Having so far kept all my daughter and son's baby clothes, I am rapidly reaching the situation of having more kids clothes than Mothercare! Really do need to sort through it all.


The newborn/ young baby clothes are all barely worn and perfect condition so easy to rehome


My daughter does however have some outgrown clothes that although not at all worn out and loads of wear left, do have the odd mark on. Nothing major, just nit perfect. Seems very wasteful to bin these but then what can be done with them? Any ideas?

I thought charity's only wanted the perfect stuff. I suspected that charities that actually use the clothes rather than sell them may be happy to accept them but wasn't sure..... Is there anywhere local that would use them?


The marks may even come out, maybe a soak in vanish, another wash and hung out to dry on a sunny day....

My Mum voluteers in a charity shop - stuff too worn to sell goes in a rag bag & gets sold off by weight so the charity still benefits.


I think it then gets sorted & some goes overseas - Africa etc, some cut up for arts & crafts, some as rags for garages etc.


I'd say either to charity or give away as a job lot by age via the forum. Personally I think some less than perfect clothes are perfect for days when we are painting/doing art & crafts/off to the allotment etc.!!

    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money 
    • Lots of good primary schools within reach of there. Fairlawn, Goodrich, Ivydale and Horiman. Secondary schools you will definitely get into the Harris Academies or Sydenham Girls or Forest Hill Boys, you might just be on the boundary for the East Dulwich or North Dulwich Charter but it changes every year.
