I did a spin through our "junk room" today and came out with a bunch of stuff to freecycle. I was thinking of dropping it all off at the thrift store just to be done with it, but I really like the idea of it going to someone who can use it for free. I really hope that it can be picked up by Friday, though. DH and I are hosting a sledding party - we'll have about 20 people. Right now I have three big piles of stuff in the office. I would hate to have to find a place for it if it's still here by Friday.
Moral dilemma: A friend of my SIL always gives me her son's clothes, as he is about 2 years older than my ds1. I haven't bought any new clothes for him in over a year now, and I have enough clothes to last through his 5th birthday (he's 3 now) easily, due to her. The thing is, she has also given me a number of new, with tags, brand name clothes (Gap, Osh Kosh, Tommy, etc.). If we can use these, we will...but she has given me so much that I have to get rid of some of the clothes because they take up too much room. I was thinking of selling some of the nicer items on E-Bay, but I feel guilty about it. I mean, she could have done this herself, but she gave them to me instead. My other options are to freecycle the items, or to donate them and see if I can get the donation receipt with her name on it (we do not itemize - if she does, then at least she will get something out of it). What would you do?
