Peace. Love. Swap.
Filed under: Baby Essentials, Fashion
Swap shopping for, well, swapping with the help of peace. love. swap. Credit: peaceloveswap.com
Because, really, why shell out for brand new books, maternity clothes, toys, kiddie shoes or baby swings when, for $5 measly bucks, you can simply take what you need? The only catch is that you bring it back to another swap when you're done.
That's the idea behind peace. love. swap. The organization produces large-scale kid's clothing and gear swaps, and offers moms nationwide the tools to start their own swaps. Simply go to peaceloveswap.com to find an event near you. Pay a $5 fee, and take whatever stuff you like -- high chairs, movies, strollers, you name it.
Leftover items are donated to charity. Oh, and, it's totally green to recycle and redonate, too.
Swap 'til you drop at peace. love. swap.

Meg Franz said...Thanks for the mention! Yes, it's five dollars to attend an event, but you can literally take what you need as long as you bring it back when you are done. And, the difference with us is that we have swap events going on all the time so you can get out the house, enjoy our family friendly venues and let the kids play while you swap! If you don't have an ongoing swap near you feel free to contact us to help you get one going in your town : )

Elle said...The swaps are a win win for everyone involved because it gives local businesses face time with people in the community and offers a lot of opportunities for mom's who want to start a side business, or to promote their business at the swaps.
