I've had a baby every time someone else has. Our stuff is pretty well used after three kids though. I'm not sure anyone would want it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-a-lot-of-hand-me-downs#post-2618595 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 08:14:12 +0000 looch 2618595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to. Now my son's clothes are just too wrecked. And we're using uniforms now, so I am not buying any special looking stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-a-lot-of-hand-me-downs#post-2618582 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 08:05:57 +0000 lamariniere 2618582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. We don't have family nearby and in our circle, my son is one of the oldest kids and my daughter is the same age as a lot of kids so no one is handing down clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-a-lot-of-hand-me-downs#post-2618495 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 00:38:44 +0000 Boogs 2618495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have received a lot. Now we are starting to be able to give things away since we don't think we'll have anymore babies. For some reason clothes are sort of sentimental to me, so I like to give them to people that I know will take care of them and I can likely see them in use, so like a good friend or relative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-a-lot-of-hand-me-downs#post-2618471 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 22:28:39 +0000 youboots 2618471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. I save our clothes in case we have a second. But I'm happy to loan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-a-lot-of-hand-me-downs#post-2618453 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 21:49:12 +0000 caterw 2618453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have some younger friends that we used to pass some stuff down to, but now they all wear the same size. We did save a bunch in case we had another girl and sure enough we are so I'm glad we saved it!! We will probably donate a lot as DD2 outgrows things since she is the last one due out of our group of friends (4 girls due within 4 months in our circle!!!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-a-lot-of-hand-me-downs#post-2618403 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 20:55:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 2618403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything neutral is going to my little sister, who is having a boy almost exactly a year after my second daughter was born. So just about all gear is going to her. I'm packing up the clothes and storing in hopes that she has a girl next. We got lots of hand me downs and I like to pay it forward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-a-lot-of-hand-me-downs#post-2618401 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 20:53:12 +0000 Smurfette 2618401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a lot from a friend when she was little. But then my LO caught up to her peanut. We still get some from our neighbor since her daughter is older. I will gladly give everything away once LO2 is here and out grows it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-a-lot-of-hand-me-downs#post-2618394 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 20:50:32 +0000 twodoghouse 2618394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my kids were younger, basically everything went to my sister's twins who are 6 months younger. Now they wear the same size as my kids though, or larger sizes in the case of our sons, so I only send shoes to her. My cousin has a little boy who is a year younger than my kids so I send a lot to her, but I'm also holding back a lot of their expensive things to resell eventually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-a-lot-of-hand-me-downs#post-2618361 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 20:16:28 +0000 Bao 2618361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get a lot of clothes hand me downs from my siblings kids, but we also like to give away a lot of things the girls outgrow if we can! Either online in local Facebook groups or to friends. I'm going to go through some old clothes soon here and see what I can't pass on to friends/others in need! </p>
