Hand me down clothes

kellyloveszach · February 2011

So my moms coworkers daughter gave me a bunch of hand me down clothes. She put them in two big Coach bags. It will be the closest I ever get to a Coach bag. I think I am going to save them so that I can put next years Yankee Swap gifts in them, to throw people off. LOL. I love hand me downs though, especially for play clothes.

Me too! Outfitting these two gentlemen is getting pricey!

My cousins and I have thing we do - we mark our kids clothes with our name on the tag and we swap them back and fourth.

Currently my one cousin hasn't had to BUY a single item of clothing out of this deal. I pretty much had to buy almost everything girl's wise since I had the first girl and didn't start getting any boy stuff until recently since two of us had boys around the same time!

Once we no longer have a kid in those sizes we put them in a bin marked gender and size/season and one of us stores them. Next one to have baby get the bin. So far my girl clothes have been worn by 3 little girls and are still in great shape!

I planned on passing down all our clothes to my brother and his wife but it turns out we will be having babies within a month of each other. I was planning on off loading everything, exersaucer etc...

Oh well. I have been lucky. I haven't had to buy too much in clothes since my DS was 1. Also a lot of the "hand me downs" still have tags on them. Sweet.

I have a clothing swap going with a friend, her sis, my sis and me as well. We all pass down clothing as we need it. It works out so well. I hardly ever need to buy clothing! And the things that get stains we just use as play clothing or throw out.
