buy something doesnt mean they have to wear it. Or do what i did put it on them take a picture and then take it off and put them in yours as for the ornament maybe just put it in a keep sake box but not on the tree. Or put it on the tree and wright on the bottom that its from grandma and grandpa. They would be wearing what i want them to wear.

I don’t see why you can’t buy one for the baby as well. The kid would have two. One from them and one from you. It’s there way of showing that they care. It’s more then what alot of kids get from their grandparents, and kids are crazy expensive.
My in-laws did nothing My husband named our son after his stepfather too. I had one baby shower, my Mother in Law was not there. I bought most everything myself, refinished a dresser, got a used crib etc. Please do not be upset with your in-laws they are very giving loving in-laws. Just don’t tell them what you are thinking of getting so you can buy yourself. OR buy then show them. Should take care of it.

Your allowed to feel these things hun its your baba n his first xmas n that but while it is very sentimental for you to buy these he is their very first grandchild try not to get put down or put out by it im sure theyre just overly excited for having a very first thanksgiving and xmas with a new addition in the family and with it being their first granchild its very precious. Im sure theyre not doing it out of spite or anything just have a sit down and a little chat with them. And as for people saying she needs to be grateful PIPE DOWN!!! Shes not being ungrateful at all these are sentimental little milestones some parents cherish getting their babys my baby is due in 3 weeks im the same its my first baby and i cannot wait to get a my first xmas bauble or something sentimental for her and i would be entitled to be a little upset as its sentimental to me being my first. Everyone has different opinions but quite calling her ungrateful for wanting to do something for her baby on his first xmas that obv means alot to her no need.
You can also buy him his first, just bc they did doesn’t mean you still can’t… they are excited ,its the first time they will be grandparents, so enjoy their excitment
