What to do with unwanted Christmas presents?


Recommended Posts

Happy New Year everyone!


Father Christmas (and everyone else!) have been very kind to my 2 children this year (aged 2 and 4) and we consequently have several duplicate toys and a few bits and pieces we just don't have the space for!


I hope I'm not coming across as ungrateful, it's lovely that so many people want to buy for our children but we live in a little 2 bed roomed place and have limited storage. I would like to give them away to a charity or anywhere really that needs them. There are puzzles, a doctor's set, some crafty making kits and pjs, all unopened. I could take them to one of the charity shops on Lship Lane but thought I'd see if anyone one here had any ideas or is in a similar situation.


Thanks!

Hi


I run a website that you could sell the items on.

It is free and quick and easy to use with none of the form filling entailed with eBay.


I have just launched it and am promoting now so you may get some interest if you put an advert up now.


The Site is called www.childrensseconds.com. If you wanted to donate to charity you could always give some of the proceeds to charity once you sell the items.


The refuge centre off Barry road is another good place to give stuff, I often take items I cannot sell such as car seats and they are always very grateful.


If you have any questions please contact me.

All best

Alfy

    • I have never been able to get an appointment.  Even getting repeat prescriptions is a battle.  They are the very worst GP practise I have ever been with.  You can not book an appointment in advance.  It is terrible I need to change to another practice.  Does anyone recommend another GP practise please.  It is very stressful trying to get through on the phone and the apps are even worse.
    • Once again I received a negative experience with Tessa Jowell GP Practice. On Friday 22nd March 2024. I needed an appointment. at 8:00am, I consulted the evergreen website, to book an appointment, and I also started a telephone call at the exact time - 8:00am. While on hold, I repeatedly tried to arrange an appointment online as the surgery encourages its patience to book an appointment through this method., On each occassion, I am seeing a message informing me the evergreen service is closed. I do not understand why its closed, and why i am unable to book an appointment. Its 8am, and I am expecting this service to be ready for use. I finally abandoned trying to secure a GP appointment, and remain on the telephone line, waiting patiently for someone to answer my telephone call. Despite my telephone call starting at approximately 8:00am, the telephone call is disappointingly not answered until 8:44am, almost 45 minutes, which is totally unacceptable. This is not an acceptable level of service, especially for patience whom are ill, and waiting for an appointment. My experience goes from bad to worse, when i am advised there are no appointments for the day to offer me, and I am advised to call back after the weekend. If I have telephoned on the exact time the surgery opens, how can there not be an appointment? This surgery is not fit for purpose, and there are clear signs, this surgery is not fulfilling its contract. I am not happy, as each time I have contact with this organization, there appears to be a problem.  
    • Hi all,  I just want to ask you all to be vigilant when buying any items.  I recently went to buy an item.  I won't say exactly what it was because I do not want to embarrass the seller.  Anyway as I was carrying it to our car I noticed a red Beatle thing on it.  As we looked at the item it was covered in orange red bugs.  Hiding in corners and eggs etc.  It was a very unpleasant experience and has put me off anything ATM.  I obviously returned the item and got my cash back.  But it was awful and  scary as I could have ended up with a infestation.  later I googled bed bugs and this confirmed what we thought they were.   So please look carefully at any item you purchase and do your research.
    • My neighbour saw them from an upstairs window,  from her wheelchair.
