Save money - organize a clothes swap
One thing every women has a lot in their closets are old clothes. These are still usable, and some of it are even unused.A great way to earn money is to have some of your friends raid your closet and buy those old and rarely used stuff.
Another way is to organize a clothes swap. It’s a fun and inexpensive way to get rid of old stuff and get “new” stuff in return.
I found these tips on about clothes swap at lifeorganizers.
How to organize a successful clothes swap:
- Invite your friends & ask your friends to invite their friends
- About 10-15 people is the goal - aim for all shapes & sizes
- If you are hosting the swap at your house, make sure you have at least two full-length mirrors available
- For those of us who are modest, make sure there are other rooms available to dress and undress. If this isn’t possible, remind people they can wear a body suit or bathing suit underneath their clothing if they wish.
- Clothes swaps can be seasonal, but they don’t have to be: The best clothes swaps have all seasons clothing.
- If two people want the same item, you can have fun with this by either a coin toss, or having each person model the item of clothing and have a vote (do this only if you’re sure there won’t be hard feelings).
- If you have second thoughts about an item you have up for grabs - speak up quickly. A simple “Hmm, I’m not so sure I’m ready to give that up yet,” should suffice, before someone else gets too attached to the item.
- Be prepared - for a good time! You’ll be surprised how much fun you’ll have with a group of women trying on clothing!
Tips for men: Help your wifes to organize a couple of these swaps and probably you can save enough money to buy the man of the house (you) some cool gadgets such as a DVD walkman player.
