ThredUP: Swap those unneeded Holiday Gifts to start the New Year uncluttered

By  | 

How many of you are doing a good old closet cleanse in the New Year? A good way to start off the New Year is by swapping, not shopping.  Especially for kids today and clothes. ThredUP (thredup.com) is an online site where moms can swap baby and kids clothes, toys, books and more.  Check this site out. It’s a convenient way to get rid of the stuff you no longer need (once outgrown) (or maybe some holiday gifts you don’t really need). ThredUP is an inexpensive and green way to get some new-to-you things.  The way it works is simple, thredUP sends you boxes to pack up your stuff in (free of charge).  Simply list your boxes on the site, and when another mom picks them, send them free of charge (thredUP will even schedule an at-home pick-up).  You can browse other moms’ boxes and purchase for just $5 plus shipping.  Visit the site to check out the toy swap and clothing swapping happening now.
