Thats a great idea. Im gunna steal it ok? 

I either just give them away to someone who can use it and/or my husband takes them all in with him to work, and he leaves them with the girls in the office for any of the employees who want the stuff.  Posters are big with the kids of employees.

A surprise hat win came this a.m., so I gave it to my roofer a few minutes ago.

I use most of mine, but if its something I really cant use, I give it away for presents.

I just give them away to someone who I think will want it, friends and family.

Goodwill is good ...Or there's always other charities that can use the items rather than sell them. Things like toys, woman's clothes, cosmetics can go to Battered Woman's Shelters. Warm clothes especially, tolitries etc can go to homeless shelters. Office supplies to schools, summer camps (many operate on extremely low budgets so that kids can afford to come), and other non-profits. Churches/places of worship can use the toys in the nursey (especially hard ones that can be washed). Toys can also go to Children's hospitals. Winter clothing, shoes, boots, etc can go to schools also. I work in a school and our nurse is trying to get donations constantly so our kids are appropriatly dressed (94% of our students live below the poverty line)

Or you can always sell stuff on Ebay or trade it. If anyone has an item they can't think of a charitable place for let me know!
