How to Regift Your Old Baby Clothes

Some may think that regifting is rude, but there is nothing wrong with being practical especially at the present global financial state. Most things that get regifted are things that you were given before yet never found a use for, such as kitchenwares and home accessories. What some families neglect to give away rather than keep rotting in their storage rooms are old baby apparel. Babies grow fast and the clothes you bought for them when they were born probably were barely worn at all. Therefore, you stored them all in boxes and placed them in the attic to be forgotten, when in fact they still look good as new. Many expectant mothers would be very pleased to have them instead than buy new clothes at these rough times. Having a new baby in the family means more expenses allotted for their milk, diapers, vitamins, and medical care. Losing the extra burden of buying new clothes is a more than welcome thought than you could imagine.

Since the Christmas season is coming, it is about time that you get those baby clothes out of those storage boxes and start sorting them out for regifting. Here are a few tips to guide you on your project to make the gesture sweet rather than rude.

Old baby clothes can either be used or not. Go through your boxes and inspect each item thoroughly. Only regift those that have no stains or damages. Minor stains that can be remedied with a good laundry job are exceptions. Besides, you may need to wash them again before wrapping them.
Regift appropriately. The reason those clothes ended up in the storage boxes is because they did not fit your child, so avoid making the same mistake of giving them to babies who will not be able to use them too.

If some of your old baby clothes have minor stains on them, you may still be able to give them away to close relatives and friends. The kinship makes it easier to approach and tell them that you have a bunch of baby wardrobes that are only collecting dust, which they may still be able to use. You will be surprised at their eagerness to check your collections and ask for them.

Do not limit your regifting project on special occasions like Christmas or birthdays. If you know anyone who is expecting a baby, be ready to offer her some of your children's old clothes. You can give them one of the fancy dresses that your child wore only once for a special occasion. That awesome dress can be another baby's clothes for his or her christening.

No good intention will be left unrewarded. You cannot expect any material thing in return for the kind gesture, but you surely will receive a warm hug of gratefulness especially if you gave your gifts to those who badly need it. Aside from that, you also save on money spent for buying new gifts. Now, instead of collecting dust or rotting away, your barely worn baby clothes will find their usefulness in another home. Apart from regifting, you may also consider donating them, and do not limit it on clothes alone. Old toys can also be given away to make other kids happy.
