To get everything 2nd hand for our baby?

We are expecting our first baby in December and are very excited about it. Lots of friends and family have had babies recently and we have been offered loads of baby stuff already (mainly clothes but some other stuff too - baby gym etc). We got a pram/ travel system super cheap 2nd hand and once it has all been spruced up it is perfect.
My mum really wants to get us something for the baby but we don't really need anything else at the moment and we don't want people to be spending a fortune on us/ the baby.
We haven't been very sensible with money in the past and are both bad for having lots of stuff and we are desperate not to continue this when the baby arrives.
Are we being sensible or cheapskates?!

could this be the first all agreement AIBU? someone upthread reminded me of the present my Mum in Law brought, electric breast pump! rush job the day they where born, not actually realised I would be unable to go to SCUB as they and me too unwell, and the hand pumps are good but not when you are as weak as a newborn kitten, so could be could to hold the present in hand, my Mum in law felt like supergran helping me with that one, and to be fair she was, DH did not know where he should be, me or them and def didn't want to leave the hospital.
