Anyone who knows me or follows the blog knows I have an enormous amount of clothes from Gymboree. My kids really only wear clothes from Gymboree, except the occasional "holiday" shirt from Target, maybe Janie & Jack or their swimsuits that are all Kate Mack. I'm not sure why this, but, I once I get on something I can let it go. I myself only purchase clothes from Old Navy, Black House/White Market, Anne Taylor, Target and ALL of my handbags are from Coach. I'm not sure why, who even knows if any of these places have good quality of clothing or the best prices. For whatever reason once I have my mind set on how something should be, I can't even consider another option. Hence the reason I purchase all the girls clothes from Gymboree.
Anyway, I must have some sort of hoarding problem too, because, I cannot bring myself to get rid of any of the clothes. I desperately want to give these clothes to a friend or family member, however, everyone seems to have boys. The few people I have offered them too with girls, their kids are around the same size as mine, so they wouldn't fit. Ahhhh!!! Normally, Pete and I take every bit of clothes we haven't worn for a year and bring everything to Goodwill, yet this has not happened in a long time. Our clothes, the girls clothes just keep accumulating...it's becoming crazy. Pete wants to have a garage sale to sell all of these clothes or wants me to sell them on Ebay. Erin and I tried the Ebay thing for a little while, however, for some reason that fizzled too. At first we sold a lot, but, then it started to become a lot of work for little money and people really take advantage of sellers. I actually thought of a a fun idea that I saw on one of my blogging buddies sight and she gave away a few things off, it was really cute and nice. I was wondering if maybe I should do the same thing. I would be willing to start small with a Gymboree coupon for 20%, that expires April 12th. If that goes well, each week I will take a new outfit and give it away free to the best candidate...what do think?
Hopefully, this will get more friends to my blog and help some people who could use clothes in these hard financial times. Pass it on to yours friends and anyone who wants to be considered must sign up to be a follower.
HOW IT WILL WORK:
Each week I will post a picture of an outfit and indicate new, used, etc.. Anyone who is interested in the outfit will post a reason in the comment section as to why they need / want it. I will read everyone's reasons and get opions from other and they make my choice. For the coupon, I can email the code or mail it, if there is time. The only thing I ask, anyone who does not live withing driving distance, they pay for shipping. I will make sure I sent the cheapest possible way.
