Hey Moms- check this out!

I recently discovered a website that looks fun AND makes sense. I have been lucky to have a sibling who has two daughters older than A. and provides me with some adorable hand-me-downs. I feared the idea of trying to find boys clothes but found a friend who has an older son and baby girl. Thankfully we can swap some clothes. I also have grandparents who enjoy finding adorable clothes for our kids. With that said, I am still very excited about thredUP and hope that you can check it out.


ThredUp is where you can list your gently used clothing items that your children have outgrown. Some sizes are in high demand so you earn credit for them towards a box you want. When someone chooses your box you print out the postage on your computer and drop it off at the Post Office, so no out of pocket expense for yourself. When YOU order a box you pay $13 shipping (if you have credit from one of your boxes it will be even less than $13)! These boxes are packed to the brim with clothing, so you may be paying as little as $1 per piece of clothing. There are very good brand names listed and the majority of people who are swapping their clothing are highly impressed with the boxes they receive. If there is a problem with a box, I hear that their customer service is very good and will resolve any issue you have. Now you can swap with a new friend- even if they live across country or just on the other side of the county.
If you sign up through this referral link, you receive one month of PRO status for free, which means you get to see boxes earlier than the members who aren't PRO, as well as several other perks. I'll receive another month of PRO status as well, so I thank you if you do sign up through that link. I think it will be fun to open the box and experience Christmas any time of year with a fun surprise of the unknown. They don't do pictures for simplicity but you can clearly describe the contents of the box. I hope to put together a box this week and I'll let you know my opinion when I pick a box and receive it. Has anyone else had experience with thredUP? :) Check it out- and sign up!
