Not so much the really nice ones that you keep but all the other ones that arent significant for you to hang onto.

Ive been handing them onto my friends expecting but they dont really need clothes anymore.

Im thinking of donating them to woman's refugee or Plunket for mums & bubs in need. Has anyone donated to these places before???

Also what do you do with your clothes

I sold alot of stuff on TM, kept the best stuff and then gave the other stuff away. The reason I sold alot on TM was because we were strapped for cash and any little bit helped.

I have sold some of my clothes on TM but give most to my SIL or put them in the clothing bins.

I tend to sell on TM. We go nuts buying clothes though and tend to always have a lot we don't need. Most only gets worn a couple of times so stays in fantastic condition. I do bulk sales and the last 3 sales have gotten me around $120 per sale. I usually use the money to buy new clothes.
Any stuff that is a little more worn we give to the sallies

I just give it away if I don't want to keep it. Haven't sold any yet as waiting to know what this one is before I sort it all out.

I pass on clothes that in good condition but don't want to keep as don't really love to friends.

Most of DS stuff now just gets thrown out as it is hammered from DC but his good/weekend clothes I am keeping.

My clothes I sell on TM or donate to the Sallies if I know I won't get much for it on TM.

I sell the good stuff on TM (when I can be bothered), & the money usually goes on kids stuff anyway. I put a lot in clothing bins. Don't pass on as my friends kids are older.

Womens clothes and childrens clothes are always in demand by womens refuge. If you ring up your local womens refuge they will normally come and pick up.

I've either passed the clothes on to other friends, or given the rest to Pregnancy Help, who pass clothes on to needy families (newborn up to toddler age). I feel that's the best thing for me to do since they have given us help before and we get given the majority of our baby clothes anyway. Sharin' the love
