Have you heard of Thred Up? I’m pretty sure it is going to be one of my new favorite things. I kinda of can’t wait for Jemma to grow out of some more clothes so I can start swapping! Here’s the basics …
PICK – Browse boxes listed in the thredUP community and select one you’d like to receive. Hopefully, by now, you have your friends on thredUP so you can just pick their boxes. If you’re busy, tell us your clothing preferences and the experts at thredUP can choose a box for you.
PAY – Once you’ve picked your box, all you pay is $5 plus shipping to have it delivered.
PREPARE – As part of this process, you are required (this is a swap after all!) to list a box of clothes that your child no longer wears. We’ll ask for basic details such as types of clothing, number of items, colors, brands, season and sizes. Don’t worry, the USPS will mail you empty boxes for your gently used clothes.
SEND – When someone picks your box, thredUP will alert you and ask you to send this box. It is free to send boxes on thredUP because the recipient pays the shipping. You’ll be able to print the shipping label and schedule the pickup all in one click. Would you rather drop it off at the Post Office? No problem! Just cancel the pickup and leave a note for your postal carrier. As soon as your box is tracked by the USPS, you will see your box status has been changed to “shipped” in your thredUP closet.

I had never heard of Thred Up before just now, but it sounds like it's right up my alley. Thank you!
I know someone who has been using Thred Up for a while & the clothes she gets are worn & usually about 10 years old. So if you're not picky & don't mind not knowing exactly what you're getting, pilled tshirts, etc. then give it a try.I think the term "gently used" means different things to different people, she's happy with it because it's basically free – she's never had a problem with stains.
That's such a bummer to hear! I was really hoping this would be a fun way to try new things, but I definitely want quality!Thanks for the head's up :)
$5. seems like a small price to pay for a surprise in the mail:)
