| Baby is not here yet, but I already have too much of some of the stuff I am collecting. Hand-me-down maternity wear that doesn't fit, some spare cot sheets from a bulk buy on trademe, some well-meant passed-on baby clothes which I just don't like... As I did not (or hardly) pay anything for them, I would feel bad to sell them, I would rather like to donate them to parents in need, but don't know where. Any hints? I am in Hamilton. |

What a nice thing to do, I pass mine onto friends but you could donate to Womens Refuge or local charity shop? ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/weIHiFu/" rel="nofollow">  |

| Yes, a women's refuge would be best, as those women often don't have a good social network with friends who pass their things on. Problem is, their locations are often secret, so I guess someone would have to come and pick the things up? |

There is a place in Hamilton where you can drop things for the womens' refuge, my MIL has dropped things there before. I think it's somewhere on River Road, I'll see if I can find out. -------------

This page has their Office address (I was wrong about the location). You could give them a call about dropping stuff off? %20" rel="nofollow - http://waikato.webhealth.co.nz/provider/service/view/92373/ -------------

Thank you all for your answers. I can't open the link though. I had the idea to just ask my midwife. In the meanwhile, my brother told me his girlfriend is pregnant, so I'll probably keep stuff for them! |
