Why can't a grandparent pick out clothes?

Many grandmas really suck at it. I prefer to pick my child's own clothes.

My MIL picks awful stuff and doesn't provide gift receipts (on principle, so I can't return - but it doesn't mean my kid is wearing that stuff.)

The fact that OP is posing this question to an Internet forum rather than asking her own son/daughter about stores is a big red flag to me. My mom knows where I like to shop.

My sense is she wants the kid to like the shirts and to fit in in kindergarten. It's nice and sweet. Parents shouldn't be wound so tight that their kids can't wear a few shirts that they didn't preapprove or pick out themselves.

Shoes are tough. They might not fit or he might find them uncomfortable. Maybe gift card for shoes?

If you want him to dress to impress the rest of the kindergarten set, get him a couple of graphic Ts, especially if he doesn't own any already.

Minecraft, Pokemon and Star Wars/lego Star Wars are the coolest

Uh, hardly. Try Under Armour.

He is Kindergaten. The kindergartners are all into characters and have zero interest in Under Armour.

That is more for the mid to older elementary kids through middle school.

My kindergartner and his friends were all wearing Under Armour and Nike. That said, they're all little brothers of big brothers. So they've been looking up to the big boys for what's cool to wear. Character tees were acceptable to my kindergartner too, but I could NOT get him to wear anything like Boden. I mean, I guess I *could have* but it wasn't worth the screaming and crying fits it would've taken.

Fine it's her money. Clothes may be worn, may not be.

New poster here, you are reading waaaay too much into this. Maybe the grandma just wants to surprise her grandkid. Sheesh...
