ThredUP: Free Children’s Clothing Swap Online

So have you heard of ThredUP?  Clothes don’t grow, but kids do.  ThredUP lets you save money on children’s clothing by swapping with a network of parents across the country.   You pack up your clothing in a box and then you pick out a box of clothing online that you want to receive.  Sounds simple?  All you pay is the $13 per box shipping fee.

Simply navigate the gently worn clothing listings on their website the way you would on eBay, iTunes or Amazon.com. Sort by gender, size, brand, season and type of item. Find baby clothing, toddler clothing, or pre-teen clothing. Find a box you like, pay for shipping and it's yours!

As we all try to do more to Reuse and Recycle our belongings, ThredUP sounds like a great way to get rid of outgrown clothing without buying new stuff.

Of course I’m very curious to know if anyone has tried it, because I haven’t.  Are people getting rid of cute clothes or only the no-so-cute stuff?  Send me an email if you’ve tried ThredUP, I’d love to hear your experience!  abby@littlemiraclesbabyplanning.com
