Help me write an email...

A woman from my MOMS Club group just sent me a FB message offering me her daughter's spring/summer 24month/2T clothes.

I'd probably be pretty straight forward about it and just ask if you could give her anything in return. "Thank you so much! We've already set aside some money to purchase clothes - can I give you something for them?"<

I think if it were me, I would just accept. Then once you've gone over the clothes with her, you will have a better idea of what you could offer in exchange. She may not take money, but I'm sure she will appreciate some token of appreciation (bake her som
