So what ARE you doing with your DC outgrown clothes?

[BeachBum]

Pretty straight forward question :)

Please select the one(s) you do most often.

[BooeyJ2]

The super cute ones i'm saving for my sister (or myself) for future babies.

All of the rest have gone on Ebay or have been donated (either to charities or some to friends) :)

[BTB]

Saved everything so far - we have a nice mix of gender neutral colors/patterns in there and I hope to use them again. :)

[vancouvergirl]

i save my older daughter's clothes for my younger daughter. some bounce to my niece and then back to my younger daughter. when my younger daughter and son outgrow theirs, then i save them for a friend's yearly trip to an orphanage in ukraine.

i have a small box for each child for saving the most sentimental clothes.

[HGMorgann]

Saved my a good amount and my favorites, as we want lots of kids. The rest we gave to a friend who just had a baby.

[catmom]

We are still figuring this out... we aren't sure if we want another child or not, so currently we have a giant box of all of DD's outgrown baby stuff. But the sheer volume of clothing is getting overwhelming, so I'm thinking I'll donate the things I didn't love to purple heart or someplace like that.

[jen71]

I kept some that I want her to have, & some in case my sister has a baby & can use them, others I donated, & some I did go & consign.

[jesvet]

I finally got sick of storing them against the possibility of future kids, so I gave them away.

4 weeks later I found out I was pregnant again. Whoops! At least it's the opposite sex so I wouldn't have used most of it anyway.

Each one of my kids have a bin in their closet for 6 months worth of clothes - 0-6, 6-12 etc. At the end of those 6 months, I go thru them and seperate into 3 piles - Goodwill, consign and save. I am saving some of my favorite stuff for my BF and/or sister, consign the nice name brand stuff and give away the remaining stuff.

[jmvan74]

So far I've saved all of DS' clothes in case we have another boy. If not, then I'll probably pass it on to friends having babies or sell on ebay.

The ones that are poo stained get tossed. The ones that have no sentimental attachment get donated or given away. I will be keeping the ones that have sentimental value.

[Sarah]

Kept everything, unless it was gross and unfixable. It's all in bug rubbermaid bins. I lend some of it to my friends who have girls, but save the rest, as we plan to have at least 4 kids. It was great when my 2nd daughter was born, because we had almost everything we needed.

[LeslieR]

You must be reading my mind. I just folded up the last of the 6m clothes today. We're saving them for the next baby which will hopefully be another boy. If not, we'll keep what's gender neutral and sell/donate what's not.

[Winter Biscuit]

DD is 2. I have kept every single thing so far - I want another baby so I hope they will get worn again :) I have let my niece borrow some outfits, but she returns them when they are too small. I have a couple Rubbermaid bins in DD's closet. If any of my friends have girls, i will gladly let them borrow whatever I have.

[Brady]

I've been packing away and saving for a someday future child.

I just know, of course, that if I have another son he'll probably be born in opposite season from my son now.. that would be my luck and I'll have to get rid of it all anyways! :rolleyes:

[twinnyme]

Well, so far, I have mailed 3 huge boxes of girls clothes to a good friend in NC, who has a DD born about 10 months after mine but about 10 years younger than any of the rest of her kids, so she had few baby clothes still - with the agreement that if DH and I have another girl, she'll send them back (or sooner, if she prefers not to store them herself; it's her fourth and probably last kid). I am holding back especially sentimental pieces, though not many. All the boys stuff (my sisters both have sons older than my DD and have passed on as much stuff as they could that is gender-neutral) I am holding onto for a possible future DS. Everything is up in our attic in Rubbermaid bins.

[Ohana]

I've kept some, donated some, gave some to friends and consigned some. We received a lot of hand me downs, and the ones I knew DD would never wear (wrong season, plain old ugly), I immediately donated or consigned. Once I was putting away clothes that no longer fit, I went through everything again and boxed up what I thought we would use again and gave away or consigned everything else. I store everything in labeled paper boxes.

[bamboo]

Lending some to friends but keeping them all for future kids. I don't care about gendered color stuff (dressed DD in lots of boy clothes, will dress any future DSs in her girl stuff) and it's nice to have all the future wardrobes taken care of!

[cr8zyforaf]

Keeping all for future kids...we got a ton of gender neutral stuff and most of it still has the tags on it - she got really chubby around 2 months and I didn't get to use most of the smaller stuff. Also, my sister is pregnant so I will probably let her borrow some stuff. She is also now outgrowing her 3-6 month stuff and I still have a ton of outfits with tags still on - she has more clothes than I could ever put her in...it is really insane.

Once I am done with babies - I will probably donate/sell most of it and keep the things that have sentimental meaning.

[dal]

Saved all clothes from DD1 for DD2. Now I am giving most of it away to my friend. Just saved a few sentimental items and tossed the poop or spit up stained stuff.

[marchfamily]

Anything that is ugly gets donated. Stained, gets tossed. We've kept the rest. Having another girl 15-16 months after my first daughter, so hoping to use the majority of it.

After we're done, I'll keep the better/cute items for my sister and donate/consign the rest.

[saathei]

I'm letting friends use some of mine. I hope to sell half on eBay, because I'm sure not planning on having twin girls again!

[Pookie]

Keeping sentimental pieces in a small box for DS to have later. Keeping the good stuff for future baby(ies). Donate or toss stuff that is either stained or not something we liked. I also have a huge drawer of stuff that DS never wore. I'm keeping that for future babies or maybe gifts?

[EJH]

With the rate DD is growing we have an enormous about of outgrown clothes. We'll keep some of the clothes that we just love, we've given some to a cousin who just had a girl but I think we'll put some on ebay. We have clothes she never even wore (she sort of powered through the 3-6 month sizes and we never got use of some of it). My MIL's chocolate factory was right next to a high end kids store (it's no longer in business) -- so Arden had a full closet thanks to Grandma. I never thought we'd have to buy clothes this soon but she's just growing and growing!!

[skittltoes]

Keeping them for possible child #2 (if we decide to have another and its a boy).

[Aug31]

I'm keeping the ones I like, and I'm giving away all the other ones.

[allyray231]

I would say "other"

All the new ones and ones that were sentimental I kept. Any of the hand me downs that I got I gave away. Acutally my nanny took them for her DIL who just had a new baby
