Me three! As long as it hasn't touched bodily fluids (eww) or I can easily sanitize it, I love trying new stuff. Swatching is totally fine, but i'm with the folks that would prefer new stuff for my actual SS with the gently used as an extra

That's genius! I'm doing that. I'm open to anything that I may like.

My kids are clothed thanks to "new to me"...especially as babies!

I once found a Calvin Klein dress that still had tags (it was labeled as $150!) and I got it for $12!

Between my nephew being 2 years older and my mom working at a second hand store, my son only started getting new new clothes this year when we moved away from them. I had 4 years of not buying kids clothes. It was awesome. The majority of my wardrobe comes from second hand stores. Much nicer on the wallet.

They grow out of them so fast (and destroy garments too) it only makes sense to get them second hand. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My little girl has been awarded best dressed for her last and only two years of school and all I do is shop yardsales and consignments religiously.  I have to though because I have super expensive taste that I can not afford other wise.  Also, at a yardsale last weekend I got three tory burch dresses for 2 dollars a piece and a velvet brand sweater.  When I find a good deal I like to look the item up online and see if I can find how much it is worth.  One of the burch dresses was still listed for 198 and the velvet sweater was 117.

I would totally not mind swatched or gently used items as an extra. I always feel kind of sad when I hear about someone throwing a product away after using it once because they think that no one else will want it.

I agree

 

[yousoldtheworld]

I am also okay with swatched/gently used. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Me 900th or whatever /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I love all the colours... all the makeups... I think the only things that would squick me are mascaras or lipglosses with doe foot applicators.

Well I will definitely keep all the stuff that was swatched and used once as extras. I didn't know there would be a demand for it. I give a lot of stuff to goodwill or goodwill type organizations. Maybe I will through a scarf in.

 

[nicepenguins]

Glad that some people are open to swatches/used once items as a bonus! I am open to these as well. I always feel bad throwing them out. Will have to check out some of these sales!

 

[nicepenguins]

I might also send something local if I can find it, or something homemade. We are from so many different places and I think it's nice to share that.

I have a local chocolate shop right down the street from my office.   Definitely throwing some of that in there.

 

[dressupthedog]

I'm open to swatched items as well. And chocolate, of course!

 

[Jac13]

I love milk chocolate.
